Woman's Literary Club Enjoy Meet
ing
The meeting of the Woman's Liter
airy club Wednesday afternoon was
much enjoyed. The leader was Mrs
Mary Smart and her manner of con-
Quoting the critical reading of Evan
geline was most commendatory. Many
interesting items of current events
were read by the club members. The
new method of conducting this
branch of the clubs work is very sat-
isfactory. At the beginning Of the
programs, the calendar committee as
signed topics to many of the men,
bers, on which they were to report
at each program meeting. Some OF
the topics reported upon Wednesday
were, Canada, music, athletics, reli-
gion, and art.
Interesting announcements made al
this meeting were that Dexter has a
Citizenship class being conducted for
a few minutes daily at the Pleasant
street school building. A few mem
bers of the club had visited the class
and found it most interesting. The
teacher is Mrs. Myrtle Gerry Of the
sub-primary and first grade room
/and the pupils are a number of
French children who came here re-
Gently from Canada without being
able to speak a word Of English. In
one period of observation, it has been
reported that they were able to mas
ter more words in a given time than
had the sub-primary grade. The pic
ture method is used.
Another announcement was that
Music week will be observed in Dex-
ter during the week Of Feb. % and
that special musical programs will be
given in some of the village schools,
the particulars to be announced later.
During the business session, the
president of the club, Mrs. Sue Hale
gave a brief but interesting report
of the Mid-Winter meeting of the
State Federation held at Bates chapel,
Lewiston, last week. Two other mem
bers of the Dexter Woman's Literary

rion Plouff and Mrs. William E.
