Lieber, of Win- netka, prominent lecturer on educa- tional subjects, spoke at the first meet- ing this year of the Vocational Super- vision league of Chicago, was held re- cently at the Chicago Woman's club. The Vocational Supervision league helps to keep in school poor children who would otherwise have to cut their schooling short and go to work to help support their families. In cases of this kind varying amounts of money, from $7 to $20 a month are contributed by the league to the family, and the child is allowed another year or so of schooling. Many north shore or- ganizations help in this charitable work and the Winnetka Woman's club con- tributes about $200 annually to this cause. During the week to their departure for Florida Tuesday, Dr. and Mrs. Delbert W. Poff of 739 Walden road have been entertained at dinner by friends and groups of friends every night, and Sunday a tea will be given in their honor.
