WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1923 Hadley Correspondence School for Blind in Annual Statement Editor's note: The accompanying report by the officers and of the Hadley Correspondence School for the Blind, established and tained largely through the aid of Winnetkans, should be of interest to every reader of the Talk. Mr. William A. Hadley, who con- ceived the idea of aiding his unfor- tunate fellowmen in securing an edu- cation despite their afflictions, is a well known resident in the village. The character of his splendid work is set forth in the following statement. ANNUAL REPORT To the Supporters of the Hadley Cor- respondence School for the Blind: The Annual Report of your school, including a statement of courses pro- vided, students enrolled and disburse- ments made during the year, is here- with presented. It has been the aim of your Board of Trustees to develop the school grad- ually without wishing to increase the enrollment beyond a point where the present paid staff could manage and arrange and print the courses and text-books required by our present enrollment. Practically no expenditures or spec- ial efforts have been made to adver- tise or extend the work thus far as there has been a healthy growth due almost entirely to the recommenda- tions of other agencies for the blind throughout the country. As the vast majority of the blind are dependent upon others for food and shelter all courses are given FREE to the students, who are enrolled from practically every state and from sev- eral foreign countries. Your board believes that the value and practicability of this, the first cor- respondence school for the blind, has been proved, and that the number of students enrolled should continue to be increased gradually so that great- er numbers may share in the opportun- ity and profit that our school can provide. We are accordingly now planning to add courses in the study of instrumental music and others, and are making a study to determine the most economical way of reaching in- creased numbers of the blind. Our expenditures for the first vear (1922) amounted to $5877.84. They will be approximately $7200 for 1923, and we estimate that due to increased enrollment $10,000 will be required for 1924. It is a source of satisfaction to vour board to report to you that in their judgement the work has been carried on efficiently and that it is bringing new interest and hope into many lives: we are encouraged to believe that it will ultimately be the indirect, if not in many cases the direct cause of helping the blind to become self-sup- porting, the product of which is con- tentment and happiness. We believe you may feel confident that your support of the school has paid large dividends in the good ac- complished. E.V.L. Brown, Chairman. Durham, Treasurer. Raymond E.

The change was made in the past week. ; EDUCATORS SPONSOR COURSE OF LECTURES The regret at the discontinuance of the University Extension lectures, car-| ried on for so many years in various centers of Chicago and its suburbs, led the Board of the Chicago Teacher's College to arrange a course of six lec- tures, in the hope of at least partially meeting the need expressed by many. The first three lectures of this course, by Prof. Earl Barnes, of Phila- delphia, were completed on Thursday of this week. The last three lectures will be held on succeeding Tuesday evenings, at the Parker school audi- torium, 330 Webster avenue, Chicago, at 8 o'clock. On November 13, Mrs. Margaret J. Stannard, of Boston, will speak on "Highest Education versus Higher Education." Mrs. Stannard, Director of the Garland School of Home-mak- ing, Boston, is a woman combining the unusual qualities of a philosophic attitude of mind with rare judgement and use of the scientific basis of edu- cation in the culture and training of young women. On November 20, Prof. Thomas W. Surrette, of Concord, Mass., will have as his subject, "The Place of Music in * Education." Mr. Surrette was formerly staff lecturer to the Exten- sion Delegacy of Oxford university, and lecturer at the University of London and Birmingham university. He is also director of music at Bryn Mawr college, the North Shore Coun- try Day school, Winnetka, the Shady Hill school, Cambridge, Mass., and is the author of "Music and Life," "The Appreciation of Music" and other well known works. On November 27, Prof. Ian Camp- bell Hannah, Cambridge university, England will present "The Fourth Century and the Twentieth." Mr. Hannah is a native of England, and a fellow of the Royal Geograph- ical society. For some years he was Cambridge university extension lec- turer in England. At present he is professor of ecclesiastical history in the Oberlin Graduate School of Theology. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Replogle, 910 Oak street, gave a dinner party Wed- nesday evening for nineteen guests. Oil Tank, Gateman's Hut Are Cause of Fire Calls An overheated oil furnace was the cause of a "run" for the Winnetka Fire department to the home of Donald H. Jeffris, 811 Bryant avenue, Friday, November 2, to extinguish a small blaze which had completely enveloped the oil tank. The department worked about 20 minutes and succeeded in minimizing the damage. On the following day, the department was called to the gateman's shanty of the Northwestern Railroad at the cor- ner of Pine and Center streets, which had caught fire when sparks from a . passing locomotive lodged among the shingles. The loss was very slight. DEATH TAKES MRS. HAWLEY Mrs. Edwin W. Hawley of 552 Hawthorn lane, passed away November 1. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. James A. Richards on Saturday and burial was at Park Ridge. Mr. and Mrs. Miles S. Whitney entertained twelve guests at bridge Saturday night in their home, 888 Oak street.
