For tome lessDn the clubs of Denver
ate among the most progressive and
vigorous in the country. The reason
tony be lecime the women there have
obtained suffrage ard take more inte.c-t
in puLlic matters. The Denver Woman'o
club bts been, and is, a power, in the
city. Us improvt ment socitty or league
has made itse'f felt in the cleansing of
the city and the club has had an im
portant influence in municipal politics.
In fact the club is to amateur affair
where women rarot and Lo'd a mutual
rdmiration eociety, but is a stiong, vig
orous (oce is almost tempted to eay
manl)club.
The educational department cf the
club has arranged its program for next
yeBr, althrush tho eBtayistB have not
et all sigiiisfi 'd their tcjepUnce. Ap
pended in the plan:
O.-tober 9, ''New Features in Chicago
and IndianapoliB Schools and New
Methods in Some Studie?."
Octber 11, "Progress in Child
Study; (a) -11 o Ungraded School;' (b)
"1 hs Imagination of Children."
December fl, "Does t e Higher Edu
cate n Fit Men and Women for P.asti
calLif.r
January 8, "Suggestions;" (a) "Mod
ern Ctuue-;'" lb) "Gymnittice for
G rl-; (c) "So ue Social Customs.''
Febiuraty 12, "Are ConlitionB of Ease
or Struggle tha be it School for the
Chil 1?
JUrcb 12, "The Stite Institutions for
Depetdent;" (a) "Industrial Education
in Our Stata Institutions." A commit
tee will be appointed the first of the
j ear, who will visit thos stati in-titu-tionB
which are accessible to Denver
ejstematically, and their reports will
form an interesting feature or this meet
ing. April 9, miscellaneous.
May 7, buEiness meeting.
As far as pofsb'e this jcirnorend
iog of papers will be allowed in this de
paitment, all subjec's being treat.'d in
the form cr talks instead. No paper
will be 'more than twenty minuted in
length, and many will occupy only ten
or fifteen minutes. The department in
tend to have a distinctly social 3 ear, in
wbith each one of the sixty members
w'.ll become acquam'ei with bll the
other?. This is considered indispensa
ble to good work eoge her, and it can be
accomtlisbed only by opportunities for
social intercourse. The committee for
visiting the state institutions will be a.
new departure. Mrs. John R. Ilanna,
the chairman, has a theory that this is
an eminen ly proper and womanly field
for the women's clubs to oc;upy all over
the country. She believes that if the
women's c'ubs of the land would take a
cont nuo is iottr.st aud keep a system
atic ovtrtiht of the public institutions,
that no 6ucb awful EcaLdals would be
unearthed ai came to light in a Georgia
insane asylum the ether day.for instance
when it was discovered that inmates had
been beaten to death. She thinks there
is no more pressing duty fr wjmin to
perform outside the'r own homes, thin
to take a wise i n3 motherly icterett in
the unfortunate wards of tue stale.
The executive committee of the par
liamentary auxiliary of the Denver Wo-1
man s club will conduct a class in pre
siding during the suinnnr. This cless
will most every Monday morning at 10
o'clock in tho armory on Glenirm street.
There is no lesson aligned and no study
is required. The object of ths c'ats is to
a-qu re skill in pretiJing. The mem
bers take turns in acting as chairman
Anjone may attend this class, but those
who wish to preside must hand their
names to one of tho executive commit
tee, i
The tone of the editor of the Tl'owiaii's
Weekly to the cljbs of the state is bet
appreciated by the following clipped
ficm the Weekly of June 10:
The Li r coin Woman's club has not in
1 he paft had many reports of its tneet
ii gs in the Weekly, except those ar
iacged by William Reed Duntoy. The
club has not seen fit to send tha reports,
and whi'e wo might have taken thm
frf m other papers as our contemporaries
do, we have not done bo and shall not in
the future. If a club does not care to
send its repoit. we are sorry, but life is
1o- shTt to really stop to wonder why.
We hope next jear our sister in Lincoln
ui'l be more sociable. If the club does
not see fit to extend any courtesies to
the editor, personally, when she is in
their city, it should at least send the
news to the official organ, or it may be
misjudgJ.
