Pay Tribute to Elien M. Guiney When Jesse L. Smith brought the keenâ€"eyed, eager, charming and eapable school principal from Charâ€" leston, 111., in 1903, to teach in his newly acquired grammar school at Eim Place, she already had had an interesting and varied career. At sixteen she began to teach in a little country school, then in a priâ€" vate school, and later in the Charlesâ€" ton public schools. She had been postmistress of Charleston for sevâ€" eral years, and for four years assisâ€" tant state printer‘s expert in the state capital at Springfield. She was back in Charleston as principal of a grade school when Mr. Smith pPor:kudod her to come to Highland ATK. She is known as an astronomer, but she had wide interests, and had taught all subjects and in all grades. An unusually keen mind, coupled with a warm affection for, and a sympathy with children made her an effective and inspiring teacher, Quite early in her service here, she began to broaden her curriculum, and wise Mr. Smith gave her full scope in her chosen field of geoâ€" graphy and its allied sciences. Her earlier pupils ,having immeasurably less opportunity to extend their inâ€" terests, than did her pupils of later years, were delighted and led her on into the study of shells and rocks and earth and finally into astronâ€" omy. . For many years, however, she taught both geology and asâ€" tronomy as part of her geography work, along with other subjects. To those of us who have known both Miss Guiney and Mr. Smith, it is hard to remember one without the other. Both were travelers and research students. Both studied at universities and alike ,they took courses which enriched them and their pupils, but which did not bring recognition in the form of degrees. Both held to high ideals of scholarâ€" ship and moral standards. â€" Both seemed to feel that an education was a continuous adventure, a joyous journey into the infinite, and each was an ardent student to the end of life. Both found nobility in truth and kindliness and both saw beauty in the simple and the commonplace, and had the gift of imparting this insight ‘to others. § Miss Guiney was an idealist both for herself and her pupils.

VOTE FOR Call Today! held to high standards of scholarâ€" ship, she was broad of comprehenâ€" sion, and quick to recognize gifts of whatever value. Her réelation with children was a peculiar one. Discipline to most teachers presupâ€" poses a complete knowledge of puâ€" pils‘ faults, so that they may be corâ€" rected and the child taught to be good. She seemed rather to be unâ€" conscious of their faults, and they in turn seemed to be, unconsciously, perhaps, trying to live up to her standards. â€" She was a stimulating thinker and had a rich mine of accurate and pertinent information to draw from. She was an insatiate reader and read in all fields. She was simple in her tastes, modest in her needs, and happy in her books and her friends. She kept a strong intelâ€" lectual light burning in a changing and none too comprehending world. Decreasing physical energy in her later years made her seem to be less in contact with current living, but to those privileged to associate with her at all closely, she revealed an amazingly youthful glow of inâ€" terest in .everything around her. She loved Highland Park‘s chilâ€" dren and any news of or from any less in contact with current living, but to those privileged to associate with her at all closely, she revealed an amazingly youthful glow of inâ€" terest in .everything around her. She loved Highland Park‘s chilâ€" dren and any news of or from any of her old pupils was eagerly and sympathetically welcomed. Her love for teaching and for Elm Place was truly a holy thing, and because of it she gave of her energy long after she had very little to spare. It is hard to think of Elm Place without her and her grace and digâ€" nity. She was very happy over the children‘s gift of a telescope, and the building of the little obserâ€" vatory was the pride of her later years. But, infinitely more than that, she prided herself on the many beautiful student contacts which she had had along the years, and on the rich rewards in merital stimâ€" ulation which she had been privilâ€" eged to share.

Historic Hall on L. F. Campus Will Be Repaired Soon "Europe Today," . by Sherwood Eddy. College hall, historic old residence and recitation hall at Lake Forest college, is to be renovated this sumâ€" mer at an expense of approximately $15,000, President Herbert McComb Moore announced recently. _ Contracts have been awarded to J. T. Carp, Inc., Chicago, and to Kordick Electric Co., Winnetka. Work will be started about June 15, immediately â€" after commencement, and will be completed by the middle of August. Reconstruction will include fireâ€" proofing, steel and cement stairâ€" ways and a new main entrance. Last year the college spent $20,000 enlarging its library. College hall is the oldest building on the campus. When the college was reopened after the Civil war in 1876, the old Lake Forest hotel was used. In 1877 this building was deâ€" stroyed by fire and the following year College hall was erected. The bricks were made from .clay dug from the old "gym pond," now a hockey field, and burned in a kiln on the site of the present gymnasâ€" ium. Here ter the eolo ge; returns, What It Cc In 1878 the whole college was housed in College hall. The chapel was at one end of the first floor, the library at the other, and the president‘s office opposite the main entrance. On the ground and third floors were the science laboratories and recitation rooms. Quarters for the men students were in the fourth and fifth stories. Women lived at Ferry hall, which at that time was also administered by the university, as well as Lake Forest academy. College hall still houses laboratorâ€" ies and recitation rooms, but the physical equipment of the college now includes some 25 other buildâ€" ings and the number of students has increased from 14 to 360. ," by George Reh ere is a gfraphic â€"toâ€"day living ec behind the press unrest, dissensior sense of insecuri LIBRARY Italians conquered Ethiopia what have they got out of it? s an illuminating report from st motorâ€"tourist permitted to the colony.
