YOUNG BOYS BROKE WINDOWS IN ACADEMY The police are searching tor some young lads who broke several win- dows in Flsk hall Saturday night, following the breaking up of the student parade. The lads are said to be neither members of the high school nor the academy. No reason for the stone throwing can be given. The police believe the lads are prompted by dev- iltry only.

City National Bank EVANSTON s ILLINOIS "How a public school building may be used by a community," was the topic of an address that was deliv- ered at the Evanston Current Events cjlass Sunday by Prof. Fred- erick W. Nichols, superintendent of schools in district 76. Many school teachers were present. The address gave great satisfaction, as was evi- denced by the number of questions asked. Mr. Frank H. McCulloch pre- sided and introduced Superintendent Nichols. "Seventeen years ago the Evanston board of education appointed a com- mittee on increasing the usefulness of school buildings," said Prof. Nichols. "Under the auspices of this committee, popular lectures were given after school hours and in the evening. Because, perhaps, of lack of advertising, this venture was not al- together a success. Because the southwest district was too far from the Evanston public library, a branch library was formed. Its beginnings were most humble. Four books were taken out the first day. During the last four years this library has been kept open from 4 to 9 p. m. Two teachers were in charge and about 200 persons call each day for books. The people of the community have asked that the young people of the community be organized into clubs. There are now from twenty to twenty-five of these clubs." People Deserve the Credit. Prof. Nichols insisted that the credit for this work should be given to the people. Some of the teachers present felt that Prof. Nichols was a little bit too modest They claim that he ie the real leader and that he always keeps bomethiug going. Mu«.h interest vnxa manifebied in Prof. Nichols' description in the Sun- day afternoon entertainments. Many of the railroads have lecturers and these are very easily secured. These lectures were most instructive. The expense account has been exceeding- ly low. Only $5 has been spent in all the years to provide these splen- did addresses. Often the audience was so large that it couldn't get in the building. "Discovering that the men wouldn't come to the Saturday night sociable because they couldn't dance, a spe- cial dahcing class was organized. Each person is charged 10 cents and about eighty-five are present each week. The most successful class, however, was the week evening class, at which foreigners were taught English. Italians, Swedes, Germans, Lithuan- ians and Greeks attend these classes. The age of the pupils ranges from 18 to 45. No discipline is necessary, and the conduct of all the pupils is marked by courtesy and gratitude. Are Ambitious. They are a cleanly ambitious peo- ple. The dressmaking class, though having a most competent teacher, has not been a success. The milli- ner's club was most popular until after Easter, after which It died. The ber of plays and a minstrel show. At an impromptu entertainment the Swedes and Italians gave their folk dances in costume. The Greeks, de- siring to have a share in the even- ing's fun, insisted upon giving their folk dance. ' Another evening these bright Greeks brought out irotn unl- oago a Greek orchestra, of whose ex- istence nobody knew but the Greeks themselves." Prof. Nichols concluded his address by emphasizing the fact that thje board of education didn't impose these clubs and classes and enter- tainments upon the people; they were the real expression of the peo- ple's desires. The teachers give their services without money and without pricsv Tfce toard of aduea- tlon apprd»ria% mojfey mjm« and heat and janfor sefyic^ All, other money Is given, by tbosfe.wJuf enjoy the good things and by subscribers. Took Issue. Mrs. McCulloch took issue with Prof; Nichols on his day nursery plan. Prof. Nichols believes that It would be a good thing to have a day nur- sery in which mothers who go out to, work might leave their children. Mrs. McCulloch declares it would be better for the city to financially help the-mothers that they will be able to stay home and look after their own children. Prof. Bellows of the New Trier High school told of the many good things that high school was doing. Miss Childs of the Evanston High school told of the new set of build- ings that will enable the local high school to do a similar work. Prof. Davis of a Chicago High school, eaid the Evanston High school was un- fortunately located; that because of its nearness to the railroad it was both noisy and dirty. Mrs. Odell, Mrs. Ennis, Mrs. Moore of the Haven school and others took part in the discussion which followed. PAINTERS ACCIDENTLY SET FIRE TO HOUSE While scorching paint from the home of William Chapman, 731 Mon- roe street, Evanston, with a blow- torch, painters Monday set fire to the house and a good deal of damage was done before the department ar- rived. The painters were blistering the paint so that it could be removed be- fore the new coat was put on. The toTch was held too close to the boards and the house was soon on fire. The fire department was called, but by the time they arrived, the flames were fairly eating the dry boards. The building was damaged to the extent of $l,0tJb while $25 worth of furniture was destroyed. William Hoffstetter, living on the second floor, had $150 damage done to his furniture by the water. Everything was covered by in- surance. FIVE DOGS CAUGHT YESTERDAY BY POLICE Five unmuzzled dogs were captured by the Evanston dog catcher and were taken to the pound where they will be held pending their owners calling for them. Many moie dogs weie seen running without muzzles but all efforts to catch them proved fruitless as the cu- nines were too fast on their feet. The dog catcher will be kept on duty watching for all pets that are un- muzzled. BICYCLE THIEVES ARE WORKING ONCE AGAIN After having had no trouble with bicycle thieves for very nearly two weeks, the Evanston police received a complaint that two wheels had been taken from the vestibule in the Y. M. C. A. building, Monday. The bicycles were taken While the room at the top of the stairs was well crowded with young men. The police believe that another band of boys from Chicago have started oper- ating here again. A close watch will be kept. FLAMES ATTACKED HOME OF JOHN DAVIS Fire of unknown origin damaged the home of John Davis, 1562 Maple avenue, Evanston, Monday afternoon. The furniture was damaged by smoke and water.____________________ The damage done to the building amounted to more than $500,-while the damage to the furniture was placed at $50. Both the building and the furniture were covered by insur- ance. AGREED. "Have you and your husband simi- lar tastes?" **Absolutely"; replied Mrs. FlimgUt.
