After the address (which was the ablest of lb.9 convention) Friday evening the ladies of the cleb tendered her an informal re ception at Hotel Perkins at which she gave them a very pleasing ami helpful talk. She believes in an extended and broad work for club woni9n. And her talk inspired Ingleside to undertake the supervision of a junior club for girl?, open to any and all who desire the cul tivation of club work. This altruistic movement of the David City Ingleside is worthy the at tention of other Nebraska clubs and we would like to hear of its success. Cluk Editor. On Friday the Patrons association met at the Capital school. Mre. I. N. Baker read an exceedingly pretty essay on "How Best to Cultivate Truth in Children," which was followed by a lively discussion. This was termi nated by the arrival of Prof Sayior, who gave an interesting and timely talk. He showed that tieee patrons' associations are the logical outcome of the sociologi cal conditions. The commercial pres sure brought to bear on the young men, and the greater competition in all lines, naturally raised the educational stand ard. This upward tendency the moth ers dimly feel, without realizing the ex a:t nature, hence their active interest in the education of their children. The name of these school organiza tions at first was "Mothers' Meetings,' but has been altered that no father may feel himself excluded from attendance. The Matinee Musicale will give a sacred concert of organ, oratorio and string numbers on Monday afternoon at four o'clock in the First Presbyterian church. Non-members of the club will be charged an admission fee of ten cents. The program is as follows: Organ Solo Miss Givens. "With Verdure Clad"(crealion) Haydn Mrs. Mark Woods. Violin Obligato Miss Silence Dale?. Harp Solo Mrs. Joseph Wurzburg. Sacred Air from Rebekah Barnaby Mrs. D. A.Campbell. Nuptiale Marche Guilment Miss Stella Rice. "Come, Ever Smiling Liberty" (Ju das Maccabaeus) Handel Mrs. R. A. Holyoke. String Quartet Haydn Miss Silence Dal as, Miss Iua Ensign, Mr. Chas. Hagenow, Miss Eiche. Trio-"I Waited for the Lord"' ( Hymn of Praise) Mendelssohn Mrs, R. A. Holjoke, Mrs. D. A. Campbell, Miss Ryno!d9. Accompanist, Mrs. P. V. M. Raymond. The Lincoln Sorosis met on Tuesday with Mrs. Munger. Owing to the ab sence of Mrp. Atkinson, her excellent paper on Washington's Administra tions" was read by Miss Irwin. It was a source of regret that a number of the members misted the opportunity of hearing the results of Mrs. Atkinson's careful study of that topic. The next meeting of Sorosis, March 29th, will be held at the university in Nebraska hall. Mrs. E. H. Barbour will present the "Water Problem in Ne braska,' profusely illustrated by lantern slides. The outline follows: Surface and subteiranean action of circulating water mountains, valleys, canons, water-falls, gla ciers, caves, geysers. Irrigation in Europe and this country: Legal problems. The arid West. Soil of Nebraska, its composition and fertility. How water is held in the soil Gravitation water. Capillary water, Hygno3copic water. Nebraska's water supply Rivers and underflow, ground water, wells, artesian wells and springs, bait, and blowirg wells.
