"Among the ehild welfare services in which our supâ€" port progratm is interested," says Mrs. Taylor, "probably none affects so large a number of children, â€"norâ€" would assist so large & number, as bringing the définition and adminâ€" istration of Mothers‘ Pensfons in Tllinois into conformity with the reâ€" quirement for aid to dependent chilâ€" dren under the Social Security Mrs. Taylor, in making this the item for particular emphasis in the départment, states: "If you are troubled by the relief situation in Illinois, you will find this measure a step in its solution. If you are disâ€" tressed because dependent children are sometimes sent to state instituâ€" tions for delinquents because of inâ€" adequate county facilities for deâ€" pendent children, you will find this measure a partial answer. If you are grieved for widowed mothérs having to place their children in inâ€" stitutions because of inadequate reâ€" sources for the maintenance of home, this measure will offer the greatest solution. "Dependent children in your comâ€" munity should not be deprived of home care because of our lethargy in bringing to their aid the resourâ€" ces for which we are already being taxed to provide, nor because of vested interests in keeping the adâ€" ministration of Mothers‘ Pensions in one place or putting it in anâ€" other. As a "LEAGUE" our conâ€" tribution can be made in obtaining sound administration and adequate support for needed child welfare services." An tracing the history of Mothâ€" ers‘ Aid in Illinois from 1911, Mrs. Taylor finds some shortcomings. Beâ€" eause the Illinois law is permissive and because the financial support and administration are dependent upon the decision of each county,‘ the ldmllll:tratiou of this assistance has been "spotty." Some counties have .pp::trhud insufficient funds to carry out the purpose of the law. When in 1929 the legislature apâ€" propriated $500,000 for aiding gounties in‘ providing these penâ€" sions, the Department of Public Welfare aided first those counties best able to help themselves rather than the poorest counties. In 1931, this was in part remedied by providâ€" ing three subâ€"funds. A few counâ€" ties have never used this law. Durâ€" ’h\g the depression many counties stopped taking new applications. One of the grants offered to the state by the Social Security Act is for aid to dependent children. Illiâ€" nois cannot Aceept this offer until we amend our law making the grantâ€" ing of this aid mandatory on every county and transferring its adminâ€" Do you listen on Monday afterâ€" noons to the League‘s radio programs?

G. Mason, a former litâ€" erature teacher at Elm Place school who directed the Christmas play many times. "The Officers and Board of Diâ€" Mrs. Mason and her husband, while visiting in England a year ago last summer, had a very unique experience. One day at Lintoin she met Mrs. Constance Domvile, &n English woman who was also visitâ€" ing there. As Mrs. Mason was very much interested in the Christmas play, she told Mrs. Domvile about it and asked her if there was such n place as Bracebridge Hall. The English woman was very much surâ€" prised that an American school should give a play so decidedly English. She knew of no such place but promised to make inquiry and later let Mrs. Mason know what she found out. She, therefore, sent a notice to the London Times asking for inâ€" f-u:nâ€"fiumm About two months later Mrs. Maâ€" soh received a package from Engâ€" land.

Mrs. Paris, Irving writes: ‘Here, then, we passed a fortnight, during which the old hall was a complete scene of old English hospitality.‘ In another letter he described his host, Squire Rodes, as a man of great wealth, and greater eccentricity, who kept up the old usages, particularly at Christmas," In another Aruclemit udi.d., "Being representative of the oldest family in the neighborhood, and a great part of the peasantry being his tenâ€" ants, Squire Rodes was much lookedâ€" up to." A letter written by the keeper of the Aston Hall branch of the city nTnm said that the name Braceâ€" bridge was that of a family that at one time owned Aston Hall. "Aston Hall was sold by the Bracebridge family and was eventually acquired by the city and opened to the public by Queen Victoria in 1858. It is now a branch of the Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery." English festivity which he expeâ€" rienced at both halls which inspired Bracebridge Hall." Mrs. Domvile writes, "For his book he evidently pooled his experience but apparentâ€" ly Aston Hall, which was at that time about two miles out of Birmâ€" ingham and Barlborough Hall in Yorkshire are the two that he deâ€" seribed most closely." s > We certainly appreciate the time Mrs. Mason spent with us and feel, that &s members of the cast, we will now enjoy and understand the play more thoroughly than we would have otherwise.
