DISCUSS HEW THEORIES IN EDUCATION AT CONFERENCE Dr. Frances Horwich 8'a million students on Din; theories in education with Mrs. Dorothy Virgens, both educators' conference. (Miss Frances, who taught I Doug school), discusses new Mrs. Susanna Marshall and ol' McHenry, at a state-wide New theories in were discussed at a conference attended Susanna Marshall, education state-wide by Mrs. 3617 W. and Mrs. Dorothy Virgens, 3307 Fairway drive, McHenry. Mrs. Virgens, area manager for Field Enterprises Educational corjxjration, reported that research shows 50 per cent of adult intelligence is achieved by age 4, and 70 per cent by age 8. "This is one of the reasons," said featured ' speaker Dr. Frances Horwich (Miss Frances, hostes^ on more than 1,900 Ding Dong School programs) "that Project Head Start was so badly needed, and why it will be expanded next year." "Later is too late," continued Dr. Horwich, "because the child's greatest hunger is the need to know. He must learn about himself and the world." "More than one-third of American first-graders repeat ASSOCIATION FOR RETARDED SHOWS COLORED MOVIE • acquaint with the girl can life. The Friday evening, Jan. 21, at 8 p.m. there will be a showing of a film at the J^ion Lutheran church at 4206 W. Waukegan (Route 120), McHenry. This evening of education by film is presented by the McHenry County Association for Retarded Children to people in the county help that a retarded gain in an institution film is a colored sound movie produced at St. Mary of Provid e n c e s c h o o l a t 4 2 0 0 N o r t h Austin avenue, Chicago, showing cottage life, classroom work, playground and special activities in the setting for 200 resident mentally retarded girls. St. Mary of Providence school opened its doors forty years, ago to create a world where $?ho handicapped girl will be able to feel at home, as she can never feel in the world of usual people; where she can make friends; and where she can learn ~to pray, study and play. As all residential facilities, the "school is filled to capacity and has a waiting list for acceptance, however, those interested in the welfare of the retarded need to know what help can be obtained in schools such as this so as to plan the future for those who need guidance in their entire life. The Lutheran church has offered facilities for the showing of this film and it is hoped that people from all of McHenry county \vill take advantage of this |neans of seeing the way in which St. Mary's school is opening the doors to a happy home for mentally retarded girls. that grade because they have not learned how to read." Mrs. Virgens said Dr. Horwich stressed the importance of books in the home, believing that "the feeling for books is caught, not taught." She believed that books can de-L light, entertain, and inform both children and adults. In a house where a child sees both parents reading, he becomes interested in books and ideas much more easily. Mrs. Virgens reported all educators attending the De- Kalb conference agreed that answering a child's questions promptly and accurately was essential. Studies also show that a four-year-old may ask from 70 to 95, questions a day. "BE AN ANGEL" IN 1966 DRIVE FOR FINE ARTS Theater has always needed its "Angels" - those anonymous financial saints who foot the theatrical bill until the 'production flops or flourishes, as fate would have it. The. Woodstock Opera House, being no different from Broadway in this sense, needs not one, but scores of angels. Operating on the theory that many drops of water will eventually launch the ship, the Women's guild of the Woodstock Fine Arts association has christened its 1966 Membership Drive - "Be An Angel". Last year's members, and prospective new ones, are being asked to enlist in the heavenly corps of theatrical angels who, by purchasing a membership, will become financial backers to such varied fare as "An Evening of Sacred Music", "Hansel and Gretal", and a current "Creative Living Series" of six morning programs on Archaellogy. Drama, Poetry, Folklore, Architecture and Literature. Mrs. Charles Wright, president of " the Women's guild, points out that the membership fees also finance the vast mailing list needed to inform the many friends of the theater of the various productions, cultural and civic events taking place in the Opera House this year, in addition to furnishing the stage with flats, lighting equipment and the myriad small assistances needed to raise the curtain any production. People are needed to help with staging, lighting, publicity, directing, acting, singing and promotion of this year's programs.
