MOTORIST OF TODAY GETS MORE FOR HIS MONEY THAN IN 1914 SCHOOL PROBLEMS By Supt. Washburne You'll never believe this--but it's true! The motorist gets more for his dollar than he did in 1914. Of course, when J. Herman Honk- honk and family roll haughtily up to the entrance of the Hotel Palatial and give the waiter writer's cramp Q.--How can you avoid serious con- fusion under the individual system when all children are doing different things?

The practice work has been bound up in| booklet form for each child so that | he can turn to the particular page of practice work that fits the weak- ness shown by the test. The child corrects his own practice work and marks himself on it. It does him no good to cheat in this since his pro- motions and the O.

His chest swells with a sense of ownership of this speedy, comfortable and sturdy machine, and he chuckles in reminiscence "as he remembers the fragile, uncomfortable "teapot" he bought a decade ago when automobiles were "horseless carriages". One paid dearly for mo- toring in the early days. "Guess I'll buy a new tire," muses the lord and master of the Honkhonk clan, as his eye travels to the worn right rear. "Don't want to get caught without a good spare," he adds. With the memory of that big din- ner check still ranking, "J. H." runs over to the hotel garage and orders a new casing and tube. A sigh of relief escapes when he finds the price is the same as he paid last year. "Whazzamatter, haven't tires gone up?" "Only 37 per cent since 1914" re- plies the garage man, "but at that VILLAGE OF WINNETKA NOTICE Winnetka, Illinois, Sept. 25, 1920.
