After twenty-seven years Of con-

lexington Citizens Association is
about to witness the carrying out of
Its greatest accomplishment.
That achievement is the decision
Of the Commissioners and board of
education to establish one Of the
largest and most elaborate school
reservations in the city on the slop-
ing tract of land bounded by 1st, I'd,
r and T streets northeast.
On the crest Of the T street hill the
contractor already is at work on the

which probably will be thrown open
to pupils before Christmas.
The corner of I'd and 7 streets has
been selected a s the site for the new
Mckinley High School, which is to
be the second school unit on this
spacious reservation.

WOmen'S Clubs
and Politics

Thlrty-hve years ago women's clubs
were just beginning their precarious
struggle for existence in the United
States. From the first they were a
typically American adventure, these
organizations of women formed 10
read papers and to discuss events
no meeting was complete without its
current events half-hour." The clubs
were the out growth of the intense de-
sire of women for self-culture. They
succeeded primarily because the desire
for self-culture itself was the result
of a wish to be of greater service to
the community, to the world. Incon-
testably the women's clubs were the
training school for many who after
ward became leaders in the suffrage
cause and in other phases of the fem
mist movement.
In time too the women's clubs pro-
spered. Prejudice and opposition
were broken down. The women began
to build clubhouses which became COM
munity centers. They began to be
factors in community affairs, to send
their representatives to speak for bills
before the town council, the State
Legislature, even Congress. But with
prosperity there came a certain ten
dency toward conservatism. Individu-
al women still led in the clubs and
in the campaign for equal suffrage.
Some clubs even remained in the van
Of the woman movement. They de-

veloped departments of legislation and
citizenship. They instituted cleanup
days, painted town pumps, planted
flowers around railroad stations and
campaigned for the vote. But there
were other clubs, goodly number o.
them. which decreed that the mention
of any public question, as clean streets
or tariff reform, was politics" and
politics" was barred from discussion.
Today women's clubs are entering
upon a new epoch. Quietly, so gradu-
ally in fact that the tendency has been
almost unnoticed outside the ranks,
the clubs, progressive and conserva-
tive, have been drawing together for
another forward step. With the year
the year the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs has obtained from its
100000 members payments and
pledges covering the 100000 purchase
price of the headquarters which il Is
now opening in Washington. The
headquarters will serve as center for
research information of all kinds for
the organization, but primarily it will
act as a dissemination of information
on government and government af-
fairs. Political information will be
popularized and interest and activity
in citizenship will be aroused. For the
women's clubs are about to fulfill their
mission. Just as they were started
thirty-fve years ago to supplement the
academic education of their members,
today they are preparing to meet their
need for political education, TO fit them
to be of greater service to the COM
munity and to the world.-Christian
Science Monitor.

physical therapy. At Bowling School,
it appears, the two methods are used
in conjunction to restore crippled and
invalid children. Corrective work,
including surgical aid together with
auto-suggestion, claims Mrs. Julia Nc
Grew, Principal of Bowling School,
makes it possible to free hundreds of
children from various ailments and
handicaps.
There are, no doubt, cases that above
all else need physical treatment and
surgical correction. There are other
cases where the mental factor is pre-
dominant and needs treatment. Just
how the mind affects the body is still
largely unknown, but that it does so
in many and diverse ways is widely
recognized. Hysterical hips prevent
many from walking, just as surely as
broken bones do, and an hysterical
larynx often goes beyond the power
of physical means to cure.
To the layman, it appears that what
each branch of healing needs just now
is the principle of limited liability. For
each is prone TO claim a monopoly of
power. Why should they be so mutu-
ally exclusive? Why can they not be
co-ordinated more than they have
| been?
A prominent physician-scientist not
long ago discussed this point in the
Atlantic Monthly, and showed that
healing has become a broad and inclu-
sive art. 1t now comprehends such
diverse methods of treatment as surg
cry, medicine, electricity, massage,
baths, manual adjustments and psy-
cho-therapy. The day of monopolistic
claims in medicine has passed away.
What is most needed just now is full
recognition of various methods of
healing, and a defining and co-ordina-
ton of their joint services toward the
health of all the people.-Minneapolis

