Award The Drum and Bugle Corps of Ev-| anston Post of the American Legion | came into its own last Thursday night | when it took first place and a prize of $100, in competition with ten other corps. The occasion was the second evening of the civic celebration and] carnival at Logan square, and all Le- gion drum corps in Cook County had | been invited to compete. Ten posts responded by sending their corps and the competition was the keenest. In one respect the contest differed sharp- Iv from others in which the local out- fit had taken part. Instead of placing the judges in the reviewing stand, where their presence would have been known to each corps, they were scat- tered along a three-mile line of march. Consequently, instead of relying upon special effort during the few minutes required to pass the reviewing stand, each corps was on the alert from start to finish of the long march. The extreme heat only added to the severity of the strain thus involved. Tha judees placed Evanston first with 92 points. The corps from Commonwealth FEdi- son post took second place, while third went to Chicaro Elevated. FEvanston's victory over Commonwealth Edison was keenly relished, for the Chicago outfit had taken second place in the conven- tion competition at Joliet in August. IN RADIO MUSICALES Two: north shore musicians, a con- tralto and her accompanist, are giving a series of Monday morning musicales of particular appeal to children. The artists are Fay Palmer Kreer of Win- netka and Dorothy Riley Brown of Kenilworth, vocalist and pianist. The series is broadcast from radio station WMAQ, at 9 o'clock, and is being re- | the use of books and Instruct Pupils in Effective Use of Public Library That children should be instructed in libraries as everyday aids is a well recognized fact in present day education, as suggested in WixNeETKA TALK last week. To this end a course is being intro duced into the Winnetka schools and this month every seventh grade class in its study of "Town and City Life" is devoting two days to lessons upon the classification and arrangement of the school library and the use of th card catalog. It is hoped to extend the instruction to the intelligent use of the resources of the Winnetka public library when it is again opened in the remodeled building. The schools appreciate the splendid co-operation and generosity extended by the Public Library board and the librarian in increased book collections loaned to the schools and in every other possible way. As practically all the libraries of the United States are classified and ar- ranged by: the same system, an under- standing of a small library is easily translated into intelligent comprehen- sion and use of larger collections later on; and this knowledge acquired now is of practical value to the student all the rest of his life. TEACHERS AT TEA The Woman's club of the New Trier faculty held a tea in the school mess-hall last Wednesday afternoon, at which a program of a social nature was enjoyed. At a meeting of the club recently, Miss Elizabeth Hadden was elected president ; Miss Eva Thorn, treasurer, and Miss Avaline Kent, so- cial chairman.
