Miss Harry is principal of the lower school at Horace Mann school, and Miss Casey, who was principal of Greeley school last year, is in charge of the English department of the Department school at Horace Mann. No date has been set for the weddings, but they will both probably take place at the close of school next June. oe 0 Mr. and Mrs. John R. Leonard and their daughter, Miss Mary Elizabeth Leonard will be at home at "Wildacre", Winnetka, New Year's Day from four to seven o'clock. The tea will be followed by a supper dance for debutantes and their escorts. o& The marriage is announced of Miss Mary C. Taylor, daughter of Mr. M. C. Taylor of Rochester, N. Y., to Mr. Francis Holland, Jr, of Winnetka, on Saturday, October 23. Mr. and Mrs. Holland are making their home in Detroit, Mich. bh 4 A regular meeting of the Winnet- | ka Woman's club will be held on Thursday afternoon, November 4. The program is incharge of the Edu- cational committee, and they an- nounce a lecture on Visual Educa- tion by Professor Rollin D. Salis- bury of the University of Chicago. This is a very unusual opportunity to obtain information about an edu- cational! system which is attracting wide-spread interest all over the country. It has already been adopted by the public schools of Evanston, Illinois, and Detroit, Michigan. Prof. Salisbury's talk will be illustrated by films. In speaking of Visual Education Superintendent C. W. Washburne says: "Visual Education, which subject of Professor Salibury's Wom- an's club address, is a phase not yet well understood by most people out- side of the educational world, It has been recognized for a long tithe 'by educators, however, that present day education does not give the chil- dren sufficiently vivid pictures in connection with either geography or history. Children read books and learn facts so that they can answer questions in recitation or examina- tion, but little is done in most schools toward, making the facts real. The chief aid in making history and geo- graphy live is in various types of pictures. Plain pictures are good, but not nearly as vivid nor as inter- esting as either motion pictures or stereographs. The Society of Visual Education , composed of education- al leaders from all parts of this coun- try, has been specializing in prepar- ing educational moving picture and lantern slides and co-operating with the manufacturers of stereographs for school use. "Visual Education" is not a fad. It is a big step forward in the meth- od of education. It is a step from merely remembering words to under- standing the realities of history and geography." i The opening meeting of the Study class of the Missionary department of the Woman's society of the Con- gregational church, held at the home of Mrs. L. Harrison Mettler, was well attended and proved to be a most delightful one. The program consisted of a group of Brahm's waltzes, by Miss Clara Harsch, pian- ist; an illustrated talk on "Africa", by Mrs. E. E. Brown; a talk on "India" by Mrs. William Ayer Mc- Kinney; and a group of three songs by Mrs. C. E. Karstrom. ii In recognition of her excellent ad- ministration Mrs. H. Hathaway Wat- son of the Indian Hill club was re- elected president of the Women's Western Golf association at the an- nual meeting yesterday at Mandel's. Reports indicated that the season had been one of the most successful in the history of the organization, an outstanding feature being the strong representation of the W. W. G. A. in the women's national champion- ship at Cleveland. fone Mr. and Mrs. Charles Walcott Hubbard and their two sons, of 849 Foxdale avenue, are leaving on Fri- day for Honolulu, where Mrs. Hub- bard and the children will spend the winter.
