rR WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1923 OPEN MISSION SCHOOL HERE School Is Sponsored by Wil- mette Baptist Church The attention of the whole world just now is turned towards Japan. It is a matter of speculation in the minds of all the students of world affairs as to wheth- er the recent catastrophe will effect the diplomatic relationships with Japan or not. Surely the prompt relief from America should serve as a bond of friend- ship between these two naticns. At this timely season, the Wilmette Baptist church is to conduct a School of Missions, beginning Wednesday night, September 26, The school as conducted is under the direction of the Board of Promotion of the church, of which 'Miss Annie S. Beach is chairman. Courses will be offered for adults, for young people and for children. The adult class will be held on Wednesday evenings, with the exception of Octo- ber 17, from September 26 to November 7, at 8 o'clock, and will be taught by Professor Edmund D. Soper, Professor of Comparative Religions at Northwest- ern university. Dr. Soper was born of misionary parents in Japan, has made recent travels in Japan, and is the author of the most authoritative recent works in English on comparative religions en- titled, "I'he Religions of Mankind." Dr. Soper is not only a profound scholar but a charming and popular teacher. The adult class will use as a basis for its study, a new book put out by the Mis- sionary Education Movement entitled, "The Creative Force in Japan," by Galen M. Fisher. The Young People's class will meet on Wednesday evenings--the same dates as the adult class--and will be led hy Mrs. W. Carey Matthews, who took a special course in normal training at the Lake Geneva Missionary Education con- ference this past summer in preparation for her work. The young people will use the book entitled, "Japan on the Up- ward Trail" by William Axling, just off the press of the Missionary Education Movement. The Children's course will be held on Wednesday afternoons at 3:30 o'clock, and will be under the direction of a corps of competent instructors. Object lesson work, pictures, and other modern methods of child teaching will be em- ployed. The book to be used will be that recently published by the Mission- 'ary Education Movement entitled, "The -Honarable Japanese Fan," by Margaret Applegarth. : ~All of the sessions of the school are "open to anyone who desires to enroll 'and there is no matriculation fee.

Mean- while Directors George Huff of II- linois and Dana Evans of Northwest- ern have discovered that by re-ar- ranging the gridiron somewhat at each end there will be practically no abridgement of distance behind either goal-line save at one side of the field. This slight cutting-off will not be over two yards at its most and will taper quickly into regulation distance so that neither team should be em- barrassed to any extent. Tickets are still going at a good rate, according to E. B. Davidson, ticket manager of Northwestern Uni- versity and Charles Ward, secretary of the alumni association. Illinois alumni have been sending in for seats at a lively rate, Mr. Davidson states, and now that the game is clinched for the Cubs park, Northwestern grads in large numbers are asking for reservations. A feature of the pro- spective football season at Northwest- ern, according to Mr. Davidson, is the practice of an increasing number of Purple alumni to reserve tickets for the home games for the entire season. "Our alumni are discovering," ex- plained Mr. Davidson, "that this prac- tice insures them good seats for each and every game. Some of them want the same seats for all games and by reserving seats for a season, they ob- tain just what they want, avoid get- ting caught in the crowds at each game and have the assurance that they will have no trouble in reaching their places. 'Seats in the alumni section, however, are reserved until Thursday prior to each home game but it is easier if our thousands of grads would reserve for the season and thus insure the Purple team ade- quate backing for all its contests."
