In place of holding its regular meeting at the Winnetka Woman's club, as is customary, the league met in the city, and spent the entire afternoon at the society's headquarters. In addition to the displays and ex- hibits arranged in the rooms, includ- ing the Lincoln room, Miss Macll- vaine entertained the group with lantern slides and an inspiring talk concerning the work a historical so- ciety has in Americanization work. Her enthusiasm regarding the place a properly functioning historical society has in a city was impressed upon the audience, for she feels that the value of knowing the background of a city like Chicago makes the newcomer and the old comer who is ignorant of his city's history, appreciate the city. Foreigners coming to this country are impressed with the apparent pros- perity of the individual, Miss McIl- vaine said, but a trip through the his- torical society's rooms tells the story of the struggles and obstacles which had to be overcome by the pioneers, from whom the wealth of the city was originally established. These evidences of hardships inspire one to have cour- ace and patience and are valvable in the aopreciation of Chicago today, she stated. Miss McIlvaine also made a plea for the establishment of a fund bv the board of education to have lecturers speak at all of the public schools, tell- ing the thrilling stories to be found in the relies of historv which have been collected into one splendid group. She said that certain teachers and schools, the North Shore Country Day school in particular, were loyal to the "once- a-year" visit, and these children were gaining a familiarity wth the treasures, but the group is limited. The next meeting to be held by the league will take place Tuesday, March 8, at the Winnetka Woman's club. Announcement is also made of the next book talk to be given by Mrs. Anthony French Merrill before the league and guests and friends. Mrs. A. Roth of 246 Sheridan road, Winnetka, will be hostess.

Club Holds Child Study Conference Next Topic at Woman's Club to Be Thursday on Emotional Needs of Adolescence "The Emotional Needs of Adoles- cence" will be the subject of the third child study conference at the Winnet- ka Woman's club Thursday, February 24, at 3:30 o'clock. This topic will be discussed by Miss Ethel Kawin, psy- chologist at the Institute of Juvenile Research. Miss Kawin is a splendid speaker and has had several years of experience in behavior work with.chil- dren. She is, therefore, eminently qualified to discuss so vital and impor- tant a subject. The first of the Child Study confer- enced under the education department of the Winnetka Woman's club, was held at the clubhouse, Thursday after- noon, February 10, at 3:30 o'clock. Mrs. S. George Levy, chairman of the education committee, explained that there was a definite continuity of thought and interest in the four topics selected for the study of Adolescence and that the talks followed in a con- secutive way. "Personality Adjustment," the first topic for study, was discussed by Miss Frances Dummer, psychiatric social worker, doing individual adjustment work for the Winnetka public schools. Miss Dummer said in part that person- ality is determined by our individual reactions to the type of thing that gives satisfaction. Behavior is controlled by personality. There are three means of trying to correct behavior in children, the first is by coercion or the use of force, the second is by alteration of environment, and the third is by the substitution of some other satisfaction that will be acceptable. This last means of contact is what is called per- sonality adjustment. Types of person- ality are established very easily in life and the child should be given the right kind of satisfaction before the adoles- cent period as it is much harder to change the satisfactions of the older child. We must all be educated to the necessity of avoiding re-adjustments by correct guidance of the child in its early development. The meeting was opened for discus- sion and many questions were asked and answered. Tea followed the meet- ing. The second conference was held yesterday. Frederick Clerk, principal of New Trier High school, spoke on "Intellectual Needs of Adolescence." These conferences have had a very large attendance. They are open meet- ings, to which the parents and teachers of Winnetka are most cordially invited. They have been arranged by the edu- cation committee, Mrs. S. George Levy, chairman; Mrs. Alfred S. Alschuler, Mrs. Walter Fisher, Mrs. James F. Porter and Mrs. George D. Smith, as members.
