Arthur Pearson, where blinded men
dition to her lecture, a number Of
stereopticon views. showing what is
being done in both France ana Eng
land, in the work of retaining
wounded men, were shown.
Mrs. McCan paid tribute to the
courage of the women in these coun-
tries, and said that the American
mothers need not fear for their boys,
as the English women are giving
them the same care as they give their
own.
Up to the present time, America
has given Of her surplus to assist in
the great amount of work that is be-
ing done, declared Mrs. McCan, but
the time has now come when she
must give of her savings. American

Fairgrounds in Fargo has proven sue
cessful and the children have taken
great interest in the work that was
offered them by Miss Clair Henning,

crease with the advent Of warm
weather, but the opposite was the
case, and there is now more enthus-
iasm in the work than there was at
the beginning. In order that the
parents Of the children, and the resi-
dents Of the city who are interested
in the growth Of the playground
movement might see what has been
accomplished, public exhibition will
be given at the Agassiz school
grounds at o'clock Friday evening.

invitation to all residents Of Fargo to
witness the games, folk dances and
