October 23, 1926 WINNETKA TALK TALKS TO SOCIETY Grace M. Ellfott of American School for Girls in Salonika Tells of Con- ditions and Work There Sewing was made easy, and a most interesting morning was spent by members of the Woman's society of the Winnetka Congregational church, at the meeting on October 20. Miss Grace M. Elliott of the Ameri- can School for Girls in Salonika, talked of her work there. She painted a vivid picture of the narrow, filthy streets in Salonika, filled with inhabitants per- forming their most intimate domestic duties as they visit back and forth visiting much as we do when we "go to the village." Donkeys jostle pedes- trians, and automobiles lurch down the crowded streets. And no woman in Salonika is allowed to sit on the front seat of an aute, much less think of driving one! The school Miss Elliott represents grew little by little following the Bal- kan war, when the missionaries were driven from their field and decided to teach English to a few children until conditions grew better. The school now boasts twelve boarders, 325 day pupils, and a waiting list of 300 who were turned away. Origmally located in the worst part of the city, the school has now moved to the outskirts, and has a lovely lo- cation. Miss Elliott told amusing and pathe- tic tales of housewifery in Salonika, how one woman served Epsom instead of table salt. She is a most devoted person, and together with her co- worker, Miss Nietzen, has adopted a little refugee. She emphasized the fact that the attempt was not to Americanize the girls, but to give them standards at- tainable in their own country, Following devotionals led by Mrs. Karnopp and the luncheon, Dr. Ernest Bourner Allen of Oak Park talked up- on "World Friendship." He began with the statement that "the personal elements in life are the richest," and closed with the thought that the world's problems are to be solved only by personal friendly contact. Dr. Allen pointed out the growth of the "International Mind" through business and educational cantacts, and through the World War. That this contact should be a friendly one he felt was the care of the church, and quoted Lloyd George, Mr. Morley, {and Elihu Root as agreeing that no agency has been so effective in cre- ating a better understanding among nations as foreign missions. "The heart of the Christian religion is its friendship," declared Dr. Allen. "Apply it to world problems and see what results." In closing he gave three definite sug- gestions as to increasing world friend- ship: first, train the children to this end; second, "follow the gleam," in other words the visions of the fore- see-ers, and third, respect the person- ality of others. : The Chicago Musical Arts quartet, consisting of Mrs. Sydnie Smith Cooley of Scott avenue, contralto, Evelyn Going, soprano, Rollin Pease, baritone, and Carl Craven, tenor and director, gave the opening concert for the Tues- day Art and Travel club at the Edge- water Beach hotel Tuesday. Mary Ruth Craven was the accompanist. CHARIS The garment that has taken the place of corsets by women the nation over.
