Heating Contractors 16 Prouty Annex Winnetka Club This Sunday Miss Jane Addams, "The First Citi- zen of Chicago," comes to Winnetka this Sunday evening to address the Young People's club in the Neighbor- hood room at Community House at 7 o'clock. The Young People's club is an active and fast-growing organization of boys and girls of high school age. They meet each Sunday evening from 7 to 8, at Community House. At each meet- ing is either a speaker of distinction, such as Carleton Washburne, Mrs. James Fentress, or Hinton Clabaugh, whom they have heard this fall, or else the meeting is given over to a dis- cussion of some vital and stimulating topic which touches the lives or the interests of the members. These discussion meetings are led by one of the group who has informed himself on this particular subject but any member of the audience is wel- come to give expression to his opin- ions. A lively debate frequently en- sues, with majority and minority opin- ions strictly safeguarded by the rules of parliamentary law. The young peo- ple are thus encouraged to think straight on controversial subjects. At the same time they learn how to voice their convictions with courage, yet with courtesy, in a public meeting. These Sunday evening meetings are very popular with the young people and seem to prove of special interest to the boys, who are apt to predom- inate in numbers over the girls. At stated intervals the Young People's club gives a get-together dinner, and at each meeting refreshments are served. The club is run entirely by young people for young people, but it has in addition the friendly co-opera- tion of Chief J. W. F. Davies, the Rev. James Austin Richards, and the Rev. Thomas Goodwin. Any boy or girl of high school age is cordially invited to attend the meet- ings of the Young People's club. They are particularly urged to be present this Sunday evening at 7 o'clock, so that they may avail themselves of the very great privilege of hearing Miss Jane Addams, who is not only one of the most distinguished women in our country, but who is also regarded as one of the outstanding women of the world.
