Illinois, as mail matter of the ffcond class, under the act of March 2, 1879. FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 1923 TRUCK TRAFFIC We can't get along without motor trucks, and we can't get along with them. We need them for hautinr coal, building mate- rials, and general merchandise, and for moving furniture. They carry big loads rapidly. But they do make big holes in pur roads. They do make a horrible noise. And they do endanger the lives of pedestrians and especially of little children. What are we going to do about it? If the speed and load were les- sened that would help quite a lit- tle. / The damage to the pave- ments would be decreased, and there would be fewer accidents. But we'd lose certain obvious benefits if the '.speed and load A limitation of load to a speci- fied number of tons might work a real advantage. The damage, noise, and danger would be les- sened somewhat and the regula- tion might not work a great hardship to the parties directly concerned in hauling. - Isyit out of the question to build an especially heavy con- crete truck highway running north and south through our communities ? We're fortunate in having such competent men to deal with this problem as H. H. Sherer, New Trier Highway Commissioner, and the Wilmette Chapter of the American Associate of Engin- eers, who recently held their an- nual meeting in Wilmette. Their special committee appointed to deal with this truck-traffic prob- lem will doubtless offer a ^valu- able solution. EDUCATION OF THE NORTH SHORE ^ Herbert Hoover in a recent ar- }-^y "ticle7 sets foffli two ideals for America. The first ideal is "to T^i-. marhTtain a sta*r=where eaeiHn- 11;Individual shall have an equality of SSI Ii<*PPc^r*Mnity to . take that position |in tlie: cbjnmunity to which his in-. j||!j§! telligerice, ability, and ambition ||||§|ientitle^^ |J||||shalI continue in the nation which §}j|§l|m:ay prevent this free rise." ijjllp!The: second ideal is.'"universal jJllUjand efficient. ^ducal^^J^^i}^^ jjffjljlffi^ Illligreat-'doUbJe ideal, of our dem- l§i!if ocracy is adequate; opportunity ||j|||an4.^educ^ lljjiljlllMr.:: Hoover thenâ- '.goes on to jJU'Say-^ that education "must take jjjlJiS upon itself the ^development â- â-  Of ^^pleadersliip^rand. leadership calls.-;for Mtt character and intelligence as well |§|i!|-asiearmng. ; He emphasizes par? ^J| ticularly the' "tact j&at because of ^^"inadequate|ieducation.- America ^JlJloses-^rnanylwho.. have.'-it. in- them M^|tO'.;:be: leaders*!!||i^|^t|^i^:Â¥Si l§|ll||§| If arijr^ctioa blFtn» ^^|.fiel<||iseriously"." it â- â-  is, the .north __ _V'-. stud)|§|o§|g>ur igh,4%schools |;;;;: - and-f#-fflarnmar j^ehools and private institutions lllilwill certainly"'show that pur local 4he invaluable services he has rendered as principal of New Trier High School. To such leaders as he society owes a debt which it can only acknowledge, never pay! THE APRIL TICKET It's purple-Green would have been better. Purple suits Octo- ber. Black for December. In the swamp sings the pollywog. The rococo shrubs are budding in the offing. To-morrow, or next week, they will be blooming in the same place. Chirps the young sparrow in its nest on the old post. Father forgets to buy his April ticket andlears that he will be put off at Central street. But instead, he puts off the conductor with some old alibi about having changed his clothes and is allowed to ride on. How Father will get back home in the evening we cannot say. Over the, sky spreads a can- opy of sad gray, threatening showers. But that can't frighten the Commuter. He's a gay old geezer. HELP RAISE $754,000 The organization of the Wil- mette "Builder's" to pull the Na- tional Kindergarten College from the South Side to the North Shore is bound to result in great good. With such a man at the head of the Wilmette campaign as Dan Stiles of the State Bank, one can almost see the beautiful buildings rising on Sheridan road. â€" If ever a movement had behind it women and men of initiative and power it is the building of N. K. C. With the Evanston, Wil- mette, Winnetka, and Hubbard Woods "Builders" working to- gether, it will be very strange if the plan doesn't acquire such a push that a million dollars will be raised instead of $754,000. Thousands of children have been helped by this college. The college in a larger plant in a more suitable location will do a vast^ ly larger work. %..-*â-  Can you find a more productive investment ? TIME TO PLANT PANSIES" We saw this pleasing reminder in an ad. What a thrill it gave, us! We thought of the green irjs^fingers pusking up into the spring sunshine and warmth. We looked up and saw the leaf buds on the trees filagreed against the April sky. The grass was taking on a living green. Time, maybe, to rake the leaves from the bar- berry~hedgeanQ^burh~the~huge piles of the relics of yesteryear. We wondered if inHbhe wood&=oat by the Skokie, violets and hepaticas were being bprn. And when we read in the announcement "canter- bury bells, sweet williara, holly- hocks, delphinium, phlox, coreop- sis," our imagination was so in- flamed that we almost forgot to order two more tons of coal to last'.'through .-April,. t#!Pr^f i!-%- Announcing The Opening of The Renting Office of The ORRINGTON Evanston s Most Elegant Residential Motet For the convenience of prospective guests of The Orrington, a renting office has been opened in the Hampton Shops diagonally oppo- site the hotel.
