While today Omaha may not rival the cul
ture of older cities of the east , yet there Is
no inconsiderable movement among its citi
zens toward self-improvement , as is shown
by the gradual growth of Its various clubs and
classes , both as regards numbers , members ,
scope and thoroughness of the work Mtider-
takcn.
An earnest little band of ladles gathers
every Saturday morning at the home
of Mrs , W. W. Keysor , on Hrlstol
street. Tor several years this class
has met to study English literature under
the guidance of Mrs. Keysor , whose long con
nection with the Omaha High school had
proven her strength and earnestness in this
Held of , work. This year this class has
t.iitcn a , 'step In a new direction and is
giving is attention to the study of the his
tory of art.
Aside from the text book used much re
ference reading is accomplished by the
class. This branch of study , considered so
essential in all collegiate courses , is especi
ally practical at this time when every one
deslres-a better comprehension of art that
the wonders of the Columbian exhibit maybe
bo moro appreciated. The following are
members of HT class : Miss Evelcth , Miss
Hobbs , Mfs ! Drolllur , Miss Fair , Miss
Vincent , A rs. Ljnum , Mrs. Dr. Allen , Mrs.
Woodward.
One of various channels by which Dr.
Puryca is endeavoring to lift humanity to a
higher piano and a broader light is the
leadership of a literary class for ladies.
The lirst winter of its organisation "Tho
Club" gave its attention to tin1 study of
Wordsworth , as made apparent in the Pro-
loguoof the "Excursion. " The twosuececdlng
seasons were given up to the consideration
of Robert Ill-owning and several of his
poems. This season Cicutvo Eliot is under
consideration through the study of her
"Homola. " '
This master piece is studied In the most
careful and painstaking manner. All the
hide lights of history , literature and art are
brought to bear upon it. Much time has
been given to the history of the Renaissance
In Italy and its parallel history in other
countries. About thegrcat teacher Savonarola
clusters the peculiar social and political
circumstances encountered by the disciples
of Christianity at that period , circum
stances and conditions that later ripened
into the Reformation. The elements that
mark the excellence of a work of fiction are
not 'neglected : careful attention is given to
the delineation of character and the institu
tions and customs of the age and nationality.
Dr. Duryca gives nmt : conscientious atten
tion to this work. Its membership is
limited to thirty ladies , who meet Monday
evenings.
One of the most earnest and hard working
literary organisations in the city is known as
the. Clcofan club. Some four years ago
this club had Its modest beginning when
three or four ladies met with Mrs.V. .
Ilanchctt for the purpose of reviewing Eng
lish history Today the Clcofan consists
of two chapters , about sixty members
It enjoys a dual organization , be
ing at once a club and a class.
The members of Chapter I , frequently
known in distinction to Chapter II as the
'imarricd ladles Clcofan , " holds Its meetings
at the Paxton .cafe on Wednesday mornings.
Its organization and membership is as fol
lows :
Mrs. nirlinghn , Mrs. Lewis Uradford ,
Mrs. Caldwell , Mrs , Colpctzer , .Miss Crgzor ,
Miss Doolittlo. Mrs , Fleming , Mrs. Greene ,
Alra. .7. G. Halnes , Mrs. Hanchctt , Mrs.

petzer ; members ; Mrs. W. F. Allen , Miss
Uoudlnot , Mrs. Powell , Mrs , Rlsdon , Mrs.
Simpson , Miss Stull , Mrs. M. E. Smith.
Chapter II , the moro nymcrous division , Is
made up of women employed during the
day and holds its meetings on Tuesday even
ings at the Paxton. The class work of the
two chapters has , xintil the present year ,
been Identical , with Mrs. Hancbott as leader ,
or perhaps moro properly teacher. After
two years had been given to the study of
English history It was decided last year to
begin the study of the history of the French.
A most enjoyable year's work was spent last
season having readied the period of the oc
cupancy of the French throne by Louis XIII ;
this year the work is practically the study
of that greatest of political and social up
heavals the French revolution.
In tbo bands of the class Miguels French
Revolution serves as a text book , The par
allel readings , extensive as they are , are
conscientiously followed out by the best stn-
dmits of the club.
The history study at which tbo Clefan
dim is wide reading , carefully prepared
papers and ready discussion , and they ought
certainly to make progress.
The work Is primarily , yet not exclusively ,
history. Tlio study of Shakespeare's "Mac-
beths" and "Lonr" was accomplished last
year.
At present Chapter II is at work on Henry
VII , while members of Chapter 1 are devot
ing themselves to current topics as a second
theme.
Mrs. Hancbett is a vigorous student and has
rare strength as a teacher. She never fails
to Inluso her own earnestness and enthus
iasm into those who enter her classes.

