Build a New Village Hall. Enforce the Traffic Laws. Build the Truck Road THE RETREAT Happy those carly days, when I Shined in my angel infancy! Before I understood this place Appointed for my second race, Or taught my soul to fancy aught But a white celestial thought ; When yet I had not walked above A mile or two from my first love, And looking back, at that short space, Could see a glimpse of his bright face; When on some gilded cloud or flower My gazing soul would dwell an hour, And in those weaker glories spy Some shadows of eternity; Before I taught my tongue to wound My conscience with a sinful sound, Or had the black art to dispense, A several sin to every sense, But felt through all this fleshy dress Bright shoots of everlastingness. O, how I long to travel back, And tread again that ancient track, That I might once more reach that plain, Where first I left my glorious train: From whence the enlightened spirit sees That shady city of palm trees. But ah! my soul with too much stay Is drunk and staggers in the way! Some men a forward motion love, But I by backward steps would move; And when this dust falls to the urn, In that I came, return. TAX ADVICE! ; il Pay your tax bills to the town - collector, Sanborn Hale, at the 'innetka State Bank. This is not an advertisement. It's good advice. Paying to the town collector instead of the 'county collector will be of ad- vantage to you and to the various township organizations supported by taxation. Money paid to the town col- lector will be paid over to these organizations immediately after the audit in April. If paid to the county collector in Chicago, the money, because of the tremen- dus amount of work involved, will not be available for many months to come. If paid in Winnetka the two percent collection fee charged by the county collector will not be imposed. Payment to town collector also saves spread- ing of township tax. Residents of New Trier Town- ship will also find it more easy and convenient to pay to the town collector than to the county col- lector in the crowded offices in the county building. FEELING A human being is a combination of habits. He is an organization of habits of acting, thinking, and feeling. : Of all these habits the most im- portant are the habits of feeling. Acting is good, thinking is better, but feeling is best. A man who acts well and thinks well is a worthy specimen of humanity, but if he adds to these two abil- ities the ability to feel well no man can be better. We realize that these habits intermingle, that each group is necessary for the other, but what we desire to em- phasize is that habits of feeling are pre-eminent. This being the case, most atten- tion should be paid in and out of school to the cultivation of the feelings. Kvery man, woman, and child be so exercising his feelings as to bring about their greatest efficiency. In school, especially, the whole program should be so planned as to give the feelings amplest op- portunity for development. School studies may be divided--Ilike Gaul --into three groups on the basis of their effect on habits. One group 's primarily concerned with mus- cle development; a second, with mind development; and a third, with feeling development. In the first group are manual training and physical culture. In the second are mathematics. In the third are the fine arts, some- times called the "useless" arts; in reality the most useful. Every school should be so organized as to give precedence to the third group of studies--the fine arts. Our main reason for assigning the highest place in living to the feelings is that they provide the end and measure of the living at its best. The chief good in life is happiness, a feeling. The value of all other phases of living is measured by the amount of hap- piness they bring to the individ- ual. POOR BOY! What has become of William James Sidis, the boy genius, who some years ago amazed Harvard professors by his tremendous mental precocity and whom his father, Dr. Boris Sidis, praise as a model educational product? Has he fulfilled the promise of those wonder years? Has he now grown into intellectual ma- turity, produced a masterpiece of well developed scholarship? No, he has not. At the age of 26 he is a clerk and lives in a gar- ret room in New York city. He asks only to be left in peace at work that doesn't require too much thinking. A woman prominent in radical circles is quoted by the New York World as saying: "Sidis won't make friends with anyone. He has more knowledge and a better memory than any man I ever heard of. He can quote page after page from history, any history of any country. He knows all the streets in New York, their length and their breadth." Poor Sidis! An overstuffed memory! A brilliant intellect joined with stunted feelings. A monstrosity, not a man. Don't exploit your child's mem- ory and intellect at the expens of his feelings. EDUCATION OF WOMEN The passages below are taken from an essay published in 1697. To many a reader they will seem decidedly modern, rather than from the pen of the author of Robinson Crusoe, who wrote them over 225 years ago. "A woman well bred and well taught, furnished with the addi- tional accomplishments of knowl- edge and behavior, is a creature without comparison. Her soci- ety is the emblem of sublimer en- joyments, her person is angelic, and her conversation heavenly. She is all softness and sweetness, peace, love, wit, and delight. She is every way suitable to the sub- limest wish; and the man that has such a one to his portion, has nothing to do but rejoice in her, and be thankful. "--without partiality, a woman of sense and manners is the fin- est and most delicate part of God's creation, the glory of her Maker, and the great instance of his singular regard to man, his darling creature, to whom he gave the best gift either God could bestow or man receive. And 't is the sordidest piece of folly and ingratitude in the world, to withhold from the sex the due luster which the advantages of education give to the natural beauty of their minds." Every improvement in our north shore communities is a mat- ter of pride to every member of these communities. Every phys- ical improvement like the paving of streets, the installation of street lights, the erection of at- tractive municipal and office buildings, laying out of parks, in- crease of utility services--all these physical betterments are matters of pride to citizens. THIS AND THAT Until We Find a Title THE FLY'S ADVENTURE (A tragedy with a moral) "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, If synthetic don't get you, moonshine must!" A fly one day left a window warm, To test a floor's newly painted charm. The fragrance was strong and the paint was sweet, Though it gummed up his wings and his feet, But he ambled along with a zigzag sway, Absorbing a kick in this new found way. The end of his course need one disclose? Not half way across he turned up his toes! A fly has a brain like the head of a pin: Bur grown up mein drink bootleg gin! --BARDOFF. YES, DEAR READERS, THIS 1S STILL. A CONTRIBUTORS' COLUMN! AND LET THE SENATE JOIN IN ON THE CHORUS! Charlie Dawes' dog. "Hellanmaria" was finally found, rather the worse for wear, in a North Shore suburb, accord- ing to a recent news item. Now Mister Vice President may well revive that ancient camnaign song of Champ Clark's, "Yuh Gotta Quit Kickin My Dawg Around!" YES,"AND WE "ALSO HAVE NO SUITABLE NAME, AS YET. But Alas Most of Us Have Ears! Says thc New Trier News in re the forthcoming band concert: ox a This will also be a splendid apportunity to see the new sousaphone in operation." YOUTH (Inspired by reading the Acorns Anthology) Oh Spirit of Youth, Full of laughter and singing As of silver bells ringing, What shall serve us in sooth For the Spirit of Youth? Oh Spirit of Age, Full of care and of scheming With apt wisdom teeming, Naught shall serve you, Oh Age, To fill out your page, But the song of their singing As of silver bells ringing. --BARDOFF.

So far, "Hellanmaria" has provided the exception that proves the rule. ---T.R.
