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

“My Husband's Love” j
Mother Bra ham Derided Who Should
(irt the Children.
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

"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

"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. I wouldn’t !
want you to stay here, when those !
poor babies need you so terribly. You j
pet ready and get that train. There
are plenty of people here to take
(•are of me. 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.
