Schell 'andiCo., Holds 30th enlarging the school accomodations? | : Perhaps the west of the Village is | Semi-annuz! Clearance Sale; A improving enough to warrant a] school in that vicinity but I believe if a thorough investigation is made, that the conditions in the north and northeast sections will be seen to need the schools enlarged at once. As to the centralization plan it seems that it would come as near as possible to the days of the "little red school house" to give a child a little tin dinner pail and send him a mile and a half or two miles to school. I can remember my grandfather tell about going two miles to school through snowdrifts, dear old man, I do not believe he knew any more for that experience. The principal reason advanced for the projected site seems to be the acreage to be obtained for a small | price. I attended a school in Chi- cago where two good sized buildings occupied one half a square block. At recess the whole number of pu- pils were turned loose for fifteen minutes, yet I could mention four or five representative men of the city who graduated from that school. In those days the brain was develop- ed not the arms and legs. The system of a child from ten to fifteen years is at a low ebb, their health in after years depends upon the watchfulness and care bestow- ed upon them during those years. Let us not do them injustice to send them so far. After a child has walked as far as some would be obliged to, both to and from, at the proposed dist- ance, he would not require any play- ground exercise. It seems that Winnetka can afford to have three or if need be four district schools well equipped so that pupils can have the facilities for a aood complete up-to-date education, fitting them well for higher schools and developing their minds in a pro- gressive manner for the years when they will have to cope with those who have had the best legacy, a good education. If the Village can raise funds to beautify the business district and otherwise improve the town, the same means can be employed to have good schools. Where there is a will there is a way if there is interest enough to find it. Let each district have its school and not be so primitive as to send children a mile and a half or two miles to school. If there are any who are so interested in improving the west part of the town and must have the proposed site, let them pur- chase and build a reform school, there are boys about town, that a school of such nature would be a blessing, and also remove them from other schools where they are a menace to others. This is the most important matter the Village has to handle. Parents, wake up and solve this problem. Many of you will kick later--why not NOW. =A Parent. Did they select June 28 for the Democratic convention because it is the anniversary of the peace treaty or because it's the anniversary of the Frisco eathquake? -- Washington Chance to Whack H. C. L.

KEEP THOSE PET CANINES OFF THE STREETS--POLICE Dogs running at random through the Village street, becoming suddenly voraciously inclined, executed a mass attack on a certain pet canine Wed- nesday and police, who arrived to scatter the pack, found the defend- ant in a miserably battered condi- tion. It was found necessary to summon the services of a veter- inary. "Too many dogs are running loose," says Chief of Police Peter- son. "They follow the children to school. They have been discovered annoying the children while at play on the school grounds. Residents are asked to keep their pet canines on the premises lest a dog muzzling order be placed in effect to curb the prevalent nuisance." { LIKE U. S.
