WOMAN'S CLUB AT HOME
TO FLAGSTAFF TEACHERS

Representative women to a large
number did honor to Flagstaff teach
ers at the clubhouse last Saturday
afternoon when members of Flagstaff
Woman's club were 'at home" to the
teachers of Flagstaff. 1t was an en-
'joyable occasion, worthy to become an
annual affair
Scarlet and yellow autumn leaves
were used in profusion, while fall
flowers frightened the tables.
Mrs. Frank M. Gold, president,
gave well chosen words of welcome
and introduced the principal speaker,
Grady Gammage, vice-president of
Teachers college. His theme, "The
Advantages of Having Teachers Col
lege in Flagstaff" was ably and con-
vincingly presented, principally from
the economic standpoint, the cultural
influence seemingly being already
generally appreciated.
Miss Minnie Lintz introduced new
members of the college faculty.
Mrs. John @. Thomas, from notes
prepared by City School Superintend-
ent Thomas, discussed the increase in
growth of our city schools during the
past two years, proving conclusively
the imminent need of added school fa-
cilities. Mrs. Thomas presented new
high school teachers.
Mrs. Bertha S. Kennedy, principal
of Emerson school, introduced her
corps of instructors.
Miss c. Ema Vandevort, principal
of Brannen school, presented the diff
ficulties under which she and her as
sistants so successfully teach the non
English speaking children of the lower
grades. Splendid results are being
obtained there, which can hardly be
appreciated by those unacquainted
with this class of teaching. Real tai
ent and love of this type of work is
required for success. An over-crowd-
ed condition and lack of modern
building and equipment add to the
task.
Mrs. G. B. Wilson sang a beautiful
number, accompanied by Miss Mildred
Whetsel at the piano, and Mrs I. r.
Waters, violin.
Miss Louise G. Freeland's subject,
Cooperation Between Club Women
and Teachers" was entertainingly
forceful. She stated that parents
should take greater responsibility for
the physical and spiritual welfare
and DEVELOPMENT of their children.
Mrs. +. NJ. Gold, Mrs. Charles Hill
lebrandt, Mrs. I. A. Stahl and Mrs.
". M. Slipher received, and Mrs. C. A.
Keller and Mrs. G. B. Wilson poured,
during which delightful piano and
violin selections were played by Mrs.
w. M. Cady Jr. and Mrs. Waters.
Mrs. Charles Hillebrandt was unan-
imously elected second vice president
following acceptance of the resigna-
tion of Mrs. r. G. Babbitt. Mrs
Clarence Pulliam, Mrs. William Cady
Jr. and Mrs. |. r. Waters will appear
on the program of the northern dis
trict federation at Holbrook October
30 and 81. The president was in
structed to appoint as delegates any
one who desired to go. Mrs. E. A..
Miller's transfer from the Williams
club was accepted. Mrs. p. ]. Linde-
mann reported for the civics section
which will take charge of the rum
mage sale October "a.
This division will be in charge of
the next general meeting, November
IA, when the subject will be, 'Inter-
national Relations"
The annual bazaar will take place
December 4 and 5. A ten dollar do
nation was voted for the children's
home at Tucson.
Representing the American Auxil-
iary, Mrs. Frank Curtis asked for do
nations of jelly, jam, and home can
ned foods to be sold for the benefit
of the ward at Whipple barracks
which the local auxiliary has adopted.
