The child's department of the Woman’s Club of Knoxville, Tenn., is represented by Miss T. B.

There is one Ione, lorn man, who exer- cises the privilege so long the prerogative of women, and wears his hat in meeting. It is wide of brim and dusty gray in color, and by the same token he is a “Friend.” Among the many women of many minds, but most of them very strong ones, is Dr. Ella Jennings, president and delegate from the New Era Motherhood Club of New York city, a club founded, she says, “on the twentieth century appreciation of motherhood and ‘the loss of health in heredity.” Dr. Jennings has ideas; heaps of them. She believes in heredity with a big. “E in fact, she would spell the word with small caps. She has made a deep study of it, and came to do so in an odd way. She was for many years associate cditor of the Michigan Farmer, a stock paper, published in Detroit. She got in- terested in the subject of heredity as bred for certain qualities in stock, and {t led her to study the same thing in the human ani- mal, with the result of clinching her be- licf in the necessity of careful selection, if the perpetuation of the race is to be made hixh type that the Creator designed. Dr. Jennings has a scheme—it is simply remarkable, all the schemes that these de- voted w nm are carrying round in their hearts—a scheme of national importance, so Dr. Jennings thinks. It ts for the found- ing of a National School of Health and 1t sounds very geod, and lots of dies thmk it would be “just the achusetts is going to be right at the head of the procession.

Yesterday afternoon there was another large crowd in attendance upon the session of the congress, and a number of papers that were extremely valuable in the sug- gestions they made to mothers were read and attentively listened to. The first speaker of the afternoon was Miss Fran ewton of Chicago, who actively connected with kindergarten work. She spoke on the subject “The Mothei Greatest Needs.” In the course of her pa- rer Miss Newton said: “I realize in working with children what some of the needs of a mother are. The. first thing for a mother is to realize what home means to her child. Home life should be made harmonious as far as possible. There is a need of wemen having an or- ganized life of their own, the same organ- ization would find in a plant where the blossoms and leaves gradually unfold one after another. Father, mother and child should keep on growing and not keep in the same cld ruts. ae “We carmot overestimate the value of organized home life. In the kindergarten we have an organized plan. Mothers would find it so much easier if they had a plan for the child, something that they could fit te the child as it grows. Another need, and, if possible, more important than any other, is sympathetic co-operation between husband and wife. A mother should so as to be an ideal to her child in every- thing. Mothers should do as Mrs. Booth had said, love the children of others. Every child can be taught the rights of relation- ship before it leaves the nurser; Mixs McKenzie on “Playground Miss Constance McKenzie of the kinder- garten department of the Philadelphia pub- lic schools read a paper on “Playgrounds, in which she called attention to the urgent need for these breathing spots in great cities. She said that she looked for the time when every city of any importance would provide such places where the cill- éren, especially the children of the poor, who do not go away during the heated term, would have the opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and the benefits of outdoor exercise. There are four cities, she said, which have taken the lead in giving public playgrounds to the children. These are Beston, which began in 1886; New York, in 1:91; Providence, in 1894, and Philadelphi: in 1895, Boston began with playgrounds in the day nurseries. In New York ex- Mayor Abram S. Hewitt has been a leader in the movement for playgrounds, and now they are supported in part by private, in part by public funds. It is provided that the parks shall have a place for the chil- dren to play. In Philadelphia the play- grounds are entirely provided for by public money. ‘fhe playgrounds should be put under con- stant friendiy guardianship.- ‘There must be constant, wise, strong supervision. As a rule, kindergartners are called for to di- rect the playgrounds. Philadelphia will have only kindergartners of approved ex- perience. The grounds are opened six days in the week all day for two months. In Beston they are open seven days in tho week about five months. The tendency is toward longer continuance. = ‘The grounds are equipped with apparatus for physical development, gymnasium our fits, etc. There is no room in any, so far as known, for foot ball, and playgrounds for boys must be established where the stronger games may be enjoyed. It is in these games that self-reliance and fairness may be inculeated. At Providence, Lincoln Park, of Brown University, is made avall- able for the boys to play base ball and the like, and is very -valuable. Practical Results of Child Stnay. Dr. G. Stanley Hall of. Clark University spoke in an interesting way on the subject “Practical Results of Child Study.” Dr. Hall said that in many universities chairs have been established for the study of childhood. “In child st growth was the principal ‘point observ, ‘Thousands of children had been measured with the most interesting tresults. Growth was not, as commonly supposed, the same all over the body at the same time. The difference be- tween the fundamentalJmuscles and ac- cessories was pointed 01 In speaking of the Retopment of the r. Haligaid that fibers, cells and muscles, the finer muscles in a child’s makeup were connected with its thoughts, and were therefore of great importance. The play of the facial muscles fen indicated the thoughts, and mind reading, so called, was simply muscle reading. Thousands of valuabie observations had been made as to childrén's eyes, and it had been found that in Gerthany, where chil- Gren enter school at the ages of five or six years, 9 per cent hadjdefective eyesight. This was increased by the end of the school term to 43 per cent. In many cases where children at school had been thought to be dull or stupid it had developed upon investi- gation that they were afflicted with defec- tive hearing. Dr. Hall said that in all cities apparatus for testing the faculties of children should be kept. Headaches among school children were due, he said, mainly to defective eye- sight. “If school life is really undermining health it cannot do enough good to offset the harm. A child who is not well ought rot to be taught.” During the afternoon session Mrs. Wi!- liam King of Atlanta presented the greet- ings of Georgia clubs to the congress. The Evening Sexsion. The session of the congress last evening was held in Central Hall, which, despite the inclement weather, was well filled. During the evening Mrs. Alice C. Robinson of Baltimore presented a tesolution, which was unanimously adopted. The resolution read as follows: “Realizing the almost limitless power for good or for evil exerted by the daily press, and that the proper education of the youth of our land is of vital importance to the future prosperity of the state; “Resolved, That we will admit into our houses orly those papers whi ‘1 inspire to noble thought and deed, and that our in- fluence shall go toward cultivating the pub- lic taste, until it shall demand from the press only that which elevates and refines.” Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster, the poet, gav a talk on ‘Reading Courses for Mothers ‘The idea of a course of reading,” she said, rather formidable when presented to the mind of a busy woman whose time is already occupied with ihe care of the house, the management of her children and the various social duties which crowd upon time in our complex modern civilization. Many women find their reading necessarily very limited; others have a sort of un- spoken feeling that to read in the day time, even if time is afforded, is a sort of waste- ful idleness. Margaret Ogilvy, you remem- ber, thought it hardly respectable to read in the mernii I remember the pithy say- ing of one friend whose babies were crowd- ed in the nursery like birds in the nest: ‘I have abandoned ail thought or hope of reading anything except the Bible and the cookery book.’ Mrs. Sangster pointed out a number of books which she thought would be helpful to mothers when they were called upon to amuse and entertain their children. In conclusion she said that the mother should have in view the profit and pleasure of her family; and groups of mothers meeting to- gether and following out a course of read- ing, intelligentiy marked out, might easily affect and uplift the social life of a com- munity. Mr. Anthony Comstock's Talk. Mr. Anthony Corstock of New York, whose name: is familiar from one end of the country to the othe, spoke upon the subject “How to Guard Our Youth Agu.nst Bad Literature.” In the course of his talk he said that he had found vice making its way into the schools of New York by means of vicious publications, He had gone to the boys and girls ard insisted on knowing the truth, and had leartied it. He had been in this work for twejity-five years this coming March. He had, nothing to regret, though he might have made more money in another They had driven out the evil publications,, and ‘there was -encour- agement to belicve that the work would be permanent. He told how the mails 1, in spite of such gtiardifg as has 2 Jate obscene photog and pamphlets into hom corners of the land. And thi sent without the parents knowing ar about it. They are citgulated by boys. Mr. Comstock then’ read. a‘ resélution which he desired the congréss io adopt, but which was submitted to the committee on resolutions. Tt was as fellows: Realizing the almost limitless power for good or for evil exerted by thé daily press, and that the proper education of the youth of our land is of vital importance to the future prosperity, 4 “Resolved, That we will admit into our houses only. those papers which inspire to noble thought and dced, and that our in- fluence shall go toward cultivating the public taste until it shall demand from the that which elevates and reflues. .

