WINNETKA TALK February 26, 1927 <li ap News of the North Shore Clubs | |F25| Woman's Club Plans Next Two Programs Julia Lathrop Comes March 1 to Give Talk and Margaret C. Banning Speaks April 5 Miss Julia Lathrop nationally and in- ternationally known, will be the speaker at the next regular meeting of the Winnetka Woman's club, to be held Tuesday, March 1, under the supervi- sion of the Civics and Philanthropy committee, of which Mrs. Edwin E. Brown is chairman. Miss Lathrop is well-known to Win- netka women as ex-president of the Illinois League of Women Voters. As former chief of the Children's bureau of the United States Department of Labor, Miss Lathrop became known throughout the country. Her subject at the Woman's club meeting will be "A New World Issue," and everyone is cordially invited to attend. Because of the wide interest there is in any message Miss Lathrop brings, and be- cause she is loved for her remarkable charm in addressing audiences, and the delightful humor she enlivens her subject with, the club has announced this meeting to be open, not limited to club members. Members of the Winnetka League of Women Voters are especially urged to be present. Former students and graduates of Rockford college are also urged to at- tend the meeting, for Miss Lathrop is a former student in the college. Miss Lathrop was toast-mistress at the dinner for more than 1,500 guests, given in honor of Miss Jane Addams, a month ago, and has been spoken of as Miss Addams has, as one of the nation's most distinguished citizens. Miss Lathrop attended a meeting in Geneva during the summer of 1926, of the newly organized Advisory Commit- tee of the League of Nations. She is planning to include something about that very interesting meeting in her talk March 1, and is expected to bring a message concerning Child Welfare. "The Lazy Thirties" is the title of an article in the February number of "Harper's" by Mrs. Margaret Culkin * Banning. This article has been the subject of much debate and argument on the part of suburban club women, and it has resulted in the engaging of Mrs. Banning as speaker for the Win- netka Woman's club program on April "The Lazy Thirties" is not so much a criticism of club women as it is an evaluation or expose of the life and ac- tivities of the average women of "sub- urbia age immaterial" Mrs. Banning is a fearless, radical thinker and critic. She is a Vassar graduate, a mother and club woman, and political leader her- self, and is the author of several books and many short stories in the current magazines. There will be later notice of the subject of her talk which will be under the auspices of the educatibn committee. The next D. A. R. meeting will be held on February 28, at the home of Mrs. Harry P.

McCordic, Woman's Club to Confer on Co-education Problem "Co-education versus Segregation," the problems and implications of the two systems, will be the topic of the last child study conference at the Winnetka Woman's club. Perry Dun- lap Smith, head master of the North Shore Country Day school, will be the speaker, and the meeting will be on Thursday afternoon, March 3, at 3:30 o'clock. Everyone who has been through high school and college, or anyone who has chosen a school or college for a son or daughter, realizes the problems of the two systems. There are advantages and disadvantages in both co-education and segregation. Mr. Smith is deeply interested in the question, and has worked out a unique system himself. His discussion of this topic will be a fitting conclu- sion of the series of child study con- ferences, which have considered "the intellectual and emotional needs of adolescence." This last conference will be an open meeting, as the others have been. _ The parents and teachers of Winnetka are very cordially invited to attend. The meetings have all been among the largest and most enthusi- astic in the club's history. They have more than demonstrated an interest in child study. They have shown a keen, definite response to programs which are presented by able speakers on subjects of new trends in psychol- ogy and progressive parent education.
