DAVIS With dime in the palm of his hand and a wish "I wanna join" on his lips, a youngster may enjoy the privileges of the Willoughby House Settlement. The privileges are many. They are a combination form which may be called recreational education.

For the children join classes for fun and at the same time are taught. The program includes athletics, ping pong, table games, shop, cooking, dancing, dramatics, knitting, salvage, music, sewing and self -governing clubs. All afford enjoyment and provide informal education after school. Supervising this very fine program for children is Miss Alice G. Spink and a staff of 12, plus several volunteer workers.

Many Nationalities Represented The boys and girls who join Wil- loughby House actually make it an international club, for they come from Irish, Greek, Italian, German, Spanish and Puerto Rican families. Yet with this mixture they are a happy and contented, as well as busy, lot. Their only scraps are of the brother and sister variety that happen in any family. Approximately 75 children are active settlement of an afternoon and their ages range from 6 to 14 years. They enjoy a glass of milk with cookies.

sandwich or fruit. It seems that they all want to learn to cook, but itprobably is the desire of the 10 to 12-year-olds to eat that has promoted the interest in the culinary art. The boys seem to be particularly anxious to join the already crowded classes, but they will have their chance after the Christmas holidays when a boys' cooking class will be formed. Christmas Festivities Planned At the present time the Christmas activities are the chief interest of the youngsters. Each group will have its own party and the big event will be the Christmas play, "Saintons Go to Bethlehem," on Dec.

17. The entertainment will be played to an audience of adults, including the board of directors, parents of the children and those formerly connected with the house, who never forget Willoughby House. The play is being directed by Miss Sue Smith and Mrs. Carl Washburn is planning the musical part of the program. Mothers' Groups Meet In the evening the older children from 12 and 14 to 18 years of age have their fun with meetings and athletics playing a prominent part.

There are also three women's groups that meet in the evenings. They are mothers of the Willoughby House youngsters, some of them mothers of now grown Willoughby House chil-. dren, others mothers of children who have gone to the Hollenback Camp at Fort Montgomery, N. Y. The mothers' programs are chiefly recreational but there are Red Cross classes held continually and.

of course, the mothers are always sewing and knitting for the Red Cross. Nursery School a Project Willoughby House sponsors a nursery school at the Fort Greene ing project and the Juliette Hollenback Camp is an important part its work. At this camp children are sent for two or three weeks, depending upon circumstances, and last Summer many children of warworking families remained for the Summer. The funds are provided the parents who send the children camp and the payment is made according to the means of the family. Willoughby House also has a health program.

This consists of periodic health examinations with follow-ups, health talks and advice, talks on nutrition for the mothers and, course, the serving of an afternoon snack. The community interests are many, for Willoughby House constantly co-operates with the city departments. United Neighborhood Houses. the Welfare Council. the Brooklyn Council for Social Planning, the Co-ordinating Council 84th Precinct, the Red Cross, the Children's Welfare Federation and other social agencies.

Low. in 1919 the Summer camp at Fort Montgomery was started with six sleeping tents, a cook tent and two second-hand rowboats. The camp was named in memory of Miss Juliette Hollenback, president of the settlement, who died in the course of a financial campaign and who had been a generous contributor to the settlement. Willoughby House met the various needs as the years passed and during which boys banged on the doors to be admitted. So now boys are as prominent in the activities of the settlement and in the evening events, more so than the girls.

Problem girls and boys are a rare thing at Willoughby House, which proves the answer to juvenile delinquency-keep them busy and you'll keep them happy. M. Seavers To Be Wed To Student Mr. and Mrs. Leigh J.