Dr. Frank Baker, superintendent of the Zoological Park, had a hearing before the Commissioners this morning with reference to House bil! 10330, “To acquire and im- prove Joliet street between the Zoological Park and Connecticut avenue extended. This bill appropriates 0 for the work. In his argument before the Commissioners this morning Dr. Baker said: “This street (Joliet), 196 feet long and 90 feet wide, is the continuation from the west entrance of the Zoological Park of its main road to the point on Connecticut ave- nue extended where visitors to the park alight from the Chevy Chase cars. It nas been in constant and daily increasing use ever since the park was created, and is an absolutely indispensable part of its road system. The ground comprising it belongs to a lady living abroad.

WHY GREECE TOOK ACTIO} Massacres Were Begun in Crete by Turkish Soldiers, In response to a cable me: King of Greece, the received the following: ATHENS, Greece, February 18.—After six months of waiting, the reforms imposed upon Turkey by the great powers are not put into execution. The Turks oppose the organization of the gendarmerie (con- stabulary). On February 3 the Turkish troops began the massacres. The Christian quarters at Canea were burned. About 150,000 women and children are refugees today in Greece. The Cretans, in despair, proclaimed their independence and union with Greece. The Hellenic government sent a small army to occupy Crete, in order to restore order and peace. Five great powers occupy the four towns of Canea, Rethymno, Canea and Sitia. All the remainder of the island is in the possession of the Chriszians. The expressions of sympathy from the great American people, and the Hellenes resident in America, are a precious support to us in the work for the independence of Crete, and we thank them sincer SKOUSES, Minister for Foreign Affairs.
