WINNETKA TALK November 6, 1926 AT PRICES That Save Much UST take home a roast or some chops for tonight's dinner when you pass the Peters Market today. Our meats are not only the tenderest and tastiest but lowest in price. Peters Market Phones 920-921 734 Elm Street OPEN FORUM (Continued from Page 50) has long outgrown the mere recogni- [tion contest. The students are now learning form and nationality in music They are taught to recognize by his style and idiom the composer of com- positions unfamiliar to them. While it would be unfair to compare through- out the work of students of high [school age with that of younger chil- | dren, it is nevertheless proper to note | that New Trier High school has an ex- | cellent senior orchestra of forty-three members, a junior orchestra of twenty- {five and a band. To many of these |are loaned, "not rented out," musical | instruments belonging to the school and representing a capital investment of $1,000. Furthermore, over one thou- {sand students receive weekly one pri- | vate lesson and three ensemble les- sons, also without charge. Nor has [choral work been neglected, with over [three hundred children singing stan- {dard choral works. Attendance at the Children's con- certs in. Chicago, proved impracticable for north shore children, whereupon Mrs. Cotton succeeded in arranging for a series of four such concerts at the high school auditorium. These con- certs were given by the Little Sym- vhony orchestra, consisting of forty first stand men from the Chicago Symphony orchestra under the able 'eadership of Mr. George Dasch. At the same time a series of seven eve- ning concerts was arranged for the adults. The latter series has almost from the first financed the annual deficit in the children's series which has never. been fully or sufficiently subscribed, and the continuance of which is threatened by lack of sup- port. In addition to one year of musi- cal appreciation study New Trier High school requires of its students as a condition to graduation, one year's attendance at these concerts. In passing it must be remarked that not even the vision, courage and persever- ance of a Mrs. Cotton could have ac- complished much without the appre- |ciative and enthusiastic support at every turn from the principal at New Trier, Frederick E. Clerk. The figures for the present season of the Children's concerts are charac- teristic so far as concerns the Winnet- ka public schools. Eight hundred tick- ets have been subscribed. Kenilworth leads with the highest proportion of its quota. Winnetka stands at the bottom of the list, with a total sub- scription of 110, of which Skokie school, with an attendance of about 400 students, contributes 22. Verily: "There is much to be done, but we have a beginning." Sincerely yours, Genevieve Whitman. Chicago Rotarians Elect J. VanderVries President John N.