, ' "There are people meeting with physii-al ,
ftmtnclal and moral shipwreck every day in
tlio year , because they don't know "where to
draw the line. " Their mental vision has be
come Impaired from some cause. The lines
which form the picture of life in their mind's
c vo are not true , and , as a consequence , the
tlio ehiaro oscuro of human activity to them
Is a miserable conglomeration of light and
shade. The outlines are blurrcel and the
perspective is a Jumble of inconsistencies.
An important and interesting part of the
Omaha public school education consists of
teaching the pupils how and where to draw
Hues. This is included in the course
which the pupils are permitted to take in
drawing , and U extends from the llrst year
In the graded schools all tlio way through to
the last year In the high school.
Through the kindness of Miss Ethel Krans ,
teacher of drawing , and Miss McShean ,
principal of the Lonf school , a representa
tive of Tin : HER was permitted to observe
the work done in drawing in the graded
school classes last Thursday forenoon at the
Long school. The Ixing school wau selected
because It bus the reputation of being one of
the best schools in the city in point of dis
cipline as well as In the earnestness and
thoroughness of the class work.
The lirst mom visited was that of the First
grade , , where little tots only four or flvo
months Initiated Into the mysteries of school
life were seated and were attentively listen
ing to something their teacher was .saying.
The lesson In drawing was at once taken up.
, It was evident that the children enjoyed this
part of their dally school work. They went
about it in a way that could not ht ) misunder
stood. On tbo front row of scaU sat what
nre called the "little monitors. " To each
of these the teacher gave enough sheets of
mper for all the pupils In their tier of neatx ,
mil these "little monitors' ' distributed them
In a manner quite beyond criticism. The
entire class was then directed to place the
MieeU of paper on their desks before them ,
lake their pencils In their right hands with
lop inclining towattl the right so as to leayo
the twltit of the pencil in full view and pro-
itare to bisect the sheets of paper. The lit
tle folks llrst made a dot at the ton of the
sheet and one at the Ixittom as near the
middle as their eyes and Judgment could tic-
lermlne and then they drew the line from
top to bottom , dividing tlio sheet into two
parts , which they had endeavored to make
jierfeetly equal.
Some of tlie pupils , although mere babies
In sl/e , were remarkably aevurato In draw
ing these their llrst lines , and one would
have required the assistance of a measuring
rule to have determined whether or not the
lines were drawn exactly across tlio middle
of the paper. Others were not so accurately
drawn , but as a whole the work was very
clever for Infants. They were next re-
lurstrMl to trisect thehvptcccs of paper by
( rawing two lines from top to bottom across
the page. ' 1 IIJH they did with as much neat
ness and accuracy as the former task , and
then they made circles and executed several
other nsks that helped to train the eye and
the muscles to obey the will.
"What is this ! " asked the teacher , holdimr
up a small cylinder.
"That's a cylinder. " was the prompt reply
from half a score of throats.
"Robert , J on describe n cylinder , " contin-
tie'd the * teacher , calling upon a bright little
fellow In the second row from the front.
"A Under . has two Hat faces and a curved
circus. " Milel the youthful admirer of Har-
nunfK-grcatest show on earth. His error in
the use of the word circus for surface was
[ ilcasantly corrected and the lesson pro
ceeded. Individual members of the e-lass
described the cylinder , the cube , the sphere
ind various other objects employed In teach
ing drawing.
In the second grade the pupils are given
work in clay , and this proves to be a source
of much improvement in their youthful pow
ers of designing and construction. Here the
class engaged in drawing verticlo and hori
zontal lines , as the teacher counted. Some
of the children were exceptionally skillful in
this work , showing remarkable steadiness
of nerve and accuracy of v'slon.
In the third grade the class had outline
work and descriptions of cubes , pyramids ,
lillnlhs and other objects employed in this
Icpartment of Instruction. They also did
some line work In original and copied de
signs. The llrst real le-ssons in perspective
come In the llfth grade , where the pupils
discuss with the teacher the principles of
foreshortening and the true theory of draw
ing on a flat surface" so that the lines will
lirlng out perspective effects. They begin to
| iut into actual practice the theoretical les
sons they have learned by freehand drawing
if objectsM't before them. Hooks.pitchers and
blocks are employed in this work. Here the
pupils engage in the interesting work of tak
ing the proportion of dimensions by holding
their pencils at arm's length between them
: ind the object they are drawing ami measur
ing the length of the different sides on the
pencil by closing one eye and then transfer
ring this to the paper before them. They
secure the angles made by the various lines
by taking pieces of stiff paper and holding
them up in the same position , bringing them
into a line with their vision and the object
they arc attempting to draw , shifting them
about until they form exactly the same angle
as the sides of the object which they are de
sirous of reproducing upon the paper.
