DR.. ALLISON F. CLARK
Prominent Minister of Rock River
Conference NJ. E. Church Joins
League Staff

The Anti-Saloon League is to be con-
graduated on securing the services of
Rev. Allison p. Clark on its official staff.
DR.. Clark has an admirable record as a
Methodist pastor and district superin-
tendent. He has always been deeply in
terestcd III the work of the Anti-Saloon
League and thoroughly allied to and
sympathetic with the nationwide strug-
gle to destroy the liquor traffic. We be-
lieVe he will bring much strength to the
already effective personnel of the Anti
Saloon League and welcome him gladly
to the number of our co-Workers. We are
sure our friends in the Northern District
will gladly rally around DR.. Clark and CO.
operate with him in his important task.
Our friends will be pleased to read the
following brief review of his activities.
Rev. Clark goes to his new work after
being in the ministry for four decades,
during which time he has had IL pastor
ates As a monument to his intense work
during that period he leaves eight
churches, the property value of which ap-
proximates million dollars. 1t is es-
peciaily fitting that the church the con-
ference met in this year at Downers
Grove was built under the supervision of
Dr. Clark during his charge there and it
is an interesting fact that the church in
Morgan Park, where the convention con-
yencd last year vas also built by lliiis..
A distinct tribute to DR.. Clark's ability
was paid him last year in the publication
of the Journal and Yearbook Of the Rock
River Conference which says, "The most
distinctive building program on this dis
trict (Chicago Western diStrict) was the
church at DoWners Grove. 1t was dedi-
Gated on Easter Sunday. The dignity,
nHo Nf y -t,.
ture, when the population and member
ship of Downers Grove are taken into
consideration, make it perhaps the most
notable achievement within our confer
ence. It is the latest tribute to the lead
erShip of one who takes doubtless the
palm as builder of churches among the
ministers of our conference. I refer to
Allison F. Clark, under whose leadership
this remarkable sanctuary was begun and
almost brought to completion"
For six years Dr. Clark was superin-
tendent of the Chicago Northern District
and during this time a like active pro-
gram of building was sponsored through
out the district. Tt was at this time that
the great Missionary Centenary Move
ment of Methodism was in force and the
Chicago Northwest District ranked as one
of the four leading units in all Metho-
disin.
For the last two years DR.. Clark has
served the Grace M. E. Church of Elgin,
Illinois, and in that short time many in
novations in the church program were
made and the Grace Church has taken an
active part in the religious life of the
city.
Dr.. and Mrs. Clark have moved to Chi
cago and taken Up their residence in Oak

PARENT-TEAcHER MEETING
Question Box Develops Interesting Diseussion.--Prof. Very Gives
 Program

The question box. made a feature of the meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association, Monday evening, proved very interesting and brought forth con iderable discussion about the schools of Putnam. There were some twenty questions in the box, which were answered by Erie H. Johnson, chairman of the town school commit tee; Leon Nj. Farrin, superintendent of schools; and E. l.. Robinson, principal of the high school.
 The matter of bonuses for teachers attending summer schools brought forth the most discussion and debate and evidenced that there is some mis- understanding about the payment of these bonuses. It is understood that some time ago the school board voted to pay $50 to all teachers in the pri- mary schools who attend summer schools This bonus was intended to help defray the expense of the teacher attending the summer course.
 The question which brought forth the discussion was in substance: Why do not teachers in the high school at tending summer schools receive a bonus when teachers in the graded schools do?"
 During the evening Professor Very of Providence played a group of se- lections on the piano. Refreshments were served

 day evening January 25th at the Bradley Theater one of the foremost
 d first of the extended number of
 sll known mystery plays, In The
 xt Room" from the distinguished
 llaborating team of Eleanor Rob .n and Harriet Ford.
 Although well satisfied with the utcome, both artistically and finan- cially of the ventures of the past two ears. the committee has felt it ad- visable to depart from the sure fire combination of Conan and comedy.
 hia step has been taken for double purpose, to offer q wider range to the capabilities of the talented amateurs that make up the local group and a more varied fare for the supporters of the movement.
 A glance into the plot reveals a mysterious antique cabinet, a double murder, several group of sinister fig ures, and a spr:ghtly romance be- tween the niece of the murdered col ector and an alert reporter, not to neak of comedy par excellence by an incredible butler.
 Among the Cast
 Miss Sybil Gilman. n veteran and a favorite, is cast in the female lead playing opposite Joseph Bove, who r..--nt..., k,. ,.et kahtrd thu sr,.iltad window for an evening to assume the role of a live wire newspaper gem. The popular Jimmy Williamson k admirably perfect in his deltneation of hard boiled metropolitan sleuth, ably assisted by a brace of the CO., ferreters of crime, William Ryan and Lawrence Light. Miss Gertrude Rem illard k well chosen for the part of the afflicted duchess. 4 trio of new corners add materially to the rec sources of Putnam's only non schol- astic dramatic group. Julia, portray ed by Edmaer Guy, has an intense dramatic bit, seconded by Gordon Caifrey, an old high school favorite. The thsrd of the first year members is notable one in the person of l.. Hector Lucier. who sparkles in the character part of Philip Vantine, the doomed eonnoisseur of antiques John H. Hogan returns after years ab- sence to fill in the second role of Felix Armand. Michael White shines as a comedy butler.
 The tickets are now available from members of the committee, which comprise, John NJ. Hogan, chairman; L. Hector Lucier, secretary; Michael White, Bernard McGarry. James ]. Charron, Francis Murphy and Joseph Boye. The ticket committee consists of, Lawrence Light, chairman; John Simonzi and Charles Giraca.
 These tickets will be exchangeable for reserved seats at the box office of the Bradley at o'clock on Mon day, January 21. There is already n tremendous advance demand for the tickets, and the committee strongly advises ali who wish to attend to make reservations immediately.
