iA fs ES . hour. WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1920 SCHOOL PROBLEMS By Supt. Washburne Q.--Is it true that there are vacant rooms at Greeley while children are being crowded into the Herace Mann school? A.--No, there are classes in every room in the Greeley school, includ- ing the assembly hall. The growth of the southeast part of Winnetka necessitated the establishing of a new primary room in the Greeley building this year. This has forced the seventh grade out. One of the rooms at Greeley became so crowded this year that children had to be transferred up to Horace Mann. At the Horace Mann the congestion is for the most part in the number of classes which have to be accom- modated within a single building rather than in the number of chil- dren to each class. Very few of the actual class rooms at Horace Mann are overcrowded. There is one room at the Skokie school built for a manual training room which could be used for a class room, but there is no practical means of transplanting a whole class from the Horace Mann school to Skokie, nor would the transplanting of one class obviate any of the makeshifts to which we have had to resort in the Horace Mann building. . Q.--Woudn't almost anything be better than having classes sit all day in the basement at Horace Mann? A.--Fortunately this condition does not exist. The manual training and domestic science room, it is true, are used as session rooms, but this does not involve any class sitting in these rooms for more than one period at a time. Under the departmental sys- tem classes rotate, and each group spends much more time in class rooms upstairs than in the manual training and domestic science rooms. Both of these rooms, although in the baement, do get direct sunlight, and while objectionable from many stand- points are in no may a menace to the health of the children. (Q.--Is there any foundation for the report that a number of seventh and eighth grade children are paying tui- tion to attend the Kenilworth school rather than stay in the Winnetka schools? : A.--No Winnetka children are pay- ing tuition to attend the Kenilworth school. One child whose home is in Winnetka is living with an uncle in Kenilworth this year on account of illness in her family. Another child whose family is about to move to Kenilworth is being allowed to at- tend the Kenilworth school so as to avoid a transfer in the middle of the term. It may be that these two cases have given rise to the report men- tioned. THIS LITTLE BOY GOT IN BAD CONSIDERABLY Wilmette Youth Meets Up Against the Stern and Determined Win- netka Coppers Paul Moore, 16 years of age, of 531 Washington avenue, Wilmette, will think at least twice before he again takes his. father's machine out for a race along Sheridan road in Win- netka. Early this week Moore was ap- prehended by policemen Hanselman and Balkow breezing along the boule- vard in the vicinity of Willow street at the modest pace of 60 miles an He was given the customary yellow slip. On Wednesday afternoon, the time set for the hearing before Justice Byron Nelson, motorcycle policeman George Schaefer, of Wilmette, appear- ed in court in the stead of the de- fendant. He handed the slip to Justice Nelson, explaining the while that young Moore had informed him that he was not the guilty person but, that some other person had very evidently employed his name. Now Hanselman scented bad busi- ness and forthwith repaired himself to the New Trier High school where young Moore is wont to spend much laborious time. Moore was brought before the high school authorities and eventually confessed guilt. Be- ing a minor he was placed under the watchful eye of Juvenile officer, Mrs. Thurston. INDOOR BASEBALL A meeting was held Friday night at Community House for the purpose of organizing an indoor league for the coming season, games to be played on Wednesday evenings at Commun- ity House. The league will open next Wednesday evening. TEACHERS HONORED The Misses Austin, Payne and Harry, teachers at Horace: Mann school will be hostesses next Friday afternoon at a tea given in honor of the other teachers of the school. ACCEPTS BANK POSITION Noble Hale, who has been employed as a clerk in the Winnetka "State Bank, has accepted a position in a banking house at Racine, Wis. Being a Big Story of a Real Sacrifice Kashian Brothers Sell Rugs At Big Reductions To Help Destitute Relatives in Armenia Ten years ago a pair of youthful Armenians came to this vicinity and established a modest but prosperous oriental rug cleaning business. The business came to be known along the north shore as Kashian Brothers Rug Cleaners. The Kashian brothers have enjoyed average prosperity, and pleasant and peaceful life far away from the turmoil and upheaval in the home land. You will be surprised then, to hear that, in the face of these facts, M. and K. Kashian are quite unhappy. Back in Armenia are two sisters, widowed by the gory hand of the "unspeakable Turk". Also there are their seven chilren, orphaned as a result of the furious massacres. They are in desperate circumstances, sur- viving by some happy trick of fate the death-dealing hand of the mussel- man, only to face what is probably a less humane death by starvation. The Kashian brothers are determ- ined to help. They are determined to make every sacrifice to help the dear ones who are in need. They will not rest until these dear ones are taken away from the scenes of carn- age and misery and brought safely to the friendly refuge of America, the land that has been so kind to the Kashian brothers. In order to realize this .ambition the Kashian brothers have decided upon a plan to raise quickly the necessary funds. ; It is planned to convert into cash a large part of the stock at the estab- lishment at 1145 Greenleaf Ave., Wil- mette. To accomplish this every rug is to be reduced in prices from 15 to 25 per cent. Rugs are displayed at the Rambo Hat Shop, at 1168 Wil- mette avenue. The shop will be open during the evening each day in the week throughout the period of the sale. The Kashian brothers have sacri- ficed many conveniences and pleasur- es in the past few years to provide funds for destitute relatives in Ar- menia. They have gone 'to the ex- tent of fitting up simple living quarters at the rear of their place of business to avoid high rentals. Residents of the north shore who are in the market for real bargains will no doubt invite this opportunity for economy and lending aid to those who are in need. MOTOR FIRM ANNOUNCES SALE OF THREE CARS Andrew Hostnick of The Winnetka Motor company reports the follow- ing sales of cars this week: An Overland "4" touring to John C. Welter of the North Shore Electric company; Albert Gertsdorf of Glen- view has purchased an Overland tour- ing car, model "79", while a Ford taxi has been sold to the North Shore livery.

A new lighting system has been in- stalled in the club housg and every precaution has been tak to render it absolutely safe and fire proof.
