ASSEETS STUDY CLUB NOT DEAD
Tha typical clubwoman who never
make! a public address without her writ
ten paper wa given a decided aethack
by Mn. Thomaa U. Winter, chairman of
the literature department of the Ooneral
Federation of Woman'a Cluba and presi
dent of the Minneapolis Woman's club.
"I am not In favor ot the written pa
per. Juat think. In America womn are
the only leisure class, yet the average
woman, when she has to present t. sub
ject, consults the handiest encyclopedia,
jots down the eon lent and reads a paer
in public," was Mrs. Winter's arraignment.
'The study club Is not dead, as many
will tell you. It la only dead study that
la dead. Literature Is as necessary aw
feed. Avoid the dusty. dlny byways
and when you read the ancients, read the
characters not aa figures of the long ago,
but get the. message of living, breathing
persons."
Mrs. Winter intimated that the woman
who reads classical worka without un
derstanding their message was as use
less to society aa the bridge player.
"Tha literature of today Is alive, not
pcdantlam." Mrs. Winter prophesied,
too, that the literature of today whs hut
the forerunner of another golden age in
I'terature.
ea for Poetry.
"True, there la light literature, but that
s'.metlmes has more of a solution than
the ponderous sort. Never lias there been
an age that needed poetry more than
ours.'
Mr. Winter pointed out how all the
great problems ot the day could be better
understood with literaturo as a means.
"The Immigration proulem Is one of the
greatest questions ot the day. While we
are complacently calling ourselves Anglo.
Saxon, immigration statistics prove that
eHava are coming to these shores in
greater proportion, than any other people.
What are we doing to Americanise them?
How can we do anything for them, how
can we possibly understand them unless
we know their literature and art?"
Mrs. Winter advised reading aloud and
open discussloa aa the best mean for
real study of literature and admonished
all mothers to require their children to
memorise counties lines ot poetry, even
if it was beyond their little minds. "In
later years they will reap the benefit of
the lines of which they had no concep
tion." she said.
Miss Ethel Dixon of the Brownell Hall
faculty spoke on "Modern Drama." deal
ing with the time schools, ayniboltam,)
realism and' romanticism. The program
was In charge ot Mrs. C. If. Mullin, leader
of the literature department.
At th. business meeting Mrs. Winter
also told the clubwomen of the success
eg a business venture of the Minneapolis
Woman's club building. The Omaha
' Woman'a club has long contemplated such
a structure,
"The women must raise the money for
such an undertaking. Tou must learn to
put your money where your hearte are.
You women would not hesitate at the ex
pense of a hat or a lace collar." aha said.
Mrs. &....Q. Peterson... president of- the
Nebraska Federation of -Women's Clubs,
made an appeal for the Belgian icllef
fund and also for a loan fund to further
the .work of the scholarship fund.
Mrs." I'age Morriolon of the Council

Mrs. Winter and Mrs. Peterson were

Terre Haute last October, according to
Ira Wellman, Silas Brewer and Joseph
G. Elder, who testified In the Terre Haute
election fraud case today.
Wellman said he verified the poll In
three precincts. In one precinct he found
two dead men registered, he testified.
One man had committed suicide a tew
days before registration and the other
had been dead several years, he aald.
He added he had fonnd one man regis
tered from a street number which would
have been in a gravel pit filled with
water. He was unable to find about X
men en the registration books, he testi
fied. Brewer said he worked In four precincts
and found one man, who had been dead
p year, registered from a house that had
been moved away. There were a total
of about 200 names on the booka that lie
could not find at all, he asserted. In
addition, he testified, many ware regis
tered from vacant lots and Impossible
street numbers. Elder gave similar testi
mony.
Over repeated technical oh.lettions the

demned by the city building in
spector that if a fire should break
out in the Park school the children
would be trapped. These alarming
statements by Dr. Holovtchlner
stirred the members of the school
board Into the most enthusiastic
meeting held since the organization
of the new board. Members will
visit the Bancroft, Park and Mason
schools today to determine real con
ditions. .
There is a possibility that the old
Bancroft and Park schools may be
closed at once, although definite
action on this phase of the situation
has not been taken,
Fuada Needed at Once.
. Robert Cowell declared that It la crimi
nal for the members of the school board
and parents to allow children to attend
the Bancroft and Park schools under
conditions as described, "If bonds are not
carried at an early date," he said. "I
would be willing to go out and raise
funds for the erection of new buildings
tor these two schools."
It waa the opinion of ITrank H. Wood
land that a definite building program
should be formulated at once and a bond
Isaue submitted at the forthcoming city
election on May 4. .,
It was Dr. D. E. Jenkins, -who started
the 'fireworks when ha reported congested
conditions he found during s visit to sav-
cral other schools. He said that In ten
rooms which should accommodate about
forty pupils each, he noticed from forty
to seventy pupils. "The tremendous need
of our schools today is more room for
the chlMreu, rather than frills and tads.
Lothrop is badly, overcrowded. At
Saratoga the halls are being used as
school rooms. The; Port school for boys
should be moved to the present Saratoga
school; Now is the time to face what I
believe is a substantial need of more
room." Dr. Jenkins was accorded hearty
npplause, something unusual at a school
board meeting.
Dr. Holovtchlner ' ventured the opinion
that the people will gladly vote bonds at
this time if the situation Is clearly and
forcible presented to them.
