Local Schools Ask Increased Income (Continued from First Page.) higher amounts than we do after all these increases. We may perhaps anticipate that further increases in the salary sched- ule will not be immediately necessary. Nevertheless, the 9% annual increase in pupils will mean an addition of four or five teachers to the staff of the schools each year. It is because we believe that the citizens of Win- netka will not be willing to permit their teaching staff to fall below the level of the neighboring communi- ties, or, in fact, below the level of public schools anywhere, that we have concluded that they will want the tax income increased. Small Classes Cost Money .A standard of thirty pupils to each teacher means a room for every thirty children. This means fuel, light, jan- itor service, repairs, etc.: About 20% of our annual budget goes for these purposes. This expense, like salaries, arises roughly in accordance with our number of pupils. Of course it is not a steady increase, because it arises as we supply additional build- ings and rooms. But such increases in room space may be looked for con- tinuously in the future. Of course, if we are willing to pack our rooms and run up to 45 pupils as in the Chicago schools, or to 60 as there are in many cities, we can economize on operating expense. But we do not believe that the citizens of Win- netka wish to recede from this stan- dard any more than from the stan- his home in Evanston. Actual Increase Small What does the increase mean? The present tax rate in Winnetka is $10.07 upon a very low assessed valuation. Of this amount grade schools receive only $2.75. The Legislature has au- thorized an increase of the grade school rate to $4 upon a referendum and we now ask authority for such increase. The authority will not, however, be exercised at present to the extent of more than $3.50--i. e., an increase of 75 cents, or, roughly, 7% % on the total tax rate. In other words, the tax payer who is now paying $1000 would, under fhe in- creased levy, pay only $7.50 more. Glencoe has increased its rate by a vote of 5 to 1, and one of the dis- tricts in Highland Park by a vote of 7 to 1. I do not believe it too much to say that for most people in Win- netka the schools are the most im- portant single function of its govern- ment, and while the Board of Edu- cation regrets that under present con- ditions it is necessary to ask an in- crease, it is confident that such in- crease will be willingly voted. Christian Callings Subject at Sunday Morning Services Tomorrow morning at the Winnetka Congregational church Rev. James Austin Richards, pastor, expects to preach upon "The (Call of the Proph- et." This is the subject he announced two weeks ago in connection the very wide-spread effort of these days to bring the Christian callings to the in- telligent attention of those who are choosing a life work for themselves or assisting others to make a choice. The sermon will be of interest to all young people and to all who are in- terested in young people. LOSES KIN BY DEATH George Bowen Meleney, uncle of Robert C. Meleney, 1097 Oak street, died suddenly, Sunday, March 5, at Mr. Meleney was a resident of Chicago and the north shore since 1892. He was prom- inent in Library work and was a member of the Union League club and the Masonic order. Burial was in the east. FIRE CHIEF ILL. G. M. Houren, Winnetka Fire Chief, has been confined to his home at 410 Linden street, suffering a severe at- tack of influenza. Mrg. Wills of 938 Cherry street, is Playfield Plans Big Year At Annual Session (Continued from First Page.) tion of the course in the coming year. During 1921 the board issued tags representing 284 family member- ships, 69 adult male, 20 women, 9 junior (19 to 21 years) and 50 minors' (18 years and under) memberships. One thousand, two hundred and eigh- ty-four non-resident players and 220 guests registered at the first tea and paid the required fees. New Fee Schedule. With a view of limiting somewhat the invasion of the course by non- residents and acting on recommenda- tions of the Playfield association, to this end, for an increase in the fees charged non-resident players and also those for residents (to offset the probable decrease in revenue from non-residents, Mr. Rumsey announced the following schedule of fees which the Park Board will put into effect for the coming season: Family Memberships. .... ale 312.00; BOUL MON = ou... i gmt iin 12.00 WOON... dha arr 7.00 JUDIOTS, vith tenia as 5.00 Minons.o. oa eR 3.00 Non-residents: Saturdays, Sundays and holi- AaYS hn saa TR ser iui 3.00 Week days.....

Secure Competent Starter. The Park Board expects to have a competent starter at the first tee throughout the season and will install a system of registration which, it is hoped, will operate to the benefit par- ticularly of resident players and eliminate abuses and evasions of es- tablished rules and regulations. Mr. Rumsey announced that an ad- ditional tractor and mower have been ordered and that the board expects to make every effort, within the limits of its available revenue, to improve the course and keep it in first-class shape.
