gest Mothers’ club in the state exists 
at Greenfield. ‘The first evening a re- 
ception was held at which Mrs. Mears, 
the National President of the organ- 
ization, and Mrs. Higgins, state Pres- 
ident, presided. Addresses of wel- 
come were delivered by prominent 
men of Greenfield. Mrs. Higgins 
spoke on the good the club might do, 
not only looking after the individual 
families, but also in obtaining state 
laws regarding the regulation of mar- 
riage by the fitness of the parties con- 
cerned. Mrs. Mears, in her address, 
gave an interesting account of the 
growth of the Mothers’ Congress, 
which was organized 15 years ago. 
Good work is done by this organiza- 
tion, not only in the United States, 
but its influneces has reached as far 
as China, where it has been a factor 
in the prevention of the opium habit. 
To the Mothers’ Congress is largely 
due the credit for the play-grounds 
which have meant so much to school 
children, especially in crowded cities. 
Officers were elected the second 
day of the convention, Mrs. D. T. 
Beaton of Manchester, achieved the 
honor of being elected vice-president.
