-- November 17, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 11 Winnetka P.T. A. Notes On Tuesday evening, November 13, a singularly attentive audience heard Edward Yeomans, Californian, author, educator, and former member of our Winnetka school board, tell what he thinks progressive education should stand for. He first emphasized the im- portance of joy in the education of our youth, quoting the philosophy of Berg- son, "Nature gives one unmistakable signal that her purposes are being ful- filled, and that signal is joy." He then very forcibly asserted that one indi- vidual must not be domineering over another, that there is an inviolability in the unity and singleness of the in- dividual soul, and that both teachers and parents violate that sanctity if they get too close. A child must never feel defeated, he must validate him- self. The progressive school exposes chil- dren to the best things, not the second best, in order to establish a certain in- terest in fine things, which will per- sist. Mr. Yeomans could not give too much emphasis to the importance of the use of the hand. Here his talk be- came very impressive in telling of a "work assembly" held once a year in his school in the Ojai valley. He be- lieves that the hand and brain ought always to go together. It was the hand that made the brain. He claims that dramatics should be for those who need them most, not for the purpose of making a fine showing for the school. Many a child has found his most vital self-expression in acting a part in a play. Also dramatic art helps to impress upon the children the beauty and power in letters, writ- ten and spoken. Mr. Yeoman's practical ideals for the progressive school were also interest- ing. He hopes that some day a sys- tem may be worked out whereby the continuity of a child's work will not suffer so many interruptions. Also he disapproves entirely of children having to do school work at home, in that it divitles the family. More science should be introduced into the elementary schools. We are all too bound up in human relationships, which are com- plex. We should be able to give our allegiance also to the impersonal in- terests that science offers. Mr. Yeomans closed his speech with a friendly compliment to Winnetka. Never since he and Mrs. Yeomans left here have they found an adequate sub- stitute for this place and people. What he has seen here is unsurpassable. Mrs. Ellen A. Carpenter Dies Following Illness Mrs. Ellen A. Carpenter, for many years a resident of the north shore, died Monday November 12, at the Ev- anston hospital, following an illness of two months. She was 74 years old. Mrs. Carpenter was the mother of Mrs. Howard W. Fenton, formerly of 818 Bryant avenue. Mrs. Stanley Mor- rill and Mrs. Gerald Horton, of Kansas City, are granddaughters. Funeral services were held Wednesday, No- vember 14, at Oakwoods. Start Class in Make-Up; One Evening a Week A class in make-up under the aus- pices of the Community Drama club is offered to all interested, with pro- fessional teaching. One evening will be arranged if enough people are in- terested. "Give your name to Mrs. Louis Sherman, phone 968, or to Mrs. Goble, if you care to join the class," reads the invitation. The fee will be smaller if the class is large, it is ex- plained. Morgan 616 Davis Street | Oranges | FLORIDAS Full of Juice Large Size, Reg. $1.00 doz.
