TT 8 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1925 VACATION CLASS ENJOYS DUTIES Parish House Scene of In- teresting Activity The Christ Church Vacation school, which is now in its second week, is meeting with increasing success with the enrollment now reaching 27, in spite of the fact that a number of children have left with their parents on vacation trips. Handcraft, supervised by Miss Ar- delia King, has become one of the most fascinating features of the school for the children. The little tots in the kindergarten, even, are learning to use their fingers to create objects that satisfy their fancy and the primary children are producing handwork which would do credit to many an adult. Among the things which they have been working on during the past few days are some pretty water lilies in waxed paper, which float, and also ducks and dolls of the same material. The kindergarten children took espe- cial delight in fashioning bird-baths of clay and gilding them. Glass-holders, made in raffia, paper model bird houses on high supports and flowered pedestals, gift pictures to be sent to other children and notebooks of daily memory verses, with free illustrations are other developments. Miss Mable V. Holgate is in charge of the school and supervises the junior department, also. Miss Mary Wilson has the junior department and Miss Margaret Olson the kindergarten. Miss Ardelia King is in charge of handcraft. ; In addition to the handcraft, mem- ory work on Bible verses and hymns and free play, the school is attempting to develop a spirit of free expression among the children, fostering the de- velopment of right ideals and conduct and teaching as much as possible through activity, FOREIGN SCHOOL HONORS G. LUSK Awarded Philosophy Degree at Prague, Bohemia Word has just been received from Prague, Bohemia, of the conferring of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy on George Lusk, of Wilmette, brother of Milan Lusk, the violinist, by the famous Charles University of Prague, Czecho-Slovakia, June 22. George Lusk and a minister from Princeton University, S. H. Thomson, are the first Ameircan scholarship students to receive this degree from one of the oldest and best-known uni- versities in Europe. (The Charles University was founded in 1385 A. D.) As this was a significant occasion, the Czecho-Slovak Ministry of Education asked Lusk to make an address in Czech at commencement. In 'his speech, he extolled the great work of President Masaryk of Czecho-Slovakia who as a professor in America and Europe is held in high esteem among the students of both continents for his deep insight into social problems, and his humanitarian ideals. Mr. Lusk concluded by praising the efforts of those countries which are being brought closer together by means of intellectual bonds as in the case of scholarship students, and that the only hope for world peace and understand- ing lay in the interchange of cultural relations and in a love for humanity in general. George Lusk has had a remarkably brilliant scholastic career since he graduated as an honor student from New Trier High school in 1918, as the following record from the office of the registrar at the Chicago University shows: "George Lusk received the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy in 1922 and the degree of Master of Arts in 1923 from the University of Chicago. In addi- tion, at the end of his first year at the University of Chicago Mr. Lusk received honorable mention for excel- lence in Junior college work. At the end of his third college year, he re- ceived the award of Senior college scholarship in philosophy for excel- lence in Senior college work. When he received his bachelor's degree, he received also the award of honors for excellence in general scholarship, de- partmental honors in philosophy, and a graduate scholarship in philosophy. He was also elected to Phi Beta Kappa." In June, 1924, the Institute of Inter- national Education in New York awarded George Lusk a scholarship to study in Prague for one year and he has so distinguished himself during the past year in his studies abroad, that the scholarship has been extended to him for another year.
