Mrs. Whcoler's delightful residence at Lake Forest adjoins the old Holt homestead, where as a girl she lived (she was Miss Anna Holt), together with her brother, George Holt, and her Bister, MIbb Ellon Holt, the family at ways having taken a prominent part In the life of the old Lake Forest, about which Mrs. Robert IfcGSnn gave so fascinating and Illuminating glimpse In her paper which she read not long ago. The Old Homestead. The "Homestead," aa the oid Holt place la still known, was built by Mrs W heeler's father, Mr. Holt, a Chicago lumberman long before anyone dreamed that the little hamlet known as Lake Forest would ever develop Into a fashionable colony. 10 those days, It is related, Mr. Holt .iflcd to go out to the Homestead from the oity In a freight car, for there were no passenger trains than except the Milwaukee train, which made no stops en route. Mr. Holt, however, was so enamored of the charms of the place and had such faith In Its possibilities that ho built his home there, aim It Is •aid Induced others of his friends to do so. His was the very first one and he was really the pioneer homesteader MeClure Followed. a. little later Dr. MeClure, who baa -moiated at more weddings In Lake Forest than any other clergyman here- abouts, established a home out thereâ€" a place, by the way, where he and bis family still spend their summers.

J. Plorson of Wllmette. rep- tesentatlve to the state legislature from tale district, and on Tuesday to bear about the. victories won at Lake Forest and Champaign tho past two weeks. The subject of Mr. Plerson's talk was. "Criticism of the State Legisla- ture." The substance was somewhat as follows: "Criticism Is as old as the spoken word; It fa a common means of ex- pressing Interest In a gtven subject or person; "Perhaps for' that reason It Is so' much to evidence regarding the '"!"A»""n ">%f rrr »>â- â- ;. >i â- â- "Hi' â- art Oswawn told of this in se- at Champaign ta was won by Ruth who spoke on the subject of "Increase of our Army and Navy." Ruth believes that the army should not be la Creased and took that side, although she felt it to be the un- popular one. It was reported by one of the instructors who also attended the contest, that tho speech, which was purely extempore, was a remark- ably fine one; Every one In the au- dience listened with the meet intense kind of Interest, and congratulations at the end wore both many and sig- nificant." !* «j ' < .â„¢. " The victory si Champaign places New Trier at the head of tho schools of the state In extempore speaking. Considering the preliminaries, as well a* tho finals, a total of seventy-five high schools was represented. The state legislature, which Is the people's, own organ; but the real reason lies •»»«' delegate from this district was probably In the fact that the people Miss Welsh from tho Deerfleld high who criticize depend tor their news on the more or less sensational reports In the newspapers. These will represent a whole day's weighty actions by an Inch of fine print, though it some rather sensational measure be dis- cussed, or some representative deviate from the ordinary path In some rather signal Instance,â€"unimportant but sen- sational, *- a whole column will be given. "The legislature has accomplished much by its activities. It has dealt with a variety of subjects, all dealing with the social welfare of the citizens of Illinois. It has made possible the juvenile court, civil service tests, pro- bation and parole of prisoners, tem- perance laws, pure food laws, widow's and orphans' pension funds, free surgi- cal aid for crippled children, better care of the Insane, better marriage (or divorce) laws. It has made laws to prevent mob violence, petty thieving, policy gambling, occupational diseases, and countless other bad practices. "The real work of the legislature Is not sensational, and yet many bills which seem so come up to it for dis- cussion. One of these relates to the width and length of bed sheets; an- other, to the length of hat pins. Even these have for their end the bettering of the human race through giving them the conditions they need for develop- ment, physical and otherwise. A man whose hotel bed Is uncomfortable be- cause of too short and narrow sheets, osn't do his work well the next day. As a result of the good legislation the race Is actually becoming bigger and better. Pure food and good clothes and good bouses, provided for indirect- ly by the statutes of the state of Illi- nois, help produce these characteris- tics. "Don't be a knocker," said Mr. Pier- son in closing; "a knocker never does any good. Respect tho state. The men who are in your legislatures are, as It were, the color bearers of tho nation. Don't urge the color bearers to come back to the ranks of the lag- gards,, if they Jn their great eagerness push ashead; bring the ranks up to them!" In assembly Tuesday morulas. Mr. Walker took charge of the program given over to the celebration of the literary victories. The contestants of the various contests who wore prei ent, took part. These were Claronc Brown, Earl Gannon, Miner Cobu: and Ruth Lienor. The victory at La Forest, whore Miner Coburn receivj school. She had won first place In the district contest, hut did not win any honors In the finals. The exercises Tuesday gave a fitting 5= 9S aft for th* â- â- â- â- !!â-  i â- â- !! scholastic honors which uat*s. Two of the twsSvs boys elected to Phi Beta Kappa at Northwestern are Arthur Notheroot and Leland Pier- sen. both of New Trier. *li. Arthur Notheroot also won a fellowship ta English, which Is a signal honor. At Ann Arbor Louis Broach and Harold Smith have boon elected to honor so- cieties, at Wellealey four girls have re- ceived honors, executive or scholastic. Carrie Horswell. Prisciiia Allen. Lucy Chandler, and Edith Chandler. Ray- mond O.-wig. now at New Trier, Is also to be commended for having passed examinations for Annapolis. Mr. Brown's suggestion waa n good one: that the students who have brought honors to the school in all these ways be given worthy recogni lion by the students that the spirit of earnest striving in academic pursuits be a live one. The senior play. "Sweet Lavender," which has been advertised so much. Is to be given at eight o'clock Friday evening, at the school auditorium.
