WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1920. 9 NEW TRIER SUMMER SCHOOL IS SUCCESS Summer School Principal F.C. Windo- es Tenders Interesting Report to High School Board The accompanying report directed to the Board of Education of New Trier High school by Summer school Principal F. C. Windoes, setting forth briefly and comprehensively the work of the school, will be of in- terest to readers of The Lake Shore News, particularly parents who have a direct interest in this department of the high school work. August 13, 1920. To the Board of Education: The summer session just-complet- ed was perhaps the most successful yet held at New Trier. About 235 students registered for the summer school work and approximately 93 per cent remained the entire eight weeks. Another encouraging feature of this year's summer session was the fact that 83 per cent of the students enrolled for two subjects. The re- gistration this year was about 50 per cent larger than the registration in last year's summer school. This in- crease in the registration was especially gratifying in view of the fact that our natatorium was not in use. The natatorium has heretofore been an added inducement for sum- mer school attendance. Previous to the opening of the summer school a circular letter was sent to the parents of the eighth grade graduates, in which the ad- vantages of our summer school were enumerated. As a result 50 of the graduates from the grammar schools were in attendance at New Trier. This means that about one-fourth of the incoming Freshman class will have become somewhat acquainted with high school work; this should tend to decrease the number of failures among the Freshmen this coming year. The summary of the work offered was as follows: Subject No. of Teachers Classes Algebra ..........5 Grinnell, Kahler Wright, Win- does English... «v.53 Hutchens, Whitfield, Wright History and Civics 4 Ulrich, War- | burg i Geometry ......:. 2 Snyder Farin .......

Approximately 80 per cent of those who remained during the entire session receive school credit. T feel that the greatest single faé- tor which contributed to the success of our summer school was the loyal and unqualified support which was given me by the entire summer school faculty. I take this opportunity to thank the members of the Board of Education for again entrusting me with. the sunervision of the summer school. Respectfully submitted, F. C. Windoes, Principal of Summer Schools." THE STUFF THAT COUNTS The test. of a man is the fight he makes, The grit that he daily shows; The wav he stands on his feet and takes Fate's numerous bumps and hlows. A coward can smile when there's naught to fear, When nothing his progress bars. But it takes a man to stand up and cheer While some other fellow stars. Tt isn't the victory, after all, But the fight that a brother makes; The man who, driven against the wall, Still stands up erect and takes The hlows of fate with his head held high, Bleeding, and bruised and pale, Is the man who'll win in the by and by. For he isn't afraid to fail. Tt's the bumps you get, and the jolts vou get. And the shocks that your courage stands, The hours of sorrows and vain regret, The prize that escapes your hands, That test your mettle and prove your worth; Tt isn't the blows you deal. But the blows you take on the good old earth That shows if your stuff is real, To labor with zest, and to give of your best, For the sweetness and joy of the giving, To help folks along, with a hand and a song, Why, there's a real sunshine of living. --Robert W. Service, istical department of a large life in- AUTO ACCIDENTS ARE ON THE INCREASE Chicago.--With statistics showing that automobile accidents are killing men, women and children at an aver- age of one every thirty-five minutes, the Ninth Annual Safety council, at its session in Milwaukee September 27 to October 1, will devote much attention to this serious situation. In St. Louis, Cleveland and other cities local councils of the National Safety council have already reduced the number of automobile accidents by the united effort of public offi- cials, civic organizations and public- spirited citizens, and it is planned to make the work nation-wide in scope. S. J. Williams, secretary and chief engineer of the National Safety council, is authority for the state- ment that three times as many are killed in all public accidents as in all industrial accidents, including railroads, mines, public utilities, con- struction work, etc, as well as fac- tories. According to present indica- tions and the experience of past years, the number of automobile fatalities in 1920 will be about two- thirds of all industrial fatalities. This situation is alarming enough without exaggeration. The most alarming feature of it is that, while industrial accidents have been decreasing, due to the energetic safety work of the large industrial companies which are members of the National Safety coun- cil, and while the public accidents on steam and electric railroads have been decreasing as a result of similar work, the number of automobile ac- cidents has been increasing very rap- idly. Figures just compiled for the National Safety council by the stat- surance company show that the death rate from railway accidents per mil- lion of population has decreased in ten years from 130 to 105; from street railway accidents, from 36 to 28; from accidents on other vehicles, from 41 to 27; while the death rate from automobile accidents has in- creased in ten years from 8 to 92. The latter figure was reached in 1918 cities indicate that the rate is still going up. Think It over--Advertise Advertising Is Economy USUALLY "What are you going to name the "Nothing.
