- February 26, 1927 WINNETKA TALK MUSIC GUILD MEETS Winnetka Teachers Discuss Best | Methods and Aims of Music In- | | struction | | Private music teachers and teachers | in the public and private Winnetka gathered together Monday | evening, February 21, in the schools in Camp | Fire room of the Community House, | in a most interesting meeting of the Winnetka Branch of the Music Guild | of the North Shore. A series of talks on articles appear- ing in current magazines, led to valu- discussion of the and aims in musical instruction. Progressive Education magazine, and the New Era, published in London, | devoted their last numbers entirely to | music, and were taken up in detail by | the guild. The Modern Music maga- zine also contained much of interest | and stimulation to the members of the guild. In addition to this part of the pro- gram, Mrs. Burton H. Atwood brought up the subject of Winnetka's part in| the celebration of Music week, which is to be held the first week in May. Plans for the Music week will be| definitely announced later. It is the| hope of the group in charge of the North Shore, to make the week more of a "music-in-the-home" week, par- ents and children joining in the sing- ing of songs. Groups, such as glee] clubs and choirs, are of course ex- pected to lend a definite share to the program. For those unfamiliar with the ob- ject and purposes of the Music Guild, it is announced that any private teach- er interested, or any public schoo! teacher, is cordially invited to attend | the meetings and become a member. | With the north shore so filled with music teachers, each striving to give their pupils the best musical educa- tion possible, co-operation leads to new ideas and stimulation. The guild furnishes a place for discussion and problem-solving, and keeps its mem- bers in touch with the latest and best in methods of instruction. - Wilmette, Evanston and Winnetka have active branches of the guild. Each president of the local branches is automatically elected a vice-presi- dent of the North Shore organization. Mrs. Frank Bailey, of the North Shore Country Day school, is president of the Winnetka group, and represents the local guild on the larger board. methods The able best The number of horses in Illinois de- creased 52,000 during 1925 and 49,000 during 1926.

But in this institution it is not the composite of the personalities of the members of the organization. It is much more than that--a fusing of these per- sonalities into an harmonious whole un- der the influence of forces from without as well as within. The personality of this organization has been developed by training and mellowed by time and experience. If it did not fairly contribute to banking efficiency, it would have no part in delivering the extra measure of service normal to this institution. And it does that.
