March 12, 1918.

The club met in the lower hall, and the meeting was called to order by the President. The reading of the records was omitted. The President read an appeal for funds from the local branch of the Public Safety Committee, and the club VOTED that twenty dollars be contributed to this committee from its fund for war work.
Mrs. George U. Crocker had been invited to address the club for a few moments on the general topic of food conservation, and made a very forceful and direct appeal for the special saving of wheat, giving figures to show that to be the most vital thing at present in the food situation.
The Music and Drama Committee had charge of the afternooon, and Mrs. Kenyon, as Chairman presented Agnes Knox Black, who spoke on "Symbolism in Modern Drama". Mrs. Black pointed out the fact that the greatest drama in history is now being enacted on the world's stage. With an illustration from "Pelleas and Melisande", which she read with dramatic force and a deep insight, she sought to convince her audience that the door is now open and that it remains for us, using the world forces of religion, government, the sciences and humanities, and art, to select the significant in the new education which must follow the changes now so rapidly taking place.
Adjourned to March 19.
