The subject involves discus- sions pro and con on the proposition to erect a new school building on the Skokie site, and will be of inter- est to every reader of the Talk who has the welfare of the Public schools at heart. The communication reads: "Editor, Winnetka Weekly Talk. Sir.: Have recently received the fol- lowing letter which raises questions of such general interest that I should like to answer it through your columns." "Dear -Mr. Bell: Your recent report on behalf of the Board of Education is not alto- gether satisfactory to me or, I be- lieve, to other parents of Winnetka. The'facts you offer as to the lack of schoo! facilities soon to be faced are startling and present a serious ques- tion, but-I doubt the advisability of your plan:for- building a hew school. "Why not add to the capacity of our three present schools? Building costs are at their peak now--double what they used to be--and surely it would be far cheaper to make ad- ditions than to construct an entirely new building. Taxes are high enough in these times when every family expense 1s. mounting 'by leaps and bounds. 4 : : "Ask the taxpayers whether they want to put up the money for a big new school project now, when Win- netka already has three schools. "I may be wrong, but I am writing this lctter because I think we ought to consider the facts carefully before you go ahead with such an expensive project at this time." or "rp h 'To accommodate our prospective class rooms' aré needed: vi 1920--1921 1921-1922 1922--1923 24 "A class room. will cost practically the same amount whether added to kie more such letters. the old "schools or to a new one. Difference in expense would there- fore lie in the building and mainten- | and assembly rooms. The question | then can we add twenty-four rooms to the present schools? "No addition to the Horace Mann| school is possible. Additions to the | other schools are limited by two things--capacity of heating plant, and space. Skokie school will take care of two more rooms; that at Greeley four-- no more. These we expect to build; but this leaves eighteen rooms to be provided, to take care of our needs for the next four years only. "To build on the present sites enough to take care of = eighteen rooms would mean two additional plants of nine rooms each--double their present capacity. And this means two heating plants, two _ventil- ating plants, two assembly halls, in- stead of the one plant we propose and the one big assembly hall ade- quate for our maximum needs. This speaks for itself. : : ] "Imagine two additional schools on the present sites.

The great Drive for 1919-1920 memberships in the American Red Cross is in full swing and Winnet- ka is again proving its loyalty and splendid spirit of helpfulness and in- terest in every cause that has to do with Patriotism and Humanity. The Village is resplendant with the attractive posters which appear in every prominent place, and the very lovely Red Cross Nurse, with the extended hands and pleading | eyes, and the group of "buddies" depicted thereon, are but reminders of the great and pleasant duty of every resident of the Village to give to the Red Cross--cheerfully and generously--as - their means will allow. While the drive is mainly for the purpose oi enrolling the name of every man, woman and child in Win- netka, in the Red Cross Membership, those who are abundantly blessed with means should and tust give as much beyond the One Dollar Sub- scription as they can to help accomp- lish the $30,000 quota which has been allotted to Winnetka. As every one knows the Red Cross is still carrying a tremendous load of responsibility in the reconstruc- tion work in all of the war stricken countries of Europe; it cannot now 5 withdraw its aid from those who have suffered so much of depriva- tion and hunger and horrors these many years and -who now must be supported and sustained until they have strength to again get a hold on life and be capable of "carrying on" for themselves. The campaign is to be the last ap- peal for war funds made by the Red Cross. _ While the greater part of the fund is to be used in the overseas work, many other noble activities which the Red Cross carries and which were outlined in a previous issue of the Winnetka Weekly Talk, will share in the receipts. : The Red Cross is the one great national organization for the relief of suffering and distress, and a par- ticipation and interest in its en- deavors would seem to be the first duty of every good AMERICAN. Surely no one will choose to fail to answer to the Roll Call. The women who so successfully carried on the work of the many drives incident to the war are show- ing a splendid spirit of co-operation and report a fine response to their appeals in their house to house campaign. Have YOU given your UTMOST? STEALS CHURCH "IRGCN" A prowling thief early this week entered the ante-chambers of Christ church, found little of value in the way of loot and eventually, in disgust, decided upon an electric iron,--the one utilized to iron out the wrinkles in 'the rector's surplice--and left without seriously disturbing other church property. There was a safe in the room where was deposited some of the church silver. It was left unmolested.

Binswanger Has Family Pet o. Capuchin Extraction He'd Iiike To Sell * | Have you room for a little pet monkey, white faced, ring tailed and of the Capuchin ancestry? wx You have? Then Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Binswanger, Wilmette residents, will be giad to confer with you in reference to the purchase of one of those' little household pets. The Binswanger family pet must be given up because the Binswangers are not living in their own home at present and cannot well afford to provide that constant attention and care which" is so essential to the tender existance of frail Capuchins. Hence, the household pet must go. In preference to outright sale the Binswangers would like to find a nice boarding place for the «Capuchin. Boarding and the attendant care of the little Capuchin involves all the attention and tender care accorded a child, it is said, so the prospective purchaser or animal boarding house keeper must needs be an expert in Capuchin culture. Binswanger, who has been in the United States Navy, brought thie Capuchin along from Venezuela, some months ago.
