WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1925 WANT CHILDREN OFF N. T. FIELD Danger of Injury Cited by School Officials Co-operation of the parents is sought, in a communication from New Trier high school authorities, in the matter of keeping small children off the athletic field and away from the construction work now in progress on the high school premises. This request on the part of the school officials is made in the interest of preventing possible serious injury to the little children who have been in the habit of employing the high school premises for play purposes, The school, it is pointed out, cannot, since it has no official control over the chil- dren, take the initiative of keeping them off the grounds, and is thus ap- pealing for aid from the parents. "We would be more glad to have the little tots make use of our athletic field for play purposes," one high school official said in commenting on the matter, "but it must be apparent to anyone who has ever observed the situation that exists, that the small children are liable to serious injury in coming in contact with students who are engaged in their more strenuous athletic activities. Several injuries have occurred and now, with the new heat- ing plant construction work in prog- ress, the danger is considerably aug- mented. We would regard it as a great favor if the parents would co- operate with us by warning the young children to avoid the high school grounds in their play. We wish to emphasize that this appeal is made solely in the interest of the little ones, because, if it were not for the danger involved, we would be glad to have them come to our athletic field and enjoy the playground privileges it naturally affords. We naturally can- not accept responsibility for injuries to children who are not students of our high school, and since some have al- ready been injured it seems advisable that parents should be warned of the danger." Miss Betty Knode, 681 Lincoln ave- nue, has left for Middlebery, Conn. to enter her first year at Westover.
