Write the Chairman of the Sub-Committee on the Judiciary Urging early and favorable consideration of the proposed Child Labor constitutional amendment. Write your own Serlftors and Con- gressmen.

"There were no spectators. There was no cheering, as the little proces- sion moved down the road following old glory to greater fields of endeavor. This group of people was merely car Forsake Little Red School for New Structure "Wilmette, take notice" reads the caption of a stirring little story that comes out of the west to Wilmette Life concerning a new schoolhouse and the formal entry into it just recently by a band of children. The term "west" should be qualified, for, the little school is situated a mile or so west of the north shore, that is to say on Avoca road, a bit west of Locust road, New Trier township.

And, as if to place a seal upon their arduous accomplishment, the three directors, Anton Thalman, Ber- nard Schildgen and William Boetsch, escorted the train. "After a brief ceremony in the As- sembly room, the school routine was again taken up with renewed vigor. , "Only those who have realized the tragedy of rural schools in these United States can know the inestim- able value to a community of a school- house properly built, properly ventil- ated and properly equipped. Only a teacher knows the relationship be- tween a pupil's morale and his physic- al comfort. Only a schoolmaster knows the effect of surroundings upon a teacher's efficiency. Thus, District 37 is marching on and New Trier Country school has become a vital force throughout the entire commun- ity.

Gilbert Stansell, pas'or of the Wilmette Parish Methodist church, spent the greater part of this week in Washington, D. C. where he attended the national convention of the Anti- Saloon league and witnessed the dedi- cation of the new Methodist head- quarters in that city.
