CLUBS TO GIVE PLAY "The Little Poor Man" to Be Presented at Community House by Drama Club and Congregational Group Just at present, the Winnetka Com- munity House is the scene of great preparation for the forthcoming pro- duction of "The Little Poor Man," which is to be presented June 8 and 9 by the Winnetka Community Drama club and The Young People's club of the Winnetka Congregational church. Many workers are getting into smocks and overalls and trying their hands at painting scenery. Three set- tings are needed for the play; and these are being designed by Mrs. L. A. Sherman. One of the sets is a very elaborate scene which pictures the square of Assisi. There are shops and houses and a fine old cathedral, into the dimness of which the merchants and travelers go for meditation and prayer. There is also a fountain in the square, and it will spout forth real water, which is quite a stage achieve- ment. Then, of course, the cast is very busy rehearsing with their director. They are really the core of the pro- duction, and their acting and charac- terization must be as nearly perfect as possible. The cast is a very large one and has in it among others the follow- ing people: Mr. Donald Morrison, Mrs. J. A. Richards, Mrs. Deming, Mr. E. P. Farwell, Mr. Sherman Goble, Mr. Frank Windes, Miss Marjorie Windes, Mrs. Karnopp, Mr. Deming, Mr. Jack Montgomery, Mr. Albert Sharf, Mr. Clarence Happ, Mr. Will Davis, Mrs. Will Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes, Mr. Barbary and Mr Bartlett. The director is Mrs. Sherman Goble, who is well known for her work with the Winnetka Community Drama club. With such a cast and director and with so many fine committee heads the pro- duction is sure to be one of the best that the Drama club has ever present- ed.

INADEQUATE LIBRARY SPACE HITS PUPILS Winnetka Public Library Direct- ors Point Out Imperative Need for Enlarged Building Editor's note: The following is the third of a series of articles prepared under supervision of the Winnetka Pub. lic Library board, which is asking the voters of Winnetka to approve a $75,000 bond issue, at an election June 11 to provide material enlargement of the pub- lic library facilities. The June 11 elec- tion has been authorized by the Village board of trustees. The Winnetka Public library work in conection with the Winnetka Public schools should hold a particular in- terest for parents. The Winnetka Pub- lic schools, the New Trier High school, as well as the parochial schools have a list of books for their required read- ing courses. The Winnetka Public li- brary keeps such books on hand and always makes it a point to purchase any book or books requested by the schools. In the public schools, Miss Olson oc- cupies the position of librarian and she draws books from the public library which are needed in the school work, both for required reading and for spe- cial courses. The various teachers as well as pupils then draw the books from Miss Olson as school librarian. This system has been found to work out better than the system formerly used; that is, individual teachers draw a large number of books for their own use and for the use of the children. By concentration of withdrawal through one person, more satisfactory results have been obtained and it has been found easier to keep track of the books and obviate other difficulties. In addition to this plan individual stu- dents, of course, draw books on their own cards and use the public library reading rooms as places of study, par- ticularly as regards consulting of refer- ence books. The same system is fol- lowed by the parochial schools where contact is made through some of the teaching Sisters. Twelve Percent for Schools The library always maintains a sup- ply of books suitable for children of all ages, ranging from children just be- ginning to read up to and through a list that is suitable for high school stu- dents. Out of the total library circula- (Continued on page 8) stories. of the north shore golf clubs. Attention, Golfers!
