mm is club axd csahity
One of the regrettable features of the
club women's conferences Is the tendency
to lay too much stress on the purely tech
nical aspect of questions debated, to the
neglect of the practical side of matters.
Speakers who are thoroughly versed in the
specialties with which they deal dilate on
the necessity of a thorough and complete
understanding of the espocial thing each
has mastered, with the result that the gen
eral club woman Is not only confused by
the maie of technicalities In which she
finds herself involved, but Is frequently
actually discouraged from any further ef
fort hy the despair of ever attaining to
the perfection the erudite lecturer Insists
Is essential to success. One examplo out
of many may be cited. Much stress has
been laid on the study of parliamentary
law, and at one recent meeting a speaker,
excellently equipped as a parliamentarian,
said a woman should be ashamed to par
ticipate in a debate unless she were able
to follow It through all the Intricate rami
fications It might take under the guidance
of an expert filibuster. Such a proposition
Is almost as absurd aa to Insist that a
woman ought to be a railroad engineer be
fore she ventures to take a trip on a sleep
ing car. It is well that the presiding officer
of a club be sufficiently equipped tn par
liamentary practice to be able to decide
promptly and accurately the numberless
little points that are likely to arise during
the course of a lengthy or animated debate;
but to deprive a woman pf her privilege to
speak her mind on any topic because she
doesn't happen to be thoroughly conversant
with Roberts or Reed or any of the other
authorities on procedure Is ridiculous. Par
liamentary rules are made solely for tho
purpose of facilitating the business of de
liberative or legislative bodies, and the
practice under them varies greatly. Almost
all bodies adopt rules of their own, and
proceed under them. But the principal fact
Is that the rules are to expedite and not
retard the transaction of business, and the
lack of knowledge of their operation or
application should never be permitted to
deprive any member uf the right to voice
her sentiments on any subject, nor should
It subject her to any loss of consideration
from either the chair or the members on
the floor. The first thing to be considered
Is. is it good for the thin to do this? snd
the second Is, can the club do It T if the
members are agreed that It Is Rood for the
club to do It, and the organic law of the
club does not forbid It, then it doesn't mat
ter If It has been debated In strict con
formity to any prescribed parliamentary
code of practice. It Is the will of the club,
duly expressed by voice and vote of the
members, and being within the rights of
the club as established by Its cnnstluiilon.
It Is legal snd binding. It Is not the Inten
tion here to disparage the parliamentarian,
for it is well that all women should fa
miliarise themselves with the procedure;
hut at the same time It should be remem
bered that a straight lino Is the shortest
distance between two given points and that
nothing is ever lost by following the
straight line. Natural forces follow the
line of the least resistance, though, and
parliamentary practice Is not Infrequently
resorted to In order to turn aside the pro
gress of a project from the straight line,
and by apparently leading over an easier
course, to hopelessly Involve It In a morass
of rules and precedents. In order to guard
against such a disaster, It Is well to have
the guidance of any Important project In
the hands of one skillful enough to evade
such an ending. But If all the parliament
ary codes in existence were to be wiped
ouf at one swoop, the business of the world
would go on Just the same, and this for the
reason thatbpfore ever there was a par
liamentary code there was common sense.
An excellent text for the club speaker Is
found In the twenty-second verse of tha
ninth chapter of St. Paul's epistle to the
Corinthians.
