Mm. Beuj. W in mead. ing a few weeks at Luke Gone" with her father, Mr. Fuirbanh, of Chicago. Hr. Horace L. Winslow won the. first . f for class honors (s 8125 set 0} lswbooks) at the commence- ment exercises of the Chung!) Law School s week sgo'l'hnrsdsy The faculty at first reported that Mr. Wins10w wu' swsrded the second prize (s 850 set of books) but it has since been lesrned that the faculty was modest at Mr. Winslow's expense, The tax levy.of 811,000 for ed- ucational purposes, made by the Winnetka Board of Education for the current year, has been cut down by the county oficials to $8.662. this being the‘ 2 per cent. limit prescribed by law. This leaves the Board of Education in an embarrassing condition, as all contracts and expenses for the {ear were based on the 311,000 evy. There are three ways out of the dilliculty open to the Board. First, to drop the kindergarten,- manualtraining, music and draw- ing; second, to use funds levied for building purposes for current expenses; third, to close the school for part of the ensuing year. Is it legaL to use money levied for building purposes for current expenses ?_ . Our village has lately suffered «from considerable inconvenience from the deeds of the hoodlum element. It may pay our coun- «cilmen to ferret out and make an example of some of these ofi'end- ers. -Lnst' week a large tree on Elm . street was scarred, holes bored and salt put in it. When later the tree was covered with straw to protect it some incendiary set fire to this. The latest outrage of this class is the breaking "of the red dangepsignal lantern and some water pipe in front of. Prof. Fa- vonr’s new property on Elm street. The plumber,' George Bissett, is supposed to ‘snfier for accidents caused thmugh the absence of this red lantern. But he will take care to have a witness to the plac- ing of the ( signal. In thatâ€"case should injury result it - is evident the city would be fined and there is no doubt that the offender would be caught and dealt with to the full extent of the law.
