W. C. it was voted to endorse and support the movement sponsored by the Romans club to erect a special wo-mans building in Decatur.

Miss Hose Elliott presented the matter to tne council, and the proposition carried unanimously. The woman's building is a project on which-the Woman's club has been working for some time. It may not be built within the next year, but its earl- erection is practically assured. As outlined yesterday afternoon to the council, this building would have a larso auditorium and a number of smaller rooms for various uses. It rnijiht even have dormitories, but that is not definite and may not develop.

Assuredly it would be so built that dormitories could be added if they became necessary.

And the difference in one's own satisfaction of living is incalculable. To seethis you have only to think of teachers you know who have grown In themselves as well as in their work, and those who have no life outside their work. If this narrowness can be kept out there is no profession, to my mind, is so nice for a woman as teaching. The surroundings are usually pleasant, the hours are much better than in other professions, and there is the opportunity in the "summer refresh oneself for" the coming year of Work. meetings are to be held in the Spring field High school building.

Such a building would be invaluable for these entertainments. It was at one time a Plan of many of the individual clubs in Decatur to each have its own club building. It is hoped that these plans may be merged into one plan for a large woman's building for all civic clubs, with an auditorium sufficiently big for practical, freiuent ute.
