Personnel Director L. B. Hopkins regards this showing as exceptionally strong, he told President Walter Dill Scott. In the second quarter are 28 per cent of the yearlings, in the third quarter 24 per cent, and in the lowest group this year only four per cent of the fresh- man appear. High school principals furnish reports upon standings and that 40 per cent of the Freshman class at Northwestern are the cream of the prep school yraduates this year, is re- garded by the university's authorities as unusually fortunate. Meanwhile registration at North- western is continuing. Liberal Arts is up 15 per cent over a year ago, with 2,100. The Engineering school with 183 is ahead of last year by nine per cent, with a likehood that the 200 mark will be reached; registration in the School of Speech is nearly 250, as compared with 237 last year, while music, commerce, engineering and all the professional schools downtown are reporting attendance increases of from 10 to 25 per cent.

Lieber, of Win- netka, prominent lecturer on educa- tional subjects, spoke at the first meet- ing this year of the Vocational Super- vision league of Chicago, was held re- cently at the Chicago Woman's club. The Vocational Supervision league helps to keep in school poor children who would otherwise have to cut their schooling short and go to work to help support their families. In cases of this kind varying amounts of money, from $7 to $20 a month are contributed by the league to the family, and the child is allowed another year or so of schooling. Many north shore or- ganizations help in this charitable work and the Winnetka Woman's club con- tributes about $200 annually to this cause. During the week to their departure for Florida Tuesday, Dr. and Mrs. Delbert W. Poff of 739 Walden road have been entertained at dinner by friends and groups of friends every night, and Sunday a tea will be given in their honor.
