The Women's Alliance of the First
Parish Unitaran) church met at Mrs.
VIM. B. Swans last Thursday afternoon
There was large attendance and an
enthusiastic reception of the paper pre-
pared and read by Mrs. Jennie Flood
Kreger of Fairfield. The subject of the
paper was "The School of Life". Mrs.
Kreger took up the various stages of a
PERSONS life, infancy, childhood, youth,
manhood and womanhood, and old age.
Her emphasis was upon education, train
ing the child properly in the home and
school so as to fit one for the duties of
life. She would have high schools de-
vote their attention to fitting boys and
girls more for the work that they will be
likely TO do in life rather than run them
all into the mold that prepares for COL
lege, when so few go to college. The
speaker had little sympathy with those
parents who give their children over to
the public school teachers and then think
that is all the teaching their children
need. She upheld the ideal of home and
religion as real educational forces, and
claimed that education should go on as
long as life lasts We are never too old
to learn. The paper was full of exper-
fences from Mrs. Kreger's own life as
teacher and mother, and illustrations !!
from literature and art. Mrs Kreger
was the guest at dinner of MIR. and Mrs.
James H. Howes and over night of Mr..
and Mrs. O. E. Frost. Miss Barker pre-
sided and tea and waters were served by
Mrs E. A. Sherman, Miss Charlotte W.
Colburn and Mrs. George A. Quimby.
