Nr WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925 MARY TYRRELL LIBRARY SHOWS GOOD PROGRESS By MARY H. BAAR The activities of the Mary Williams Tyrrell Library of the Winnetka Con- gregational church for the past year have been so limited that there is very little material for a report. There are a number of readers who use the library regularly, but we believe it would be more generally used if more were known about it. There are about &0 bocks in the li- brary, in the general classifications of religion, philosophy, psychology, and sociology. Although the library has been hampered by lack of funds this year, a few new and noteworthy books were added, among them an important series of ten volumes on "Immigration," "The Americanization Studies," Papini's, "Life of Christ;" "Twelve Tests of Charac- ter," by Fosdick; "Human Nature in the Bible," by E. N. Phelps; "Goodspeed's Translation of the New Testament"; "Christianity and the Race Problem", by J. H. Oldham. This will give an idea of the kind of books to be found in the library. A gift of $100 has been made this year, and with the $50 donation from the Woman's society will permit many im- portant additions. A number of books on child psychology and child training will soon be purchased. One work on that subject has just been received--"The Child, His Nature and His Needs," published by the Children's Foundation. Everyone is urged to take advantage of the opportun ties which the library affords and thus encourage it's develop- ment. LAYMEN CONDUCT SERVICES Prominent laymen in the Winnetka Congregational church are conducting the mid-week meetings of the parish. The first of these special services was held Wednesday of this week when William Ayer McKinney gave the talk. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph W. Zimmerman of Sheridan road sailed January 22 for a month's trip to the West Indies. Hubbard Woods Children Present Play Next Week Hubbard Woods school will give its .one big dramatic program of the year on Thursday afternoon, February 5, at 4 o'clock, and Friday evening, February 6, at 7:30 o'clock. The evening per- formance is to permit parents to see the children's work. The play to be presented has been dramatized by the children from the story of "Old Pipes and the Dryad," by Frank Stockton. About 100 children will take part. Miss Douglass Whitehead, supervisor cf socialized activities in the elementary schools, is directing the play. Cooper- ating with her are Willard Beatty, lights and stage; Miss Lois Towne, of the Art department; Mrs. P. B. Kohlsaat and Mrs. Harriet Bach, music, and a committee of the Hubard Woods faculty including Miss Frances Pressler, Mrs. Mildred Hughes, and the Misses Mar- garet Wilson, Eva Cox, Sara Grace Rabwin, Blanch Herman. A small admission charge to cover expense of costumes and staging, will be made, since it is the policy of the dramatic department to make the per- formances self-supporting.
