P-T.. HOLDS FIRST MEETIE 7 SKOKIE Many Surprises Await the Mothers The first Parent-Teacher meeting at the Skokie school was held Thursday, November 9. Mothers in large num- bers accepted the invitation to visit the various class rooms and become acquainted with the new teachers and their work. After school the visitors convened in the Assembly hall, where Mrs. Charles: H. Coffin, the Skokie grade chairman, presides, introducing Mrs. 'Wallace W. Chickering, president of the Win- netka Parent-Teacher association, who described recent activities of the asociation and suggested some ways in which everyone could help to raise money to meet many pressing needs of the association, which is nearly al- ways penniless. Hear Skokie Principal Mrs. Coffin then presented the new principal of the Skokie school, Mr. Beatty, who discussed in a very frank and entertaining manner some of his problems, describing how, with the sincere desire on the part of most ol the children to help the faculty, the difficulties are gradually being smoothed out and a fine spirit of co- operation is steadily growing. He told plans of the children to help fur- nish the school with many necessary things, and stated that they had al- ready made saw-horse tables to be used in the gymnasium at lunch time, and are planning sales and dramatics to raise money for other things. And Those "Eats!" Upon adjourning to the gymnasium, where Mrs. Beatty was serving tea, the visitors found the domestic science girls in caps and aprons pre- pared to sell all sorts of good things. Miss Beals, who is the head of the de- partment, deserves great credit for this sale, the mothers agreed. It seemed incredible that in so few weeks the children could have made such an array of things, the daintiest bits of needlework and candies--truly dainty confections--cup cakes and large cakes, delicious meat loaves and dozens of jars of preserves, con- serves and spiced fruit, all labelled with the guarantee of the department in such a delightfully businesslike way. And the best of all--they tasted just as good as they looked.

The full report has been mailed to members of the congregation. Announcement has also been made of a special gift to the church, which the Church Council has acknowledg- ed as follows: Church Free of Debt "Mr. given the church $4,120 in order to enable the church to pay off the| mortgage on the west 100 feet of the church property, with the result that all of the church property is now un- encumbered, including the land pur- chased within the past two years, to provide for the proposed addition to Community House and any future ex- pansion of the church. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith loaned the money to the church to enable it to purchase the site of the present church edifice. They donated the and Mrs. Douglas Smith have | three lots upon which the present Community House building stands. They purchased the west 100 feet of the church property, referred to above, for $4,728, sold it to the church at cost and have, by their latest do- nation, paid all but a small fraction of the purchase price. "The generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Smith has been notable, not only in the amounts donated but in the wise appreciation of the increasing need for adequate plants for our Commu- nity Church and Community House in our rapidly growing Winnetka. Praise for Donors "The Council of the Winnetka Con- gregational church hereby records its | acceptance of the gift of $4,120 from Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and the sincere | gratitude of the church for their splendid generosity over the years, and for the far-seeing vision which has determined the objects to which their generosity has been directed." The receipt of this gift relieves the church from the necessity of asking for an increase in its Budget for 1923, even though the work of the church necessarily is expanding to meet greater needs. A business-like econ- omy in church management is assum- ed to be the best argument for con- tinued generosity of supporters.
