WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1924 CHURCH UNITS BUSY AT WORK Congregational Church Bee- hive of Activity At the Winnetka Congregational church tomorrow morning, Rev. James Austin Richards will preach on the topic, "The Lost Heroism of Chris- tianity." The service begins at 11 o'clock, with processional by the girls' choir, the congregation joining in the processional hymn. During the period of the church service, young children may be left in the Assembly room of Community House, where they are cared for and entertained by the Chancel guila of the church. The Church school started its year's work with a large attendance and much enthusiasm last week. Families that have returned home this week are reminded of the fact that the school holds its sessions from 9:30 to 10:45 o'clock each Sunday morning, and includes classes for all ages of young people, as well as for men and women. The main school meets in the church auditorium, for wor- ship with the director, Dr. J. W. F. Davies, and at 10 o'clock the classes have their study work. The Primary department, with Mrs. Carrie B. Prouty as superintendent, covers the first three grades as they are in the public school. The opening service is in Rudolph Matz hall, and the manual work is done at tables in the gymnasium. Mrs. George Pearse has been made secretary in charge of all materials for this work; and with a good corps of teachers in this department, the work will be in- teresting to the children, and very worth-while, it is explained. The kindergarten, for the present, will accept children of four years of age; and the directors hope to plan for room to take in all the still younger children who are eager to attend. The Men's Sunday club meets in the American Legion room for its weekly discussions. The Women's class has adopted a program for the study of the Life of Christ, with a text-book for each mem- ber ,and led for the first month by Rev. Ralph Morphett. Mrs. Burton F. At- Wood is planing the 'pfograms, adn Mrs. -- "4 a Smith is membership chairman. / women not otherwise occupied at the Sunday morn#mp- hour are invited to attend the sessions of this class. The Young People's club, for high school students, is managed by a cabi- net df its members, and meets promptly at 7 o'clock on Sunday evenings. George Massey is the leader this week, and the question for discussion is to be "The Main Business of Life." Boys and girls "of high school age will find this a good chance to get acquainted, and to talk of some things of mutual interest. ETT] HIGH SCHOOL P. T. A. MEETS NEXT TUESDAY The first autumn meeting of the Par- ent-Teacher association of the New Trier Township high school will be held Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock at the high school auditorium. At that time the parents of the freshmen students will elect their division chairman. Superintendent Frederick E. Clerk, G. A. Harper, dean of boys, and Elizabeth E. Packer, dean of girls, will give talks on "Problems of Adjustment Freshmen Meet When They Come to High School." The manner and method that the incoming students have to apply in adjusting themselves to the new envir- onment and getting away from the closer discipline and supervision in the grade schools, will be explained. The Parent-Teacher association was organized last May. Clarence T. Mac- Neille of Glencoe is president of the organization; Mrs. James Porter of Glencoe, vice president; Mrs. Edgar Stevens of Kenilworth, secretary-treas- urer. The organization consists of four sections with a chairman for each group, which is made up of those parents hav- ing children attending high school that are in the senior, junior, sophomore and freshman classes. The upper-class group parents chose their chairman at the or- ganization meeting held last spring while the freshman group will select their leader at the meeting Tuesday. Mrs. George Gordon of Winnetka is chairman of the senior section; Mrs. Arthur Seibold of Wilmette, chairman of the junior section, and Mrs. George Pope, chairman of the sophomore sec- tion.
