Will get from studying the best schools 2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1922 WASHBURNE TO STUDY abtlLs OF EUROPE Superintendent of Schools Secures Leave of Absence for Investigations STAFF OF ASSISTANTS Skokie School Principal to Take Charge Here The Winnetka Board of Education has granted Superintendent Wash- burne a four months' leave of absence to make a special investigation of foreign experimental schools from November 1 to March 1. During Mr. Washburne"s absence Mr. Willard Beatty, who was associated with Mr. Washburne for several years in San Francisco and who is now principal of the new Skokie School, will be acting superintendent. Mr. Wash- burne explained his plans to The Winnetka Talk as follows: Threefold Purpose "The purposes of my trip are three- fold. In the first place, it will be directly to the advantage of the Win- netka schools. In the second place, I will be able to secure information for the United States Bureau of Edu- cation and Department of Public In- struction of the State of Illinois which they are desirous to receive and pub- lish. And in the third place, it is the fulfillment of a need which I myself have long felt. While many of the public school systems in Europe are American, there have been since the war a number of remarkably interest- ing experiments. These experiments attack educational problems from a different angle and will probably throw much light upon our own progressive education in this country. Educators from various foreign countries visit- ing the Winnetka schools, while tor the most part very modest as to their own work, have dropped hints of ex- periments in their countries which would throw light upon problems which confront us. "One of the most direct benefits to the Winnetka schools will be the per- spective on our own system which I uropean countries. I shall also be able to bring back pictures of Euro- pean customs, examples of native costumes and many other aids to the geography work in the Winnetka | schools. I have entered into an agree- ment with the Board of Education to | remain in Winnetka at least two years in order that the schools of Winnetka may get the full benefit of my Euro- pean experience, | "The work in Winnetka will not | suffer from my absence. It will have | been underway for nearly two months before I leave and I shall be back a month after the beginning of the second semester. Mr. Beatty, who is to take my place during my absence, is a man of nine or ten years' practi- cal experience in administering ele- mentary schools, a man thoroughly trained, and one with whom I have worked for a number of years in the past. I have the utmost confidence in his ability to keep the schools in good running order during my absence. "TI shall be accompanied on the trip by Mrs. Washburne and assisted by Miss Florence Brett and Miss Mabel Vogel. Miss Vogel, who has been teaching in Winnetka during the last two years, resigned last spring to take up advanced educational studies. Miss Brett, who has been teaching in Winnetka for seven years, is taking a four months' leave of absence to make this trip. Her work will be carried on by Miss Louise Mohr, an experienced Winnetka teacher, while she is in Europe. "We shall visit and make a study of the one or two best examples of pro- gressive schools in each of 10 or 12 European countries, including En- gland, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Szecho-Slovakia, and if possible, Russia. "I wish to express my deep appre- ciation of the generosity and breadth of vision of the Winnetka Board of Education in granting me this four months' leave of absence."

Peterson's whirlwind campaign against speed demons has had the result of materially abating the speeding evil in Winnetka, records at local police headquarters prove. During the month of August "Pete" and his stalwart motorcyclists arrested 110 speeders within the confines of the village. Of that number 90 re- ceived fines, 8 cases are still pending, and two violators were assessed the court costs, fines being omitted. September's record of speeders will fall far below that of August, accord: ing to the chief. "It's pretty hard to find speeders now," he says. "But we do not intend to 'lay up' the machines and call it a day. On the policy that 'prevention is better than cure,' we intend to make the way of the speeder as diffi- cult as our regulations will permit." Those who were arrested within the past week included: R. C. Mower, Chicago, $25 and costs; Ralph Sander- son, Chicago, the costs; William Mor gan, Evanston, $20 and costs; C. A. Blank, Chicago, $5 and costs; Arthur Leonard, Glencoe, $10 and costs; Tom Conley, Winnetka, $10 and costs; Lawrence McDPermott, Wilmette, $15 and costs.
