pa WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1923 Talks About Our Winnetka. Schools By CARLETON W. WASHBURNE, Superintendent, Winnetka Public Schools. EDUCATOR OPENS UNUSUAL CLASS (Continued from page 1) To Parents in Winnetka: Wouldn't. you like to understand your children's schools more fully? Would you like to know just what we are driving at--we whom you have intrusted with the education of your children through eight highly form- ative years? Would you like to know something of the reasons for what we are doing?--for although we are still quite frankly in the dark, every thing we are doing is the result of much thought in the dim light of what lit- tle educational science has discovered up to this time. In our humble way we are even helping a little to ad- vance educational science, and you may want to know something about that. Through the courtesy of the Weekly Talk, we are going to have a series of talks with you parents--about twenty of them--telling you about your chil- dren's schools. There will first be four articles giving a general survey of our aims and methods; then there will be a dozen or more articles on special phases of the Winnetka work, subject by subject--arithmetic, reading, spelling, language, history, art, music, shop work, etc. Finally there will be two or three articles showing how these subjects and all Winnetka School activities are related to our three main purposes: preparation for future activities; self expression; and ability to function as part of the social group. ; We hope will that every parent take fifteen minutes off each week to read these articles. If you have questions concerning any thing in any article--or any thing concerning the schools for that matter--write the question or 'phone it in to the office of the schools (Winnetka 850) and if possible we shall answer it at the close of "the next week's article. After all, they're your children. Carleton W. Washburne.

Underwriters In Survey Of Winnetka Properties The Chicago Board of Underwriters have started work on the Winnetka sur- vey in an effort to reduce the rate of insurance in this village, it is announced. The work of the Underwriters con- sists largely of the inspection of build- ings as to their fire-proof structure and the examination of the fire department in regard to the apparatus and efficiency of the fire-fighters. Thus far the results of the surveyors have been quite fav- orable and Chief Houren has expressed the belief that Winnetka will be relisted under a lower rating of insurance. We Regret to Announce This Error Is "On Us" In last week's issue of the Talk it was stated that the Village council passed an amending ordinance changing the zoning designation of a portion of Center street "from 'C' Commercial to 'A' Residence." This was incorrect as a designation exactly the reverse of that mentioned was made, that is, the designation of Center street property lying between North avenue and Chatfield road was from "A" Residence to "C" Commercial. The Talk regrets this error.

Once hav- ing stated their position they will not hesitate to come into the open regard- ing it on any occasion. Such argu- ments as we anticipate in this class help to clear up prejudices and to build up a code of living that must be most valuable in later life. x Suggests Topics . "My plan is to take some well known statement, or discussion of some point at immediate issue, to pre- sent it to the class, and then let the members decide where they stand re- garding it. We shall take as many mornings to a single discussion as shall be necessary to reach a satisfactory conclusion. One of Miss Maud Roy- den's lectures on Spiritual Laws, or Dean Briggs' Talk to Freshmen, or James' chapter on Habit, or the Ser- mon on the Mount will form a basis for many of these conversations. "lI expect to continue the class as long as there is interest in it. In order to be sure of keeping the group homegeneous (since its suc- cess depends upon the members hav- ing enough confidence in each other to be willing to expose their intimate views on matters close to their hearts to the view of the group as a whole) I shall have to reserve the right to select from those who signify their intention to join this group those young people who seem to me best able to fit into the class as a whole." Starts This Sunday The first session of this unique class will be held at Christ church Sunday morning, September 16 at 9:30 o'clock. Membership in the class is not con- fined to young people affiliated with the parish, but open to upper high school students of the community at large, it is announced.
