14 WINNETKA: TALK February 4, 1928 Panthers Trim "Big Five" in Heated Cage Affray The Panthers basketball team of Winnetka growled and snarled as it came from behind in a fast game with the Winnetka "Big Five" team, to win by a score of 13 to 9. The gain was made during the last quarter. The game was at Community House, Mon- day evening. It was the first real game for both the Panthers and the "Big Five," and there wasn't as much team work as was expected. The Panthers, however, are plan- ning to have a game each Monday evening at 7 o'clock, at the Com- munity House Gym, and will soon per- fect their organization. The members. are "Galk" Runnfeldt, center; "Mim" Runnfeldt, and Felix Balak, forwards; "Ches" Thorsen, at one guard position with "Sheik" Bel- mont and "Fanny" Runnfeldt fighting it out at the other.

Article on Local Schools in Current Issue of Magazine An account of the Winnetka Public schools appears in the February num- ber of the magazine, American Child- hood. The author, Superintendent Carleton Washburne, has chosen for his story the suggestive title, "Fitting the School to the Individual," thus con- trasting the methods of the Winnetka schools with those of schools elsewhere. Winnetka is here characterized by the editor of the magazine as a "typical American town which has so solved this school problem as to have become a model for the entire country and an international vision." In the article, Superintendent Wash- burne calls attention to the rather heterogeneous nature of the school population. He then passes on to a brief description of the four schools and pays tribute to the members of the school board as "high-minded, intelli- gent, public-spirited persons." The curriculum in the Winnetka schools, continues the writer, is divided into two general branches: the "com- mon essentials" and the "group and creative activities." Progress in the former is strictly individual, each child moving onward a. nis own rate. He stays on one phase of work until he masters it, thus achieving a "goal." The tests used ta determine a pupil's ac- complishment have mostly been pre- pared in the Winnetka schools. The practice books studied by the pupils in preparation for the tests were written by class-room teachers and edited by the superintendent. These books are self-corrective, each child correcting his own work by checking it up with answers in the practice book. The child does no repeating, though, if necessary, he remains in the same class-room as long as two years. The "group and creative activities" may be classed under eight heads: (1)" Discussions: Not recitations but genuinely free and full discussions, es- pecially in work in history, geography, and civics. (2) Self-government. As- semblies presided over by pupils; Com- mittee activities; Taking part in busi- ness meetings of the entire assembled school. (3) Dramatics: Informal class dramatizations; Fairly elaborate public performances. (4) Projects: School paper. (5) Assemblies: Programs worked out by pupils. (6) Handwork: Sand tables, wood-work, pottery, sew- ing. (7) Art and music: Mainly for self- expression; Appreciation; Group sing- ing. (8) Physical Education: Individaul and social. One fact deserves emphasis. Chil- dren trained by the individual method have been found entirely able to hold their own in high school classes taught by the class method. Max Woldenberg of 1168 Asbury avenue, Hubbard Woods, returned re- cently from a stay of several months in Phoenix, Ariz., where his family will stay until the middle of May. Mr. Woldenberg will stop at the Drake hotel, Chicago, until he returns to bring his family home. oO Mr. and Mrs. Henry Isaacs arrived in Winnetka Thursday to spend a few days with Mrs. Isaacs' sister, Mrs. Ed- ward F.
