LADIES ENTHUSIASTIC
FIRST MEETING OF THE YEAR
LARGELY ATTENDED-PLANS
ARE OUTLINED.

If enthusiasm and loyalty can ac-
complish hat which the organization
has set u to do, then many success
full results are to be expected from
the efforts of the Civic and Child
Welfare club.
The initial 1917 meeting of the
club was held yesterday afternoon at
the home of the president, Mrs. III.
Fl. Frudenfeld. Aims of the club and
preliminary steps toward their full
fillment constituted the keynote OF
the meeting.
A proposition to cooperate with
the Choral club, whereby the mem
bers of the Civic club will endeavor
TO augment the present number of
the Choral society and aid in the
forthcoming production of the ora
torio. Creation" was favorably re-
ceived.
An initiatory movement was dis
cussed. by which the club hopes to
benefit the young people of the city,
in petitioning the use of the high
school gymnasium for organized
classes under a competent physical
instructor. This plan if successful,
according to the club will eliminate a
few of the dangerous sources of evil
by which the youth of Il city are
surrounded. A tendency towards
clean athletic training is a direct
step toward high moral ideals. In
the well known growth of Madison
and in keeping with past and present
pride in its high class of citizenship
conditions affecting environment Of
young people ought not only be safe
guarded. but also stimulated towards
a positive betterment. Organized
class work at the gymnasium in
which the interest of our boys and
girls may be aroused should offset
many of the apparent temptations
in the city's development.
Noting the steady improvement of
the city at present and more especial
ly the rapid growth in the building
line, a tentative movement vas
launched, so that in conjunction with
other organizations interested in civ
ic advancement, a portion of some
desirable land might be set aside for
a future city park. This plan was
favored in a general way by all
present.
The club presented two volumes Of
THE Child's Welfare Manual" TO the
public library. These books are of
great value to the mothers of the
city and the wish of the club is that
the %perusal of same will be of ben
eft.
