THE LAKE SHORE NEWS. FRIDAY, irattttTTARV 13, 1923 ifl^p|p,':'ii| UBRARY NEEDS FUNDS-HARPER President of Library Board in Appeal BY JOHN R. HARPER (President Library Board and Sup- erintendent of Public Schools.) Editor's note: The Wilmette Library Board, with co-operation of the Wilmette Parent-Teacher associations and the Mothers' club of the Laurel Avenue school is this week conducting a fund and book campaign. While contributions of money are the first essential in this drive, it is also the desire of the Board ~WaT7tiose~ mtrWWte books txr the local institution. The drive for funds and books for the Wilmette Public Library should receive the careful consideration and support of every citizen of Wilmette. It is rather embarrassing to the board members of a poiblic institution, supported by taxes, to ask for priv- ate giving to carry on the work; but. WhtHi thai buaid lias' spent all the money available and is still in dire need, there is nothing else to do. In this case there is a dire need for a much larger selection of children's books. The teachers of the schools are doing all they can to stimulate a love for good literature in the Wil- mette school children. Fortunately there is available now a large selec- tion of books for childrenâ€"books that have been written from the child's standpoint and that appeal to his in- terests and imagination. Every child in our village should have access to these books. The Public Library is organized to do this work. Our librarian and her assistant are trained in the careful selection of children's nnnVj. They also know how to minister to the in- dividual tastes of their patrons. They are co-operating with .the schools in every possible way. The drive is in the interests of the boys and girls of.Wilmette and in their behalf I am making this public and personal appeal. Assign Trafc Policcjlo Guard Sunday School Pupils 1 Village Manager Schultz Tuesday of this week was authorized to ap- point specially deputized policemen to perform traffic duty on Sunday morn- ings in the vicinity of the churches, particularly' at the Wilmette-Lak avenue intersection. The heavy automobile traffic in the vicinity of the churches during Sun- day morning hours, has created a dangerous condition in view of the fact that so many children are on the streets at that time of day. â-  " Stationing police at the intersec; tions comes in direct consequence of an appeal made before the Village board by the Wilmette Church coun- cil. Mr. F. E. Jarvis, 715 Central avenue, was in Minneapolis and Duluth, Minn., on a business trip this week. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Backius, 815 Gregory avenue, left Monday for a vis- -iTTir^nsasHEHty:----------.- .-â-  --_____ P-T Associations Endorse Kindergarten School Work It is of interest to all mothers and parents of the north shore that the National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers' association grew out of a gathering of mothers in the National Kindergarten and Elemen- tary college in 1894. This was the first convocation of mothers ever held and from this in- ceptive meeting came the great Na- tional Congress of Mothers organized by Mrs. Theodore W. Birney and Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst. Continuously since this first meeting, for nearly two decades, the college has fostered and strengthened this linking of the par- ents of children with the teachers of children for the benefit of children and education. For this reason the north sihore Parent-Teachers asso- ciations in each town are gladly en- dorsing the splfendid work of this college, soon to be located in Evans- ton-Wilmette.
