What would Kenil worth b» like without the Assembly Hall? After enjoying this luxury for five or aix years it is hard to go back tt Invagi- nation to the time when we did act have it. In those days we bad just as good times and just as many of them; but some house had to be more or less upset and some hostess had to undertake much work ami responsi- bility for any sort of general party we wanted to give. When the meetings of the Neigh- bors grew too large for one house after another, we decided that It "up to us" to start a club house fund and Increase it as fast as we could. Held Harvest Festivsl. The first year we raised money by a very successful Harvest Festival. We set up tables and booths near the Golf Shelter and exhibited all the finest fruits, flowers and vegetables ot the many gardens of 'those days- most of them now turned Into build- ing sites. We also had dome Una L*ve Stock exhibits and a beautiful Baby Show. We had Sand Piles, Klondike*, Grab Bags, Candy Booths and other sorts of money-tempters, as prises the time-honored blue, red and green ribbons of horse and bench show cus- tom were satisfactory and inexpen- sive. Another money-raising occasion was the Annual Domestic Science exhibit at The Neighbors. We all sent In our handsomest breads/cakes, pies, pud- dings, salads, entrees, e|c etc., which were Judged ss to taste and at to looks and received blua| red or groan ribbons If deemed worthy. If the am- ateur cordon blest permitted a sale of the exhibit the money was added to. the building fund. Paterfamilias was pretty sure of at least one extra good dish tbat day at supper, whether from his own kitchen or elsewhere. Earned H.*V WtM^- The- Neighbors fsuu^fim^tibMBg ways of earning one dollar each to- wards the Building Fund; such as pressing Friend Husband's trousers Instead of having the tailor do it; walking over to Field's to save bus fare; doing a friend's darning during her absence, etc., etc. The second Harvest Festival was more ambitious than the first Booths were more elaborate, exhibits more numerous and more carefully ar- ranged, and, Incredible as it seems, a handsome supper delicious and hot, was served at the Golf Shelter. It was a miracle! The old home was transformed Into a quaint German Inn. Savory German and American dishes were served actually hot. Con- sidering that the Shelter was pro- vided with neither heat light nor water, one can hardly realize bow such a feat was achievedâ€"a triumph of good management In the evening we paid again to see sn excellent vaudeville. Thus did our fund slowly grow until we were justified in look- ing about for plans for a modest building such ss we could afford If we worked on as we had begun. Just as we were considering two or three sketches and ground floor plans, the unexpected happened. Our present Assembly Hall was made possible much sooner by two beautiful and gen- erous gifts and the liberal subscrip- tion of practically every Kenllworthy. A Great Oeeaslen. Before the building was read;, the last meeting of The Neighbors In a private house wss an evening meet- ing at Mrs. Eastman's. Those who were present ought never to forget that occasion. It was springtime and there Were flowers and lovely music We felt ss solemn as young people saying farewell to childhood and pre- paring to enter a home ot their own like other grown folks. And now have come so many addi- tions to our civic family that the new home is already too smalL Kenllworth has more esprit de corp* than any place that most of us bare ever seen. Its social and civic life have never been selfish. The people who most enjoy Kenllworth are those who work for It and Its best inter- ests. They who most enjoy the As- sembly Hall when they go to it are those who watched it grow and helped it grow from small beginnings. It hs still large enough for the citlsens who built It To them ttssema rather sur- prising that the people who make the crowd should not be willing to make It possible to enlarge the buDdlng. ^-:,...'

PARENTS DEMAND APOLOGY This the Instructor Has Not Made the Satisfaction of the Mother and Suit May Be Brought Against Him By Father. Francis Paul Taft, a teacher ol mechanical drawing at the Raves school in Bvanston, is charged by th» parents ot Carl Smith, a 14-year-old pupil of the school, with having'mad* a vicious assault upon the youth In the class room Thursday, afternoon while the lad wss attending class, According to the story told by the boy, and the mother, Mrs. Nellie Smith, 1407 Sherman avenue, the teacher became. angry at the bor because he walked la front of him while he was addressing the mem- bers ot the class, and grabbed huh W the shirt sleeve, spinning him around and tearing his waist This, accord' lng to both the boy and the mother* was followed by a blow from the in- structor, which struck the boy square- ly In the eye, knocking him to the floor and rendering him unconscious. Charges Not Denied. The charges are not denied by Supt, Homer H. Klngsley, or by ths teacher himself. In explaining the incident, Mr. Taft says the .striking of the nor was an accident pure and simple, and that the injury to the eye was caused < brhtoene* i» â€"to lbs >si Jfep fall] tJlOlfcV^ lng to the floor. He, however, does admit that he spun the boy around by snatching his shirt sleeve and that hi was angry when he did it Supt Klngsley has demanded that the instructor make an apology to the parents of the boy. Though Mr. Taft has visited the parents ot the boy, he has not as yet made an apology that is acceptable to them. Supt Klngsley may file charges against the teacher with the board of education. He will, at least, make a report of the Incident to the board. May Tsks Court Action.â€"â€" Civil charges also may be filed against Taft by the parents of the boy, They are now waiting to see If the boy will suffer permanent Injury. Since the attack, Carl has been con- fined to his home and is In a very nervous condition. Ths boy has long suffered from a weak heart, and It la feared that the attack made upon htm may produce complications. When In- terviewed by a representative of The Lake Shore News, Mrs. Smith stated that she intended to have a physician make a thorough examination of her son. "Mr. Smith will decide whether or not any court action will be taken against the teacher," said Mrs. Smith.

Attack Wss Mads Thursday. • The attack on the boy wss made at 3:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon. According to the story told by the boy and his mother, Taft's action was unwarrant- ed. A dog running into the class room caused considerable laughter among the pupils and, after the dog had been put out young Smith left his bench to borrow an eraser from one of the pupils, says the mother. In doing so he passed directly In front of Teacher Taft who had become an* noyed by the dog incident, and as the boy passsd him he grabbed hhn by the shirt sleeve, <Ceanwesiea Never allow anybody or any misfortune to shake your belief la yourself.
