o WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 KINDERGARTEN SCHOOL RESUMES IN CHICAG Will Be Evanston-Wilmette School in 1923 Entering upon its 37th year as a specialist in "the business of child- hood," the National Kindergarten and Elementary College on Michigan boulevard next Monday and Tuesday enrolled the largest student body in the history of the institution. All rooms in the six dormitories have al- ready been allotted, it was announced at the college today, with a forecast that registration this year will reach the 300 mark in students from 33 States and several foreign countries, among which India is the most Te- mote. While the college plans to remove to Evanston-Wilmette, where a site has been purchased on Sheridan road for the establishment of a "national college of childhood," the increase in students necessitated acquiring an additional dormitory for this year in 2934 Michigan boulevard. By the leasing of the Emmet A. Thomas resi- dence the college now has a row of six spacious houses from 2918 to 2954 Michigan boulevard, with a connected campus in the rear of these buildings. Illinois Leads Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michi- gan, Nebraska and Iowa lead in the number of applications for registra- tion. In order follow Kansas, Minne- sita, Ohio, Kentucky, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas. The aver- age age of the students--freshmen, juniors and seniors--is eighteen and one-half years. Monday and Tuesday business men and shoppers brushed past "sandwich girls" on duty at the gates in the principal railroad stations of the city. These girls, "big sisters" acquainted with the city and the loop "L" so con- fusing to newcomers, carried the blue and tan college catalogues aloft as beacons to incoming freshmen who notified the college authorities what clothes they would wear, but who, ac- cording to Miss Grace Hemingway, social director of the college, fre- quently exercise the feminine right to change their clothes as well as their minds and lead the "sandwich girls" to no end of complications in accosting strangers. "See" Chicago Following registration Monday and Tuesday, the first assembly of the year was held Wednesday afternoon, when students, faculty and repre- sentatives of the governing board met at the college. After a program of addresses, including further an- nouncement on plans for the new college at Evanston-Wilmette kinder- garten, games and folk dances were staged outdoors by alumnae, upper- classmen and new students. Excur- sions were planned for later in the week to introduce the new students to Chicago's parks and boulevards. Mrs. Cornelia Coleman Burleson will be in charge of social activities in the college dormitories this year. Mrs. Burleson was dean of St. Mar- garet's Hall at the University of In- diana, and has also been connected with the University of Iowa.

ROCKWELL (Horticultural Hditor, "Farm Fireside") The handling of a big perishable crop, such as Concord grapes, is one of the most interesting things in the whole field of agriculture.

Michigan hos long been fam- ous as one of the localities in which the Concord grapes attain their best, and grape growing here attains the proportions of a big state industry. Up to a few years ago, the crop was marketed by the individual growers. As is always the case with a situa- tion of this kind, there was little at- tempt at grading the product. It was poorly packed for market, and the bulk of the crop was sold only in a few nearby cities. The result of the situation was that P. J. O'SHEA, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW, . GLENVIEW ROAD, GROSS POINT.
