WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1922 CHICAGO EDUCATORS LAUD LOCAL SCHOOLS Two Groups of Chicago Prin- cipals Examine -Methods Winnetka's public schools under the direction of Superintendent Wash- burne, are creating nation-wide inter- est because of the unique and efficient methods employed in the "Individual Instruction" system. On Wednesday of this week two groups of principals of the Chicago grammar schools visited Winnetka for the purpose of investigating and ex- amining the educational plan that is causing such widespread interest. The groups that visited Winnetka were two of the seven auxiliaries compris- ing the 350 principals in the Chicago schools, and which are selected to con- duct research work and formulate plans for more progressive teaching methods. John L. Lewis, principal of the Ray- mond school and president of one of the Chicago Principals' auxiliaries, when asked for a statement concern- ing his opinion of the Winnetka In- struction Plan, said: Praises Winnetka System "Our groups are in the habit of in- vestigating new and progressive edu- cational methods. We came to the Winnetka schools to examine the standards here, and to learn what the Winnetka Plan represents. I like the schools, like the methods. Mr. Wash- burne is doing a great work. The school is unique and there are a great many features of Mr. Washburne's sys- tem that might well be adopted, not only in Chicago schools, but in similar schools throughout the country." George A. Beers, another auxiliary leader, when interviewed by a repre- sentative of the Winnetka Talk, said: "The institutions are few that at- tract such general interest among Chi- cago school principals and demand investigation such as we are making. Winnetka shoulld be proud of her splendid school system and the re- markable educational advantages af- forded its school children."
