XIV, NO. 47 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, JANUARY 30, 1926 PRICE FIVE CENTS WOMEN TO VIEW MOVIE ON MOTHER-CHILD CARE League of Women Voters to Hear Illustrated Lecture by Famous Welfare Worker A movie entitled, "Well Born," will presented at the meeting of the Winnetka League of Women Voters Monday, February 8, at Community House. Mrs. Charles Strong, chair- man of the Committee on Child Wel- fare, is in charge of the meeting and has secured as speaker Miss Sara Place, superintendent of the Infant Welfare society of Chicago and Presi- dent of the Illinois State Nurses asso- ciation. The subject of Miss Place's talk will be the need of better protec- tion for mothers and babies in Illinois, including a discussion of re-appropria- tion under the Sheppard-Tower act. This act provides for education for mothers in better care of themselves and their babies, and in the need of proper medical care and supervision before and at maternity. This instruc- tion is given to mothers by physicians and nurses in classes, clinics and baby stations, and by carefully prepared literature through the co-operation of State Child Hygiene divisions and the Federal Children's bureau. The ser- vice is entirely voluntary and the ben- fits are acessible to any woman at her request. If this act were passed, Illi- nois would receive from the Federal government, which co-operates in this matter, $53,739 to be used in this way during the next two years. The bill has been before the Illinois legislature for some time.

There have been five classes in Community House this winter, and owing to the excellent teaching, and the regularity of the at- tendance of both the teachers and the pupils, the progress made has been quite marked. The experiment was tried this year of obtaining teachers from the public schools of Winnetka and paying them for their services, and the plan has worked out with muél' success. For several years previous to this time he work has been carried on by volun- ceer help. Six teachers from Horace Mann school, the Misses Hartwell, Nether- cott, Anderson, Ducker, Payne, and Le Bo, were willing to undertake this work, though with considerable effort to themselves, and have given a fine opportunity to the classes. They have been teaching two nights a week for this first half year, but for the next term they will only be able to hold one class each week on Monday evening at 8 o'clock. Payment of an extremely moderate fee provides the pupil with his own book. New pupils will be wel- ~ome. Those who are already enrolled will continue their work for the rest of the year. The teachers are rendering a real service in the work they are doing. Mrs. William Moulton has for a number of years been very helpful to Community House in promoting and carrying on this work and has given untiringly of her interest, time, and fine teaching ability to this bit of service. Community House feels deeply indebt- ed to her for her fine co-operation. She has general supervision of this work and can be reached for information regarding the classes.

Tkeda, principal of a large high school for boys in Kobi, Japan, was the guest of Principal Willard W. Beatty of the Skokie school for three days last week. While in Winnetka he visited the public schools and also New Trier High school, and was much impressed with the modern methods of instruc- 'ion employed here. Interesting glimpses into the schools of Japan were given by Mr. Ikeda. He said that the grammar schools were much the same as those in this coun- try, but that the period of compulsory education covers only six years. In the high schools, he said, only those who pass the entrance examinations with a high grade are admitted and that the boys and girls are not grouped together in the schools. Mr. Ikeda has visited schools all over the country re- cently, as well as in Europe, and is very much interested in American methods of education. Skokie Pupils to Select Editor for "Journalist" The Student council of Skokie school which has been debating for the past two weeks the re-organization of the "Journalist," school publication, de- cided Wednesday to provide for the appointment by the president of the Student Body, Jane Copthorne, of an editor-in-chief. The appointment must be confirmed by the Student council, and as soon as an editor is chosen, which will probably be next week, he may appoint his own assistants. The purpose of the foregoing plan of the appointment of an editor is to draw from a wider range, and also to pro- vide continuity of policy, as the editor will serve for a year. "CONFERENCE NIGHTS" PROVE POPULAR HERE Experts on Religion and Educa- tion Deliver Addresses at Community House Judging from the interest displayed at the first of the six Conference nights held last Wednesday evening at Community House, the second meeting next Wednesday" will be even more largely attended. Dr. Harris F. Rall of Northwestern university will continue his discussion of "What Has Evolution Done to Re- ligion" by a lecture on "Does Evolu- tion Leave Room for God." Each of Dr. Rall's evenings will be complete in itself, so that those who were un- able to attend the first Conference will find a full measure of stimulating thought in his second lecture. In speaking of the point of view which which he is trying to develop, Dr. Rall said: "We all realize that the subject of evolution has caused much perplexity for many people in their re- ligious thinking. In this series of meet- ings, we hope to get many of these questions otit into the open. There are people who feel that such questions cannot be asked in the church. They hesitate to have them squarely and honestly and frankly discussed. Churches Face Questions "That may be true of some churches but not of all. There are churches that realize that just these questions have to be faced, and faced not by calling men heretics or telling them to prav, but by honest thinking and real dis- cussion. That is what these meetings are for. If religion is a superstition, an outworn theory, then we want to know." Mr. Beatty's meetings have been the subject of wide interest and much dis- cussion. Next Wednesday evening, Mr. Beatty will take up the theme : "How We Acquire a Moral Sense." It is to be a study of the share which society bears in developing the sense of right and wrong in the child, and will be of interest to parents and to teachers alike. New Values Found The course by Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin on "Discovering New Values in the Bible" reaches its second stage Wednesday evening with the theme, "The Timelessness of the Bible." Rev. Goodwin is leading his group through a study of the sources of the Bible in an attempt to determine what its con- temporary values may be. Dr. Davies' group which is discussing +he practical application of Christian ideals and principals to "The Race Problem in American Cities, Especially Winnetka" had a most interesting re- view of the subject last Wednesday, and will continue with the presentation of opinions on specific problems which have been offered. Those interested in determining whether Christianity can have specific application to practical, ~resent-day problems will find much food for thought as well as interest in these discussions. There is no charge for six Con- ference nights. Supper is served at 6:30 o'clock. The three first groups meet at 7:20 o'clock, and Dr. Rall de- livers his lecture at 8:15 o'clock.
