Already a few riders have tried the path, and as the weather becomes more suitable it is expected to become one of the notable paths in this vicinity. It is finished now from West Rail- road avenue south, first on one side of the canal and then the other, to Foster avenue, and the stretch from Foster to Lawrence is expected to be com- pleted soon. This makes a six-mile path, for which protecting fences are now being built. The land bordering the path is to be landscaped this spring as part of the beautification of the Sanitary dis- trict property. Fences are now being built along the path where the ditches are deep, and every means is being taken to protect the riders at street intersections.

Groves, chairman of the Evanston chapter of the Mary Crane Nursery Auxiliary, with ten members of this group visited the Mary Crane Nursery school at Hull House Monday, March 12. During March and April groups from the Auxiliary are alternating Monday afternoon work meetings with a Mon- day spent at Mary Crane to observe the work which is being carried on. there by the National Kindergarten and Elementary college in the Mary Crane Nursery building at Hull House. The Auxiliary, which is a growing Evanston and north shore organiza- tion, has as its motive a close co-op- eration with National Kindergarten and Elementary college in supplying the needs in garments and equipment for this Hull House group of children. Each Auxiliary member is anxious to have first hand acquaintance with the Nursery School program of education. The fifty children in the Nursery school are divided into two groups, a nursery group, ages two and three years, and an older group of four and five year old children. All of these children come from the Hull House community and are from the poorer classes of society. The daily program consists of varied activites and is con- ducted on an all-day basis with a wholesome dinner at noon and an afternoon rest period followed by out- door play. The doors of Mary Crane are opened at 7 o'clock in the morning and often children remain till long past the 5 o'clock closing hour to accommodate the working mother. Retain Specialist Miss Nina Kenagy, director of the school, a graduate of National Kinder- garten and Elementary college is a specialist of very wide experience, hav- ing studied with Dr. Bird Baldwin of the Iowa university School of Educa- tion in the Child Welfare station and has conducted similar work in San Francisco. She is a faculty member of National and resides at Hull House where she is assisted by two National graduates. A day at Mary Crane is a valuable experience for any one interested in the educational policies and practices for children of nursery school and kindergarten age, as well as in Parent- hood Education which is a very im- portant part of Miss Kenagy's pro- gram. Because the mothers are illiter- ate and non-English speaking, there is a great need for instruction in home making, including housekeeping, cook- ing, sewing and care of the children. The value of this aid given to mothers and fathers, plus the assistance in early habit formations for their children, cannot be over estimated. A moving picture of the Mary Crane Nursery school was taken recently and was shown last week-end at the La Salle hotel at the Better Homes Ex- hibit. On Wednesday, March 28 at 2 o'clock Miss Nina Kenagy and her as- sistants are to be hostesses at the Na- tional Kindergarten and Elementary college to the Auxiliary and their friends when the film is to be shown in Harrison hall.
