OUR NEW COMMUNITY HOUSE The addition to Community House is rapidly approaching completion; in fact it is now al- most ready for occupancy. With a greater Community, House; Winnetka is equipped to give its citizens more opportunities for improvement than they could possibly have forseen a few years ago. When we think 'of the numberless activities that have centered in this community build- ing during the past year our im- agination can hardly picture what will be going on there dur- ing the year of 1924. Not only is Winnetka to be congratulated on this augmenta- tion of her already wonderful re- sources, but also the entire North Shore. GIVE YOURSELF A SQUARE DEAL *Yes,. I'll servel" hes Say that when you're asked to serve on a Winnetka jury. «Re- ceive the request favorably. Some morning Marshal Flynn wjlly dome up to you on the station platform and say, "There's a call for a jury to try a case next Tues- day in Justice Northrop's court. Will you serve?" Say, "Sure! 1 guess I can fix up things down in the office so as to get out an! hour or two earlier next Tues- day." Acceptance of this responsi- bility is reasonable, because it shows that you know that real justice can be given when Win- netka citizens are willing to act on local juries. We ourselves get the same kind of justice that we give. If we have certain good convictions as to what constitutes a square deal yet are unwilling to devote a little time to the practical application of those con- victions, how can we ourselves reasonably expect to be squarely treated when we or our friends are involved? A real jury should be made up of "twelve good men and true." Help us to have that kind of juries in Winnetka. NEW TRIER ALUMNI To what individuals shall a school look for encouragement, advice, and co-operation if not to its alumni? The alumni of a school have, as a rule, been members of the school for four years. They know the school's difficulties, re- sources, failures, successes, op- portunities, and ideals. They have been in its halls and class- rooms long enough to become very well acquainted with all these phases of its life. They are, therefore, well equipped to attack the problems that confront their Alma Mater. New Trier with a graduate body of 2,000 has done well to establish a strong alumni as- sociation. Such an organization can exert a tremendous influence on the plans and activities of New Trier. It can go far towards making our high school what it can very well become-- the Best High School in the World! What do you think about the advisability of closing the Willow | Street subway? Think it would be a good idea? We don't use; it yery often. Still it's a great) deal easier than making the sharp turn west onto Ash from Wilson and climbing that steep hill right} onto the North Shore tracks.| Maybe when all the tracks are depressed things will be better.

Christ Church, Winnetka) wrecked upon the rocks indicated by that unhappy word. There are careers, begun with great promise, that are today destroyed because some person, or some group of persons, either unknow- dustry is a battleground rather than the co-operative enterprise that God intends it to be, homes are centers of contention rather than havens of peace, communities are sending out jangling and jarring discords rather than joy-giving harmonies, nations are one likes to acknowledge the' origin of the difficulty is to be One of the more tragic aspects of all this is the fact that understanding their friends, neighbors, fellow-workers, kins- folk are so frequently unwilling to undo the mischief their unjust and mistaken interpretation is responsible for.
