DISCUSS IMPORTANT MATTERS.
At Mother's Club Meeting Friday Afternoon?New
President Presided
(Reported for The County Record by
Mrs. Virgil Kinder.)
The regular meeting of the Twentieth
Century Mothers' Club, was held
Friday afternoon, at home of Mrs.
A. C. Swails, with Mrs. C. J. Thompson
as assistant hostess.
The meeting was presided over by
the newly elected president; Mrs. L.
A. Van Keuren and the following program
was carried out.
Reading: "How They Brought the
Good News from Ghent to Aix." by
Mrs. Harry Britton.
Two vocal duets: "Loves Golden
Dream" and "1 Cannot Sing the Old
Songs", by Mesdames L. W. Gilland
and W. S. Gilland.
These were particularly appropriate
selections and were charmingly rendered.
A humorous reading "Mrs. Cummins",
was substituted for the usual
paper and was read by Mrs. J. D.
Britton.
During the busmess meeting, many
topics of interest and importance were
considered. The first matter brought
before the club, was the question as
to whether or not the children's Story
Hour, should be continued throughout
the summer. After much discussion,
it was decided by ballot, to discontinue
the Story Hour until the fall months.
The advisability of asking the trustees
to combine the first and second
divisions of the first grade in this ,
school, was discussed at some length,
[t. was finally decided to appoint a
committee, as follows: Mrs. I?. \Y. Gilland,
chairman, Mrs. J. M Brown and
Mrs. T. E. Arrowsmith, to see the
trustees and find out wether or not,
they had already decided to put this
plan into effect. In case the trustees
report that ne definite action had been
trken in the matter, the committee
was instructed to draw up a petition,
to be signed by the members of the
club, who desire it; asking the trustees
to have the work of the first
grade, so condensed as to make it possible
for the chiid of average intelligence,
to complete the entire grade ir,
cne scholastic yea.''.
The need of a kindergarten in
Kingstree was also brought before
the club. This matter seemed to make
an instant appeal to the mothers present
and a most enthusiastic discussion
followed. . A committee composed of
the following ladies: Mrs. E. T. Kel[cy,
chairman, Mrs. W. K. Mcintosh,
Mrs. J. D. Britton and Mrs. C. J.
Thompson, was appointed by the
president, to canvass the town and
ascertain as nearly as possible, how
many pupils couid be secured for a

meeting and jf the number of pupils

fee, should be made as nominal
as possible and it is earnestly hoped
that the club will have the hearty cooperation
of all the parents.
The following committee was appointed
to prepare the progran; for
the next meeting. Mesdames J. P.
Adams, E. C. Epps and W. E. Lrockinton.
