4 J" mn ---- WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1920 CHICAGO T0 BUILD A BIG "HEALTH CENTER" Chicago Policlinic and Hospital To Inaugurate $1,000,000 Campaign on November 8 An institution which in the last thirty-four years has ministered to more than a million patients among the city's poor and whose labora- tories and clinics have been of un- told value to the medical profession of Chicago and vicinity, and the world at large is the Chicago Poli- clinic and hospital, which on Novem- ber 8 will inaugurate a drive for $1,- 000,000 to enable its supporters to erect a modern hospital and "health center". The original buildings, longe since inadequate for the serv- ice of the rapidly growing city, were erected and supported by a group of leading physicians and surgeons who felt the need of such a clinic and such a hospital. The public has never before been asked to contribute to this praiseworthy effort but its im- portance in the community is vital and far-reaching. The "health center", with its po- pular lectures on sanitation, nutri- tion and other important health topics is unique in civic annals and it is the purpose of the policlinic to make it a model for other cities of the United States. Not only will the 'public be taught how to keep well, but a dispensary or "out patients" department, a diagnostic clinic, where leading specialists will exam- ine and recommend, laboratory tests and examinations, and "out obste- trical" section and follow-up on cases discharged from the hospital will be among the features. The clinics in the dispensary at Oak and Clark street will be most complete and prepared for the handling of all sorts of ambulatory cases. All branches of medicine will be rep- resented and these clinics will be open daily and available to all. The care and reconstruction of men injured in industries will be considered in the new policlinic. Many of these workmen are per- manently disabled because there has been heretofore no institution prop- erly equipped for handling their cas- es and as a result, they become a direct charge on the industry and on the community as well. Many can be made self-supporting and inde- pendent by proper treatment and re-education vocationally. In this there will be adaptation of post-war surgery which has rehabilitated so many wounded soldiers. In the group contemplated will be the out department, an educatioual department, a complete hospital, a training school and home for nurses and a social service department. The polyclinic is established on a broad, comprellensive, non-sectarian basis for philanthropic and educational purposes. There will be in the hos- pital, a large number of small priv- ate rooms for a very nominal fee. The clinical school permits praction- ers to keep in touch with the latest developments in medicine and surg- ery and its research and operative laboratories have afforded oppor- tunity for advancement to such men as Fenger, Parks, Henrotin, Senn, Favil, Hotz and many others. The extensive plans of the Poli- clinic and hospital require the success of the million dollar drive if they are to be carried out and no local appeal made to the people of Chicago in years 'lis more worthy than this splendid organization which has done so much for Chicago's poor. The movement, backed by such men as Dr. Channing W. Barrett, Dr. John A. Graham, Dr. Norman Kerr, Dr. A. Belcham Keyes, Dr. Eugene Cary, Dr. S. R. Hurlburt, Dr. Alexander Stevenson, Dr. Charles M. Francis, Dr. Otto T. Freer, Dr. Samuel J. Walker, Dr. James C. Gill, Dr. Or- ville W. McMichael, Dr. George de Tarnowsky and Dr. C. V. Bachelle, 1s directed by Mrs. Mary F. Kern with headquarters in the La Salle ho- tel. Teams composed of physicians, nurses and society women are Or- ganized on a "regimental" basis.

WINNETKA, ILL. l SCHOOL PROBLEMS By Supt. Washburne Note--This column will be conduct- ed weekly by the Superintendent of Schools. Questions may be sent di- rectly to him or to the editor of the Talk. They need not be signed. Q.--My little boy is in the Greeley district but it is much more con- venient to send him to Horace Mann, as his big brother goes there to the eighth grade. How can I have him transferred? A--You can't. Every request to transfer a child from one school to another has been and will be re- fused. The boundaries of the school districts will be revised two weeks after school begins. The boundaries of each grade will be so moved as to equalize the number of pupils in that grade in all three schools. This shift will be purely geographical and no respector of persons. There will be no exceptions. Q.--Can a child who will be five in January enter kindergarten? A.--Under certain conditions. If there is room in the kindergarten, the parent may apply for an in- telligence test for the child. If the test shows the pupil's mental age to be over five years he may be ad- mitted to the kindergarten. Q--My little girl will be six in March. She has been to the Mon- tessori school and to kindergarten. Can I enter her in first grade? A.--Under the same conditions as apply to entering kindergarten chjld- ren below age. There must be room in the grade, and she must pass a six- year intelligence test. Q.--Have parents any choice as to whether their children attend the morning or afternoon session of the first and second grades at Horace Mann? A.--Yes, until one or the other ses- sion is filled. Parents' desires in this matter will be considered in the order of their application. Q.--When should children be en- rolled? A.--Monday morning, September 13, between 8:30 and 9 o'clock, in their respective class rooms.

A pair of homer pigeons will be released from the local pharmacy to contest in the race to be engaged in by 5000 pigeons in pairs from 2,500 cities and towns within a radius of 500 miles of St. Louis. The pigeons released in Winnetka will bear a message of greeting from local officials to Governor Gardner of Missouri who will witness the "trap- ping in" of the pigeons at St. Louis. ~ In the big Rexall pigeon loft, the largest in the world, built for the event, are installed the big army of pigeons that will make this spectacl- lar race.
