Day School On April 9 Mrs. Beatrice Ensor, of England, will speak at the North Shore Country Day school under the auspices of the Parent-Teacher asso- ciation. The Parent-Teacher association of the North Shore Country Day school is inviting the Parent-Teacher asso- ciation of the Winnetka schools. Mrs. Ensor is editor of the New Era and one of the founders of the New Education Fellowship which held its conference at Locarno last summer. Francis Gates of 1097 Cherry street, had as his guest over the week-end, Valentine Huffington of Saskatoon, Canada, who played at the Coliseum last week on the Blackhawk Hockey team. Johnny's Golf Hints Putting is a game within a game, and too much practice cannot be de- voted to the latter. There are several methods of putting, but I will describe the style that is used by the majority of the foremost pros. When taking the stance, keep both feet at right angles to the hole. Bend forward at the waist so that your left eye is directly over the ball and the shaft of the putter is parallel with your left leg which should be in a ver- tical position. The ball is played out on a line di- rectly opposite the inside of the left foot. Keep both thumbs on top of the shaft and rest your hands on your left leg. This will help steady your stroke. Start the club back on a straight line with the cup, keeping the blade at right angles to the cup at all times. The latter movement should be done with your wrists, your hands remaining in a fixed position. On starting the hit, keep the blade square to the cup, as you have on the back stroke, and keep it so, as you hit the ball, and then, to the finish of the stroke, your blade must be square on impact, and remain so until the stroke is completed, for the direction in which the blade faces is where the ball will go, when hit. It is a little hard at first, but with brief practice you will be able to judge the distance and get better direction, if totally done with the wrists. Lawrence Henry Presents Concert at Skokie School A piano recital was given last Thursday afternoon for the children of the Skokie School by Lawrence Henry of Evanston, a member of the faculty of the Sherwood School of Music. Mr. Henry is the pianist for Vera Mirova, the Russion dancer, and has been accompanist for the solo cellist of the Detroit Symphony Or- chestra. His playing of Gluck's "Gavotte" transposed for the piano by Brahms, and his rendition of Chopin's Waltz in A flat were his best two numbers. In spite of a severe cold, which under or- dinary circumstances would have caused him to cancel his engagement, he gave this complimentary recital to the children of the Skokie School. His numbers were greatly appreciated by the children. The program was as follows: Sonata (1st Movement) ..Marininow Gavotte... .. 00 Gluck-Brahms Waltz Opus 69 Noob... Chopin Prelude ...... SRE EEE gia TE Henri Prelude ovine in MacDowell Country Gardens ..... 0.0... Grainger Miss Ruth Blumenstock of 495 Wil- low road, who is attending Syracuse university, Syracuse, N.

North Shore Country Day school last week included four plays, beginning with the Marionette plays, by the Tatterman Players, of Detroit, on Monday and ending with the Spring play written and acted by the Fourth grade, on Friday, which closed the school term before the spring va- cation. The Tatterman Players gave three very charming short scenes, one a ren- dering of a Mother Goose rhyme. The Fourth grade's Spring play was an original version of the story of Dio- nysius coming to earth to give to the nymphs the knowledge of the cultiva- tion of the vine. On Wednesday, the class which is studying history of art, presented three scenes which they had written from incidents in the lives of Leonardo da Vinci and Michel Angelo, and on Thursday evening the Fifth grade acted a French play based on an old legend from Brittany.
