The resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote and copies of it will be sent to Senator Deneen of Illinois and Senator Borah, chairman of the Foreign Relations committee of the Senate. The meeting was then turned over to Mrs. Benjamin Pfeiffer, Chairman of the Committee on Education, who introduced the speakers for the day. Mrs. Maurice H. Lieber told us what the leagues in Illinois, under the aus- pices of the state league organization were striving for: 1st, larger funds from the State Treasury for common school education; 2nd, a simplified system for dividing the State into school districts; 3rd, a mini- mum eight month term for all schools in the state; 4th, higher standards of re- quirement for teachers. Floyd Goodyear, superintendent of schools in Chicago Heights, discussed, "School Revenue." With a few strik- ing figures he pointed out why educa- tion was a state function and not a school district one; why Williamson county, for instance, with $1,400 assessed property back of each child in. common school could not possibly provide what Will county with $80,000 back of each child could. Winnetka, he told us, spends $40 on each child but Brookport can afford only $18 per child per year. Mr. Goodyear advocates a larger state apportionment for education and a different basis for taxation in the state than the present personal and real estate property taxes. The Executive Board of the League held its regular meeting at Community House Tuesday morning prior to the general meeting with Mrs, Brown pre- siding over this meeting also in Mrs. Ferry's absence. The December meeting of the league will be in charge of the International Relations committee, Mrs, A. J. Boyn- ton, chairman, with the Multilateral Treaty as the topic for the day. Dr. Will Durant, the man who made philosophy as interesting as fiction, will speak Friday evening, December 7, at_the Skokie school under the aus- pices of the Winnetka League of Women Voters. Dr. Durant, when studying for the priesthood, came across a copy of Spinoza's "Ethics." That changed the course of his career, for he found in it, and in philosophy, his chief interest. He gave up plans for the priesthood and instead became a student, later a teacher and then a lecturer on philos- ophy. Then after eleven years of preparation and three years spent in writing, Dr. Durant published, "The Story of Philosophy." Because he knew, and his publishers knew, that philosophy was one subject about which the public knew little and furthermore considered it be- vond their grasp, Dr. Durant was sur- prised when the book became an immedi- ate best seller, going through edition after edition until within five months after publication more than 72,000 copies had been sold. The secret, according to the critics, is that for the first time, philosophy has been made alive and interesting, told in such a way that the layman can under- stand it. Thus Durant was discovered, and im- mediately was sought for magazine con- tributions and lectures. His success in that field rivals that in the publication of "The Story of Philosophy" for he brings to the same scholastic zeal the humanizing elements of wit and sym- pathy. Mrs. Randolph Buck, the chairman of the lecture for the league, has announced that the following women have consented to be patronesses: Mrs. Walter Benson, Mrs. O. M. Knode, Mrs. Carl Zeiss, Mrs. Sylvian Hirschberg, Mrs. H. L. Ickes. Mrs. Ernest Ballard, Mrs. Herman But- ler, Mrs. Emerson Blaine, Mrs. H.
