Miss Flora J. Cooke spoke on, "An Ideal l &« « . " | School Community" at the first lect- lure. William J. Bogan's subject on | March 12 was, "Pre-vocational | Schools:" and Mrs. Marietta John- {son of Fairhope, Alabama, spoke on "Progress in Education" and "Organ- {ic Education," on the evenings of { March 19 and March 26. The ap- | proximate attendance was 175 at the | first lecture, 50 at the second, 225 at the third and more than 300 people at the final meeting. Those in charge | of the series feel that this attendance indicated a splendid interest in edu- Cational matters, and entertain the { hope that Winnetka residents will not only do better for their children by way of education when the op- portunity arises but that they will i be instrumental in hastening the | coming of that opportunity. Winnetkans have spent hundreds {of thousands of dollars to save the country for the children, and it is expected they will be equally gener- ous in contributing toward the very best education of the children that | they may be worthy of the country | saved for them at so a dear a cost.

The Winnetka Woman's club gen- erously donated $30 toward the $300 needed for this special teacher.
