I Well Known
Miss Mary F. Ledyard, One
of Most Prominent in
Mothers' Work, Is Now a
! Resident of This City.
r
HE following convention of the
National Congress of Mothers and
Parent-Teacher associations will
bring numbers of women prominent in
educational and club circles to Port
land in May. Among those women who
are most active and most widely
known in connection with congress
work is Miss Mary F. Ledyard, re
cently from Los Angeles, but now a
resident of Portland.
Possessing a splendid knowledge- of
the congress, its origin and develop.
ment. and in addition having an un
derstanding of such work, both in Eu
rope and the Orient, Miss Ledyard is
a ivaluable acquisition to Portland's
local organization. From the begin
ning, as a worker in the small gather
ings, called mothers' meetings, which
arterwarci grew into a huge state
Mothers' Congress. Miss Ledyard has
been a prominent figure in the growth
of: congress work. She was for sev
eral years superintendent of the' kin
dergarten work in Los Angeles, and
was able to work in co-operation with
mothers and teachers of the little
children. Eventually this same co-operation
was taken Into higher grades,
until finally the mothers of children of
all grades met together in mothers'
meetings to discuss the problems of
bst caring for the mental, moral and
physical training of the child. In
speaking of the first kindergarten
work entered into by Miss Ledyard.
the Club Woman's Argosy, of Texas
saio :
Miss Mary F. Ledyard is the very
efficient supervisor of kindergartens
in tne Los Angeles public schools.
Some of the Texas -women may remeni-
Der seeing her at the Mothers Con
grtess at Washington, as Governor Gil
lette appointed her to represent the
state or California on that occasion
one oas me aisiinction or Deing a pu-
pu or .aie uougias Wlggin, In San
Francisco, and the kindergarten work
is Innate with her. for her mother was
one of California's pioneer kindergar-
xeners. miss Ledyard had three years'
study abroad, and then had some work
with Miss Harrison. In fact, she Is
an alumna of the Chicago Kindergar
ten college."
Since her work In Los Angeles, MIfs
Ledyard has been In China, where she
spent two years in organizing kinder
garten work.
In speaking of activity along the
lines of the congress and parent-teachw
er- associations there, the educator
said. "China is just awakening. The
mothers there have never had oppor

the importance of the child's upbring-

since It contains neither o dates, nar

have as efficient an. organization as
those of Europe or America. Of
course, there is just a bare beginning,
but the spirit of many has been
aroused, and , we may look for big
things from the Orientals."
Miss Ledyard will probably give a
paper and will speak on the -situation
of mothers' meetings In China at the
coming convention, and many are look
ing forward to this as a most Inter
esting part of the program. This Cali
fornia woman, who takes a" big inter
est in national congress affairs said
in regard to the development and pres
ent state of the work:
"The national congress is progress
ing rapidly In the right, line, for re
cently state organizers have been se
cured to open up and build organiza
tions all over the country. This means
circles and local congresses organized
on an efficient business 'basis, so that
the best efforts can be put forth In
the important activities which such a
body of women stand for."
Miss Ledyard, since her residence In
Portland, has made her home with
Miss Valentine Pritchard, a very well
known educator. Miss Pritchard is
Identified with many of Portland's
progressive educational works, and
Miss Ledyard is already entering into
airairs witn an enthusiasm which will
make her a great help to the clty
progress in congress and club work.

T 8 o'clock on the evcnfng of April
30 there will bo given a charity
play at the Eleventh street play
house for the needy people of Stephens
school district. The people of the cast
are professionals largely, whose .nerv-
Ices have been donated, Walter Gil
bert Is directing the play. .
Stephens school is in the soulhrust
part of the city, a section of mills, fn--
torjes. laundries, etc., the' population
is n shifting one with many extremely
needy people and last winter much
difficulty was expcriencfd in providing"
shoes and stockings, as well n, food
for them.
The city charities and social service
workers did rplendid worl: hirt the
many demands upon them were prvitcr
than they could meet, hence itiilvld
ual contributions from teachers and
people of the vicinity became neces
sary. In order to forestall a repeti
tion of last winder's experience n's well
as to meet still outKtandlng bills, this
benefit play is planned.
This fund will be dlsHurso-J by a
committee composed of the principal,
Mr, Steele, Miss Lois Williams, who
is in full charge of arrangements; ono
other teacher and one parent-' of the
neighborhood, quietly and without tho
least publicity, in. cases of extreme
need and which have been thoroughly
investigated.
After careful consideration this plan
of a small committee .with ahHohitn
executive authority to act has ben de
cided upon rather than under the di
rection, of organized charity, it is be
lieved that robody of individuals so
well knows the conditions as the teach
ers, who can Impartially judge by
dally contact. Furthermore there will
be no expense attached to the dis
pensing of this fund, so every penny,
will reach the place most reeded.
Portland's most prominent sclcty
and club women are in hearty coopera
tion with these plans and are gener
ously lending every anslctaiire. A
most splendid success Is anticipated.
