RURAL WOMEN MOVE RAPIDLY TOWARD FRONT Those who attended the meeting of the Richmond Domestic Science association at the new Day Nursery yesterday afternoon declare it to have been one of the most enjoyable and successful meeting held by the orfanization. Members of the women's clubs from different part of Wayne county were present as guests of the Richmond or ganization. The purpose of the meeting was explained by Mrs. A. D. Cobb, who said that too often the women of the country and city misunderstand each other. She said the country women are prone to believe that the city women spend all their time at parties and club meetings, and that the city women entertained the idea that women of the country were busy all the time, raising chickens and washing milk buckets. "The country women have not had the opportunities for advancement that the city women have had," she said, "but they are doing everything they can to catch up." About fifty women from the country clubs were present, twenty coming from the Women's auxiliary of the Centerville institute.
