THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1920' * Activitikrs, (North Shore Chilxy by Rutk Rirley"n. OUNTRY clubs hereabouts are donning new and attractive coats of paint, and in other ways are preparing for their Spring openings. A "full house" is the prediction of every manager, as the bookings are coming in. Indian Hill club is now in the hands of the decorator and the carpenter. The cuisine is being entirely remodeled, with additional pantries and floor space for tables in the oblong dining room. Ex- cept for a few mid-winter flings for the boys and girls home from eastern schools on vacation, the club has not been opened. Glen View is having its regular fpring house cleaning and is registering its summer population. , Residents of Glencoe and thereabouts have been kept awake nights wondering what the lights in the Skokie clubhouse could possibly mean. Finally in answer to a query put straight to the manager, it was discovered the clubhouse is planning to open on April 1. Then there is the North Shore Golf club, with its brand new club house, Westmoreland Country club and Bob O'Link Golf club. Interesting programs, both in golf and in a social way, prom- ise to make this season, most enjoyable, y £ :-------;------------4--------------:â€"A â- **" ' 'â- â€¢â-  -â- '**'â-  *' "' â- *" The Yo\ing Woman's Auxiliary will be in charge of the meet- ing of the North Sno ; Catho ic Woman'> league to he held at the Winnetka Woman's club on Thursday afternoon »<f next week.

The undivided suppjort of Wil- mete fathers and mothers of school children in presenting a bill provid- ing for the establishment of kinder- gartens in every public school in the state of Illinois, was asked last Monday by Miss Katherine Martin in speaking before the members of the Parent-Teacher association of Logan school. Miss Martin, whose headquarters are at the Kindergarten Training de- partment of the University of Chi- cago, spoke on "The Relations of Primary Grades to Kindergartens." Her talk was devoted entirely to showing the great value of the kin- dergarten work as an aid in the de- velopment of initiative on the part of the school children. She pointed out that a greater part of the out- lying schools of Chicago are without Kindergartens or Kindergarten train- ing. In advocating the slogan of the Kindergarten campaigners, "a kinder- garten in every school and every child in kindergarten," Miss Martin pointed out the practicability of more closely associating primary and kindergarten work. She explained how it was practical to apply all kindergarten experiences to primary subjects in order to place before the pupils natural instead of abstract problems. As an example she illustrated the close relationship of the English or conversation in the kindergarten to the reading period in the lower grades. The games and hand work when enlarged in refer- ence to primary, subjects would be instrumental in holding the attention of the pupils in the teaching of the three "R's". Real, natural problems, Temper- j she said, seldom fail to make a much ith Mrs. ; more vivid impression on the minds of the pupils than any number of ab- stract problems.

Miss Martin told how the self-expression of the pu- pils was developed in experiments at he Kindergarten Training de- partment where the pupils' own ex- periences were substituted for read- ing lessons. Where the pupils' les- sons can be prepared from their own experiences, their compositions, drawings, and conversations, made from things which they have actually seen, heard and participated in, there is no question of the benefits to be derived from a closer relationship between kindergarten and primary work, said Miss Martin. She con- cluded by asking the support of Wil- mette parents in the proposed legis- lative act. So many of the members of the association expressed such enthus- iastic interest in the talk that it is quite likely another meeting of the organization will witness, the formal sanctioning 'of Miss Martin's pro- posed bill. The meeting was presid- ed over by Mrs. Albin Carlen, 1713 Walnut street. the very successful event, wiven ab the Country club last fall.
