A ii ter. Laura Janet, to Ensign Robert Eyers Wilcox of the naval reserve, son of Mr.

and Mrs. Edward Byers BY LARRY WOLTERS. Encouraged by the success of the use of radio to supplement classroom instruction, the radio council of the Chicago public school system expects every school will install Its own television receiver in the postwar era, Mrs. L. Robert Mellin, member of the board of education, asserted yesterday.

She addressed a meeting of the 2d district Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs at the Museum of Science and Industry. Mrs. Mellin said the council's programs, broadcast thru its own FM station, WBEZ, and several standard broadcasting stations, are followed in school by approximately 181,000 children each week. The council, which pioneered the broadcasting of school programs into the classrpom seven years ago, is now engaged in Wilcox of Wlnnetka. The wedding date has been set for Saturday, April 29, but details will not be completed until Miss Winston arrives next Thursday from Poughkeepsie, N.

"We can see the day when every classroom will be equipped with an FM receiver, when every school will have its television the Roycemore school before enter receiver, when, thru facsimile repro Girl Scouts Told Responsibility in Community Work duction, radio will be used administratively in the schools." Facsimile is the transmission of printed, written, and pictorial matter by radio.

"Radio motivates an immense amount of discussion, handiwork, and other activities of the student if the students' experience with the program is controled by the teacher," Mrs. Mellin continued. Bringing radio into the classroom serves to improve home listening as well as education, she said. The educator has no quarrel with radio as a medium of dissemination," the speaker asserted. We do have considerable quarrel with the content of radio programs, particularly those designed for listening by children.

Here and There. Before Mrs. Walter P. Paepcke left for South America the end of last week, she planned the decorations which will deck the headquarters of the Pan-American council for a tea and reception from 4 to 7 p. m.

today in observance of Pan-American day. On their trip Mr. and Mrs. Paepcke expect to be gone bout a month. Mrs.

Pauling Donnelley has ar upon two of the smaller and less familiar pieces of the piano repertory, Faure's Ballade in sharp major, 'a lyrical excursion pretty as a pink bonbon, and Richard Strauss taut and witty Burleske, which recently furnished Antony Tudor with a wryly fascinating score for Dim Lustre." Altho his repertory for orchestra is reported on the fabulous side, Mr. Arrau had learned the Ballade for the occasion and he played it beautifully to Mr. Defauw 's good accompaniment. The Burleske was not quite the same story. Mr.

Airau handled the piano part with all the sardonic glitter and audacious skill the score demands, but the orchestra was stodgy by comparison. The performance lacked the diabolical give and take1, the subtle perfection of coordination, that makes such music irresistible. Except for Ravel's charming suite, Le Tombeau de Couperin," which was well played, the rest of the concert was fairly heavy going. It opened with Respighi's "Church Windows," an inferior piece of stained glass music which has not aged very well, and ended with Strauss "Death and Transfiguration," chosen, no doubt, because it and the Burleske were originally played at the same concert. Neither performance was distinguished.

The Respighi sonorities were puffed out until they sounded bloated, and the Strauss sounded like what people who don't like Strauss say about it. ment of children's listening tastes; tTRIBCKB Fboto.l Patricia Sproul, 10 is a student at the Sutherland school.

An up to date knowledge of the community its lodges, clubs, welfare organizations, labor unions, churches, and schools is essential to a successful Girl Scout program. Miss Mary Austin, head resident at Gads Hill center, told 150 executives from the Great Lakes Girl Scout district yesterday in the La Salle hotel.

You must demonstrate your sincerity by cooperating with agencies already existing," she advised, and make scouting a community project." The second day of the four day session was devoted to fund raising, and Miss Austin exhibited letters and reports which have had successful appeal.
