SUMMER SCHOOL APPLIES LATEST SPELLING TESTS An interesting experiment in the teaching of spelling is being tried in the Winnetka summer school. All the children are first tested on the complete Ayres list of the 1000 words most commonly used in letter writ- ing. Then each child makes a list of all the words which he has mis- spelled, and this list becomz his course of study in spelling. To it are added any words which he mis- spells in his regular written work. By this means each child studies only those words which he does not know, and thereby saves a grezat deal of time. An ingenious system has been worked out for testing each child in- dividually on his own list of mis- spelled words. It is hoped that by saving the child's time, and by giv- ling him a clear-cut view of exactly what lies before him, unusually good results will be achieved in the spell- ing work this summer. If the ex- periment is successful, the plan will be tried on a larger scale in the regular schoal session next year. SEEK OLD CLOTHING AND CLEAN RAGS FOR ARDEN Old clothing is needed {for the women and children of Arden Share Rest Camp at Lake Bluff.

MACKLIN GOING TO LONDON TO IDENTIFY MAIMED SON Charles G. Macklin of Kenilworth left this week for London to learn whether an injured American soldier in a London military hospital is really his son, Lieutenant Charles Purcell Macklin. Mrs. Macklin and her little daughter Mary had hoped to go, but found that red tape in getting pass- ports would delay them. Identifica- tion will be positive if it is found that he is wearing a ring with the Mack- lin crest." This ring has been in the family for many generations and was made when the Macklin family was in England. Cables from London state that the injured man wears a ring with a crest, but whether it is the Macklin crest is not known. « Winnetka Wins Game The Winnetka baseball team de- feated the Ramblers of Evanston 19 to 11 Sunda at the Elm street diamond.
