She opened the subject with the kindergaten, the nursery phase of the school. Kindergartning was real good mothering and that was all there was to it. She advocated a domestic phase of education in tho introduction of cookicg and sewing into the schools. This had been done in Philadelphia. "Art in the Home, tho School and tho Community'' was the subject of a prac tical paper read by Mrs. Herman Hall or Chicago, the founder of the Central Art association of that city. At its close Mrs. Thomas Keiley sang Goring Thomas "Summer Night " Her beau tiful voice and artistic rendition gave a new charm to the familiar song. Mrs. KateThannett Woods, of Salim, Mass., was announced to speah on "Club Courtesies,'' but her trunk containing the manuscript, had not arrived. She gracefully declared the paper a super fluity since Omaha, in tho courtesies ex tended, had shown a full knowledge of the subject. Mrs. Woods' informal words were most pleasing. The Lorelei quartet sang "Stay With Me" by Lob, and then Mrs. Ellen A. Richardson of Boston, closed the pro gram with an exhaustive paper on "Ihe Keystone of the Educational Arch.' A large number of the members of the Deborah Avery chapter of the D. A. R. attended the banquet given at Oma ha by the Nebraska Sons and Daughters of tho Revolution on Friday evening in commemoration of the twenty-second anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill. More than one hundred persons, tracinc their ancestry direct to 6ome combatant in the revolution, were seat ed at the tables. The dining room of tho Paxton was handsomely decorated with American flags and potted plants and an orchestra played national airs during the banquet. The menu cards bore handsome engravings of the battle of Bunker hill and General Washington and beneath the courses on the bill were appropriate quotations taken mostly from Jho sajings of revolutionary he- TOGS Hon. L. D. Richards of Fremont acted as toastm aster. 'The Men Behicd the Rail Fence," meaning the little party of men who de fended their comrades retreat at Bunker Hill, was replied to by Edmund M. Bartlett of Omaha. Mrs. Elizabeth H. Lowrie of Omaha spoke on "The Women of TO Their Spirit Still Lives." "The names of the heroines who stayed at homo and fur nished the supplies for the troops havo not been written it history as have those of the heroes who went into the field," said Mrs. lowrie, "but they were the inspiration of all the great victories won and it was they who made tho war possible. And in our present crisis it will be found that the spirit of the women has been inherited by the women of 1898, who will rise to meet any emer gency they may be called upon to face." "Our Former Oppocents" was the subject treated by Fred W. Vaughn of Fremont. Mr. Vaughn said that 100 years was IoDg enough to husband an injury and that the United States is now in a position to accept the right hand of fellowship which England has extended. "The Minute Men," was the sentiment Mrs. Elizabeth C. Langworthy of Sew ard responded to. After eulogizing tho heroic minute men Mrs. Langworthy expressed the belief that just such he roes live today as was shown by the haste with which 100,000 men answered the president's call for troops. "Our Two Talents," in the opinion of William IT. Alexander of Omaha are liberty and union. We havo not al lowed them to remain in the dark, but have made good use of them, and as a result havo produced tho grandest na tion the world has ever known. In speaking on "Anniversaries, 1776 1803," Mrs. Winona S. Sawyer of Lin coin, contrasted the two years, each being a time of war. The righteo'isness of the war of the revolution is beyond dispute. In the present crisis it is to be hoped that Columbia did not put to her lips the cup of war for the sake of con quest; if so, it will prove like Circe's en. chanted cup. But the momentous crisis of thepiesent is not the trouble with Spain but a waiting for a virtuous citi zenship. The United States is not in need of territory, but it is in need of in dividual character building. John R. Webster of Omaba, president of the Nebraska Sons of the Resolution, spoke on "The Unexpected Always Hap pens," and after a brief review of the battle of Bunker Hill, introduced George D. Hale, president of the Kansas Sons of the Revolution, who made a short plea for the protection of the American flag from all abuses. Before leaving the entire company rose and sang "America." The Nebraska Sons and Daughters met together for the fir t time last week. All over the country there seems to be a growing desire to have some bond of union between the two organizations. Tne Daughters here have acquired such enthusiasm that the Sons cannot fail to feel its stimulating effects, and as tho object'of both organizations is identical, some co-operation would seem appropri ate.
