gs oN WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1922 DAY SCHOOL PROJECT UNDERWAY Proposed group of buildings to supplant the present structures of the North Shore Day School at Win- netka. The 14%, acres of ground the school has under lease are now the school property by recent pur- chase, the directors announce. oGHOOL LAUNCHES BUILDING PROJECT Country Day School Has New Plans North Shore Country Day school has been incorporated and announces the purchase of the 141, acres of ground it has been using in Winnetka and construction of the first of a group of buildings to cost $275,000 to supplant the present structures. The first unit is an upper school building to cost $80,000 and ground has already been broken. "The North Shore Country Day school at Winnetka, after two years tentative operation has now been in- corporated as a permanent institution not for profit," the directors announce. "Negotiations have been concluded whereby the corporation will acquire title from Francis King Cooke to about 1414 acres of land and the buildings thereon, located between Forest avenue and Church street, Winnetka. The school has been oper- ating in the old buildings on this site during the formative period," the an- nouncement continues. First Unit Underway "The purchase of this valuable prop- erty and the new buildings planned, permanently assure to the residents of the North Shore a modern and beautiful institution comparable to the best preparatory schools of the coun- try. "Ground has already been broken for the erection of the first unit, an upper school building, which dis part of the comprehensive plan. "About three years ago a group of Winnetka men persuaded Perry Dun- lap Smith to consider the develop- ment of such a school, and the offer was finally accepted. Since its in- ception, in spite of inadequate equip- ment, the growth of the school has been remarkable, the enrollment of pupils last year amounting to 285 with a waiting list of 175, Directors Praise Public School "Organized as a corporation not for profit, non sectarian in character and administered by a large staff of com- petent teachers, the school will round cut and supplement the excellent but already crowded facilities of the pub- lic schools on the North Shore. The association between the faculties of the North Shore school and the neigh- boring public schools has been a source of benefit to both groups. "The board of directors responsible for the business management of the school comprises the following Win- netka residents: Frederick H. Scott, Calvin Fentress, Cornelius Lynde, Agyes Boal, Robert H. Ripley, Willoughby G. Walling, Robert Stevenson, jr., H. Spaulding Coffin, and Charles T. Mordock.
