"The first meeting of the Associated Clubs of Domestic Science was held in Chicago on the 1st. The movement is national and already has a membership in many States. The following officers were elected: President, Mrs. W. W. Gaar, of Richmond, Ind.; vicepresident, Mrs. Ada B. Bogg; State vice-president, Mrs. Alonzo Daniels, Downer's Grove; treasurer, Paul Pierce; secretary, Mrs. Jean Cowgill Comerford. The president stated the function of the organization as follows: "The time has come when the people need more knowledge concerning domestic conditions. Domestic science is not alone the science of cookery and scrubbing. It is the science of the home. To have well regulated homes there must be an understanding not only of food, but of law and legislation, and conditions which concern the home. Much has been done along this line. We intend to do more. We mean to do it without aggression or conflict with any existing organization which lias for its purpose the betterment of humanity. Ultimately weshall have a vast membership, which will demand proper enforcement of laws that are vital to the home, and the enacting of others by our national and State legislative bodies."
