Adams A group of Winnetka women, Mrs. Robert Gay, Mrs. William Hale, Mrs. James W. Prindiville, Mrs. Charles Stacey and Mrs. Walter Strong, com- pose a committee on arrangements for a course of lectures to be given by Julie R. Adams five successive Tues- day mornings, commencing October 26. The talks will be given at 10:30 o'clock, at the home of Mrs. William G. Hib- bard, 840 Willow road. Miss Adams has returned from a summer's trip to Europe, and will em- bellish her talks on current events with information personally gleaned abroad. Her remarks will be taken from the pertinent events with which she came in contact while abroad. She will speak of her four or five weeks' stay in England, the most of which was spent in London during the most critical time of the coal strike. She was in Paris during the crisis of the franc, the fall of the Briand and Heriot governments, and the establishment of the present regime of Poincare, and got all the information she could ob- tain from newspapers of varying opin- ions. A fortnight of her time was passed in Geneva, Switzerland, the center of international study, where one meets people from all over the world. She gave a week of her time to the Geneva Institute of International Relations, of which she will speak in her first talk, and passed another week at Dr. Zim- mer's school where she heard lectures and discussions 'on international sub- jects in French and English. She noted with interest the changes that had been made in Italy in the Fascist government. This, Miss Adams says, was a difficult task, as "strict censorship makes the newspaper of no use, and discussions with strangers are unwise." She made a short trip to Germany, touching upon both the occupied and unoccupied zones, and spent three days in Holland. Catholic Club Program Given This Afternoon The Woman's Catholic club of Wil- mette is meeting this afternoon at xix Chestnut avenue. Under the auspices of the civics department, a debate on "The Enforcement of Law" will be given by John W. Langley and H. H. Johnson. Those assisting the hostess on this occasion will be Mrs. W. F. Krippe, Mrs. D. Coyne, Mrs. C. Englehardt, and Mrs. H. S. Klein.

McCor- mack, who spoke on "Problems of Adolescent Discipline." Mr. McCormack, a leader in educa- tional lines, explained that by dis- cipline he meant the ancient meaning of education, rather than the modern meaning. He felt that in considering questions of conduct it was necessary to avoid all general rules, since in the field of conduct it is necessary to avoid all general rules, for in the field of conduct, we are dealing with problems ° that cannot be settled in our souls. Mr. McCormack went on to say that "ethics can be learned but cannot be taught. We must possess the wisdom to be learned only through experience, and ethical truth has been reached only through religious experiences. It is advisable to cultivate the technique of will control. Parents can help by teaching punctuality as a spiritual practice. Self-control leads to the con- trol of others and is the key to the control of environment. " "The human sciences are expected to accomplish the same results as the physical sciences. The 'human sci- ences should not be expected to con- struct the future as too many variables are involved. The construction of free ethical personality should be the end in view." "The great problem is in the edu- cation of the emotions," Mr. McCor- mack emphasized. "We should en- deaver to construct the right kind of Alexander Sebald Will Play at Woman's Club On Tuesday, October 26, at 3 o'clock, the music committee of the Winnetka Woman's club will present Alexander Sebald in a violin recital.

Mr. Sebald had attained eminence in his profession in Europe even be- fore coming to America.
