| 8 : WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1920 WINNETKA PUPILSRANK HIGH IN STATE TESTS Display Exceptional Qualities in Rep- resentative Reading Test Recent- ly Completed _ Winnetka's school children have just an average degree of native in-, tellectual ability, but by the time they reach the seventh and eighth grades they are able to read with greater comprehension and speed than most other children in the state, according to a report just received from the Bureau of Educational Research at the University of Illinois. Last spring this Bureau asked the Winnetka school to cooperate in an effort to measure the native in- telligence and reading ability of school children. Winnetka was one of 16 Illinois cities to take part in this work. All sixth, seventh, and eighth grade children were given a test identical with that given in the other fifteen Illinois cities. The re- sult showed that the average native intellectual ability of the Winnetka children in all three grades was eighth in rank among the sixteen cities. It showed further that the sixth grade children ranked ninth in speed of reading, but rose to sixth place in comprehension of reading. innetka seventh grade children held eighth place in speed of reading, but second place in understanding what they read. Our eighth grade chil- dren made an unusually good record, standing third in speed of reading te m m m H D (t lo has acquired quartet of teams, not of the equine variety but of indoor stars.

Boosts Individual Plans Miss Florence Brett who had charge of all eighth grade reading at the time the test was given at- tributes the high ranking of the eighth grade children to the change in the curriculum and individual method of instruction introduced in the upper grades last fall. "Under the news system", Miss Brett said, "the children cover a much wider range of literature than heretofore. In- stead of each child reading a very few books intensively, each reads a larger number of books in literature and gets his practice in intensive reading when studying such subjects as geography and history. By means of the individual system no pupil is held back in his reading by other members of the class. There is there- fore a greater degree of interest in what is read." te w D m FAVERSHAM WILL STAR ers of the league. followed by a brace of "scrub" games which gave some of the hurlers an opportunity to loosen up for a flag race destined to rival the one of last year at the termination of which three nines were tied.for first place.

Al- though both cars were considerably smashed none of the occupants of either car suffered any injuries ex- cept a severe shaking up. . IN MOVIE PROGRAM HERE Community House movies for next | Friday evening include William Faversham in "The Man Who Lost Himself", Andy Gump in "The Model" and Kinogram News Weekly. The management states in regard to the feature picture for the evening: William Faversham's first Selznick picture, "The Man Who Lost Him- self," indicates that Mr. Faversham's popularity as a screen artist will even surpass his great vogue as a star of the spoken drama. Mr. Faversham's artistry and finish- ed performance in the dual role call- ed for by the story delighted the audience from beginning to end. As the Yankee who becomes an Eng- lish Earl against his will, he is ad- mirable. There are tensely dramatic situations as well as light and de-| licious comedy, and the exquisite Faversham manner lends a charm to the production which lifts it far above the level of the average screen drama. The story, written by H. de Vere Stacpoole, has a novel plot construc- tion and affords Mr. Faversham end- less opportunities for registering ef- fectively in every key. Skillful di- rection and an excellent supporting cast help to make this an ideal pro- duction. NEW DRUGGIST The new druggist at work behind the counters of the Winnetka phar- 'macy is Earl Wells of Momence, Ill. Pharmacist Wells and family are making their home in Winnetka.
