NO. 11 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, MARCH 31, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS ASK VOTERS TO APPROVE SCHOOL EXPANSION PLANS Board to Submit Building Pro- gram, Caring for Increased Enrollment, April 14 At a special meeting of the Board of Education held Thursday evening in the Skokie School the general plans for a comprehensive building program for the quadrennium just beginning were finally discussed and passed upon, and in response to petitions received, an election was called for Saturday, April 14, at which time the voters of the village will be given the oppor- tunity to authorize the Board of Ed- ucation to issue the necessary bonds for carrying out this program. Embraces Whole Village The program embraces all parts of the village. It calls for the comple- tion of the unfinished parts of the Greeley School. It calls for the building of a gymnasium at the Hub- bard Woods School, the only school in the village which does not now have any indoor play facilities, and for the ultimate addition of four more class rooms to the Hubbard Woods School. It calls for the addition of a new unit at the Skokie School, to pro- vide additional library facilities, a cafe- teria, shops, showers, locker rooms, and new classrooms, to take care of the rapidly increasing enrollment. Fin- ally it provides for the erection of a new school on the Northwest site al- ready owned by the Board of Educa- tion, west of Grove and south of Edge- wood Lane extended (formerly Prairie Avenue). While the program as a whole was adopted Thursday night, detailed plans for the buildings and additions have not been finally passed upon, although blue prints by Hamilton, Fellows and Wilkinson for the Hubbard Woods gymnasium and the Skokie addition are in the hands of the Board of Ed- ucation.

"This necessitates a more extensive build- ing program in this part of the vil- lage than in the southeast, where pop- ulation is increasing slowly and where there are actually extra rooms avail- able in the Greeley School." Expansion at the Horace Mann School is no longer possible on ac- count of the full use of the school property, the limited play space, and the construction of the present build- ing. Increased growth in the Horace Mann region will have to be taken care of by the Skokie School and by Hubbard Woods and Greeley it was explained. Vote on Five Proposals President Baliard explained that it was not the intention of the Board to build all these units at once, but that a comprehensive program for the en- tire quadrennium had to be consid- ered in connection with each building, even when the buildings were built or added to only one at a time, gradually as needed. "The approval of the vot- ers of the entire bond issue is neces- sary," he said, "in order to let the (Continued - on Page 5) Prof. C. W. Braden to Speak at Men's Class Hour Sunday Professor C. W. Braden of North- western university will be the speaker at the Men's class of the Winnetka Congregational church Sunday morn- ing, April 1, and for several successive Sundays. - The series of talks will deal with the great non-Christian religions of the world. What, if anything, have these religions to offer to Christian people of Christian communities, -is expected to form an important consideration. Professor; Braden's initial talk will be a general survey of the subject. Sub- sequent dates will be devoted to speci- fic religions. Those who have heard Professor Braden are aware that he not only speaks from a thorough know- ledge of his subject, but that he pre- fashion.

"We wish very much to have all of the citizens of Winnetka vote next Tuesday," said Mr. Ralph Snyder, chairman of the Village Caucus, "be- cause we believe that they owe it to the candidates who haveso willingly agreed to give of their time and energies to the service of the Village during the next two years. While there is no active contest of the ticket which the Vilage Caucus has nominated, there is a great moral benefit to the candidates and to the Village in having an active demonstration of interest by the citizens whom they will serve." 3 Here are the Candidates The candidates nominated by the Village Caucus and to be balloted upon election are as follows: Village Trustees--Carl FEasterberg, William B. Moulton, R. H. Schell. Village Clerk--Stella Winslow. Village Treasurer--William E. Davis. Village Marshal and Collector-- Theodore Flynn. 5 Police NAS (to fill unexpired term)--Byron A.
