FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1923 NO AUTHORITY Nobody is authority, no grades, no marks, no testsâ€"what would you think of such a school? That s the kind of a school the people of Hamburg, Germany decided to have. And in England the move- ment in education is towards more freedom and more recognition of individual differences. This is the situation Mr. Washburne of the Winnetka schools found on his re- cent European tour. Sounds a little like Anarchy. How are they going to keep children in school and studying without some external control? Wouldn't they run wild without some sort of re- traint? And no grades to take home to their parents at the end of the term! This, either the mill- enium or pandemonium But, hold on a minute. Maybe the children, if conditions were im- proved, would do school work as they now play. There are many adults, who prefer work to play, who enjoy their work, and subject themselves willingly to schedules and routines. Perhaps, under wise administration, children might study and learn in the same way. At any rate, if education is the brightest hope of Europe, this new educational idea must be the result er is given! "Stick to the facts , says his boss, "but express them in as fancy language as you please. Never use the same phrase twice or repeat a word when a substitute can be found. So the reporter see his game and then writes it up. What joy is his. He exnausts his entire thesaurus on the word, ball . sphere, spheroid, planet, leather, pill, bullet. "Bat" becomes stick, willow, wand, rod, scepter, club, whacker. , For developing a poet there s nothing like baseball reporting. en who are responsible for this sig # very serious, very intelligent j^ Su<pces%#ught Jfeo^Ja^gi^n, ?t |^fc* thinking.

While we are sweltering in the super-heated July atmosphere, others are thinking about the next winter's cold and making plans to meet it. Looking ahead! Man is the animal that looks ahead! The world would be freer from the bonds of evil and suffering if more men would look further ahead; if they would take a good, long look ahead. What a great place this world would be if peo- ple would stop longer and think harder before doing important things! Our children should" "be taught how to think. The heaping up of jn^rmaiien^should be secondary to learning how to think. Wherever feasible they should he given oc- casions to think out things for themselves and to stand the con- sequences of thinking. In the summer let us give some thought to the needs of winter. â- "^plj^T PMSBYTERIAN^ CHURCH It must be an occasion of happy expectation for the Wilmette First Presbyterian Churchâ€"this excavating, marking the begin- ning of the building of the much needed addition. Nothing is quite so hard on an active, for- ward-looking society as cramped quarters. Classes meeting in "alTsorts"^! CHURCH HOMES The seven churches in Wll- mette will continue through the summer to publish their an- nouncements. If you're a new- comer, you will be welcome at any of these church homes. If you're an oldtimer, you know al- ready how glad the various pas- tors and people are to have you visit them. There's much going on in these churches during July and Au- gust. You'll find much more ac- tivity than you expect. _Think of what church home* with all their cordiality have meant and do now mean to thous- ands and thousands of men, wo- men and children! What the churches have done for them they can do for you. BALANCE ON HAND It's rare and refreshing to find a benevolent organization that closes its year with a balance on hand. Most individuals consider themselves fortunate when their baijk rqpoVts show a substantial credit surplus. But when a charit- able organization that is alive and progressive shows on its treasurer's report a favorable margin of over $300, it should be congratulated. That's why we congratulate the New Trier Station of the Infant Welfare society. Moreover, this station has secured more than its quota of $4;000 and thereby has be- come a Class A station.

As "an author of some standard ^books" Ben might qualify, but we can't imagine Ben offering to "live in a suburb in ex- change for teaching." If our advertiser, known in our office as A-211, ever divulges his indentity we'll give a letter of in- troduction to our esteemed K. P.
