- ---- TEAM ~ Mir AD ou 16 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1922 DANFORTH ORDAINED WITH SOLEMN RITES Large Audience Views Im- pressive Service \ "The ordination last Sunday of the Rev. Leland Hobart Danforth, curate of St. Augustine's Episcopal church. -- Wilmette, attracted a very large con- - gregation to the church. The Rt. Rev. Sheldon Munson Gris- wold, Suffragan Bishop of Chicago, conducted the ordination. The candi- date was presented by Rev. C. A. Cum- mings and other members of the clergy, including Rev. E. G. Hunter and Rev. Hubert Carleton, rector of St. Augustine's church, joined with the bishop in the "laying on of hands" ceremony which constitutes the actual ordination. \ The ordination sermon was preached by Rev. Carleton, who traced the orders in the Episcopal church,-- aN . Bishops, Priests, Deacons--from New Testament times. He urged the can- didate to persevere in the Christian faith which was intellectually satis- -. fying, morally stimulating and full of spiritual comfort. In conclusion he besought the laity to back up and up- hold their clergy. The musical part of the service was beautifully sung by the choir and congregation. The church was very attractively decorated in preparation for the Christmas festival. A delegation from Park Ridge, Ill. Mr. Danforth's home, was present for the ordination.

"Tong Distance" NY ELECTRIC WAVES 'Dunce' Suseeptitic to 'Jazz- ing Up," Belief London,--The 'dunce cap" of the future may become a symbol of intel- lectual advancement rather than the crown of educational opprobrium. By the simple process of electrifica- tion the headgear that once was an in- dication of stupidity or mental in- dolence may be transformed into an intellectual accelerator. It is the belief of Dr. Bernard Hol- lander, eminent specialist, that the brains of backward students may be effectively 'jazzed up" by the proper application of electric currents. "Brain waves" turned loose in a schoolroom, Dr. Hollander believes, will so stimulate the mental process of the dullards that they will soon be moving toward the head of the class instead of lagging along at the foot. In a recent address before the con- gress of the British Phrenological So- ciety Dr. Hollander described experi- ments which he declared had demon- strated the efficiency of electric cur- rents in stimulating mental endeavor. He expressed the belief that galvan- ism is applied to certain regions of the head, has the effect of improving mental power. Experiments he had conducted, Dr. Hollander said, resalt- ed in backward or indolent students succeding in examination in which they previously had failed. Discussing the subject of phren- ology, Dr. Hollander asserted that leading anatomists have acknowl- edged that "the skull is moulded upon the brain and grows with it." The size and shape of the head, he contend- ed, conforms for all practical purposes to the size and shape of the brain. Size of the head, however, is not Kenilworth Man Leader in N. U. Alumni Affairs Mark W. Cresap, 239 Essex road, Kenilworth, was named vice president of the Chicago Club of Northwestern University Men at the annual meet- ing of the organization last week. The organization, with a member- ship in the neighborhood of 1,000, is one of the largest, if not the largest, mens' alumni club of Chicago. GOV. ALLEN TO FIGHT ILLITERACY IN KANSAS Plans to Extend Educational Opportunities Kansas City, Kan,--Now that the time is nearing wnen ne will loosen his hold upon the executive reins of the = "Sunflower" State, Governor Henry J. Allen has started a drive which he hopes will ultimately stamp illfteracy entirely from the State, Not that Kansas' percentage of illiter- acy is necessarily high--in fact, a re- cent census revealed that it is only 1.6, compared with one other state which, the census showed, has a per- centage of 21.9. Governor Allen pointea out that the near future will see laws enacted by the State Legislature which will provide for a wider knowledge in the remote country districts--the towns, hamlets and villages . which are more or less segregated from the big indus- trial centres. Statistics compiled recently dis- closed that out of a total of more than 22,000 illiterate persons in Kan- sas above the age of ten nearly 21,000 were those of voting age. It was fur- ther revealed that of these illiterates 10,450 were of foreign parentage, and more than 4,000 are negroes, Native sons and daughters of Kan- sas point with pride to the fact that in the last twelve years there has been a decrease of 6 per cent in illit- eracy in their State, while census figures from several other States for that period indicate a slight in- crease in ignorance. During the World War, when men were inducted into the military ser- vice of the nation, the various tests to determine and sift out the illiter- ates revealed some significant figures as to the number of men throughout the country who were not even able to read or write their own names, ac- cording to Governor Allen. These tests revealed that 75 per cent of Am- erica's "flower of manhood" were among the mediocre intelligent, while nearly 25 per cent failed to pass the simplest tests and were classified as illiterates . The Governor expressed himself as hopeful that his efforts to increase the intelligence of Kansas' future men and women would have the sup- port of those who succeed him in of- fice and that they would "carry on" the battle to such an extent that Kan- | sas will within the next few years be an exemplary State--a patern of "better education."

Flickinger and members of the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts at a chapel meeting made public the lists. On the list for sophomore honors ap- pears that of Dorothy M. Scharf, 509 Cherry street, Winnetka, now a junior at Northwestern. Miss Scharf made a high grade last vear throughout her course at North- western, the average running near Y0 in all her studies. Therefore she has been placed on the honor list of the university and her name will be pre- served on Northwestern's records as one who worked hard and achieved well. PIGS ARE PASSE About ten years ago a health sur- vey in Philadelphia disclosed 40,000 pigs within the city limits. Today it is said that it is doubtful if one could find 40 pigs in the same area.
