Poule pherberd mait W. H. Onderdonk Dies; Funeral Is Held Here Monday Private funeral services for Wilâ€" liam Holmes Onderdonk, 405 Lake avenue, who passed away Friday at the Passavant hospital in Chicago, were held Monday mfternoon at 1:30 ofelock at his home. _ Rev. Christoph Keller, rector of Trinâ€" the chapel at Graceland cemetery, where Mr. Onderdonk‘s body was cremated. The ashes will be placed in a lot at Rosehill cemetery beâ€" side the graves of his parents. A stone from Tribune Tower, the building Mr. Onderdonk loved and served, will be removed, carved and used for his headstone. Mr. Onderdonk became ill of pneumonia three months ago. He passed the crisis of the illness in his home, but was taken to the hosâ€" pital in Chicago when he failed to regain strength,. Complications of the disease caused his death. Mr. Onderdonk, who was 59 years old, was born at Jersey City, N. J., moving to Evanston with his famâ€" ily at an early age. He attended the public schools there, later enterâ€" ing Nogthwestern Academy from which he enrolled at Northwestern university. After completing his ‘education he entered the real estate business in Chicago, learning much of propâ€" erty management and administraâ€" tion. In 1906 he joined the Chiâ€" cago Tribune, becoming manager of the building at Madison and Dearâ€" born streets, where the newspaper was then published. When Tribune Tower was erectâ€" ed on Michigan avenue in 1925, the building corporation was formed with Mr. Onderdonk as vice presiâ€" dent.. Many of his ideas went into the building of the tower. This was true again later when the home of Wâ€"Gâ€"N, the Tribune‘s radio station, was being built just north of the tower. Many features of this strucâ€" ture are years ahead of similar ones erected later. In addition to the Michigan aveâ€" nue buildings .and the one in the loop, Mr. Onderdonk had under his supervision the paper warehouses, and many other units used on proâ€" duction of the newspaper. Mr. Onderdonk had been a resiâ€" dent of Highland Park for nineteen years, and altho deeply interested in all civic and philanthropic enâ€" terprises locally, he had never taken an active part in the affairs of the city. He was an active member of the Exmoor Country club. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Catherine Hamilton Onderâ€" donk, a son Dudley, a daughter Virginia, who is in England attendâ€" ing Cambridge university, and three brothers, Dudley and John of New York and Lawrence Onderdonk of Winnetka.

Funeral services were held Tuesâ€" day afternoon at the Swedish Methâ€" odist church in Highwood, followed by burial in Memorial Park cemeâ€" Devote More Time to Mentally Superior Delinquents Advised On Wednesday, January 12, Dr. Irene Josselyn of Highland ‘Pll’k,‘ psychiatrist at the Institute of Juyâ€" enile Research, spoke before the Raâ€" vinia Woman‘s Club on the "Inter« relationship of the Family and the Community." _ She said that the first part of the 20th century might be termed the "Age of Disastrous Individualism." Our neurotic adults products of a too conventionalized youth, have made individualism a deity. Their attitude is one of "What Can the World Mean to Me?" which cannot help but result in a disintegration of social living. Psychiatrists define maturity as having been reached when "the inâ€" dividual‘s needs and interests are so expressed that they serve society, and, incidentally, the individual." Dr. Josselyn expressed a desirt tha we might become more excited over the mentally superâ€"delinquents, instead of devoting so much attention to the mentally inferior delinquents.Gangâ€" sters, forgers, etc., are generally suâ€" perior individuals, and the main reaâ€" son some people become geniuses and others become criminals is that unconsciously the geniuses are moâ€" tivated by a social sense. Children are essentially social, with adults mistakenly injecting the idea, "what do you care what the outside world thinks â€" so long as you know you‘re right?" It‘s rathâ€" er tough on a,child who carries this out; anyway the stronger "individâ€" ual" is bound to dominate the group. It is the duty of parents to instill a community feeling because a child cannot jump free from the family group to the world at large: the community is a readyâ€"made, interâ€" vening step.
