Mrs. Charles A. Mockmore,
formerly dean of women at Ore
gon State college, was the guest
SDeaker. discussing women in
policy making posts.
She reviewed the progress of
women in the business, profes
sional, economic and political
life of this country during the
past 100 years, pointing out It
Is less than 100 years ago that
fully accredited scholarship rat
ings were given women's col
leges, that a woman was or
dained to the ministry, that wo
men were Just starting to be rec
ognized in the profession of law.
and that it was much later that
women were accepted in the
field of medicine. Bringing it
on up to modern times, Mrs.
Mockmore pointed out it was a
woman physicist who made the
computations giving the key to
make the atomic processes possible.
Politically, It took 52 years
of campaigning to grant women
the right to vote. "And that
brings us to the question, where
has that vote brought us? Have
we made the most of it?" the
speaker asked. Pointing out that
In the last general election only
one woman was elected to the
U. I. senate, nine to the house
of representatives, 18 to senates
in the state legislatures and 19
to the houses of representatives
i nthe states, she reminded the
group the United States record
as regards women in political
offices is poor in comparison to
other countries where women
run for the same positions.
Cltiienship Obligations
Apathy, she said, Is one of
the great hindrances to women
achieving more in this field, and
then there is the question of
how seriously is the matter of
citizenship taken in education.
Quoting Harold Stassen, presi
dent of the University of Penn
sylvania, Mrs. Mockmore said
there are four obligations to con
sider in education for citizen
ship exercising the right to
vote, taking time to be inform
ed, forming opinions and assum
ing the duty of expressing opin
ions.
"Behaving by principles" was
stressed by the speaker if civil
zation is to survive under the
great forces and Inventions that
would destroy.
Miss Phebe McAdams intro
duced the speaker. Dr. Mock
more was a guest at the meeting.
Special music for the evening
was a group of solos by Mrs.
Bruce Spaulding, accompanied
by Mrs. A. A. Schramm.

ene day by the other ladies for

her two strong, handsome
sons who.were nearby and
said 'These are my Jewels!"
