Shows Remarkable Progress Since ‘27 YOLUME XXVII At the regular September meetâ€" ing ‘ of the Deerfield Grammar School Board Monday evening, Mr. C. W. Boyle, president of the board, presented the following report on the management of the school durâ€" ing the last ten years,. _ ‘The following resume of the proâ€" gress of the Deerfield Grammar school during the last ten years is submitted as a matter of record. At the end of the school yearâ€" June 30, 1937â€"our district showed a deficit of $3,589.14, with outâ€" standing anticipation . warrants amounting to $21,140.00, making a total indebtedness of $24,729.14. In justice ‘to the directors who served previous to 1927, it should be pointed out that their difficulties were caused by rapid increase in school population, low assessed valâ€" uations and the expense of providâ€" ing for children from the Dorcas Home for which the state paid no tuition until recently. A further handicap has been the delay in payâ€" ment of our share of the state disâ€" tributive fund. District finances, bookkeeping and auditing are handled by the township treasurer. But for the purpose of control and guidance of the board, our principal has set up a system of books which enables the directors to ascertain the status of the finances at any time, withâ€" out waiting for the periodical reâ€" port of the township treasurer. high point of $19,007.00 in 1932, the amount in 1983 dropped to $12,500; in 1934 to $8,125; and to zero in 1935, 1986, and 1937. The total inâ€" debtedness in June 1932 was $20,â€" 718.04, including $1,711.04 overâ€" draft. This year on June 30 the The simplest index of the finanâ€" cial condition of the district is the amount of ° anticipation warrants outstanding at the end of ‘each school year. \ of $3,056.29 in educational fund and $3,117.11 in building fund. â€" Starting with the beginning of the depression, these were as folâ€" lows: district had no outstanding anticiâ€" pation warrants and had a balance This improvement has been efâ€" fected while levying only the lower rate of $2, although the law proâ€" vides for a maximum levy of $2.30. In 1982, due to great reduction in tax collections, it was necessary to dispense with some of the teach: ers, which created greatly overâ€" crowded classes. This condition is being relieved grldusllx by adding teachers as improved finances perâ€" mit. In 1934, lowered receipts and m change in‘ the law governing the tax rate for the building fund made it impossible to meet the payments on our outstanding bonds. The board made arrangements for reâ€" funding at a more favorable rate, and our bonds now are being paid as they fall due. In other words, the credit of the district is good. . _ Scholastic improvement may be gauged by the standing of our stuâ€" dents in the high school graduating classes. The following table shows the percentage of nsnrleld stuâ€" dents in the high school graduating classes from 1928 and the percentâ€" ages in the upper quarter. % Deerfield students % in upper in graduating class quarter JOSL ...........cs«o M d ccctudentiens AWe FDDE 212. 0s rncpreceiye BE crvcericronice en ie TDE 1112 ercccsigens Ne AHrvicervecierssecs TDE ... cacfsiccinecis BB cirercccermceicene T PHBG : .:sssiswâ€"â€"so oo P scstrcncerc iesB From these statistics, taken from the high school records, it is evident that before 1981 the Deerfeld (Continued on page 5) 1930 1981 1932 had trified with the safé.

According to Larson‘s tufim he was .driving north on S road about 20 feet past the intersecâ€" tion of County Line road when # pedestrian loomed ahead on the pavement. _ The driver swerved sharply to the left but was unable to avoid hitting the walker. Howard Larson, 1939 Waveland ave., Chicago, driver of the car was exonorated of all blame at an inâ€" quest held Sunday morning, when Coroner Taylor returned a verdict of accidental death. t Vandervin, who was 59 years old resided at 2015 Hiawatha trail.

An increased enrollment was noted in the majority of the schools, alâ€" though a definite count was not obâ€" tainable. Many @students are still away on vacations, and it is thought that by the beginning of next week all tallies will have increased conâ€" siderable. \ Three hundred and twentyâ€"seven high school Tuesday, bringing the approximate total enrollment to 1200 on Wednesday, Last year 1,175 were registered at the local instiâ€" tution. Oak Terrace school reported their attendance as about 450, expecting it to reach 500 by next week, as many of the kindergarten children have not been registered. This is about the same as last year. Eim Place and Green Bay schools, the two schools in District 107, reâ€" ported 774 students listed with about 80 more expected within the next few days. Attendance in the kindergarten showed a marked deâ€" cline. In District 108, three®hundred and sixty pupils were recorded, in Linâ€" coln school, which is not as large as. the enrollment last year. Raâ€" vinia school registered 409, while the Braeside schoo} listed 160. Because of the fear of the spread of infantile paralysis to Highland Park, many parents did not send their littlé ones to kindergarten at the opening of school. All schools showed a decided decrease in this department, but it is thought that the number will increase in a short time. . â€" % Mrs. Eva Cobb Wins Advertising Contest "Dâ€"X â€"Double ©Challenge" . advertisâ€" ing essay contest just concluded, it was announted today by M.
