The presidential tbevll'riday After-
. , - noon Club, Miss Helen Ferris. and the
president at the“ Woman's Club. Mrs.
lease 8. Jennings. invited their rem
.' ,pective organisations to the house or
- the latter yesterday afternoon‘to hear
Miss Celeste iii. Bush. chairman of the,
Educational ‘ Committee of the ‘ Federa-
tion, speak upon the educational cou-
dltlons‘df Connecticut. ’
Notwithstanding fthe= bad walking
and the fact that'several other enter-
tainments were going. on. a large pro-
portion of the Clubs were present.
Mrs. Jennings Welcomed the guests
and presented Miss Bush felicitousiy.
‘She explained that Miss Ferris and
herself after hearing the speaker [at
.the Federation meetings had longed
that every individual in the Clubs
should be made acquainted“. with the
matter she presents so well; that if
what Miss Bush said might seem some
what astonishing her hearers should
know that she is directly authorized
by the State Board oi Education to do
the work she is now doing. At the
close of Miss Bush‘s speech after she
had been enthusiastically applauded.
’Mrs. Jouuinss added happily "New y u
know why-wewere so anxious to be e
you bear Miss Bush."
Miss -Bush speaks almost entirely
without no? and it is impossible in
any gest 1 what she says to do ins.
lice o the effect she herself has upon
an audience. Her individuality is
pleasing, her voice exquisitely sweet
in all its modulations. and she imme.
dintely establishes those pleasant per-
snuai relations without which oneme
be. a speaker, but [layer on orator.
. Miss Bush believes that Connecticut
is in very great danger ofvioslug its
prestige.” a Statedhmtlflathslackioi
system in its schools.:tne its uncoor-
dinated systems and the jealousy of
the smaller towns lost some of their
prerogatives oi self—government may
be taken away. She likens the pres~
eut conditions existing between State
and town educationally to the condi-
tions when the Continental Congress
could recommend on all subjects to the
States but had no further power. She
believes that if a town has seen well
to its own schols It should never rest
till all the schools are good. since the
well-being of a State depends upon the
intelligence and education of all its
citizens.
She asks of the women oi the State.
first to form clubs in towns where
none now exist, and she has found that
there are more than one hundred such
towns. ‘ in the clubs she asks that oil.

diately established. these committees
to study local conditions in the schools.
to help the teachers. to connect with
the State Board which offers a great
deal of help. Ans she been the wom-
an to vote and to keep voting.
Miss Bush has at her command
many examples drawn from her wide
knowledge «history and literature
and one ,nnrlcbesbor discourse with
these. it ever a porous believed in the
