WOMAN S COLUMN.
0<>x> O
_
Woman’s Column.
i In Anchorage we have two classes
: of women. We have them because we
! are human. To one class belong the
; women who think—to the other wo
J men who <lo not think.
| j We are building a new city—meas
1 uring the resources of a new coun
•! try, resources which mean riches to
j! ourselves, to our nation, to the world.
3 The men and women who have fos
3 tered the vigorous growth about us
; are the men and women who think,
; think constructively—the men and
3 women not so much bound by the past
s: as to allow custom and forms to vol
= untarily curtail their mind and facul
j ties. Useful methods of yesterday
| are not necesarily the successful
1 methods of today. The forms of the
i past were created by a live spirit,
t but when the spirit dies, are we so
; bound by tradition that we must wor
jj ship dead bones? Let us not deceive
= ourselves. We never arrive at the
C stage where we can gain no more in
si formation. We may cease acquiring
a knowledge—our brains may be at a
S standstill—we may retrogress. But
= the world travels right on, and we
3 alone fall behind. If you would ful
a ly realize the possibilities of human
ii happiness, self-development and
= achievement, keep your mind open,
jj your spirit flexible. If you are really
3 alive—you must grow! If you have
a n’t any interest in life—you are ossi
5 fying.
| You remember how earnestly moth
a er studied you as a child. Gave you
a porridge to eat each morning to
S “make your brain grow.” You know
= how careful the wise, prospective
a mother of today is to take advantage
i of her greater knowledge to insure
S her child having good brain power.
= But are you using your brain—think
a ing—deeply and earnestly? Are you
5 able to understand your children; to
I train them to develop the power of
=■ concentrated, constructive throught?
5 Are you doing all that lies within
a your power to help their teachers do
5 this?
= It was only the other day right
5 here in Anchorage, that your pessi
i mistic friend told you “these new
1 fangled notions are no good. You
* can’t help folks when we live in such
? a wicked age.” And you remember
[ thinking that your friend might be a
splendid woman, but her thoughts
were not strikingly original. Cer
tainly, we should benefit by the ex
perience of past generations, but it
is the practical results of the unpre
cedented things or methods which
must prove their worth. Novelty is
not of necessity impractical or worth
less. Don’t make of yourself a house
hold drudge merely to prove to im
beciles that you are a good wife and
mother, if you believe you can help
prevent illness, dirt and cruelty by
; taking an interest in civic and social
I affairs.
Last winter thoughtful, progressive
women of Anchorage, possessed by a
strong desire to do a social service,
the instinct to guard their children
while out of the home and their own
personal development, made possible
the organization of several clubs and
societies, which will be fanned into
new life with the coming month.
t t t
The Parent-Teachers’ association,
of which Mrs. E. S. Reedy is presi
dent, has bestirred itself in the past
to create a more sympathetic under
standing between parent and teacher,
and to stimulate the interest if every
citizen in the ways and means em
ployed in educating the children. We
forget to realize that it is not to the
interest of the community to allow
our responsibilities to cease with the
sending of our children to school.
The elementary education is the first
step in the development of the em
bryo law-maker. Every citizen should
exert himself or herself to assist the
teachers and members of the school
board in bringing a more comprehen
sive wisdom to bear on this import
ant subject—not only for the devel
opment of each individual child, but
the education of the future citizens.
This association is arranging to
hold its first meeting immediately af
ter the re-opening of school. All in
terested are cordially invited to at
tend.
t t f
The musicale and social of the lo
cal branch of the W. C. T. U. on
Thursday evening at the Presbyterian
church proved a brilliant success and
despite the unfavorable weather, a
good crowd turned out. The musical
program was in the hands of Mrs. Mc
Donald. Miss Harmon rendered a vi
olin solo, which was much appreciat
ed, accompanied at the piano by her
sister. Miss Pearl Bartholf gave a
reading and Mrs. Turner a vocal solo.
The church parlors were artistically
J decorated with ferns and flowers. The
.delicious goodies served at the social
tickled the palate, and did credit to
the ladies, while the candy booth will
be remembered for many a day.
The Friendly Aid society, which ;
meets on the second and fourth Wed
nesday of each month at the Presby
terian church is planning a bazaar I
to be held in November. The needle- I
work display promises to be most I
comprehensive and the taste and in
genuity being displayed in the var
ied designs, promises to solve many
of the Christmas gift problems.
Special efforts will be expended to
meet the demands of little folk. This
society is undenominational and will
be glad of the assistance of interest
ed workers.

The New Building' on Fourth Avenue Between C and D
Desire For Material Things
Weakens Our Intellectual Life
By President W. H. P. FAUNCE, Brown University
O-—-———O
WITEX our young people enter college we find the trouble with them
is not that they have bad habits, but that they have no habits at
all; not that they think badly, but that they do not think. All
this is in the college simply because it is in our whole generation. IT
IS THE INEVITABLE OUTCOME OF A LIFE THAT HAS
NEVER KNOWN NATIONAL DISASTER AND HAS MADE MA
TERIAL PROSPERITY THE GOAL OF ITS DESIRE.
Shall the European nations emerge from the awful conflict disci
plined, co-ordinated, accustomed to the service of the state, and shall we
in America be found vacillating and irresolute, lovers of ignoble comfort,
desiring above all things the full dinner pail and the fat purse? Shall
Europe come forth purged of selfish individualism bv the tremendous
contest, while we, sitting on the “bleachers” of the world, make no sacri
fice and.win no inner victory?
God forbid thnt America should ever share in the frightful war! God
forbid that America should fail to 6hare in the worldwide sacrifice!
WE NEED DEEP AND EARNEST STUDY OF THE ISSUES THAT UN
DERLIE THE STRUGGLE AND THE IDEALS FOR WHICH AMERICA
STANDS.
