If you have ever heard the Bishqp you'.ll want to hear him ag-ain. If you have never heard him, you'll have a delightful time next Sunday. The Club and its very efficient president, W. Frank l\1cClure. can take great and unusual credit to themselves for their eleven vears of beneficial work. It has he en a " ·ork of real communitv benefit. Of that there can not be the slightest .douht, for the programs provided have not' been unusually entertaining, but also genuinely worthy. Perhaps the tnost remarkable feature in the club's work has been the continual main tenance of a very high level of value throughout all these years. No n1atter on what Sunday evening one n1ight attend a meeting of the Club, he could be practically certain .of being interested and improved. The building of a large assembly hall in Wilmette for the tneetings of the Club and kindred occasions would be a fitting recognition in this. the twelfth year of the Club's life, of the arduous and patriotic work of President McClure and his associates.

As it is now, it is a disgrace to the progressive north shore. A few days ago we met a young man who was congratulating himself vigorously because he had just got a job where he could Jearn something. One might have thought that the prospect of getting a fair livelihood would have pleased him most. But it didn't. He kept emphasizing the fact that his work was going to put him in the way of learn-· ing .something. Bully for him!

Fo_ r many generations thi s imprint will remain to remind the coming citizens of the north shore .o f a man who made beautiful homes for beautiful surroundings. Time was when children coming home from school looked in at the open door of the blacksmith shop. But what entertainment can they now get on their homeward way?
