> SCHOOL LIBRARY * BROUGHT 10 LIF Book Scenes Presentad at Elibn + Buritt P. and T. Moeting Dramatized scenes from children’s books formed the outstanding po! tion of the program which was pre- sented in the Elihu Burritt school euditorium last night in connection with the observance of Americaniz- stion Week by the Parents and Teachers association. Episodes from three books in the school library were acted to show pupils and pa ents the type of reading material the school offers and to tempt the children to read these books and others. The scenes were dramatized by Miss Ruby Dickinson, while the pu- pils were coached by Miss Anna Ol- son and the costumes made by Miss Kathleen Grace. Those who took part were Valeria Szufernowska, Anna Regula, Virginia Axelson, Alice Gitlavitz, Emily Kassey, Anna Melnyk, Walter Dobosz, Domenic Vitale, Katherine Mavelich, Marjorie Peterson, Constance Pettinata, Helen Rudick, Rita Witkin, Dammling, and Rose Bayaj sketches brought much applause from the 300 parents and children who were present. Vice President Harry A. Witkin of the school parent and teachers’ asso- ciation, presided. He first called upon the sec ;, Miss Dorothy Pinches, for the minutes of the last meeting, after which the Elihu Bur- ritt school orchestra, directed by Miss Lila Byrne, played a selection. The orchestra composed of Leo- peld Mailloux, James Aparo, Sebas- tian Pestritto, William Cormier and Stanley Dzielca, violinists; and Mike Mazur, cornetis Principal Wessels Speaks “The schools, which are the hopes of the Nations” was the subject of the address made by Principal Harry Wessels of the Nathan Hale Junior High school. Mr. Wessels contrasted €ducational methods under various civilizations, He said that in an- cient Athens training was for citi- xenship but was limited to a certain few, the rest merely receiving man- val instruction from their parents. In Germany before the World War, l.oys were taught to follow their father's trades, but the poor re- ceived only the fundamentals, ‘T whole system controlled the v thinking of the nation, he said. Pilgrims belicved cach should have some voice in government, so all wera taught to read and write. Now we have a democracy, Mr. W 1s said, and cach has the right to ex- press an opinion, so education is ne- cessary. CHILDREN LIKE MIL FLAVORED wWITH “It is incumbent upon Ty Par ent or thinking citizen to see that the schools are as efficient as they can be made,” the speaker sald. “We have all felt that we could have been much better citizens if we had only had the chance, and the achools give that chance.” He created an astonished laugh by predicting that within 15 years most of his listeners would have their own airplanes. These changing con- ditions, he said, meant that children had to be trained in different ways for different things all the time. In concluding he said, “We try most of all to give boys and girls the sat- isfaction of finding out what they can do, and then they can do more,” and he asked for the advice, sym- pathy, ard backing of the parents. Miss Anna Olson rendered two vo- cal solog, “Myy Little Gray Home in the West,” and “Ah, S8weet Mystery of Life.” She was accompanied by Miss Mary Ryan. Thomas Murphy played two violin solos, “Berceuse” and “In the Garden of Tomorrow accompanied by Miss Helen Prest. The school orchestra concluded the program with another selection, “Then You'll Remember Me.” PAY N DEBTS IS HEATHS MANDATE Husband of Noted Aviatrix Gives Her Allowance London, Nov. 16 UP—Sir James Heath, husband of Lady Heath, widely known British airwoman who is now in America, today made pub- lic through his solicitors an official notification withdrawing authority for her to pledge his credit.

Opposition Aroused The newspaper in an editorial in- timated that the proposul to hold position in a meeting of the coun- cil of ministers on October 30, A letter which Pope Pius sent Cardi- nal Pompilj, vicar general of the Roman diocese, last May was cited. This letter said that the games were |contrary to the spirit of Woman- {hood and the competition was par- |ticularly disagreeable since it came {in the month of May which is dedi- |cated to the blessed virgin. The pope wrote that public performances by women athletes were contrary to “sane pedagogy” and added: “Nobody can think that Christian education excludes all that givesthe |body agility, grace, health, true |good and force on the condition that this is done in a fitting place manner and kind, avolding every- | thing not agreeing with reserve and modesty, which are the bulwark of feminine virtue.” Listen to Pope | “If the fascist state,” the paper | commented, “desires to be Catholic, as it has many. times proclaimed, | of the pontiff,” The newspaper answered a fascist |argument that such games arc a revival of old Roman customs by remarking that Romans never ad- mitted women to their stadia, arm- ed or unarmed. It added that if any |examples of women's contests are (to be found in ancient times one must go back to Greece and to the most corrupt of the Greek cities. An archery contest has been sub- ‘!'“llll-lll for a ritle shooting event |which caused opposition in 1928. | Despite this change the paper said jthat the games “will repeat the of- fense to sense and the Christian customs of our civilization,” IDAS CELEBRATE Gardner, Mass, Nov. 16. i ly a third of all the women 1embers of the Finnish Lutheran church here are named lda.
