At the meeting of the Woman's club on Thursday of last week Miss Catherine Beebe spoke on "Vocational Occupations." Miss Layman, pianist, gave a musical program. Miss Beebe said that she considered parents, with the exception of those living in Winnetka, decidedly lacking in the necessary qualifications for the right training of children. She quoted the remark of a college presi- dent by saying the students in the numerous colleges took courses study but had very little education. fhe iove of home should be fos tered in children when they are very young, continued Miss Beebe. The summer months make the best pos- sible time for this work and the play should be about the home the greater part of the day. Children should be capable of inventing their own games and the attributes of originality and of consiruction are fostered in this man-. ner. The play should be free and not constricted, for in that way rest- lessness is worked off without a ram- bling spirit being encouraged, as is often done by roller skates and bi- cycles. Maids are stupid companions, as a rule, and any impulse towards play and the expression of original ideas is apt to be checked by them in an unsympathetic, ignorant spirit. Miss Beebe laid emphasis on the desire to help in any task, so often seen in a child, and said that this desire should be encouraged to the point of inconvenience for the older person. She mentioned the making of fireless cookers by busy children and the raising of sweet clover as fodder to be used in place of alfalfa. The Bowen farm near Waukegan was spoken of as being an excellent place for the training of girls who thought they wished to take up settlement work. A wish to help should never be discouraged, for through that de- sire the boy or girl becomes a useful citizen. When crushed it results in inertia and a mental as well as phys- ical laziness. Out of doors is the best of all places for children, concluded Miss Beebe. They should have as many occupations as possible out of doors. Trips should be taken by the parents and children to interesting and pic- turesque spots where a picnic lunch could be spread. The books of Lucy Perkins were "recommended as helps to parents in the understanding and training of the THREE PETITIONS FILED.

Fechheimer as presi- dent, with Edward Yeomans and Ger- trude C. Lieber as trustees. 4 How They Voted in Tuesday's Election Precinct 1. Precinct 2. Precinct 3. Totals. Plu. For President. Men.

The returns were watched with intense interest, for al- though all of the candidates were con- fident of election both parties admitted that the resylt would be close. The eleventh hour letter sent to the voters Monday morning by the Win- netka ticket caused a lot of excite- ment in the ranks of the Citizens' Vil- lage party; as there was not sufficient time in which to answer the questions put forth. However, Fred H. Deily, who was candidate for treasurer, suc- ceeded in getting out a reply to the questions about his not filing his annual report, and in response the voters gave him 1,014 votes, making him high man on the ticket. George Rudolph put up a fine fight for third trustee, and he only lost out to John Warmington by 10 votes. It was not until the final votes had been counted in Precinct 3 that Warming- ton's election was assured. The three-cornered fight for the office of marshal and collector re- sulted in a big majority for Theodore Flynn, whose plurality over his near- est opponent, Albert Kloepfer, was 407. Johnson ran a poor third, getting only 269 votes out of the total of 1,735 cast. 2 In precinct 3 the total vote of 899 exceeded the votes cast in the other two precincts combined, consequently the final returns were not in until long after midnight. TWO TICKETS ARE UP FOR NEW TRIER. Tomorrow an election is held for two members on the Board of New Trier High School. There is a double ticket with Messrs. Bellows and Gil- son, now on the Board, against Messrs. Snow and Hurlburt. Nothing exciting has been brought to the fore by either party. Mr. Bel- lows and Mr. Gilson have given the greatest satisfaction during their period of service and the nominees for the other side are well known citi- zens of established reputation. There has been something said to intimate that Mr. Bellows and Mr. Gilson should have gotten up a petition be- fore 'consenting to run for another term, but when the matter was inves- tigated by Mr. William D. McKenzie at Springfield it was found that such a petition was not necessary for nom- inees to a township school board. Both of the present members of the Board are hard workers who have ac- complished much for the good of the school during their term. There has been criticism of the existing manage- ment, but it has been of such a quiet nature, an opposition ticket is the cause of much surprised questioning from parents and friends of the school. Mr. Bellows is president of the Board of Trustees. The polling place will be the same as last year, at Bartz's express office in the Prouty Annex, and the polls will be open from 12 to 6. NEW SCHOOLHOUSE WINS BY BIG VOTE. At the election for a bond issue of $27,000 and the building of a new school house held Saturday, the re- sult was a casting of 237 votes, 234 in favor of the proposition and 3 against. The election was particu- larly interesting as the question of the crowded condition of the Horace Mann school house has been brought to notice many times and a movement to enlarge the premises was started. Saturday seemed to settle the mat- ter and the school at Hubbard Woods will receive first attention. DOGS MUST BE MUZZLED. From: now on the chief of police will see that all unmuzzled dogs or dogs inadequately muzzled are placed in the pound and the owners fined. LAST MEETING IN COUNCIL CHAMBER Old Board.of Trustees Has New Member in Warmington--W. H. Davis Goes. MEMBERS RE-ELECTED. The meeting of the Board of Trus- tees at the Village Hall, Tuesday evening, was punctuated with tele- phone calls for the number of votes cast by the election parties. At about ten o'clock, after a pile of vouchers had been signed in the committee room by the regular president, Sher- man M. Goble, who had returned from the joys of California in time to vote, the Trustees filed into the council room ready for coming business. The cashier's report was read and accepted and then the Fire Marshal reported 31 calls for the year for both companies with a total loss in build- ings and contents of $12,675. The Superintendent of Public Works gave a list of 11 streé with the gutters cleaned in March, mud roads graded, 24 openings i brick streets, made building oC and water pipes, clos permits issued and garDage collected to the amount of $272.63. The police report showed for the past month an arrest for selling cigarettes to minors, 3 for drunk and disorderly conduct, 6 for speeding, 56 miscellaneous cases settled in a satisfactory manner and a burglary which is still being inves- tigated. Trustee Ostrom submitted a plot of Girton terrace, being part of block 4, John C. Garland addition. Trustee Wolf moved an acceptance and Trus- tee Davis seconded. Trustee Wolf recommended that the matter of the stub end streets be put in the hands of the village mana- ger for improvement, and the motion was seconded by Trustee Davis. The matter of the improvement of, ;Qak street, from Sheridan road to the lake, was also placed in the hands of the manager by motion of Trustee Davis, seconded by Trustee Wolf. A motion was passed by the Board in June, 1913, to use tarvia on the streets in summer instead of oil, but it has been found so unsatisfactory, a motion to rescind the original motion in favor of oil was made by Trustee Davis and seconded by Trustee Wolf. A resolution was presented by Trus- tee Davis that the annual wage to the Village Clerk be fixed at $300 at the expiration of the present term. An agreement was read between Benjamin Allen and Lena M. Gilmore with the village for the improvement of Cherry street from Sheridan road to Lake Michigan, and one between Charles Strultz and Aaron Younker with the village for the improvement of Willow street. Both were filed. The matter of the injunction against the H. J. McNichols company for in- jury to the branches of the trees on Sheridan road at the foot of Ash street was placed in the hands of the man- ager for settlement. Trustee Ostrom offered a resolution that the Village Clerk secure from the Secretary of the State of Illinois a
