Urges Special Classes An interesting paper was read by Miss Garretson, visiting nurse. She made a strong plea for facilities with Wick to carny on efficiently her work in the schools. She asked for a small room in the Horace Mann building as it was obviously difficult and impracticable to care for the children in the hallways and corri- dors. Miss Garretson also requested the fitting out of two additional grade rooms for backward children in need of individual instruction.

Winnetka is proud of her modest and efficient citizen and hopes he may enjoy a much need- ed rest on his many beautiful rolling acres in Virginia. He sure did "finish the job" in fine shape.
