""MUSIC MEMORY Imagine yourself in Orchestra hall. The Chicago Symphony has just played part of a movement from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. You are then asked to answer the following questions: (1) What is the name of the piece, part o£ which you have just heard ? (2) Who composed it? (3) What was his nationality? Suppose you had shown your familiarity with twenty-five such pieces of "music, wouldn't you feel rather proud yourself The fact is, that if you're an average man you'd get a grade of about 23. Another probability is that your little son or daughter would^get a ratings four times as good. That's because when you were a school boy they didn't have, Music Memory contests. Now'days- it's quite different. Children who are to take part in the contest are, with the help of a phonograph or piano. drilled thoroughly to recognize almost any phrase from the world's master compositors. The teacher puts into the phono- graph a record, the name of which only she knows. The children listen to lit. The teacher stops the machine and asks some child the name of the composition. If the child makes a mistake he is corrected. So the drill goes on until every child in the team is letter perfect. They rehearse over and over again to make sure that they will not forget. Then the grand final contest comes at Or- chestra hall. The value of the affair, of course, does not lie in winning. The great thingisthatthey become acquainted, get to be on intimate terms with masterpieces. Appreciation is heigh- tened and life has more value. It's too bad, however, that the element of contest, of competition, is made so much of. "HELP SAVE THE BABIES!" "Five dollars cares for one baby six months. Ten dollars cares for one baby one year." It is a matter of common knowl- edge that babies do not thrive in crowded areas of cities, especially great cities like Chicago. This crowded condition means lack of sunlight, fresh air, and good food. It also means lack of adequate med- ical attention. .JBabies born in these densely populated neighborhoods become thin spindling, sickly chil- dren, unable later in life to live up to the exacting requirements of good citizenship. They easily fall prey to the ever-active attack of di- sease germs and become physically, mentally and morally unfit. They till our hospitals, asylums,-and jails. We have to pay for their support. Won't five dollars go farther now than it will later. It will care for a baby for six months. Five dollars now may save hundreds of dollars later when the young man or woman becomes dependent on you and other tax payers for liveli- hood. Have you ever seen an ignorant mother feeding her baby coffee and bananas? You have probably seen worse sights than that, but what can you expect of ignorance and pov- erty? North shore mothers know what need the babylias for expert medical care and, with .amazing speed, very young and delicate in- fants respond to a good doctor's treatment. Telephone to Mrs. Ernest P. Bartlett of Wilmette and offer your help in this most worthy work. DEMOCRACY IN THE SCHOOLS A new idea! I Parents and teachers, do not in- -flkt-rorporai^unishment upon your ^oung charges! Let the lickings be administered by the contemporaries _^„^===_&,_______ .______ of trie guilty children. If justice#?©grams, engage the lecturers and demands that youth be punished, let fipright youth inflict the pains, j This idea is inspired by the fact that in the Wilmette schools there is a Student council, part of whose business it is to discipline their schoolmates. ; Members of the StudenT council! In your disciplining, before you ap- ,ply any other rule to the sensitive feelings of your school fellows, try the Golden Rule! OUR SUNDAY EVENING CLUB A great organizationâ€"the Wil- mette Sunday Evening club! Its root idea is that every program must be the best possible. Every speaker must be the one best fitted to speak on his particular subject. Every singer must be a proved ar- tist. Every player must be an ex- pert. The idea is that the best is none too good for this community. With such an aim from its very in- ception the club was bound to suc- ceed. The club has had on its program such speakers of national reputation as William Jennings Bryan and Vice-President Coolidge; Shailer Mathews and George Craig Stew- art; Bishop Anderson and Ray- mond Robins; The Evanston A Capella Choir and the Apollo Club have sung at club meetings. It has presented such musicians as those who appeared last Sunday evening â€"Ethel Benedict and the Phil- harmonic quartet, members of the Chicago Symphony orchestra. But, after all, it isn't really the speakers and musicians who vital- ize the club. The ones most respon- sible for its prosperity are the mem- bers of the club's executive board, W. Frank McClure and his associ- ates,â€"They are the ones into effect the fundamental idea, the central policy. Theyuyork 3» 3» 3» & 3X $ $ & & $> 3» & S* &. & at & & & & & p that~put+i»* SL artists.

THE COMMUTER'S TICKET The March ticket is green like last Spring's leaves. As the con- ductor comes through the car with a red carnation in his button hole, he feels like punching the commut- er, but instead punches the green ticket. The sun is rising accord- ing to schedule and sinking just as regularly. The sparrow chirps as merrily as if spring days had re- turned. As the days go by, the ticket will be smaller. When he has paid his taxesâ€"income, real estate, and personal propertyâ€"the com- muter's bank account will, also be ismailjTi Little pools of water on the low side of Ae walk make wet feet.
