Illiterates 'traced by Club Women; Mortgage Burned Of the 4,000 Illiterates estimated to be in Douglas county 2,700 already have been located by the Omaha Woman's' club anil various educational instiutions, according to the report made by Mrs. F. II. Cole, chairman of the education committee of the Woman's club, yesterday afternoon at an open meeting in the Burgess-Nash auditorium. The Investigation lias Just begun, saiif Mrs. Cole. Twenty thousand questionnaires, prepared by Mrs. Cole under Hie guidance of the University of Omaha department of sociology, were dis tributed through the public schools of the city. With the questionnaires were cards on which the children were asked to write the names, addresses and certain other information about any person over 16. who are unable to read and write in English, so that they might be given an opportunity to learn. The response has been a deluge of names, which have been tabu lated and arranged by the teachers and returned to members of Mrs. Cole’s committee. Not all the names are in the hands of the committee. One school district reported 255 unable to write English. Of these. 159 were white women. 80 white men, six negro women and nine negro men. Mortgage Is tlunipd. The final mortgage on the property at 623-25 South Seventeenth street, bought by the club for the erection of a clubhouse, was burned at the business meeting which preceded the program. Announcement was mad? that the last debt on the property, *500, was paid. Mrs. Bertha Allen "held ’ the canceled mortgage, while Mrs. C. L. Hempel. chairman of the clubhouse committee, touched it into flame with a match, amid long con tinued applause. The first mortgage of $5,000 was paid a week before, but as it Had 4>een publicly registered, it was not burned. A committee was named to recom mend to the municipal water board use of the lime and soda method of softening city water. This action fol lowed a paper by Mrs. W. K. Shafer recommending the method and claim ing that it would more than pay for itself in the cost of the soap saved, besides the saving in cloth fabrics, steam pipes and boilers, and kitchen utensils, all of which suffer from bard water. The committee consists of Mrs. Shaler, Mrs. R. W. Shepherd, and Mrs. Philip Potter. School Forum Program. The program was turned over by Mrs. Cole leader, to members of the Omaha School Forum Mrs. McDonald, president of the forum, presided. Miss Marie Matthews, head of the Cass continuation school, described the work of the continuation school for children between 14 and 16, who are forced by family circumstances to work, but required by law to attend school at least part of the time. Chil dren In the continuation school work 40 hours a week, and attend school for 8 hours. Most of them, said Miss Matthews, show no more burning de sire for schooling than the average youngster of their age, and would not begin unless required. The aim of the continuation school is to make their classes so Interesting and valu able that they will go on Into night school when they are 16 and able to work full time. Co-operation with em ployers has met with considerable success. Discuss Special t asm. "Work for the Atypical Child” was discussed by Miss Durkee. who has charge of this specialty In the Omaha schools. Each child in her rooms, she explained, presents a special problem and has to be treated as an entirely separate case People are often surprised to see the large num ber of pretty, sweet, lively children who appear In her rooms. Miss Durkee discussed the story of one very pretty brown-eyed girl of 10. who had been unable to learn to read or write. Examination proved that she had a defect of memory which mads it quite Impossible to remember the shape of objects. Having studied a letter, she could not recognize it, when it was shown her after an in terval After patient training. Miss Durkee developed the child s motor tense so that now she can write fairly well, hut she still has the greatest difficult in reading Miss Mary Austin, principal of the Bancroft school, set foith the achieve ments and services of the Omaha School Forum in the five years of its existence Social Worker From Boston Announced Miss Telen W.

The women of our oldest division Of feminine life, those who now are in their seventies and upward, possess a fortitude under grief and pain which, in proportion to their physical weak ness, puts all the rest of us to the blush. I always dimly have recog nized this, hut I never realized it so fully as I did in the minutes that fol lowed the return to constjiousness of my frail and aged mother-in-law after her swoon. Under Dr. Pettit’s direction, Har riet, Lillian and I had worked fran tically over her, while Katie and Mrs. Ticer ran our errands, and Marion kept Junior i*'cupied and happy out of-doors. Harriet’s face was set in carven lines of anguish and I knew that one query was insistent within her. Had the news of Elizabeth's death been too much for the over strained heart of her mother? Was she to lose both sister and mother In this awful hour? But finally my mother-ln-lawy’s eyelids fluttered apd opened, and when she had lain in absolute quiet for a few seconds, with her eyes pa thetically searching our faces, she raised her hand with a feehle but Im perative gesture. "Doctor," she said, patently using no unnecessary word, that shs might conserve her labored breath. Thinking of the Children. "night here," the physician sn swered, slipping his arm under her shoulders and raising her ever so slightly. "Take this, please." But she turned her lips away from the spoon he held to her mouth. "I want—those—double strength." site said feebly, but with firmness. "Yes, I made thorn that way,” Dr. Pettit replied, with a prompt men dacity which I did not expect from him. She put her lips to the spoon obe diently and took the portion he had prepared, then lay back upon her pil low with closed eyes for several min utes, while the physician watched her closely, and Harriet beckoned me r S Misses’ Distinctive Wraps, Dresses, Skirts and Sweaters WINTER CLEARANCE 1^ 1811 Finns ^ if!de and put her lip? close to mv ear f mustn t leave her.' ?he said! "Could you co to those poor chi! dren?” "Harriet! Margaret!" The words, tremulous, " et peremptory, brought us hurriedly to her bedside. "Stop that whispering and worrying about me. ' 'I'm ashamed to have fainted but I'm all i' glit now. We ran cry afterward"—a spasm of pain con torted her fine old features, but was cone almost as it came—"but we've something else to do now. Now, 1R me see if I have this straight. There was an accident you say—and— Elizabeth—is—gone," the old voice quavered for an Instant, and I choked back a sob of which I was ashamed in the face of her bravery. “What did you say about William'.’" “He is mortally Injured mother.” Harriet said pitifully, "and lie can not live more than a day or two.” The Children Unhurt. "Were the children hurt?" The questions came faster now, as the drops Dr. Pettit had given her sent fictitious strength through her veins. "No, they were not in the car.’’ "Where are they?” "At a neighbor’s. They have not been told yet.’’ “Then what are you doing here?” She turned fiercely upon her daugh ter. "Somebody must go down there at once and bring those poor babies Up 3r»n poor llllam fore he goes Is he conscious’ "Ye* and ha* asked for some of Elizabeth * reople to come." Mar riet repeated the message as I had heard It from her husband. "Edwin . is going tn take the first train down 1 there. It goes late this afternoon.' "Can't you catch it'.'" Harriet looked dubiously at Hr 1 Pettit and me. "Yes, but mother—t don't—" “I'm not going to die while you're gone," iter mother interrupted, reso lutely, "and if 1 were.

There is nobody who knows just what to do for me the way Margaret does. I shall be all right." She held out her hand to me with a little smile, far more pitiful than tears, and as I pressed it close, I felt like giving a reverential saline to the frail old figure bo gallantly conquering Illness and heartbreak be eauseof the duty which confronted her.
