SA i i i November 12, 1927 WINNETKA TALK Pupils at Hubbard Woods School Have Book Week Contest A book contest for the children of the Hubbard Woods school will be held as a special observance of Book Week under the direction of Miss Marian Elwell, principal of the school. A prize of a book is being offered to the first boy or girl of the school who submits the correct answers to a list of questions which have been compiled. No answers will be accepted, however, before November 21. The contest is the first of its type ever to be held in Winnetka and is at- tracting considerable comment and approval. It is, in addition to the fun it furnishes for the children, an ex- cellent means of learning how much they retain from their reading and causes them to be very observative while reading for pleasure. In addition to the contest a special assembly program will be held in which the children will dress to rep- resent some character in a book and the remainder of the pupils will en- deavor to guess the title of the story. Under the rules of the contest, while the books may be read by or read to the children, the questions must be answered without the aid of any other person. The answers must be written out and in each case the name of the author and the title of the book must be given. The numbers of the answers must also correspond with the num- bers of the questions. The list of questions is as follows: 1. Who wrote the poem beginning: "I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of it is more than I can see?" What are the next two lines? 2. Who came down the hill with a bundle on her back and let the merry little breezes out of the bundle to play on the plain? 3. What little girl lived in the Swiss mountains with her grandfather? : 4. Who said: "Your father had an ac- cident there. He was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor?" 5. What is the name of the little wood- en boy who had many adventures? 6. In what book do we have a story about Kit and Kat? 7. Who, after living alone on a desert island, was surprised to find the print of a man's naked foot on the shore? 8. Who said to herself: "If it had grown up it would have made a dread- fully ugly child, but it makes a rather handsome pig, I think?" 9. Who was called from Puddlyby-on- the-Marsh to cure sick monkeys in Africa? 10. To whom did a water rat call out, "Stop him, stop him, he hasn't shown his pass!"? 11. What two children came upon a gingerbread house in the woods? 12. By means of what wooden animal and in what story is an army enabled to enter a city? 13.
