Mrs. James B. Scott, president of
the Philadelphia Council of Repub-
lican Women, was the speaker on
Monday afternoon in the club
house. The audience, augmented
by teachers and students of the
high school, filled the room to its
seating capacity.
The meeting was called to order
by thepresident, Mrs. c. H. Nutter,
the minutes were read by Mrs.
Wallace Burns, acting secretary.
Mrs. Harry Southard, chairman
of civics, then took the chair and
introduced the speaker.
Mrs. Scott expressed herself as
happy to be in Milford, and con-
graduated the young people pres
ent for having such a delightful
town and beautiful surroundings
to live and grow in.
She also announced that on ac-
count of the large number of young
people present she had altered her
program somewhat for their bene-
fit. She spoke very plainly on the
rights of the children, with the
sympathetic and understanding
viewpoint of mother.
The five chief important factors
which she emphasized were-to be
well born, and she briefly discussed
the importance of heredity and en-
vironment in the life of the child;
the right kind of an education; the
protection of children through the
legislation of proper laws; the
right to be morally safeguarded
and the right to be spiritually
trained.
Stressing the Importance of early
child training she said the habits
of honesty, truthfulness and polite
ness were usually formed before
the sixth year of child's age.
In addressing the young students
: she earnestly implored them to
have high aims and ideals, seeking
the best things in life, and to so
guard their actions that they would
have no bitter regrets in their fu-
turc.
She also gave warning of the
great mass of unclean literature
flooding our newsstands, and urged
the parents to take some definite
action in safeguarding the youth
from it's harmful influence.
Mrs. Postles Hammond and Mrs
VIM. Warren sang Perfect Day,
Mrs. Thomas Davis accompanist.
Mrs. Mick of the Lincoln school
was present with twelve of heI
young pupils, and they delighted
the audience in a beautiful drill

cille Southard, Kathaline Walls

las Morgan, Felix Mick and Edgal

At the close Of the program de
licious waters, sandwiches and te;
were served.

a splendid program is being ar
ranged.

Southern Baptists Vault
Evolution Barrier During
Their 7Ist Annual Meet

HOUSTON, Texas, May 12.-South-
ern Baptists today apparently safely
vaulted the evolution barrier at their
seventy-first annual convention by
unanimously accepting the Book of
Genesis as the true theory of the
origin of man. But while it found it
comparatively easy to settle the ques-
ton of theology it encountered some
difficulty on business policy which
would inaugurate budget control eX-
penditures and as a means of reduc-
tion in debts amounting to $5,OO0,OOO:
Indications were that the evolution
hurdle was surmounted not. without
some previous preparation. DR.. M E..
Dodd of Shreveport, it developed, was
the author of the declaration which
the convention accepted as it's dec
laration of principles. It, however,
came to the front in the speech ac-
cepting reelection of the president,
DR.. George w. Mcdaniel of Richmond,
who urged the convention to accept
the theory that imam was the especial
creation of God anad to reject any
theory, evolution or otherwise, which
teaches that man originated in, or
came by way of lower animal an
cestry."
