4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1923 SCHOOL PLANS XMAS BAZAAR Children in Skokie Art De- partment Prepare Annual Gift Articles' Sale AID HAMBURG SCHOOL Annual Dramatic Program Comes December 21 The advanced. students in the seventh and eighth grade art work at the Sko- kie school have spent much time dur- ing the present school term, preparing for their annual Christmas Bazaar. This is becoming quite an institution in Winnetka schools, and is loo%ed for- ward to by 'both children and parents. Never in the past has it been possible for any class to prepare ens ugh articles to meet the demand of the anxious buyers on the day of the sale, it is ex- - plained. This year, as in the past, em- phasis has been. placed upon usable ar- ticles, for the bazaar is not a means of "begging" money. Christmas cards, shoe trees, dusters,-hot pads, tiles, pot- tery vases, telephone pads, thimbles, and a host of other useful gift articles have been made or decorated by the students. In response to thé demand of last year, the cooking class has again been invited to contribute some. of its delicious can- dies, and quite a variety of these will also be 'on 'sale. The prices in all cases are reasonable. Fund for Hamburg School The sale will be held Friday, Decem= ber 14, and will begin at 2:30 o'clock. Experience has proved that those who wish to buy must come early, it is ex- plained. The number of articles is tco great to be accommodated in the art room, and tables will therefore be placed in the main lobby in addition to those in the art room itself. After the cost of materials is subtracted, the chil- dren participating in the bazaar have decided to devote the major portion of the proceeds to the fund being raised in the Winnetka schools for the Ham- burg school children, as part of the Skokie Christmas project. Last December the pupils of the Sko- kie school carried out their school mot- to, "Skokie Serves," by building in the school shops and laboratories more than 500 toys which were given to less for- tunate children in Chicago and as far away as the Kentucky mountains. "Gift-Giving Time" This year the children dlso wished to celebrate Christmas as a "gift-giv- ing" period. The students' council met and debated what the Skokie children could do which would bring the great- est happiness into the lives of others, and finally decided that in an attempt to partly meet the need of the children in the Hamburg school, which superin- tendent Washburne visited last year, they would be more completely fulfil- ling the ideal than in any other way. The Winnetka board of education has approved the appeal for funds not ex- ceeding 25 cents from any individual child, and the Skokie children have def- initely resolved that this shall be of COMMUNITY W SAMUEL GOLDWYN Pota ash and Pom withi VERA BERNARD CARR GORDON On the screen at last 'as the greatest laugh- provoker of the decade.

Parents are of course welcome. COUNTRY DAY PARENTS STUDY CLASS SESSIONS The parents of the North Shore Country Day school met in the largest gathering they have ever enjoyed there on Tuesday evening, December 4, to study, first hand, the aims and methods of the school. Each parent, upon entering the gym- nasium, chose the grade he wished to sit in (two or more members of the same family sitting in different rooms in order to get a more complete idea of the work) and closely observed the manner is which the class work was conducted. The following officers of the Par- ent-Teacher's organization were elected for the coming year at a meeting held during the evening: Willoughby Wal- ling, president; Thomas Damon, vice- president; Mrs. Hathaway Watson, secretary-treasurer. Perry Dunlap Smith, headmaster of the school spoke of some of the fun- damental principles of the school in- cluding 'such subjects as progressive edu- cation and the advantages of a boarding school. Mr. Walling gave an interest- ing address in which he explained how every parent could learn more about the influences surrounding his child in the school room. Following Mr. Walling's talk, the parents went to their various scheduled classes where the faculty gave them an idea of their aims and methods of con- ducting school work. In the rooms were such charts, projects, and other 'examples from the children's work as would graphically show some of the methods used. The session ended with a general meeting in the study hall of the new high school building and was followed by refreshments and a social hour. MERRY MAKERS DANCE The Merry Makers' Dance club of Glencoe will hold a dance in the gym- nasium of the Glencoe Village school Saturday evening, December 15, begin- ning at 8:30 o'clock. The Wonderland Wonders, a six-piece orchestra, will provide the music. There will be re- freshments. fr N A Beautiful Doll What's nicer than a pretty doll for a pretty little girl?

PATCHEN 574 Phone Lincoln Ave. 164 THE PUBLIC FORUM Editors note: In recent issues of Winnetka Talk the question of the pro- posed Memorial to Winnetka War heroes was brought up, first by John C. Cobb, president of the Village Improve- ment association, and later, by Thomas J. Lynch, commander of the Winnetka Post of the American Legion, both gentlemen expressing regret that Win- netka had not, as yet, established such a memorial. Mrs. Prouty's communica- tion published herewith should aid ma- terially in throwing light upon the pres- ent status of the proposed soldier me- morial. REGARDING THE WAR MEMORIAL In October, 1919, the Winnetka Com- munity council (an advisory body com- prising delegates of all the organiza- tions in Winnetka) appointed a War Memorial committee to consider what form our village memorial should take. In November, 1919, that committee presented to the Community council three different possibilities and were ad- vised as to the one contemplating a beautiful shaft on the village common. In January, 1922, after many meet- ings and much expert assistance, the Memorial committee presented their completed report. The design accepted by them was extremely lovely but called for an ex- penditure of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). for Dancing Sleep--Waltz Waring's Pennsylvanians The West, a Nest, and You--Waltz Waring's Pennsylvanians Victor Record No. 19172--10-Inch Rememb'ring--i-ox frot (from "Topsy and Eva"") Joe Raymond and His Orch.

The Community council accepted the report and directed the chairman "to appoint a finance committee to advise the council as to ways and means of financing the project." In April, 1922, the Chairman reported at the meeting of the Community coun- cii that no committee could be secured that would undertake to raise $50,000. The Memorial committee then asked that they be discharged--having com- pleted their work, and they were so dismissed, a vote of thanks being sent to each member. The Community council then "re- quested the Village Improvement asso- ciation to take up and carry to com- pletion the erection of a memorial to ALL the Winnetka citizens who served in any way during the World war. The matter thus passed into the hands of the Village Improvement association and out of the jurisdiction not only of the * Memorial committee but of the Community council. I am informed that at a very recent meeting of the Village * Improvement association, a motion was carried that the erecting of a War Memorial be at once undertaken and directing the presi- dent, Mr. John Cobb, to secure a com- mittee to raise funds and push the mat- ter to completion. The contemplated chairman is a man amply equipped to organize and successfully carry out a financial campaign for such a purpose. CARRIE, B. PROUTY, Executive Secretary, Community council. W. H.
