Ny February 18, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 35 At Woman's Society Much publicity has been given lately tc Kobe college, at Kobe, Japan, and the interest of the members of the Women's society of the Winnetka Congregational church was greatly in- creased last Wednesday upon hearing Miss Isabelle MacCausland, a member of the sociological department of the college, speak on that subject. Miss MacCausland discussed in gen- eral the problem of Japan, and the determined, courageous manner in which Japan is attempting to solve these difficulties. The tragic condi- tions in business, the inability to re- cover after the last terrible disaster, the drinking question, the licensed vice, and many other subjects were touched upon by Miss MacCausland. But over and over she spoke of the "carry on" spirit which dominates the Japanese. Her mission in this country, Miss MacCausland says, is for the purpose of raising money for Kobe college. The goal set is $1,000,000 and $700,000 is to be raised in America, Japan rais- ing the balance. The need is urgent, she says, as the college has outgrown its present quarters and must have larger and better opportunities for further development. This college, founded in 1875, was the first woman's college in Japan. There are only two others now, in a country of so many millions of in- habitants. The campus consists of only three acres. However, the wo- men of Japan, interested in the col- lege, have purchased eighteen acres for the new campus. The college being Christian in char- acter, non-sectarian in control, and international in service, all denomina- tions are co-operating in this drive for the necessary funds to accomplish this much needed improvement. The board of directors consists of eight Americans and five Japanese. Japan is definitely connected with the League of Nations, whose influence has swept the country. Miss MacCausland closed her ad- dress with the quotation, "For webs begun, the gods always send the thread." Miss Katsu Yonezawa, a graduate of the school, who is studying music here, sang several Japanese songs very sweetly. Girls Offer Feature Events in Swim Meet Saturday, February 11, as a special feature of the New Trier boys' swim- ming meet with Oak Park, the girls' championship diving was held.

Helen Gerlach was second, with a swan, a back twist, a jackknife, and a back sommersault. Third place was won by Florence Nel- son. It was an interesting feature, and quite unusual in a boys' meet. Ornithologists Schedule Bird Hikes This Spring The Ornithologists' club of New Trier High school met Monday, Feb- ruary 13, to discuss plans for a bird hike. This club was organized for the bird lovers of New Trier, and its mem- bers have taken up bird study in its different phases. Several of the mem- bers are licensed bird banders, and others have shown their interest in the tiny feathered friends in other ways. The club, since its foundation several years ago, has proven itself a success, and adequate to bind together and further the interest of bird lovers. AT VOTERS LEAGUE LUNCHEON The members of the board of Dorcas Home attended the luncheon given Monday at Community House by the Winnetka League of Women Voters. After luncheon a board meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Frederick Thomas, 680 Walden road. Routine business was taken care of. | 4 i Mrs. Thomas.
