WINNETKA WEEKLY TALX, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1923 FATHERS TOLD OF THEIR DUTY Expert on Boy Problems Address "Dad's Night" Meeting at School GIVEN MANY A HINT Told to Assume Interest in Children's Work Two hundred and fifty fathers of New Trier High school students met in the school auditorium recently to hear G. Adams Puffer speak on "The Job of Being a Father." It is very common for the student body to hear noted speakers in the almost weekly assemblies, but for the purpose was quite unusual. son for having a special "Dads' Night' was that the school administration tion from a well informed person €ommanding Personality voice and commanding personality choosing a vocation.

His knowledge of his subject was enhanced by a strong He spoke first on the matter of said that the question frequently arises, "When should a boy select his future occupa- In replying to this he said that scarcely any boy can definitely make up his mind about his life work However, this does not mean that the youth should ignore the question.

"The general concep- tion of a farmer," he said substantial- ly, "is a poor, overworked man. True, there are many of this type, but there are also well-to-do farmers who con- duct their work on a modern scale, using up-to-date methods. A youth who takes a course in an agricultural school and who manages his farm in a systematic way can be as successful in farming as other men are in busi- ness or intellectual pursuits." Auto Newest Problem Mr. Puffer then left the subject of choosing a vocation, and discussed with the fathers several modern prob- lems of the high school, placing spe- cial emphasis on the automobile. He by no means denied the utility of that invention, but did say that too free use of cars by high school students is not only dangerous, but also de- tracts from their work and creates irregular habits. He closed by pointing out that one of the best ways to remedy difficulties at ,| school is for the parents to take a wider interest in what goes on there. "The ordinary man," said he, "rushes to work in the morning to tackle some important business. He never thinks of stopping at the school build- ing to see how his children are get- ting along. The board of education cannot do everything for these chil- dren; the parents themselves must take more interest in the work of the school." a ' Storm of Questions Throughout the whole two hour ad- dress the listeners showed an enthusi- - | astic spirit. When members of the audience were told to ask any de- sired questions, the men stood up two at. a time. : To furnish additional entertainment the high school band played several selections at the beginning of the pro- gram.

Baby Bonds The demand for the new 44% Treas- ury Saving Certificates which were of- fered to the public on December 1 has exceeded the expectations of the U. S. Treasury departmerft, according to a statement made today by William B. Bosworth, Government Savings Direc- tor for the Seventh Federal Reserve district. "The government printing of- fice could not print the Certificates rap- idly enough to keep pace with the sales at the twelve Federal Reserve Banks and the 40,000 post offices which act as sales agencies," said Mr. Bosworth. Over three million dollars have been invested in these new "Baby Bonds" since December 1st in the Seventh Dist. alone. The $100 Certificate which now sells for $60 is the most popular de- nomination in spite of the fact that a $25 Certificate which now sells for $20 is also offered. The new interest rate, tax exemption and payment-on-demand features of these securities are attract- ing large investors also and many of them are disappointed when they learn that no individual can invest more than $4,000 in them this year. An additional allotment of blank Cer- tificates is being sent to each postmaster this week and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago is now in position to fill all subscriptions promptly.
