still one of the very best sellers, and
his dramatization of it is awaited
eagerly. Sunday night will be the
wvorld' spremiere of the flay, and Mr.
Arlen himself is expected to be
present. And if these two facts are
not enough to bring Detroit out in full
array, the two leading actresses are;
for they are both former Bonstelle
players, Miss Harding having appear-

last summer. Detroiters always have'

weeks' run. Incidentally, this play
set a record run for Detroit, having
played for two weeks at the Garrick
before the stock company had it. It
will be succeeded by "Expressing
Willie," a play by Rachel Crothers
that has quite a reputation in New
York where it ran all last season. As
its title suggests, it concerns a fellow
who wants to express himself all over
the place.
"The Dream Girl," with Fay Bain,
ter, succeeds the Ritz Revue at the
New Detroit this evening. The story
is adapted from "The Road to Yester-

to five years of age attend. There are
no nursery schools connected with
the universities in England, accord-

such schools in England. In thet
United States, there are approximately
ten. Miss Lord was asked to come to
the United States to take the branch
of the Merrill-Palmer school. The

Mrs. A. H. Lloyd, former chairman of
the nursery section of the Faculty
Women's club, have also been in-
strumental in the establishment of the
branch nursery school here.
The Merrill-Palmer School was es-
tablished in Detroit in 1920 through a
provi:-cu in the will of Lizzie Merrill
The provision is as follows:
"I hold profoundly the conviction
that the welfare of any community is
divinely, and hence inseparabll, de-
pen dent upon the quality of its moth-
erhood, and the spirit and charaictem
of its homes, and moved by this con.
viction, I hereby give, devise andt be-
queath all the rest, residue and re-
mainder of my estate, of whatever
kind and character, and wheresoever
situated, for the founding, endowment
and maintenance, in the City of De-
troit,. or in the Township of Greenfield,
County of Wayne, State of Michigan,
of a school to be known as the Merrill
Palmer Motherhood and Home Train-
ing school, at which, upon such plan
and system, and under such rules and
regulations, as shall, in the judgment
and wisdom of those upon whom the
administration shall devolv, be adopt-
ed, girls and young women of the agej
of ten years or more shall be educat-
ed, trained, developed and disciplinedj
with special reference to fitting them
mentally, morally, physically and re-
ligiously for the discharge of the fun-
ctions and service of wifehood and
motherhood, and the management, su-
pervision, direction and inspiration of
homes."
Miss Edna N. White is director of
the School and Dr. Helen T. Woolley
is assistant director. Miss White
spent the summer of 1921 in England
making/a first hand study of the nur
sery schools there. The nursery
school in Detroit is used as a labora-
tory for child study in the fields ot
mental development, health training,
and physical care. Both undergrad-
uate and graduate students from more
than 20 colleges are taking courses in
the various phases of the care and
management of young children, physi-
cal, mental, educational and social.
Advanced work in child psychology is
also given by Dr. Woolley, formerly
director of the psychological work of
the Cincinnati public - schools. Th
Peed for the nursery school was felt
in developing better methods for train-
ing in child care and child manage-
ment. In creating the school, the
children's development is vitally aided
and a laboratory is established for the
training of young women. The nur-
sery school was founded in 1922. Most
of the students are in the home econ-
omics department of the various uni-
versities. Full credit is given forthe
work, but degrees are not granted.
There are 25 children in the Ann
Arbor branch, with a waiting list o
40. The children are from two to five

Individual study is made of each child,
and the records are kept of his physi-
cal, mental, social and psychological
life.
The children are allowed and en-
couraged to do everything for them-
selves and to wait on themselves. The
