FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1919 The Fourth Of July The Fourth of July is just three weeks away. The anniversary of the establish- ment of the independence of the United States is a day that has pe- | culiar significance in this year "which is seeing so many nationalities added to the list of those that govern them- selves and dispense the business of their own public institutions. This is Independence . year for many people and it makes a demand | upon us of the Unitad States that | other years have not held, the cele-| bration of the birthday of our nation in a way that shall signify the ap- preciation of the American people of that liberty that our forefathers wrung from the mother country that | these new nations of Europe may be able to place a valuation upon their | own independence that is commen- surate with its importance. Since the celebration of the first peace day, that premature exprassion of joy for the return of peace to the earth, on through the reception of | the various returning bodies of our troops, the American people have learned to voice a fervor of patriot- ism that it would have been impos- sible to arouse before our liberties were threatened and our honor questioned. The celebration of Independence "day this year ought to be made to typify this new appreciation of what it means to be an American, what it means to belong to a free and inde- pendent nation, what it means to have fought for and won the respect of all other nations, and to have it 'known throughout the world that America stands for all that is right, and just and honorable in interna- tional dealing. i The temptation will be to resort to /'noisemaking as an expression of pa- 'itriotism, to the explosion of fire- "works of all varieties, fo the ob- servance of the nation's birthday 'after the old fashion which carried 'with it a long list of casualties, dead and woundzd. This Village has in the past had "and enforced very strict regulations las to the method of celebration of i the Fourth of July. There should be 1 no letting down of the bars this year "but rather an insistence upon the safe and sane Fourth and such cere- " monies as will be consistent with the dignity of the occasion and com- mensurate with the meaning of the day which is being commemorated. The Trackless Trolley It hasn't been so long ago that faith in the horseless carriage was at an 5 i exceedingly low ebb. It was only the visionary who believed that the streets of the city would sometime be crowded by vehicles driven by an unseen force. Today new wonders are happening everyday, new appli- cations made of old principles, new laws applied to old problems. There is no need for the people of the twentieth century to doubt any wonderful invention. Whan we may telephene without wires, send mes- sages across the sea without other medium than the air, when we have conquered the realm of the skies for traffic, when we have learned how to travel beneath the waves, there is no reason to suppose that anything is impossible.

' GROWTH OF VILLAGE MAKES NECESSARY" The re lin ers © NEW SCHOOL ROOMS: ' Saturday F die 14 The increass in Winnetka popula- tion has necessitated the adding of two new grades to the school system next year. Skokie school is to have a new primary room to consist of first and second grade children. There are 51 children in the present first grade at Skokie. Most of these will' be going on into second. The anticipated enrollment for first grade next year in the Skokie school is 'about 50 children, making a total of 100 first and second grade child- ren in that school next year. This necessitates three instead of two teachers for the lower two grades. The manual training room at Skokie will be finished up and made over in- to a primary room to accommodate this extra class. 'The néw fourth grade is to be at Horace Mann school. Two full sized third grade classes at Horace Mann school are being premoted. And since there is now culy one fourth grade, it becomes necessary to- establish a new class room to taka care of the promoted children. ; The above arrangement, on recom- mendation of the superintendent of schools, was passed by the Board of Bryant in 'Putting NEXT WEEK Mon. and Tues., Wednesday / June 18 Ethel Clayton in Men, Women and Money and "The Carter Case" Thursday Dorothy Gish in "I'll Get Him Yet" June 19 Wednesday evening. $25,000.
