Claxton, instructor in the metal arts department of the Skokie school. The classes are to be open only to older people and have been instigated as a result of numerous requests on the part of parents and teachers. They are to be conducted in such a manner that in addition to making numerous articles, permanent notes will also be taken, providing a basis for a continu- ance of the art as a hobby. The class- es will convene on Monday and Thurs- day evenings in the metal arts room at the Skokie school between the hours of seven and nine. They are open to both men and women and anyone de- siring to enter them may make ar- rangements with Mr. Claxton at the school. Students Study Local System of Instruction Over one hundred members of the sophomore class of the National Ele- mentary and Kindergarten college and a number of students from Northwest- ern University were the guests of the Winnetka schools Thursday. In an ad- dress given before the entire group at the Horace Mann school, Superintend- ent Washburne outlined the theory and practice of the individual system of instruction as carried out in the Win- netka schools. Immediately following the lecture the students were conduct- ed to the various schools throughout the village by members of the parent- teacher associations where they visited in the various clases. Masons Hear Story of Winnetka's Big Growth in Decade A large number of Masons availed themselves of the opportunity to hear Village Manager H. I. Woolhiser ad- dress the Winnetka Masonic lodge at the stated meeting, Tuesday evening, March 15. His topic was "Managing a Village,' and Mr. Woolhiser brought out clearly and in detail how local village affairs are managed. City government plans have changed and improved throughout the years until today we are enjoying the modern and successful plan known as "Council-Manager" form of munici- pal government, he explained. Mr. Woolhiser stated that this plan had been so successful that many large cities in the United States had adopted it, and others are seriously considering doing so. During his years of service as manager, in which time the popula- tion of Winnetka has more than dou- bled, there have been many improve- ments. Those standing out most prom- inently are the municipality owned and profit-paying lighting plant, the new Village hall, the filtration plant, and the recently built fire station. Mr. Woolhiser will have completed his tenth year with the village as manager on May 1 Line's "Phantom Lover" to Read at Community House The Sunday Evening Club will meet at 6 o'clock, Sunday, March 20 at Community House.
