Library Club Ends Membership Drive Friday, August 1 the diductor, eludes: Berlioz .Grieg Vagner ~ssohn HROUGHOUT the summer months when the activities of most of the local women's clubs have been dormant, and the presidents and offic ers have been taking advantage of their vacation time before the strenuous tasks of the coming club season engage their almost constant attention, two departments of the Woman's Library Club of Glencoe have been at work ; the nature committee, through whose efforts weekly garden tours have been made possible for real potential gardeners of the village, and a large successful flower show was given, and the finance committee, under the chairman hip of Mrs. Sherman M. Booth, which has been devising ways and means for increasing the fund s. for the beautiful and spacious new home which is gradually emerging from a long talked of dream into a reality. plans for which have already been drawn and approved. At a meeting on May 26, the finance department decided upon a drive for new members not only for the purpose of increasing the funds, but for .~timulating interest in the project so r to the hearts of those deeply concerned in the realization of the club building. No time was wasted in launching the dri\'e. Each member has been allowed to sign two applications, and each signed application must bear three signatures before being sent to Mrs. Sherman M. Booth, 265 Sylvan road. The drive ends two weeks from this Friday, and names sent in after that time will not appear in the new year hook that will be issued in September. Before the Library club hoard votes upon the names, they must be posted for four weeks. Send-In your names now! Throughout the past winter several parties have been given in Glencoe that have given those interested in helping to make the new home a possibility, the opportunity to enjoy an Ol:casion of real society interest. The charm of a beautiful garden and the cordial hospitality of a hostess whose interest is in community affairs, will afford another such opportunity. Mrs. Andrew MacLeish will open her home, Craigie Lea, 9n Wednesday afternoon, July 23, at o'clock for a garden · n~usicale t8e building fund. Madame Leon Rothier, wife of the ell known basso singing with the Ravinia Opera this season, will 'give a song recital. If ~l!lns can prophesy a result, this will be the largest social function of the mid-summer season. Cullen of Skokie won the low net members' event. A little of the social atmosphere crept into the day for out-of-door recreation, with the advent of the luncheon hour, when a number of small parties gathered together to play bridge in the afternoon. T Francis Arnold Gives Lecture on Near East "E DUCATIONAL influences of America in the Ncar East" was the subject of a lecture given by Francis Arnold before the Summer School session of the National Kindergarten and Elementary college. Mr. Arnold has recently returned from an extended trip through Egypt and Palestine, an<l. after visiting both the native schools and the American colleges in such centers as Cairo, Constantinople and Beirut, he states that Mohammedan education is slowly yielding to American methods and ideals. Even in Arabian mosques, where formerly children had been taught only the Koran, they are now studying geography, and native schools are everywghere being superseded by American schools and uni versities. Dr. McClanahan of the American University at Cairo stated to Mr. Arnold that the leaders of the new Egyptian movement are graduates of American universities. In Jerusalem Mr. Arnold had an opportunity to obsen·e the work of the Ncar East Relief. who are doing constructive work with thousands of homeless refugees, and he is loud in his praise of their efficiency and the wonderful spirit of the workers. Armenian boys being trained as £oy Scouts, with especial emphasis on honesty, is a tremendous step in advance. Everywhere Mr. Arnold found people talking about America aad American ideals. The Near East considers us a race of superior beings without the problems and limitations of the rest of the world, and they are all striving to become truly American. At Robert college in Constantinople Mr. Arnold found nineteen nationalities in the student body. Members from all these warring nations meeting on common ground with a common interest, studying together and playing together, was a truly hopeful sight, and the gist of Mr. Arnold's emphatically ,that message was, American education is the only solution of the Near East problem.
