September 22, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Hadley School for Blind Experiences Wholesome Growth By Alfred Allen (Executive secretary) With the vacation period behind them, students of the Hadley Corre- spondence School for the Blind are again taking up their work with zeal and industry. More than 250 new students have been enrolled during the eight months of 1928, and there are now over 450 students at work. An interesting letter was received re- cently from a blind woman, over 50, living in Kansas, which we quote below, m part: "Much as I enjoy my work with the Hadley school, I find it often necessary to sidetrack it for economic reasons. I need my time to earn a living. The Hadley school has aided me materially in doing this. During the mornings of the sum- mer I spent my time coaching children who were having difficulties with school work and for that reason could not enter the regular summer schools. I have been so successful in bringing them through their difficulties that a number of mothers have spoken to me about helping their children for short periods. I am one of the members of our Publicity Committee for our State Association for the Blind, and my work in the English Department of your school has made the writing much easier, and a little better, I hope. I also wrote an article for the Christian Science Monitor for which I received a small check. So while I am delinquent in my work I am really using what I have learned. I am telling you this because I believe you are interested in the results which your training brings. I would not take a great deal for the benefits I have derived from the courses, and the thought that I can continue to grow is a source of keenest satisfaction to me." Scout Program to Begin at Center Next Thursday Scout work has enthusiastically be- gun again for the year, with the boys in the four troops at Community House. Head Scoutmaster J. W. F. Davies, and Scoutmasters Eisenbrand, Doepel, Brown and Sherman Aldrich met the boys Thursday evening. Regis- trations were taken, and troop activi- ties begun. Any boy 12 years of age or over can enter this organization and it is important that all boys interested register at once, as it is important that they start as early as possible. Scouts meet each Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock. New boys are asked to be on hand next Thursday. The O. Curtiss Stens, who have re- sided at 818 Foxdale avenue, have bought the new Spanish house on Chestnut street at Indian Hill road and will move into it shortly. Wins Fell Cup Howard Carpenter won this cup and the 1928 championship of the Win- netka Playfield Golf course in the final match with W. Washburne. It was a 36-hole event in which Carpenter tri- umphed 6 up and 5 to go. "PANTHERS" ARE BACK "The Panthers," boys' club at Com- munity House, will hold its first meet- ing of the year Friday evening, Sep- tember 28, in Community House. Richard Fairclough who has been highly successful with this group for some time, will be the leader again this year. The boys are eager to be- gin the club activities and a complete attendance is looked for on Friday. David Schmid, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Schmid of 355 Linden avenue, left last Sunday for Williams college. Give Your Party Here!