Theobjects are placed on the front row of
seats for those In front , and in the aisles for
those who sit toward tlio back of the room.
Each pupil obtains a different view of the
object to be drawn , and must , therefore , de
pend upon himself for the accuracy of his
work. Much of the work seen in this room
was of a very meritorious order.
In the seventh and eighth grades the
class had group work , and tills not only in
outline , but in light and shade , working in
the shadow cast by the various objects upon
tlio table where the group sat.
A contemplation of this work in the graded
schools by .voting boys and girls scarcely
entering their teens shows remarkable pro
gress. Most of the work done now in the
seventh and eighth grades is far ahead of
that done hi the high schools of tenor llfteen
yearaago.
In the High school the study of drawing is
optional and only a portion of the pupils
continue the work to the end , but those
who wish KI take it may continue
through the entire four years course.
There is a feeling among some of the
educators , and it is tlio opinion
of Miss Evans , the drawing teacher , that
the study of drawing ought to bo made com
pulsory for at least two years in tlio High
school instead of being optional all the way
through. The plan of leaving it optional
not only deprives some of a complete course
in drawing , through their own in
difference and carelessness , but it
causes great irregularity in the
e-lasses. Some will take it one year ,
others two and some three , while only a few
follow the study during tlio entire four years.
Those who do take the entire course come
through with a thorough knowledge of the
art and with a degree of skill highly com
plimentary to themselves , their teachers and
the school system of this enterprising and
progressive city.

The long continued rolil weather naturally
causes charitably inclined people to think of
the poor , who perforce live In shanties with
a scant supply ot fuel and clothing , and
sometimes not enouirh to eat. As a rule the
greatest suffering falls upon the defenseless
heads of women and children , which fact
touches the hearts of sympathetic people ,
who would not trouble themselves about
men who are often responsible for their own
condition and that of sheir families.
There Is no city , even in this favored
country , that has not its poor , improvident
or otherwise , and South Omaha varies from
the rule only in a decree.
A reporter for Tin : I ) r.r. made the rounds
of the elty yesterday for the purpose of as
certaining whether suffering existed an eng
the less fortunate to an extent worthy of
public mention , and was agreeably surprised
to lind that within the limits of the city but
very few families actually need assistance.
There is probably not over a do/.cn families in
the city , worthy and unworthy , who are not
able to take care of themselves and keep
the wolf from the door by their own efforts.
Among the charit.ible organizations doing
active work In the city the King's Daughters
is worthy of special mention. A reporter
called on the secretary of the organ

The society meets every two weeks , on
Thursday afternoon at the residence of some
one of the members , and the practical work
is done through various committees.
Naturally , at this time of the year , the
committee on charities has the most im
portant work to look after. This committee
Is aided by the entire membership , eaeli in
dividual acting as a committee of one to
ferret out the needy and report same at
once , if necessary , or at the next meeting.
When cases of destitution are reported at a
meeting , a special committee is named ,
whose duty it is to investigate at once and
supply whatever is needed. The ladies ap
peal to ministers of all the churches and to
the public generally for Information as to
the condition of the unfortunate , and .in this
way but few , if any , cases escape tlreir < it-
tentlon. There is always money in itho
treasury , and supplies of clothing and pro
visions constantly on hand. Members re
quest THE Bci : to state that they will take
it as a special favor if any one knowing of
needy persons will kindly inform any one of
their number.
It was reported some time ago that Mrs.
Watts , the lady whoso husband deserted her ,
was in a destitute condition. The King's
Daughters visited her at once and found her
nicely situated , with three boarders.
A destitute family was also reported in the
Mack block , which proved untrue , as the
ladies visited every family in the block and
adjoining bouses and found no one needing
assistance.
The Third Ward school , presided over by
Misses Hartman , O'Toolo and Littel , did a
graceful act of charity during the holidays ,
for which the King's Daughters desire to
thank the school. Each pupil , presumably
under the direction of the teachers , brought
an offering to the school , which aggregated
3.85 in money , several bushels of j > otatoes ,
sacks of ilour , kindling wood , clothing , coal ,
etc. , to the extent of a wagon load and turned
it over to the society. It is needless to say
it has made more than one poor family
happy.
In many cases the ladies buy now shoes
for barefooted children and coal to keep
them from freezing. While the per centago
of extremely poor people is very small in
deed in this city , no city of 15,000 people can
exist without the need of charitably inclined
people. The next meeting of the King's
Daughters will bo held at the residence of .
