MRS. E. QUAMME
IS HONOR GUEST
OF CLUB WOMEN
REDWOOD FALLS CLUB WOMEN
HEAR GOOD TALK BY PRESI-
DENT OF STATE PARENT
TEACHERS CONGRESS.

Mrs. E. G. Quamme, president of
the State Congress of Parent Teach
ers was the guest of honor at tea
given by the club women of Redwood
Falls Monday afternoon. The gath
ering was held in the parish house and
attended by fifty of the members of
the Equality Club, the Twentieth
Century Club and the Womans Club.
A talk by Mrs. Quamme was the big
feature of the meeting.
Preceding Mrs. Quamme's inform
al address, Mrs. John O'Meara sang
The Swallows, responding to an en-
core with little Irish song. The
honor guest was introduced by Mrs.
w. B. Clement, president of the Wo-
mans Club and gave an excellent talk
on the cooperation of club women
with the work outlined by the Parent
Teachers Associations. The speak
er prefaced this talk with an apprecia-
ton of the work federated clubs
have done in many fields and paid a
glowing tribute to Mrs. M. Leona
Rounds whose interest in mothers
clubs, in everything pretaining to the
schools and her leadership of the
federated clubs of the State made her
a valuable assistant in the work done

SPEAKS AT LOCAL
ASSOCIATION MON.
MRS. E. G. QUAMME OF ST. PAUL
GIVES SPLENDID TALK ON
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF PRO-
GRAM.

Mrs. +. q. Quamme OF Saint Paul,
president of the Minnesota Congress
of Parent and Teachers was the
speaker at the Monday evening meet
ing of the local Parent Teachers As
sociation. Her address was the chief
feature of the interesting program
given and was supplemented by two
vocal duets by Mrs. Max Treu and
Mrs. Clarence Hillig with Mrs. W. B.
Clement accompanying. Mrs. C. M.
Showalter, the president of the local
organization, presided at the meeting.
A committee of members served re-
refreshments during the social hour
following the program.
Mrs. Quamme gave to her audience
a clear and vivid picture of what
should be included in the work OF
Parent Teachers Association, stress
ing first the work with the child of
pre-school age and second the work
with the adolescent child. "What
we are working for is an understand
ing parent and an understood child"
was the speakers way of stating the
creed of the Association of which she
is the head.
Beginning her talk with brief
history of the National Congress and
citing the aims of this organization,
Mrs. Quamme told of the many and
splendid things already accomplish
ed, using her own city of Saint Paul
as an illustration of work that is
waiting to be done in every commun-
ity, and of the best means of doing it.
Claiming that the physical side of the
child should claim the strictest at
tention of his guardians during his
early years, she told of work with nu-
triton classes, of the need of super
vized play upon adequate play
grounds and urged the forming of a
strong family unit with the child and
his welfare as it's center. Physical
fitness is the first of all needs and
with this in mind the National Con-
gress is planning Roundup for the
summer of 1926, the aim of this move
ment being to see that every child in
each community is physically ready to
do school work at the opening of the
fall term A similar roundup with
prizes offered by the Delineator
magazine was a feature of the sum-
mer of 1925 and many communities,

MORGAN COUNCIL WILL FIGHT
RESIDENTS EFFORT TO SEP
ARATE FROM MUNICIPALITY !;
HEARING SET FOR APRIL 6.

Last Thursday morning the new
members of the council qualified and
at special session held at that time
attention was called TO an action
started by j. A. Shank, who seeks
to have the Redwood county board
set apart most of his land from the
corporate limits of Morgan.
The council decided to visit the
county seat and investigate the prop
osition and the advice Of an attorney
was sought. The hearing on Mr..
Shank's petition was set by the coun-
ty board for Tuesday, April 9Th, at
1 O'clock p. M, and it was decided by
the village authorities to employ coun-
sci and oppose the move to separate
/ Mr. Shank's land from the village
limits.
Mr.. Shank has $50 acres of land
inside the village limits with two
sets of buildings, one set which the
Shank family occupies.
The petition recites that Mr.. Shank
desires to separate all but narrow

the street running along the north
edge of his lands. This would leave
but 1212 acres of his land in the vii
lage, and would remove the land up
on which the buildings are located
from the village limits.
1t is said that the new law is lib
eral in its provisions in behalf of agri-
cultural lands in proceedings of this
kind but the village intends to put
up stubborn fight as they may set
a precedent in similar cases that
might be brought before the county
board.

