53. SAINT FRANCIS STUDY CLUB

Miss Jennie Cohan, President
Organized 1915
Federated 1916
Meets second and fourth Mondays

The Saint Francis Study Club was organized for the purpose of
self-culture
and education, and the membership has now reached a total of fifty-two
in
number.

We have devoted a great deal of our time to the study of the history and
peoples of the different nations. Then the study of the literature was
taken
up and last year was devoted to the study of the dramatists of the
European
nations, and many of the most important works of the different
dramatists
were studied and discussed. It has been very interesting to hear the
different members discuss these works, and at the close of the meeting
each
member has felt that she has gained a great deal from the meeting.

We hold meetings on the second and fourth Monday of each month. The
second
Monday is devoted to our study work, and the fourth Monday is devoted to
the
discussion of current events.

We are all very much interested in the current event meetings and on
these
evenings we have a very interesting and capable speaker come to out club
and
take up the subjects of the greatest importance at the present time.
These
meetings are found most illuminating and interesting to all who attend.
