Special Dispatch to the World-Herald. Wayne, Neb., Oct, 9. -The morning session of the convention of Woman's clubs was opened by President Mrs. Draper Smith and was devoted to reports of clubs of which forty-one were represented and eighty-three delegates present. Reports indicated especially gratifying work in club extension, library making and civic and art studies.
In the reports Mrs. McKillup of Seward scored a decided success in rhyme; Stanton reported a young woman's club North Bend a handsome woman's club, and Plattsmouth admitted asking the assistance of the men in carrying out literary work, while the Genoa club coyly declared they were said to run the town.
Mrs. Draper Smith declares the development of chid nature to be the paramount object of club work.
Mrs. Heller of Omaha is here in the interest of help for kindergarten work among negro children, claiming the race problem will be solved when we train the younger members into rounded character as kindergarten education alone does.
Mrs. Etta R. Holmes of Kearney is arousing much interest in industrial reformatory work.
