North Shore Festival great festival just held at Patten Gymnasium in Evanston was a north shore undertaking. \ · Ve don't know whether any non-Evanston people were on the various managing boards or committees, hut whether there were or not the fact still remains that the fe stiva l was a north shore affair. Hundreds in the audience every evening came from communities above the north limits of Evanston. We know thi s to be true because vie have met many ,o f them on the road , a nd in the big hall. Many of our n~ighbors-we live outside · of Evanston-go to all the concerts every year. The festival singers and players and hearers are discussed at many Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka and Glencoe dinner s. The success of the festival is a source of pride to the entire north shore. That the ,orchestra and chorus arouse spontaneous and enthusiastic applausej truly gratifies every true music lover from Chicago to Waukegan. We all point ,,·ith pride to the names of the famous soloi sts on the festival programs. We are confident that the festival will grow in value and popularity and become increasingly an event .of much more than local importance. Resolutions of condolence, cards ot thanks, obituary, notloee of entertainments or ottler affairs where an admittance cliar~e Ia put»Uahed, \IV·Ill be charged at regular advertising rates.

Ouri communitv hi~h school is now about as old as the ZOth century. A quarter of a century is a notable stretch f.or an individual or an institution. That's why the Quarto-Centennial anniversary, to be observed on June 14 and 15, is a solemn event and one to be celebrated with unusual ceremony. . Per~aps t~e most apparent changes durmg thts penod are the increases in size of the student population and in the number of th~ school buiding£; also we might here mentwn merely in passing the rapid and revolutionary changes in feminine styles. rhis brief mention brings ' up the eternal query-Why do the girls of yesteryear look so tame and those of today so wild? The modification during the quarter century in the subject matter of the courses that is n1ost significant is the turning away from the ancient language s to the indu strial arts of manual training and d,o mestic economy. It would also seem as if more value were placed on all branches of a thletics than used to he. This is an evidence of growing respect for the body as against the fonner glorification of the mind and ~o ul.

This trimming down will not disfigure the shrubs, but on the contrarr in manv cases improve them. .:\nd it \riil ""ithout douht prevent collisions at street intersections and consequent injury and loss of life. No driver, man or \roman , cares to cotne to a full stop at every crossing- in order to make sure that no vehicles are approaching on the inter sect ing street. 1\foreoYer. most dri\'ers, especially if young-, will not stop to make this inspec tion but will take the chance of collision. J\Iost car ovvners will easily admit that there is no driving· -, o dang-erous as approaching streets, when a view of the se streets is obstructed by high shrubs like lilacs or spireas. One can avoid a car coming directly towards one, hut it take s great skill and good luck to a void running into a car that is about to dash across one's path. Therefore, if owners do not within a reasonable time trin1 do\vn their shrubs at intersections, the proper .village author'ity should enforce the ordinance by · doing the work himself and charging the expense to the unwilling property holder.

Gra:duates ARTOONISTS take great pleasure in depicting graduates as problem sol\'ers for the universe. Old and practiced executives in business and g.o vernment are represented as welcoming with open arms college graduates and presenting to them fur their solution the vexing problems of wages, profit sharing, crime, prohibit ion, graft. !\o doubt this poking of fun at the graduates and indirectly at the schools amuses readers in ·g enerai and especially those readers who have covered only a limited area of the educational field. We suppose that the cartoons give great joy to selfmade men. Such cartoons doubtless help to support the biased opinion that education is "mostlv bunk." What sort of education would our wise cartoonists prescribe? On what subjects should be assigned our students for their graduation papers and speeches? Shall the college and high school administrators assign such themes as How to Boil Eggs, or Methods of Sales Prom,o tion?
