4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1922. alls CHICAGO DAILY CIRBLES PLAN FACTS New Trier High School Super- intendent Declares He Was Grossly Misquoted HITS SENSATIONALISM Words Quoting Him on Mor- als, False, He Says Garbling of plain statements of fact, for the evident purpose of producing a sensational story, is charged against the Chicago Herald-Examiner and the Chicago Evening American by Prin- cipal Eston V. Tubbs of New Trier Township High school in the accom- panying "correction" of an interview given by him to newspaper correspon- dent on January 27, concerning the change made in the semester examina- tions at the secondary school. "No statement whatever, was made that we had felt it necessary to make these changes in order to eliminate hysteria in the classsrooms," Mr. Tubbs declares. "No statement was made to the effect that 'Jazz music had resulted in the nervouse breakdown of New Trier students.' The state- ment was made that we have at New Trier a group of splendid boys and girls but nothing was said to the ef- fect they were 'taking the road where it is easiest to slip." " Issues Correction "On January 27 I was called on the phone by a representative of the Chi- cago Herald-Examiner," reads Mr. Tubb's correction. "Several questions were asked regarding the changes that we had made in our semester's ex- aminations. I stated to him that the changes were made more on account of our lack of accommodations for con- ducting our examinations than any- thing else. For years past our semes- ter examinations have counted only one-fifth toward the semester's grade. The plan for conducting the examina- tions this year is only slightly differ- ent from that followed in previous years. This information was given in the expectation that some semblance é of truth would be observed in any statement that might appear in the paper. Such statements of plain truths had been garbled and made sensational before they could be print- 'ed in the Herald-Examiner and the American, No statement whatever, was made that we felt it necessary {to make " , changes in order to eliminate * hysteria in the class rooms. No state- ment was made to the effect that 'Jazz music had resulted in the ner- vous breakdown of New Trier stu- dents." The statement was made that we have at New Trier a group of splendid boys and girls, but nothing was said to the effect that they were 'Taking the road where it is easiest to slip.' " "We are in accord with the position that was taken by Superintendent Mortenson and the principals of the Chicago high schools regarding 'jazz' music and late hours of high school students. No reference was made to matters appearing in the article. "Ninety-eight per cent of our stu- dents are fundamentally honest and upright in every sense of the term. It is only a few who give us the least concern so far as their moral well-be- ing is involved." The correction is signed: Superintendent Eston V. Tubbs. For a Church Supper. When taking out food in dishes or tins to church dinners and suppers or to your neighbors, try writing your name on a piece of adhesive plaster and stick it omto the dish or tin, and you will find that you will have no more trouble in losing your dishes, as it will not be washed off easily. The Principal Beneficiary New Trier township H'gh Schoo! shown above, would secure the great- er part of the money placed in the hands of the various taxing agencies in New Trier Township through fore- closure of forfeited lots as planned by the North Shore Real Estate board. The board is soon to institute suit to bring about a clearing up of titles on forfeited properties in the township. The sum due New Trier High school has been estimated at approximately $33,000. With Winnetka Scouts Troop No. 2 The meeting of January 23 held a special treat for the boys of Trocp Nc. 2, Winnetka Boy Scouts. Mr Horace K. Tenney related to the boys some of his experiences on his annual hunting trip. Last sammer the "Call of the Wild" was stronger than usual and led him into the (ireat Northwest, up in the Canadian Rockies where, after leaving the mining camps at which they secured a guide, cook and pack ponies, he and his companions encountered no other human beings. Their first camp was made after traveling sixteen days up into the mountains to the edge of the timber line. Six different camps were pitched during the sum- mer and more than 1,000 miles of country traversed on horseback and afoot. A big black bear, shot by Mr. Tenney, was the prize of the trip. Several large Caribou and a number of smaller game comprised the season's catch. Mr. Tenney sup- plemented his story with interesting photographs. Next week's meeting holds an- other treat in store for the boys. Mr. Joseph Husband, who, a short time ago, entertained the boys with stories of his experiences on the high seas, has invited the troop to come to his home on Blackthorn road to view his collection of battle- flags and sea trophies. Models of different types of sea-faring craft are among the things that will be of spe- cial interest to the boys. NOTICE TO LEADERS Call up each member of your pa- trol to insure a full attendance.

P. Gazzolo's popular Victoria theater stock company will present for one week only the Cape Cod com- edy "Shavings," by Pauline Phelps and Marion Short, adapted from Joseph C. Lincoln's celebrated novel of the same name. Like "Lightnin'," the "Shavings" of the title is the nickname given the character in the play who potters through life in his own dilly-dallying way, a warm-hearted fellow whom the town comes to regard as a "crank" while letting his own happiness take care of itself. It is the tale of a young widow who comes to the little Cape Cod village and of the brother who had made a misstep and learned his lesson through a prison sentence. It is "Shavings" between moments of whit- tling in his shop who sees to it that the widow is housed and that the brother is given employment in the town bank. And it is "Shavings" again when the tongues of the town gossips begin to wag, who takes the blame for the shortage momentarily, upon himself. It is "Shavings" who straightens out the affairs of the young lovers, and "above all, it is "Shavings" who silently and bravely accepts his fate when the young widow selects another. Regular matinee days are Sunday, Thursday and Saturday, when. you can secure any seat in the theater for thirty cents, including the tax. In find a full page advertisement of the Victoria theater that illustrate "Shav- ings" and also contains interesting Fresh Dressed Roasting and Boiling Chickens ~--to your own in- dividual order.
