This was the second north end meeting under the au.;pices of a special committee. "The state's attorney's office is th~ most powerful in the state of Illinois," he declared. The state's attorney's office has had no great man in office for twenty-four years, when John J. Healy deserted parthan politics and made this office a citadel of power for right . and justice, said Mr. Olsen. "The thing to remember at this time," be warned, "is that all the officialsCrowe, Thompson and Small-are in the same bubble. They sing 'America' while each has his hand up to the shoulder in the public treasury. When you burst the bubble for Crowe you are bursting the political bubble of all three.

Nonnan Hess, a New Trier boy, is the kind of pianist who makes mothers sigh and wonder if their boys will ever be able to play as well and with as much assurance. His two numbers, Chonin's Waltz in G ftat, and a :Minuet bv Seeboech, were received with so much applause that he responded with .. "ery pleasing encore. Mrs. ·Maxwell, program chairman, ...,nounced that in April Miss :Moore of the Chica~ro Teachers' coll~e would be present to tell, "How to tell stories to r:hildren." She then introduced the cnraker of the evening. Miss Dietz, for many years teacher of natural science in the Glencoe schools, spoke most enthusiastically and eloquently of nature study and what it means to the child. She spoke of nature as the most important thin~ i~ our lives. She gave beauty to all ~owing thimrs, whether they be plant, insect, or bird, and described the leonard fr~ as an object of rare beauty.- She told of how quickly a child responds when the pleasure that can h«> had from learning about all these things is shown him. What a joy it is to manv a child to find that whereas he cannot excel in book studies, by perseverance he ·can excel many a more studious lad in this fascinating work ! Then she turned to "A Storv of Life." ~Wiving in her beautiful way ideas for tellina real stories to little children, stories of little children. stories of n1ant life. bird. and insect life that will teach while they entertain and give to the child a foundation which will make later knowledge of its own creation come as a natural sequence. She told such interesting anecdotes and illustrations of her own work that she left her audience feelin~ that as interested parents of school children thev could not be content until the Wilmette schools secured another "Miss Dietz" and inaugura,ted a natural science department or at least made a · start of some sort in that direction. . ·~ : ~ II.