' Now that the plans for the New -York
Woman's Athletic club have been an
nounced thorn comes the expected .editorial
"We Told You Bo," and It Is pointed out
that this club with Its bar, its smoking
rooms and Its athletic equipment is but the
fulfillment of the prophecy made from the
beginning of what women's clubs would
eventually lead to -It seems odd that in
all the attention that has been bestowed
upon women's clubs these writers have not
yet discerned that there are different kinds
of women's clubs. Just as there Is a va
riety of men's clubs; that Just as men have
commercial clubs, civic clubs,' political
clubs and social clubs, so women are or
ganised for even a greater variety of pur
poses. To confuse a men's social organisa
tion with one for phllanthroplo or political
purposes would be an unpardonable mis
take for an authority to make editorially,
simply because they all happen to be called
"clubsj," yet many of these same authori
ties, regularly and relentlessly condemn the
"woman's club," making no distinction
whatever between a purely social Institu
tion and one organised for practical edu
cational or philanthropic work. As a mat
ter of fact, the New York Athletic club and
other organisations of Its kind, are most
distinct from what Is commonly called a
"woman's club," and have no part what
ever in what la known as the "woman's
movement." The Athletic club and its kind
are synonymous with New York's four hun
dred', Its fashionable, pleasure-seeking so
ciety, while the woman's club is but another
name for the branches of what Is perhaps
the greatest reform agency of the country,
that splendid effort of half a million women
combined under the name of General Fed
eration of Women's Clubs. It Is noticeable
that the women named as the executive
board and directors are all women whose
names are known the land over as New
York society leaders, and It Is odd, too,
that the critics of the "woman's club" had
not observed that, so far from being "club
women" not a few of their names are
found on the roll of the Anti-Woman suf
frage association. !
"Japan" will be the special topic at
Tuesday afternoon's meeting of the cur
rent topics department and Mrs. C. R.
Glover will give a general talk on the

Most notable among the state women's
meetings of the week was the twenty
seventh annual convention of the Woman's
Missionary society of the presbytery of
Omaha, which met at Lyons, Neb., Wednes.
day and Thursday, the Presbyterian women
of Lyons being hostesses. Mrs. George (".
Thompson of Omaha, president of the so
ciety, presided. The assembly included
delegates from each Woman's society and
Christian Endeavor society of the presby
tery. A talk on the work of the young people
by Mrs. P. M. Conklln of Omaha and an
address on "Japan" by Miss E. M. 8ettle
myer, a returned missionary, were the fea
tures of Wednesday evening's session, while
Thursday's session. In addition to devo
tional and business, Included messages and
letters from prominent missionaries and
workers.
The treasurer's report showed $67.16 in the
contingent fund and that the year's ap
portionment of $2,100 to the Omaha presby
tery lacked but $41.36 of being met. It Is
known that more money was raised, but It
renched the treasurer too late for this
year's credit. The presbytery has under

FAREWELL FEASJ TO PEARSE
Banquet at Commercial dob Attended
by Friends and Successor of
chool Soperlntendent.
, "Give me old wood ta burn,
Old hooks to read.
Old wine to drink,
And old friends to trust."
This sentiment, quoted by Toastmaster
F. II. Gaines at the farewell dinner last
night In the Commercial club to Ex-Super-Intendent
C. G. Pearse, aptly summed up
the sentiment of the 194 who had gathered
about the long tables. ' The dinner began
at 7 o'clock; the toasts at 8:40 o'clock.
Caterer Buthorn had the tables decked
with bright palms, set In flaming red.
These were thickest at the head of the
table where sat Mr. Pearse and his suc
cessor, Superintendent W. M. Davidson.
F. H. Gaines, who acted as toastmaster,
began the evening with some apt remarks
and read letters of regret from C. E. Bes
sey, dean of the State university, and F.
W. Kellogg of the Des Moines News. Tel
ephonic regrets of C. H. Pickens, from
St. Joseph's hospital, were read by Charles
S. Haywood. J. W. Maynard rose to the
toast, "The Schools of Omaha;" T. J. Ma
honey had the subject, "Up-to Date;" Rev.
Robert Yost talked about "Sharps and
Frills;" F, E. Sanborn presented "The
Auditorium end Other Enterprises." Mr.
Pearse himself responded to "Farewell."
C. C. Wright was to have responded to
the toast,' "Our Guest," but was unable to
be present. H. C. Brome took his place.
Then Superintendent Davidson made a
pleasing talk principally on his long ac
quaintance with Mr. Pearse,- whom he
said he had met first In Beecher's Brook
lyn church, when, they both had gone
separately as sightseers. During his re
marks he paid Omaha citizens the com
pliment of saying that they seemed to pull
together as a well trained boat crew. The
guest of the evening was presented with a
handsomely, bound souvenir book and the
fountain pen .with which the names were
written.
