Thursday, Jan MRS. LUNDE DISCUSSES EDUCATIONAL PROBLEM There are 10,000 one room schools in Illinois, and a great difference in the educational opportunities of varâ€" fous districts. In small districts, the assessed valuation of property is so low, that the educational standards are _ correspondingly _ poor. _ Some schools down state are even unable to provide seats for their pupils. In the mining district, extra suvscripâ€" ticns are necessary, in order to proâ€" vide the simplest education. On the other hand, some of the schools in the . wealthier : sections are known throughout the country for their high standards and unusual educaâ€" tional advantages. A good example of these inequalities is the fact that (Continued on page 34) Conditions of Taxation in Illiâ€" nois Compared. School Sysâ€" tem in Operation Illinois, which ranks seventh among the states of the Union in per capita current income, is 35th in its ‘state support for schools.â€" So said Mrs. Laura Lunde speaking before the Highland Park League of Women Voters on Jan. 21. _ Other points brought out by Mrs. Lunde in her very ‘interesting discussion of the status of education in Illinois, are as follows: D. A. R. Better Films Committee Review It will be some time before those who saw "Tom Sawyer," and the funâ€" ny. comedies which rounded out the program, willâ€" forget what a good treat <that was for young. and old alike. .In the weeks to come other excellent family enterainment | is promised, and first of all we are goâ€" ing to tell about "Up the River." This is a very entertaining comedy of prison life. It has been skilfully diâ€" ing to tell about "Up the River." This is a very entertaining comedy of prison life. It has been skilfully diâ€" rected by John Ford, and is highly amusing from start to finish. .It is wholesome and refreshing and parâ€" ents who wish to.go with the children and make a family party of it, let us suggest that you choose this picture rather than "Sea Legs." Children will doubtless find the latter hilariously funny, and there is nothing objectionâ€" wble, but adults are apt to find it somewhat dull. On Saturday in adâ€" dition there will be shown an educaâ€" tional film, "Wild Men of Kalihart" and at the matinee only the serial ‘‘The Spell of the Cireus." "See America Thirst" is a burlesque of gunmen and gangs, making easy money and law violation too enticing to have unqualified recommendation. Harry Langdon is featured. "Sunny" Marilyn Miller looks her prettiest and sings and dances charmâ€" ingly as usual. Very good cast supâ€" ports her and this picture will be found a satisfying, bright, delightful treat for all. "Feet First" finds Harold Lloyd in a splendid clean farce comedy. Many find him more amusing when he shows the conquest of an inferiority complex, and as this film has much dizzy midâ€"air thrills we feel obliged to issue a warning to those of exâ€" citable temperament and â€"sensitive nerves. It is lively and as is always the caseâ€" with Lloyd pictures, exâ€" tremely amusing. # 29, 1931 The first quarterly mecting of the Eighth District American Legion auxâ€" iliary will be held Wednesday, Feb. 4, at 8 o‘clock at Holy Family hall, North Chicago, Illinois.
