40 WINNETKA TALK June 25, 1927 Invite Children to Spend Part of Vacation at Museum The Field Museum of Natural History has issued an invita- tion to all parents in Chicago and sub- urbs to let it aid them in the solution of the problem of what to do with their children during the long summer vacation from school. Children are admitted free at all times, and the museum is offered as a children's headquarters where pleas- ure and education are combined, for the children of all parents who wish to avail themselves of its advantages. It is suggested that parents send their children to the museum regularly at least once a week during the vacation period. With Johnny, Jimmy, Alice or Jane at the museum each Monday, Tuesday, or whatever day may be se- Chicago children are safe and happy, out of danger from automobiles and other hazards of the streets. The children can bring a picnic lunch and eat it in the special children's lunch room, or they can buy food at the museum cafeteria. The museum is open from 9 o'clock in the morning until 6 in the evening. While at the museum, officials of the institution point out, parents will know that their children's time is be- ing profitably spent, that the children will be having a good time in the veri- table wonderland the museum ex- hibits provide for them, and at the same time will be learning things. During this time the parents can work or rest without worry as to their wel- fare. Another suggestion made is for parents going down town on shopping tours or other business, who do not wish to leave the children alone at | more than enough to keep them busy lected, parents can rest assured their | ar¢ urged to visit the museum during home, or playing on the streets, and | also do not wish to be burdened with | their care while in the city. They are urged to drop the children off at the museum on the way down, and call for them again on the way home. "Children are always delighted with the animals, the life-like Indians, and the strange tropical plants," declared D. C. Davies, director of the museum, in announcing the plan. "The huge skeletons of giant creatures from the past are a never ending source of wonder to them. There are so many different things to see that one trip is only a taste. Even when the children come regularly once a week there is and interested all day." The museum will provide guide-lec- | turers for groups of ten or more chil- dren if parents write to the director or telephone Wabash 9416. Adults also their vacations. N. A.

The cabin is provided for the use of Scouts, through the efforts of County Commissioner Oscar W. Schmidt of Wilmette, and other members of the board of county commissioners. The program will incude the introduction of the commissioners, of President An- ton J. Cermak, Ransom Kennicott, and Peter M. Hoffman, who has been in personal charge of the construction. The flag pole, one of the unique parts of the hike headquarters, is a tree, carefully trimmed and equipped, but still standing, roots and all. The various Legion posts of the north shore area are combining in the pur- chase of an American flag to be used at the headquarters. Scouts Will Participate The program will begin at 2:30 o'clock with "Assembly" sounded by a Scout bugler, followed by the invoca- tion, and the repetition of the Scout Oath. Then will come the presenta- tion and acceptance of the cabin, fol- lowed by the flag raising ceremony. This will be followed by the pledge to the flag and the benediction. Troops, under the leadership of their Scoutmasters will use the cabin. It will also provide opportunity for spe- cial winter camping and other year- round features. Mrs. Olaf C.
