February’s program is always a
memorial to Miss Frances Willard
in which her character and life work
is presented, thus keeping in mind
her wonderful spirit which is an in
centive to carry on the work she
so nobly gave her life.
Mrs. G. D. Head, program chair
man, gave the highlights of Miss
Willard’s life in story form. ' mong
her many achievements cited she
named the organization of the World
W. C. T. C. as one of the greatest
as it has grown into a union of 54
different countries, doing organiz
ed work and carrying on in a big
way.
In giving the different memorials
placed in her honor, of which there
are over 300, she stated the greatest
is her statue in Statuary Hall in the
Capitol, presented by her state, Illi
nois, and an unusual precedent oc
curred, Congress adjourned to re
ceive it.
Frances Williard's intellectual
qualities sumirrd up in a brief way,
were given by Mrs. Head. She said
do you know that Miss Willard was:
First woman president of a college
granting a degree; First president
of National Council of Women; In
troduced self government among col
lege students; First woman dele
gate to a chui'ch General Confer
ence and was refused because she
was a woman; Editor of the Chica
go Daily Post for one year; A mem
ber of Alpha Phi, colloge sorority?
Do you know that she received a
Master’s Degree from Syracuse Un
iversity; an LLD from Wesleyan
University; That under her leader
ship the following ideas were plant
ed as seeds and have grown into our
nation life? Physical education in
public schools; Thrift through school
savings; Pure food guaranteed by
law; Police matrons for delinquent
women; In industry equal pay for
equal labor; The eight hour day for
labor; Woman’s right to Anti
cigarette leagues; Child Welfare;

(now P. T. A.’s) International rela

education; World Peace.
Mrs. D. P. Settle told the story
of Taj Mahal, tomb of an Empress
of India, said to be the most beau
tiful in the world, “wrought of mar
ble and semi-precious stones, work
of 20,000 workmen toiling for 18
long years to create,” stands as the
tribute of the husband to the wom
an he loved. Mrs. Settle made a
comparison with the living memo
rial that the Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union is building, ob
served each year with a significant
observance magnetic with her life
story. This comparison was fitting
ly made in a tribute by one who
knew her well. “Hers was a bpau
ty not to be compared with the beau
ty of the cold and unresponsive
marble of the Taj Mahal, for she
was radiant with life, a life con
stantly doubled by giving it out to
others.
The Chicago Daily News, refer
ring to the day when Miss Willard’s
body lay in state in Willard Hall of
the Woman’s Temple, said: “Of all
the tributes paid her, none was
greater 'than that paid her in death,
when, while the flags of the city
floated at half-mast, 30,000 braved
the snow and slush to stand in line
for hours that they night look once
more upon her face.”
Only items of special interest
were given during the short business
session.
It was a pleasure and inspiration
to have six visitors present. Out of
this number three were gladly re
ceived as new members: Mrs. A. E.
Barton, wife of the Methodist pas
tor, Mrs. Briggs, wife of the. Bap
tist pastor, and her mother, Mrs.
