Miss White gave a most interesting talk on the work being accomplished in Evanston in Americanization. The workers are all volunteer workers and the money for books is furnished by the D. A. R. Chapter of Evanston. Miss White rec- ommends "Foreigners Guide to English" by Bishgeturian. The Evanston Wom- an's club has a home class in Amer- icanization which is conducted by Miss White. "Miss Farrell then introduced Mr. Prim from the Bureau cf Visual Edu- cation. Mr. Prim spoke of the work of the Bureau, and distributed pamphlets giving the key to the procuring of de- sired films. These pamphlets can be se- cured at any time from the Society for Visual Education, 806 W. Washington Street, Chicago. The Bureau publishes a magazine called "Visual Education." Mr. Prim stressed the point of always insisting upon having, when renting or buying, noninflammable films. Such films are marked "safety" every few feet on the margin. ; > As the result of discussion, an impor- tant message has gone out to the Club departments of legislation. Let us try to prohibit the shipping of films that have failed to pass the U. S. censorship. Films unfit for our use are all going to foreign countries. Such films not only poison the minds of our neighbors but give the lie about normal American life. Our moral standards are judged by those films. The next meeting is to take place on February 1, at 2 P. M. at the home of Mrs. Farrell.

She announced that the next meeting of the department would occur on Thursday, February 7, at the time of the regular club meeting, the program to be announc- ed later. The program on Thursday was given by a very talented musician, Miss Olga Eitner, with Miss Harriet Prutzman at the piano. The whole program was de- lightful and pleased an enthusiastic au- dience. Miss Eitner has fine technique, which is so good that one is not con- scious of it. Her tone has a lovely, ap- pealing quality which is unusual. It was always clear cut, and equally as pleasing in the light staccato work as it was in that which demanded a big tone. Miss Eitner plays her music with good under- standing, and is possessed of much poise. Young and talented as she is, she has a very promising future. As Miss Eit- ner won in a recent concert in Chicago, she will play with the Chicago Sym-¢ ,epa & 5 1s a virtuoso but as a great teacher. His pupil, Miss Olga Eitner, was awarded first place among the violinists who recently played in the Young Artists' Contest, conducted by the Society of American Musicians.
