The Woman's Club
OF
Mellwood District

The mystery of thing is at the same
time, its power and charm. To many
the unexpressed design of club, is
more powerful than when words have
limited, and possibly revealed, the in
tentions of leaders of that especial
Club. In Maryland, and in other
States too, there has been much dissat-
isfaction along the lines that result in
education. In other States. eX-
cepting North Carolina, there has been
consant attack on the old and proved
inferior systems. and these have been
put aside, and newer methods tried.
| The Womans Club of Mellwood District
has as yet said nothin G. 1t has not
yet formulated its complaint against
| the method" by which Education has
been allowed to sicken end almost die
In this Club are women whose brains
are healthy, alert and polished. There
is but one end to be considered. The
raising of the standard of the State of
Maryland to first place in Education |
instead of leavingit where it is now,
next to last. These women are study |
ing this situation. They are not TAX |
ing up fad, far fromit, they are deep
in careful study sand they are not in |
hurry! In all probability, they will t |
be ready to say much before time for
primaries and even then. they may have
arranged to take other steps. After |
all the solution to these problems is |
something that needs depth of |
thought that brings strength beyond
the dream of those who prefer to re-
main in ignorance and tireless inactiv-
ity.
The women in this Club are. how
ever, not such as take pleasure in in
action. They have served in the school
of active life: they have, learned to
turn failure into a success. The |
faithful doing of the days work in the
homes, those schools of God as they are,
has brought strength that is lacking
in those who do a thing in the way
that requires the least throught, so that
more time is left for distractions.
It is safe to assume, however, that
when the solution is reached to this and
other problems in our civic life down
here in Southern Maryland, the Wo-
men of Maryland and Prince Georges
County in special. will be found not
only on the spot, but with sleeves roll
ed up, ready to turn in and do such
good, that we shall be proud to be pres
ent when the status of our Educational
rank is given publicity on the records
of the entire Union.
As the next meeting of all Women's
Clubs in the County is asked to be set
aside for consideration of this subject
of Education; an invitation has been
extended to Mrs. Brown, the Chairman
for the County on the Committee of
Education, to be present, To this in
vitation Mrs. Brown has replied, that
she will be with US, provided she can
get over the roads, which makes US
realize the hope that sprung again in
to life since the visit of Governor, that
maybe in the future it may yet be pos
sible for more frequent and better at
tended meetings te be held in Mellwood
District.
The Club has good reason to be sat.
isified with the result of the Library
Tea last Friday. Seventy-nine books
were received at the tea, which with
other books received since, will give US
enough books to begin the enjoyment
of the Library during the winter even
ings.
The presence of Mrs. Cory, the Coun-
ty President and the ladies with her
came as great surprise. for she had
sent no word that she could come The
County President is very proud of this,
the newest of the County Clubs, and
takes deep interest in it's develop
ment.
Members are urged to be prompt in
attendance at the next meeting, at
the home Of Mrs. Albert Ober, on Feb
ruary 1st at 2 o'clock P. M.
