Plattsmouth made a few suggestions
touching art in tbe public schools. Mre.
Helen Harrison of York, Nebraska, re
lated the story of the organization and
growth of the town and county club in
York. Mrs. Harrison is the president
ot the club and her report was breezy
and sympathetic. The real object of all
club life k sociability and unity. So far
the country has not shared much in the
movement The experiment at York
has been successful in uniting town and
county. Every community contains the
type of woman represented with such
perfection in Mrs. Harrison. Somebody,
at once brave, hopeful, full of tact and
willing to spend .herself fo: others, con
tent if the end be reached. Such a club
should be started in every town in Ne
braska by women who have reflected
nual address which was remarkable for
its spiritual uplift. The Cockier
hopes to print this address soon. After
an address on Rest Rooms in Market

Mrs. D. A. Campbell and Mies Maude
Oakley then sung Chaminade's AngelUB
so melodiously that the audience insist
ed upon an encore. Miss Hollowbush
played a most sympathetic and carefully
shaded accompaniment. Dean Wilson
ot the University of Nebraska spoke on
university extension and explained how
the university would come to the people
when the people could not come to tbe
university. Mrs. Campbell sung again
sweetly and powerfully An Rendi Me by
Rasse. The state chairman of corres
pondence. Mrs. A. C. Ricketts, reported
the Denver Biennial. Then occurred
the election of officers, the result of
which was published in last week's
Cociuee. Mrs. Langwortby, the new
president, is a woman widely known and
liked in the state. Her efficiency and
activity have been tried and great satis
faction was felt and expressed at the re
sult. There were many who expressed
a wish that Mrs. Stoutenborough might
serve the club again but she emphatic
ally declined. Mrs. Stoutenborough has
the gift of inspiration. Her speech and
her presence is stimulating. The ojgan
izers of many clubs in the state acknow
ledge this peculiar gift of the late presi
dent and evidence of it exists In last

the number of new clubs recoided.
