The Ethical Culture club of Butte,
Montana is made up entirely of women,
who are breadwinners, any woman in the
business or professional world of Butte
being eligible to membership.
The club has three departments, one
devoted to mental training, one to physi
cal training, one to morals and manners.
Each member is working earnestly to
obtain a wider knowledge of all things
pertaining to right living and an under
standing of the finer things existing, the
conditions and environment In which
each lives.
The club was organized by a few work
ing women for the purpose of making a
center for those who desired to climb
toward a higher standard of living by a
better understanding of the morals and
manners of the world.
There are many delightful conditions
existing in the club and each member
is made to feel that she is a necessary
part of the 'work therein. The feeling of
sympathy, of harmony, of mutual help
fulness that everywhere prevails In the
club makes it a little haven, and its in
fluence on the character seems full of
power, of hope and moral strength. Dur
ing the time since the club was organized
many of the members have married, and
without exception each one has ex
pressed herself as entering upon her new
duties with a better understanding of the
small and great things of life than could
have been hers had she not been a mem
ber of the club.
The Social Economics club of Chicago
will devote the next two years to the
