H. A. LORING ~ SPEAKS FEB. 14 Children To Hear Lecture on Indians {Harold A. Loring, assisted by 'a Sioux Indian in native costume, will be the center of attraction at Winnetka schools on Valentine's day, February 14. Mr. Loring was appointed by ex-president' Roosevelt to visit the Indian tribes and to record their mu- sic and legends for the United States. Twelve years was spent in the work. Fascinating accounts of Indian cus- toms and folklore and illustrations of their songs on the piano, will make up the greater part of Mr. Loring's program on February 14. The engagement of Mr. Loring and his Indian assistant is one of the steps of" the Winnetka school ad- 'ministration's policy of securing the very highest type of entertainment, that is also of educational value. On Thursday morning the first pro- gram will be given at the Greeley school: 'A somewhat longer 'and more varied entertainment will be given at the Skokie school at 11 o'clock. At 1 o'cloek Mr.-Loring and his assistant 'will go to the Horace Mann school land at 2:15 they will appear at the Hibbard Woods school. Special arrangement of classes will be made at all the schools so that all the pupils may have an oppurtun- ity of enjoying the entertainment. Adults may also attend the lectures, the one at Skokie being especially em- phasised because of the capacity of the auditorium. Tickets are being sold by the principals of the schools at a very nominal cost.
