WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK Nearly Everybody In Winnetka Reads The Talk I VOL. VIII, NO. 14. WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, TUNE 20, 1919 EIGHT PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS FAIRYLAND OPERETTA TO AID ARDEN SHORE Winnetka Children Rehearsing Play- let To Be Given at Scott Estate July 11 and 12 BENEFIT FOR REST CAMP Proceeds To Go To Arden Shore Camp For Tenement District Vacationists Winnetka children are rehearsing | | the charming operetta, "The House that Jack Built," by Jessie Gaynor | and Alice D.

Res Natural Stage | The wonderful, natural beauty of! the Scott place with its marvelous | old trees, lends itself perfectly to the staging of the operetta which is composed of all the familiar persons and scenes of child-lore. Therz are to be fairies, crows, blackbirds enough to make the dish set before Old King Cole, the Knave of Hearts who makes all the trouble and, incidentally, the story, by stealing the delicious tarts made by the Queen of Hearts, charm- ing interpretive dances, especially beautiful lighting effects and, withal, a very complete and beautiful per- formance is assured. Rest For The Poor It is quite the most natural thing for Winnetka children to feel that they too wish to contribute to the welfare of hundreds of less fortun- ate children of the crowded city and make it possible for them to have a little of the fresh air and lake breeze which Arden Shore gave to more than seventeen hundred mothers and children last year. More details of the operetta will be given in a suc- ceeding issue of the Weekly Talk. UNIVERSITY TANK TO OPEN MONDAY | On Monday Northwestern univer- sity open the summer swimming school for its ninth season. This de- parture of the university has met with great favor with residents of the north shore. Last year the en-| rollment for this school was about five hundred. least that number will join this year. The university has used every pre- caution to make the pool sanitary. The water is sterilized every day and | tested frequently by city officials. ! The new equipment installed con-| tinually refilters the water and throws 100 gallons of fresh water into the pool per minute. From indications of preparation and interest the summer school of 1919 will be of great help and credit to the north shore. The well known coach, Tom Robin- son, will be in charge. THESE HAVE PERFECT ATTENDANCE RECORD Eight pupils in the Winnetka | schools were able to make the envi- | able record of being neither absent | nor tardy during the whole year. The | action of the Winnetka Board of|the epidemics prevented anyone else from | making this record.

The schedule for experience is:bas-! ed on the assumption that the 'rst year of experience brings the great- est increase in efficiency, the second year a little less, the third year not quite so much, and that by the time the teacher has taught for five years per year than is #rovided by the general schedule. Teachers graded B, in efficiency will receive $25 more than the general schedulé provides. Principals, because of the extra work and responsibility involved, | will receive $100 more than the gen- eral schedule provides.
