I believf' in it from the bottom of my heart." KINDERGARTEN COllEGE REVIEWS ACHIEVEMENTS Financial Status Good A most encouraging report on the financial status of the school was given by Fred A. Cuscaden, treasurer of the Board of Trutees, who opened his remarks with the statement that the college is rapidly nearing the point where it can be caiJed a 41 million dollar institution," and proceeded to give the figures to back up his statement. Dean .] ohn E. Stout of the School of Education, Northwestern . university, and a member of the board of Trustees of the kindergarten college, spoke briefly of the relationship between the two institutions and suggested four reasons for the steadily growing reputation of the college. "It attracts a superior type of young woman ; it sends its students out with an inquiring-, open mind and a desire to learn, which is one of the marks of leadership in an educational institution; it gets enormous returns on the money it spends; its president and members of the faculty are recognized as leaders in their respective fields in a dav when it is difficult to keep up with the times, to say nothing of being ahead of them." · Miss Baker's annual report gave the enrollment for the vear as 814 and the significance of this number 'may be realized when it is compared with the enrollment of 196 students ten years ago.

WE ARE NOW CUTTING PRICES; Strong resistance ~o this policy is encountered and we are being severly criticis~d by some tradesmen. Many suburban communities are now enjoying the privileges of a first-rate, cut pr1ce, shop-and-save drug store, with shared profits, quick turn over and fresh, clean stock. Does Wilmette really wish cut-priced drugs, <;heaper and first-class prescription work, rich bulk ice cream for SOc a quart, etc.? We will obey your voted wish. ~--------------~-------------------------------------------------~ ACTUAL BALLOT Being Interested in the Development of Wilmette Growth Along All Lines "There has been growth along all lines-in faculty numbers and a broader curriculum. in the enrollment in college and children's school and in physical equipment." said 'Miss Ba~er, "but most significant are the establishment of a · c::!'ecial department for the carrying on of parental education and the raising of the standard of teacher training to three years in order to meet the increasing demand for teachers with this more adequate preparation. "The fact that the enrollment has held its own in spite of the chanlre is most encouraging and should indicate a permanent increase when the effect of the increased number of third-year c::turl ts shows in the enrollment of 1929. As a matter of fact, the effect of the new rulinlr is alr~>ady felt in the numbers returning this fall for the third and fonrth vears-more than rlouble the enrollment of any previous ve~r in these classes."
