February 11, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 43 Hubbard Woods Pupils Relate Story of Earth An illustrated review of the prob- able process of development of the earth and life on the earth from the very earliest stage to time in develop- ment known by geologists as the Trias and the Mesozoic periods, was given by pupils of Miss Ruth Damberg's fourth grade of the Hubbard Woods school last Thursday morning dur- ing the assembly period. The pupils outlined the theory of earth formation regarded as most plausible by scientists and demon- strated with charts and drawings the formation of the mountains and seas. They then discussed the probable cycle of life development and displayed pic- tures which 'they had drawn of the various animals inhabiting the earth at different periods. Particularly interesting to their au- dience were the pictures of dinosaurs which inhabited the earth at one time. These, the children explained, were reptile-like creatures that were ex- tremely large and took all kinds of shapes--some looking like a combin- ation bird and snake, some like a com- bination snake and alligator and others that had an appearance entire- ly different from anything or combin- ations of things we now have. "Land of Oz" Draws Large Audience of Winnetkans The Junior Leaguers who brought their "Land of Oz" to Skokie School auditorium Wednesday, from the Har- ris theater in Chicago, were greeted by a full house. The audience was, of course, largely made up of children, who kept their eyes wide open and glued on the stage, and were perfectly quiet except between the acts. Perhaps the outstanding character in the play was the small boy, Tip, played by Mrs. John R. Winterbotham. Miss Peggy Hambleton was the wicked witch and Mrs. Murray P. Brush, Jr., was the beautiful princess. The Tin Woodman, Mrs. John IL. Cochran, and the scarecrow, Mrs. Robert Morrison, made a fine team, that, with Jack, the Pumpkinhead, (played by Jean Logan), supplied much of the humor of the niece. The play itself was dramatized from the original story by Mrs. Charles Barnett Goodspeed. The success of the- play has been so oreat in Chicago that the players have decided to continue it for two more Saturdavs. instead of giving the last nerformance this morning, as had been planned.

At Woman's Society On Wednesday, February 15, a regu- lar meeting of the Woman's society of the Winnetka Congregational church will be held, During the morning sewing period, Mrs. Edwin E. Brown will talk about the organizations to which the society contributes during the year, so that the members will feel in closer touch with this important phase of their work. Miss Katsu Yonezawa of Kobe, Japan, will sing, and the devotional period will be led by Mrs. Stanley Far- well. Following luncheon at 12:15, Miss Isabelle McCausland, head of the social science department of the col- lece, will give an illustrated talk about Kobe college, a social force in the new Japan. Because it is interdenomina- tional in character, it is hoped that many women from the Episcopal church may attend this meeting. Kobe college has been called "a bulwark of international understand- ine." Tt is the only Christian college for women in western Japan, in a pop- nlation of 15,000,000 and the Empire has only one other of equal rank. To those who like to think in terms of interdenominationalism, this college will make an appeal, for nine denomi- nations are represented in the student hody and six in the faculty of 75 members, 80 per cent of whom are Tananese. The college was founded in 1875 as a primary school for girls. After be- coming an academy, followed bv the introduction of college courses, it was given in 1919 the title of "Daigaku" meaning "educational institution of hiochest grade." - Japan is now one of the oreat powers. Her people are alert, virile, astute, and progressive; in native ability they are said to be the peer of any other race. But 68,000 women in Tapan are working underground, 80 per cent of Japanese women in indus- try are under 20 vears of age, and their average working week is 63 hours, with only one or two holidays a month. By raising the status of womanhood, and thus of the entire population of the empire; by winning the profound respect of all Japan, especially of the official class; by creating intelligent Christian homes and by training wo- men as teachers and as leaders in social service, in bettering public health, morals, and industrial condi- tions, Kobe college proves her worth. VISIT NEWS PLANT The Business Girls' club of Win- netka is to have a lesson in "Journal- ism" at its meeting next Tuesday eve- ning, in the nature of a visit to the Chicago Tribune plant, where the members will obtain some first-hand information on how a daily paper is actually produced.
