We hear much on all sides of the value and importance of co-operation In all sorts of business in the success of which large numbers of people are interested. Evidence that the prin- ciple is being put in operation in the North Shore towns is held in the lively interest taken by all the resi- dents of the villages in the success- ful production of the play, "The Im- portance of Being In Earnest," which will be given at Ravinla park for the benefit of the Highland Park Y. W. 0. A. building, May 24. A few months ago the residents of Wllmette, Winnetka, and other towns the lake shore, became exer^ , cited over the undesirable social con- - dltions which were believed to be * prevalent among the young people of those villages. Agitation and Investi- gation resulted in the formation of • the North Shore Juvenile Protective %i association, with which the organ- It tzars of the Y. W. C. A. in Highland ;â-  Park promptly joined forces In a de- sire to work, sympathetically with the larger association, realizing that the ideals of the two organizations were ^Identical, the betterment of conditions ' under which the young -girls of the communities live. v v. True io the spirit of mutual help- fulness, the ambition of the residents Of Highland ?ark to possess a suit- > iable building to add to the comfort, education and training of the young women of the village, has enlisted the Interest of all the people of the North Shore, thus assuring the success of the efforts of the amateur performers of "The Importance of Being In Earn- est" * # * ^" NO ROYAL ROAD. In casting about for suitable sub- jects from which to address the young people of bis congregation, Dr. Molh> vhbk/could have hit upon none more practical than that which he chose for Sunday morning's discourse. It Is one of the objectionable fea- tures ot the present-day educational system that short cuts to training are available to all students. With the desire to begin earning something, comes the temptation to take the quickest course to the attainment ot that desire, frequently at the expense of a thorough training which, in the long run, represents real economy. ; Where the necessity Is urgent for the school boy or girl to enter the ip'ranke of the wage earners, the possi- p: Mlity of acquiring a sufficiently com- ||-' prehensive course in the many Indus- 1 jfitrial subjects now taught is the great- |:.fJest qf blessings and for that reason fffauch courses are most desirable In 'p'-'-the public schools. I|y Where that necessity does not ex- p.|l«t, .however, every effort should he #|nerted to keep the over-hasty student ; |'*reading in the path that leads to the |f highest efficiency through the thor- Hpugh tralnlnf of the full course In high school and college. §fg As. Dr. MoJEcvanr has pointed out, fach a course asks its price in work land time, but the investment Is one <mat pays in Che greater efficiency which la developed and the general broadening of the mental horison. -'â- ||\;A PROMISING BEOSOlC~ vicinity of Evanston will receive their first treat. From the opening of Ravinla park, a few weeks later, the opportunity to hear good music any day will con- tinue throughout the summer season. The Ravinla Park association a year ago won the appreciation of the peo- ple who enjoyed the fruits of their labor in the splendid entertainments afforded last season. This year there is every promise of a still more Inter- esting program, Including the con- certs of the Chicago Symphony or- chestra, performances of grand opera, and several exhibitions of classic dancing. The North Shore towns and the Ra- vinla Park association have every reason to congratulate themselves on the outlook for the approaching sea- son, the opening of which is being somewhat impatiently awaited by the patrons of the park. » X * THE MOTE AND THE BEAM. In addressing the Women's Associa- tion of Commerce meeting in Chicago Tuesday, Mr. John B. DeVoney, head of a savings bank of Chicago, is cred- ited with saying that women are not to be relied upon for keeping their word in financial deals as are men. The speaker took a little of the sting from bis unchlvalrous remark by add- ing that the business woman is grow- ing in grace and will with greater experience in business affairs probably develop a passable reliability. In connection with this charge against the woman In business It may be well to consider an honorable transaction of reputable business men and therefore honeBt. President A. A. McCobmick of the Immigrants' Protective leagu/s has in his fourth annual report pointed out the practice indulged in by the offi- cials of railroads running into New York and other ports of dividing the immigrant traffic among the various lines with no consideration of the immigrant nor the unnecessary time spent by him In transit The taking of advantage of the alien's ignorance of our language and methods of transportation can scarce- ly be called honest business dealings. And yet it is participated In for profit by business men and suffered to con- tinue by an indulgent public. * * * The movement to found the Ameri- can College of Surgery, an institu- tion which is designed to protect the public from the practice of Incompe- tent surgeons, "bunglers and quacks," as they are designated by the men who have conceived the Idea and be- gun operations toward the consum- mation of the plan, is particular^? apropos in connection with the recent agitation against the wholesale award- ing of a diploma to any applicant who can furnish financial compensation for the document, "similar In every detail to those furnished by the best medical colleges" as has been charged against several Institutions in Chicago and other cities. * * * Philadelphia congregation has asked for a resignation State Water Survey Reports Raw Water Is Bad and That Treated Water Is Good. The state water survey in its re- port for May states that the raw Lake Michigan water is unfit for drinking (purposes, but that the treated water is satisfactory, but should be filtered. The Report The following Is the report: Raw water (before treatment): Bacteria, per cc. on gelatine, 1,750; turbidity, 65. Bacteria, per cc. on agar, 2,250; odor, 0; color, 10. Gas producers in 10 cc, 8; alkalin- ity, 120. Indol test, +. Remarks: Both the chemical and bacteriological examinations indicate that this water should not be used for drinking purposes without treat- ment Treated water: Bacteria, per cc. on gelatine, 780; | turbidity, 40. Bacteria, pre cc. on agar, 170; color, 10. Oas producers in 10 cc, 0; odor, 0. Indol test, â€";. alkalinity, 122. Remarks: The turbidity Is sufficient- ly high to be noticed In a glass and the water should be filtered. From the hygienic standpoint, however, the negative tests for gas formers show that it is safe for drinking purposes. The following is the basis for in- terpretation of the analytical data of the water supply as reported by Dr. Edward Bartow, director of the state water survey:---------------- "Turbldiity" refers to the amount of insoluble matter in suspension. It may be perfectly harmless, though a turbid water Is less attractive for drinking purposes than a perfectly clear water. The turbidity standard.is silica suspended in water. "Color" refers to colored substances In solution. It is due usually to an extract of vegetable matter. The color standard Is the color obtained by a solution of platinum chloride and co- balt chloride in water. "Odor" is a descriptive term and is reported as vegetable, fishy, moldy, disagreeable, ete. "Alkalinity" of water helps to de- termine its value for household and industrial uses. It is measured in terms of calcium carbonate.

School expenses for the balance of this year, further measures of retrenchment have been found necessary and it has been decided to close all departments of the library for one month, from July 15 to Aug. 15. Instead of taking this time as their regular vacation, the members of the library staff have offered to take from two to four weeks of this time as leave of absence without pay, thus affecting a saving in salaries and other running expenses for the month of about |575. It is hoped that this plan may obviate the necessity of cutting down salaries. This additional curtailment of the privileges of the library is deeply re- gretted, but the saving of this amount at this time will probably allow a re- turn to the regular evening hours In the fall, which would probably mean more to the regular patrons of the library.
