says the time must come when teachers
will feel that it was a misled curiosity
whiesi made them expect pedagogical
help from their own psychological ex

If this is what you want come and see us. If you

rendered a vocal solo. Mrs. Love con
ducted a discussion that profitably con
sumed forty minuteeon the Infant mind,

topics: Origin of the will. Intellect
without language and Language with
out intellect. Development ot self con

Mrs. William E. Morgan, of Greeley
Neb., reports: Although we are a little
off the lice herein Greeley as to railroad
facilities we are keeping up with the
procession in club work. We are at
present studying Hamlet and doing our
best to follow Theman's lines ot thought
in that direction. Sometimes he gets a
little too abstruse and metaphysical for
our every dar nineteenth century intel
lects, but we follow on and enjoy the re
search into metaphysical regions of
thought.
We acknowledge the receipt of tea
books from the librarian of the federa
tion which will undoubtedly prove very
helpful to our club. We also lake
Book Reviews in addition to Shaks
pere. Our club' is progressing and we
shall undoubtediy decide to make The
Courier our club paper, as we find
therein so many helpful suggestions.
Mrs. Grimison ot Schuyler, reports
The regular meeting of the Woman'a
club was held at the residence of Mn.
G.H. Wells Wednesday afternoon, Jan
uary 2nd. There was quite a spirited
discussion over the question : "Resolved
that Jeffe'rsan exerted a more powerful
influence over the affain of the nation
than John Adams."
On the evsning-of the same day a re
ception was held at the residence or Mr. '
and Mrs. J. A. Grimicon in commemora
tion of the second anniversary of the or
ganization of the club, the husbands of
the membere having been invited to par
ticipate. The hostess was assisted by
Mesdames G. F. Burkett, G. H. Wella
and C. J. Phelps. A new kind of amuse
ment was tried with success. Each
guest being provided with a dainty card
and pencil attached, bearing on the title
psgethe quotation:
Oh that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me,
was requested to write an original rhyme,
pun or conundrum, after which they
were taken up and redistributed and
the results read aloud. Some were
beautiful expressions or thought, more
rediculous and nonsensical, yet it fur
nished a great deal of fun. Piano solos
were given during the evening by Misses
Margaret Grimison, Clara! Wells and
Louise Phelps. Delicate refreshmentB
were served and a most enjoyable eve
ning was spent. Had the ladies permit
ted it, the gentlemen, with one accord
would have tendered their names for
memberehin in the club, sioiply for the
privilege of enjoying such an evening
annually with the members or the
Scnuyler Woman's Club.
