-- Ara-- October 15, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 11 Violin Instruction Not Regular Course for Local Schools By Carleton Washburne (Superintendent, Winnetka Schools) The development of a school orches- tra at the Skokie school has been pro- ceeding favorably for the past three or four years. Until this year, however, we have had to begin all orchestra work at Skokie without previous foundation. For this reason, on the advice of Thomas Whitney Surette of Concord, Mass., who acts as our mu- sic adviser, we have introduced violin instruction in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades in the lower schools. Great interest is being shown by the parents and the children who have started lessons. We shall soon have an orchestra in each grade school. Miss Mary Nancy Graham, the in- structor, comes with an exceptional record of achievement in this line of work. She has been highly compli- mented by music critics for her suc- cess with children. She is a pu- il of- Max - lL. Fischel, of the Chicago Musical college, and has been wn auditor to Prof. Leopold Auer's teaching, and this past summer attend- ed the Surette school in Concord, Mass. " Miss Graham six years ago intro- duced violin in the city schools of Waterloo, Iowa. Last. year there were 300 children in the grade school orchestras, and the Senior High or- chestra won honors in the state. All members of the violin and viola sec- tions had been trained by her. A few Winnetka parents seem to be under the impression that only class instruction is given. This is a mis- take. Each child receives a private half hour lesson, and has the privilege of ensemble once each week. It is not too late to begin now. Any per- son who is interested should get in touch with Miss Graham, or inquire of the school principals. Young Men's Class Has Prospects for Fine Year The Young Men's class of the Win- | netka Congregational church began its | autumn session last week with the largest attendance it has ever had, and is planning a program of unusual in- terest. All young men above the high school age are welcome to these ses- sions Sunday mornings from 10 to 10:45 o'clock in the North Neighbor- hood room in Community House. 847 Center Street William L.

The car, which Mrs. Kurschner was driving, skidded and turned over. With her were her two children, Marilyn, fourteen months old and little Jack, aged 3, neither of whom were hurt. The car, when it turned over, landed across a ditch, into which the children fell, thus es- caping. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick W. Gookin, Miss Gookin, and Mrs. Horace Ken- nedy are returning to Winnetka today from Colorado, where they have been since June, at their summer home in Estes Park.
