THE PRESS bnllet D‘ >‘ New Musical Talent » / _ at Presbyterian Church May Bar Ft. Sheridan Children from School at Highwood ; Cost Cause Close to 70 children, who are puâ€" pils in the Highwood . elementary schools, face the possibilty of being barred next fall unless the ‘present problem that has been bothering ofâ€" ficials for the last fow years is straightened out, says the Waukegan Times, and adds: These youngsters are the children of officers and enlisted men from the Fort Sheridan military reservation. As they are not a part of a school disâ€" trict and as there is no provision for them paying tuition, the public school system of Highwood is forced to care for them free. "Highwood has trouble enough fiâ€" nancing its schools as it is and with this additional burden the expense is so great that the board cannot bear it," T. A. Simpson, county superinâ€" tendent of schools, declared. "The government, through its laws, forces children to attend school and forces communities to build schools but at the same time it has never provided a way to pay for the eduâ€" cation of its employes," he declared. The problem has been carried as far as State‘s Attorney A. V. Smith for an opinion, it has been learned. Col. Smith, sensing the nature of difficulty, sent the problem to Attorâ€" ney General Oscar Carlstrom for an opinion. The attorney general contends that these children cannot be refused from a sehool, but there are provisions, he points out in his opinion, for payiment for those under the nonâ€"high school act. f Sunset Valley Golfer _ Wins District Title Wm.

Grounds About Library Buildâ€" ing and Adjacent Park Property Landscaped PLAN IMPROVEMENT OF NEW PARK SOON Plans for improving and landscapâ€" ing new park grounds for Highland Park, surrounding the new library building, are rapidly nearing compleâ€" tion, according to Edward M. Laing, superintendent of the East Park disâ€" trict. â€" Bids for construction part of the improvement will be ::eq_:eived August 4 by the city board of local improveâ€" ments. : Work will include grading, landscaping and planting of the plot of ground west of the present library building and south to the city hall site.

The new building will be located near the east property line, allowing adequate and uniform treatment of â€" the grounds. The hopes of the democratic party for its state, district, and county ticket, Monday night brightened to the extent that leaders are discussing their November chances with a deâ€" cided note of optimism. John O‘Keefe, of Highland Park, member of the.board of review and chairman of the Democratic County | Central committee, admitted, says the Waukegan Times, that the hopes for a candidate for the circuit judgeâ€" ship had been dimmed by the refusal | of Attorney Clarence Diver to make | the race. With land controlled by the city and the East Park district, park frontage along the entire block south from Laurel avenue, on St. John‘s avenue, will be available. Two hundred and fifty feet immeâ€" diately north of the city hall site will be added under the present plan. Plans to provide nucleus for the new community center, clubhouse and amusement center at Sunset Valley Golf club may be made possible folâ€" lowing erection of the new library building, according to Superintendent Laing. x County Democrats Pin Meeting at Waukegan "Mr. Diver is pledged to Ralph J. Dady. ‘He agreed to support the canâ€" didate that was the choice of the maâ€" jority of the members of the Lake County Bar association and for this reason he has to be for Mr. Dady and will not consider making the race himself," the chairman said. Plans for the November election, and the campaign leading up to it, are to be laid by a special commitâ€" tee of seven that was appointed last night. This committec is chairmaned by Charles J. Wightman of Graysâ€" lake and Waukegan. Thursday, July 31, 1930
