'September 22,1928 WINNETKA: TALK a ------------------------ ---------- Comes 5,000 Miles to Study Winnetka Method of Teaching Miss Dorothy McKee, of Hollywood, Cal, fifth grade teacher at the Hubbard Woods school, has come five thousand miles from Hawaii to study the Win- netka method of public school teaching. Miss McKee has taught in the Hawaiian schools for seven years. She went to Hawaii in 1919, came back later to teach in the Los Angeles city schools, and then returned to the islands. Miss McKee is in Winnetka as an exchange teacher, Mrs. Emma Goss, fifth grade teacher at the Horace Mann school last year having gone to Hawaii for two years. The exchange was ar- ranged by Carleton Washburne, super- intendent of the Winnetka Public schools, and Dr. Ross B. Wiley, of the Univer- sity of California, who was instrumental in the establishment of the government experimental school in Honolulu where Miss McKee taught the eighth grade last year. Sometime ago the territorial legisla- ture of the Hawaiian islands set aside a sum for a bureau of education in the islands, realizing that there were many problems to be solved in the educational field. The bureau subsequently took over a school in Honolulu which was turned into the government experimental school. Miss McKee plans to go back to this school next vear to aid in the solving of Hawaii's school problems.
