4 Sv WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1923 PUBLIC SCHOOLS "LOSE MR. KINNEY Shop Work Director Leaves to Accept New Position Charles A. Kinney, who for the past three years has been director of shop work in the Winnetka public schools, has accepted a position in the Francis Parker school, Chicago, for the coming year. In commenting on Mr. Kinney's de- parture, Superintendent Washburne said, "We all feel very keenly the loss of Mr. Kinney. He has transformed the old course in manual training into a workshop for children. His exhibit this year was characteristic of the change that he has wrought. Before Mr. Kin- ney came, the shop work consisted al- most entirely of pieces of furniture. Now, in addition to furniture, there are model yachts, practical row boats, a model stage, and many other things made by the children because they wanted to make them, not because they had to. " "Under Mr. Kinney's direction the shops have been open until five or six o'clock almost every school day, and al- most every Saturday morning. Some shop work has been introduced into the lower grades of the other schools and numerous clubs have been organized. The best known of these clubs is the Yacht club which held its annual launch- ing Thursday. "Mr. Kinney has also maintained a camp to which Winnetka boys go each summer. All that he does is marked by a real understanding of children and a rare combination of idealism and prac- tical ability." Kenilworth Happenings Mr. and Mrs. Frederick A.