Governor Closes
Partridge Season

In order to give additional
protection to the Ruffed Grouse
or Partridge in Minnesota Gov.
Theodore ChristiansOn on re-
quest of Commissioner J. F.
Gould of the Game and Fish
Department has issued an or
der forbidding shooting of this
popular game bird this year.
The law provides for an open
season beginning October 18th
and extending to November
10th, but on account of the un-
usual depletion in supply of
partridges by reason of dis.
ease, inclement weather dur.
ing each season and other
causes the past two years it
was deemed necessary to give
the partridge or ruffed grouse
additional protection for another
year.
Reports from all sections
where partridge or ruffed
grouse are found in numbers
establish the fact that they are
practically extinct at this time.
Some disease has been the main
cause of extinction and many
specimens have undergone in
spection at the hands of scient.

and the State University at the
request of Commissioner Gould.
AT this time the source of dis.
ease remains a mystery.

OF REDWOOD COUNTY Sue
CUMBS TO MONTHS OF ILL.,
NESS.

At 8 o'clock last evening, Wednes-
day, March 18th, death called Delaney
S. Cantine, who has suffered for a
long time with cancer. He broke a
limb over a year ago when he slip
ped on the ice, and as the fracture
did not heal properly, it was discov-
cred that the limb was affected with
cancer and it was amputated last
spring. He rallied quite we'll during
the summer, but his ailment returned
and this winter he has suffered great
ly and for weeks has been lowering
between life and death, his condition
growing weaker and weaker until
death finally came. 1t has been re-
allied for some time by the family
and by his friends that his case was,
hopeless. The burial service was held
Saturday afternoon.
For over forty years he has been
a prominent resident of this commun-
ity, coming from the state of New
York in 1884. During these years
he has been mainly occupied with
farming on large scale in the town

friendliness and big hearted neigh

After retiring from active work
the family moved to this village
where the family has made their
home for several years and where he
spent his last long illness and passed
away peacefully.
His was an active and comprehen-
sive mind, coupled with discriminat-
ing judgment and a most tolerant and
kindly attitude toward all men,
whether they agreed or differed with
him. He was one of the most enter

cheerful and kind. His friends were
many, who have followed with SYM

WORKER
TO BE EMPLOYED
IN EACH COUNTY
is AIM OF M. F. w. C. WELFARE
DIVISION WORKING UNDER
LEADERSHIP OF MRS. FRANK
MURRAY.

A child welfare worker in every
county in Minnesota is one of the
aims of accomplishments for which
the child welfare division of the Min
nesota Federation of Women's Clubs
is striving. According to Mrs. Frank
Murray, Bird Island, chairman of the
division, there are but IL counties in
the state now employing full-time
paid child welfare executive agents.
The counties include, Ramsey, Hen
nepin, st. Louis, Grow Wing, Dakota,
Rice, Winona, Stearns, Steele, MUIR
ray, Redwood and Yellow Medicine.
And part-time workers are employed
by four counties comprising Douglas,
Mahnomen, Mobiles and Pipestone.
Lac qui Parle, Goodhue and Renville
counties have appointed county nurs-
es who are full-time workers as exc
cutive agents of the child welfare
board, whereas Wabasha county en-
ploys an agent on the full-time basis
appointed by the Judge of the juve-
nile court, and Otter Tail county en-
ploys an agent appointed by the
juvenile court on the part-time basis.
In many Of the counties the public
health nurse attempts to cover the
duties which would ordinarily be as
signed to child welfare worker, says
Mrs. Murray, who has made 4
thorough survey of the question.
Practically all, if not all, the coun-
ties in Minnesota that do not have
a child welfare agent have boards,
the members serving without COM
pensation," Mrs. Murray states. "On
such board there is the county sup
erintendent of schools and one men,
Der of the board of county commits
sioners and at least two women who
are residents of the county. These
boards, cooperating with the state
paid workers, have been doing excel
lent work, and the club women at
tempt to give them all possible sup
port. The voluntary workers are al
lowed for expenses incurred in per-
forming their duties."/
In Mrs. Murray's opinion, the sery-
ices Of paid worker ore in general
held by the public of more value than
those of. the voluntary worker.
Lack of funds was given as the rea-
son for the chief difficulty in pro-
curing welfare workers in rural dis
trict counties.
