He had been ill only a few days and shortly | ., after his father arrived at his bed- side in the Cornell Some remarkably interesting work in 8th grade history is being done at the Horace Mann School by Mrs. Carrie S. Goodchild. Mrs. Good- child, who has been specializing in history work for several years, has ni Te developed a course of study which makes the life of the nation a part of the lives of her pupils. Various events of the past are linked with present current events in such a way as to shed light upon modern prob- lems. Her treatment of the Civil War is an excellent sample of what can be done in departmental work when one teacher specializes in one subject. The 8th grade classes at Horace Mann are about to begin a study of the Civil War. For this study Mrs. Goodchild has prepared the head- lines of a fictitious daily newspaper University in- firmary at Ithaca, N. Y., he died. Taylor was one of the most popu- lar men at Cornell. He was substi- tute tackle on the Cornell champion- ship eleven in 1916 and on his return lar berth with the griders at left tackle. Taylor has a most enviable war record. He went over seas before the United States declared war and drove the Winnetka ambulance at the front. Upon the declaration of war by the United States he returned to America and took training as an : aviator. Again he returned to the called "The Venture." These head- a : lines are true to fact and carry the |SSSP€ of hostilities and acquitted > himself well, being several times Civil War through all its phases.

They are trained by this means to use history in the solution of present day prob- lems. "This type of work contrasts strongly with the method commonly employed by upper grade teachers who teach all or several subjects," said Superintendent Washburne in commenting on Mrs. Goodchild's work. "Such teachers necessarily have to follow the text book, assign- ing a certain number of pages each day and requiring a recitation on the facts presented. This kind of work is dead and very little of it re- mains in the child's life after he leaves school. Such departmental work as Mrs. Goodchild is doing is, on the contrary, living and useful. Children who have formed the habit of studying history in order to solve the present problems of the nation will grow into citizens fit to play sons interested that the Board of Local Improvements of the said Village of Winnetka has heretofore filed in said Court in said cause, a certificate show- ing the cost of the work provided for in said cause, the amount reserved for interest, and showing also that the improvement has been constructed in substantial conformity to the require- ments of the original ordinance there- for. The hearing to consider and de- termine whether the facts as stated in said certificate are true, will be held in said court on Monday, the eighth day of March, A. D. 1920, at ten o'clock A. M., or as soon thereafter as the busi- ness of the Court will permit. All per- sons desiring may file objections in said cause by or before said time, and may appear on the hearing and make their defense. DATED Winnetka, Illinois, February 18, 1920.

Several parents have asked why the Board of Education does not plan three full eight-grade schools instead of three primary schools and one upper- grade school. The following summary of costs is one of the answers : It is assumed that the children of the Skokie and Greeley districts are to have as many of the advantages of departmental work as will be had by the children of the central district. This means that Domestic Science, Manual Training, Drawing, and Science rooms, and gymnasitims would have to be from the far parts of the village. This can be largely overcome by taking the children to school in busses. The relative cost of busses and of three build- ings instead of one is shown below: Original outlay: Buildings, per year Busses, per year The saving is obvious. A careful consideration of these facts will make evident one reason that the Board of Education has adopted the plan of three lower grade schools on the present sites and one departmental school for 7th and 8th grades on its West Elm Street site. year in maintenance.
