T=. 74 WINNETKA TALK October 27, 1928 P.T. A. Notes The Winnetka Public most graciously co-operating with the Parent-Teacher association in giving over a large book-shelf to the books chosen by Miss Dummer and Mrs. Lee as being of special interest to par- ents on the subject of child-study. This list which was published in the P. T. A. news of the last issue of WINNETKA TALK is augmented by other splendid books on education chosen Library is also by Miss Dummer from the library shelves. The library board have been most geenrous in their willingness to buy any books suggested by the Parent- Teacher association. In fact they have purchased for us two copies of each volume on the original list, whicin is. now installed in the Hubbard Woods, Greeley, and - Horace Mann schools. Any parent desiring to take one of the books from the Public Li- brary will find the shelf in a most prominent place, just to the right of North NOW MOST FAVORED This Exclusive Amer (oe (Creation The vogue of Puritan Rimless Glasses has more to support it than the symmetry and distinctiveness of the style. The Puri- tan has not only eliminated the old disfigur- ing shell rims, for dress and street wear, but has taken the lead over all other rim- less glasses. It is the most adaptable to the features, unobtrusive, simple and en- hancing to youthful appearance. Ask to sce the Puritan at any Almer Coe Store.

Edward Yeomans will be the speaker at the first evening meeting of the Winnetka Parent-Teacher association. We welcome Mr. Yeomans as a for- mer Winnetka resident, as a member of the school board which brought Mr. Washburne here, and as an eminent leader in progressive education. The meeting will be on Tuesday evening, November 13, at the Skokie school and will be a general meeting of all the public schools in Winnetka. The parents and teachers of New Trier high school and of North Shore Country Day school have also been invited to attend. Mr. Yeomans' subject will be "The Progressive School Situation." As many Winnetkans have known Mr. Yeomans and his work, this meeting will be for him a return to a host of cordials friends. When Mr. Yeomans lived in Win- netka he was a member of the Board of Education for a number of years. It was through his efforts that Mr. Washburne was brought here from California, and it was his ambition and vision to make the Winnetka schools progressive. It was through his contact with Winnetka schools that Mr. Yeomans turned from business man and manu- facturer to writer and educator. His articles on education, which appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, and later in book form, under the title of "Shackled Youth," are famous. These articles have blazed new trails through the outworn, old-fashioned lockstep school systems. Progressive educators everywhere have followed his leader- ship. Mr. Yeomans left Winnetka seven years ago to become the head of his own school in the Ojai Valley, Cali- fornia. He founded this school and maintains it with a very progressive spirit. It will be interesting to show Mr. Yeomans how the Winnetka schools have progressed under Mr. Wash- burne's guidance. The Winnetka Par- ent-Teacher association could not offer a more appropriate program and speaker than Edward Yeomans on "The Progressive School Situation." Hubbard Woods School A grade mothers' meeting for Miss Lila Graham's 5th grade at Hubbard Woods school was held Monday after- noon, October 22. Mrs. Albion Webb; the room chairman, presided. Miss Graham, the teacher, discussed the work she has outlined for the year and explained the goal books. Mrs. George Lee reviewed the list of books recommended for parent reading, which are in Miss Ellwell's office. This was strictly a business meeting, and it was unanimously voted that all of their meetings should be the same.
