Fairfield Loquewa club hears Mitchell on world events
The Inquewa club met yesterday at the library to hear Mrs Mitchell speak on current events. She recited a humorous poem for St Patrick, praised Taft's cabinet as a legal one, and discussed Panama, Alaska, and the canal's ministers travel. She noted Porto Rico's bid for self government, Cuban amnesty, and cautioned on moving pictures and German progress. The talk touched on public schools, reform plans, and a call for improved education led by women in elementary grades. Deputy J Wilbur Smith reported bird hunting incidents near Southport and St Vincent’s hospital area.