''MOtherCraft"
Claims Attention
of Club Women

Mothercraft, movement for better
preparation of girls for motherhood
has within the past five years made
remarkable progress in this and other
countries. Starting in Massachusetts,
as definite standardized course of
study for girls and young women it
has in one form or another been adopt
ed in most of the United States, in
the Dominion of Canada under the
auspices of the Victorian Order Of
Nurses, and to some extent in several
other foreign countries. State and
national branches of the federated wo-
mems clubs have taken the initiative
in promoting mothercraft. 1t has also
had support from parent-teacher as
sociations, Red Cross workers, girl
scouts, camp fire girls, Americaniza-
ton centers and playground associa-
tions.

First Prize Essay.
(By Tena Vogel, Perham)
What Book Inspires You to be Worth
Whila Amarican3

While American!
what is a worth while American?
/ did not know. / did not know what
it was to be without a country. AM

Then l read "The Man Without a
Country" by Edward Everett Hale.
My entire attitude was changed. L

story, and you, also, will understand.
"The meaning of worth while
American was not written as de-
finition. 1t did not say "a worth
while American is" 1t was woven
in story-the story of man without
country. Philip Nolan betrayed by
his master, insulted his country in a
fit of madness, and in less than an
hour his punishment began. Banished
from his country with the sea as his
home, this man lived and died,-an
exile. Philip Nolan was tempted,
forgot his country, and in its great
need for him, deserted it. He paid
the penalty.
"Thus it was, the name of Philip
Nolan passed from the lips of Ameri
cans; but it did not die. 1t could not
die Even to-day, while sitting around
the fireplace, we hear the old story
''The Man Without Country" repeat

Mrs. Irving A. Caswell, Chairmen
of the Division of Literature, makes
the following comment on the essay
contest.
II consider that the essay contest

miss Tena Vogel has been awarded
| the state prize. She wrote feelingly
of ''The Man without Country, by
Edward Everett Hale. OF almost
equal merit are two others, one by
Miss Elvira King of Pine Island, who
won the state prize last year; and this
time sent fine essay on THE Promis
ed Land, by Mary Antin: and one by
Miss Fanny Shapiro, who wrote on
''The Melting Pot, by Israel Zangwill.
Miss Shapiro attends the High School
in New Ulm, in the second district, and
her essay attracts notice not only be
cause it is well-written and patriotic,
but because it is record of personal
experience in that her hereditary
hatred of Gentiles, fostered by the
terrible prosecutions suffered by their
kindred in Europe, was softened and
turned to love of America, the coun-
try that has received her people, the
Jews, by reading ZangwilPs great
drama. The chairman sincerely wish
es that more than one prize could be
awarded"

Women's Clubs in 1920 adopted the
Massachusetts, plan and made the
founder of the movement an advisory
member, distinct seal of national
approval was placed upon the efforts
of the Massachusetts Mothercraft
Committee. In many public school
systems and private schools the
scheme of study of girls health and
care of babies has been installed as
part of the work in home economics
or in some other department. Educa-
tors and sociologists for many years
past have reiterated that girls ought
to be properly prepared for the duties
of the efficient mother. 1t has been
demonstrated that when a practical
plan for accomplishing this purpose is
offered it at once finds enthusiastic
advocacy and support.
The meaning of "mothercraft" as
the term is used in this article is
restricted to definite, carefully plan
ned course of study, usually given in
about twelve lessons to classes of
young girls. The earlier of these
lessons are concerned with carriage,
posture, correct habits of eating and
sleeping and other principles of good
health. The classes then take up the
right care of the baby in the home.
Using large doll as model the teach
err, who is ordinarily the school nurse
or some other qualified person, ex-
plains the application of the laws of
health to the diet, bathing and sleep
ing, emphasizing the relationship of
the clean happy home to child life.
When the course is finished the girls
write essays summarizing what they
have learned.
The genesis of this very specific plan
is interesting. Several years ago May
Bliss Dickinson was engaged as one of
the pioneers in organizing industrial
