he composed of the officers together

At the morning session the organi-

man John f. Nelson, who spoke on
the World Court.
Congressman Nelson declared that
further international agreements to
limit ornaments without methods
also being Forthcoming to provide for
the peaceful settlement of disputes
| between nations, are but gestures
He emphasized the need of a build
ing up machinery to settle all inter-
national differences as they arise
and the creating behind that machin-
cry of public opinion so strong that
no nation can withstand it.
He called attention to the fact
that the World Court is now firmly
established and has been function

are giving it their cordial sanction
and support. He pointed out that the

end of war but that 1t is a step to-
ward the ultimate outlawry of war.
And thus it becomes the duty of
America not only to make herself Sc
cure at home but to cooperate with
other nations in achieving and pre-
serving world peace and justice.
A delicious dinner was served in
the vestry of the church at noon, the
ladies of the church preparing the
meal. In the afternoon a delightful

Herbert Hall presided at this meet
ing. Mrs. Florence w. banforth of
Skowhegan, President of the Maine

called the morning session to order.
Two beautiful umbers were played

one by Mrs. Frances Bate of Win
throp who was accompanied at the
piano by Mrs. Ralph Masterman, and
the other by Mrs. Scion Purinton of
Augusta, accompanied bp Mrs. Lester
M. Hart.
An entertaining reading by Mrs
Lottie York of Winthrop, who was
accompanied by Mrs. Masterman at
the piano assisted by Mrs. Bate who
sang, came next. Following this
came an original poem written by
Mrs. Laura Richards and read by
Mrs. Linwood Steward, and the read
ing of another original poem, "Oh
Little Town of Winthrop" by Mrs.
Bessie Ford.
Mrs. Thayer's talk was intensely
interesting. She said, Child well

from this source to the homes of our
neighbors and playmates and on
through the community to the
school and the church"
She continued TIN this home. we
want character its corner stone and
hospitality it's hearth stone. Empha-
size strongly through comradeshir
with parents, not one or the other
but both. Take time to be with the
children during part of their play
time. Thus children will develop a
simple naturalness with their par
ents, a free open relationship In
which there is nothing to conceal
This results particularly in the BAN
ishment of deception which is indeed
a great step forward in character
formation"
The speaker urged greater interest
In the schools and the pupils, moi
ones own child to the exclusion OF
all others. but of all students in the
class. The Importance OF teachers
who will become friends Of the chill
dren, not simply teacher" was also
emphasized.
Mrs. Thayer told many interesting
things about the George Junior Re-
public where the boys and girls gov
ern themselves. electing their own

judges. doing their own work and
conducting the entire organization
along lines of Republican govern
ment. She also cited instances where
