VIII, NO. 27. WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1919 TEN PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS LARGE ENROLLMENT NOW SCHOOL PUZZLE Not Kept Apace With Ever Increasing En- rollment in Grade Schools Equipment and Space Superintendent Explains Need of New School Buildings To House Overflow of Pupils Enrollment in the Winnetka schools is 15 per cent more at present than it was a year ago at this time. This means an increase in enrollment dur- ing the year of 150 pupils over the enrollment of last vear. Tn announc- ing these figures this week Superin- tendent Washburne Explained: "With all this increase in popula- tion we have no increase in space. The congestion of the schools is be- coming more and more serious. If we do not soon have some building room, Winnetka will have to aban- don its policy of moderate sized classes and begin to force the child- ren into large, crowded classes, such as are found in large cities. At pres- ent the classes are somewhat too large in many. instances, in spite of the use of every available inch of the three present school buildings. Every effort has been made to pre- vent overcrowding. District boundar- ies have been shifted to equalize the pressure on the three schools, and everything possible has been done within the limits of the present build- ings. This increased growth of school population, however, means that dur- ing the year the condition will be- come more and more serious. Some outlet must be found. This means a new school building." Winnetka Girls Are Canning For Mothers The children in the Domestic Science classes have started the year by adding to the contents of their mothers' pantries. They brought vegetables and fruits from home, and have canned them under the super- vision of Miss Ruth M. Longfellow, teacher of domestic science, taking back the completed products' to their homes. The work they have done has not been of the small sample variety, but full quart jars of deli- cious looking string beans, tomatoes, peaches, and pears have gone into the homes. Miss Longfellow, who has succeed- ed Miss Feldkirchner in the Winnet- ka schools. intends to give the pupils work 'of the most practical nature, encouraging them to do cooking in school which will be of direct use cafeteria lunches for children and teachers at the Horace Mann school, thus learning to shop, plan, and cook | on a fairly large scale. In this way she plans to make the cooking course | thoroughly practical. i BOY SCOUTS WILL SHOW MOVIES NE Beginning Sat October 4, the W will resume matinees.

John Miller's Family is Crying for Help; Will You Help Provide Food and Shelter? John Miller, flagman for the North- western railway, lies helpless at the 'Fovanston hospital. His Bette family in Glencoe is practically destitute. Over the tiny, drab cottage, which they call home, hangs a heavy mortgage. John Miller three weeks ago risked his life in a heroic but vain attempt to save the lives of the father and mother of the little Tanner children. are being provided for the Funds The Flagman's Family Tanner children by popular subscrip- tion. From all over the country the dollars are pouring into headquarters in Chicago. But how about John Miller lying, broken in body, on his cot in the hospital? How about his invalid wife and those babes in dire need of the bare necessities of life? ILast week the Village Board of Winnetka inaugurated a campaign to raise a trust fund for the Miller fam- ily. The Board subscribed $100 and named L. Sherman Aldrich of Hub- hard Woods to take care of the relief fund for Miller and seek co-operation through representatives of other north shore Villages in a general campaign .all along the north shore to raise a trust fund of $12,000. Mr. Sherman has worked cease- lessly, sacrificing more than a week from private enterprise, in an effort to line-up all the Villages on the north shore in this campaign. He has met with only partial success. [It is sad f nevertheless quite obtai ampaige sod fact. but trish efforts to L( conduct tne provided ily v to and shelter Sur y ts of the north Many apparen that the necessity 1s Rest the need. realized ly have not im- mediate. That action in the campaign must be prompt and that every per- son who wishes to aid in this worthy cause is expected to put forth every effort without delay. Wednesday evening at the Wil- mette Village theater approximately [$150 was collected for the Miller Fund 'by a group of young women under | direction of Mrs. Fred G. White. Mr. { Hope Thompson, appealed to the audience for help in the cause. Donations to the Miller Fund may bn mailed to Mr. L. Sherman Ald- rich, 1160 Oakley avenue, Hubbard Woods, or to any of the following women who have been appointed to take charge of the contributions in the various villages: Mrs. Allan IL Wolff, 325 Ridge avenue, Winnetka; Mrs. Hugh A. Foresman, 515 Essex road, Kenilworth; Mrs. Fred G. White, Wilmette, address," North Shore Hotel, Evanston; Mrs. Robert D. Cunningham, 1718 Orrington ave- nue, Evanston; Mrs. Laird Bell, 1274 North avenue, or Miss Augusta Feng- er, 602 Spruce street, Hubbard Woods; Mrs. Gordon A. Ramsay, 100 Beach road, Glencoe, in charge of north east precinct. ; 1 solicited. The' job is" too big for one man or for a small group of solicitors. It is wisely suggested that the well or- ganized and efficient Libert yloan organizations take up the work and make a quick job of it. This is be- ing done in Winnetka and is already proving successful. Glencoe, Kenil- worth and Wilmette are requested by Mr. Aldrich to adopt the same or similar methods of campaign. Glen- coe, th ehome of the Miller family, has been slowest in arriving at definite plans of action. In Wilmette the pastors have announced the campaign from the pulpits. At the Wilmette Presbyterian church C. C. Schultz has been appointed to ac- cept contributions to be turned over to Mr. Aldrich. Other than this there have been no definite plans of campaign in Wilmette. The plea is for prompt action and a generous response is urgently Help the Miller family to- day by mailing a check or pledge to LL. Sherman Aldrich, 1160 Oakley ave- nue, Hubbard Woods. Will the north shore dare to fail in this its own charity when other cities and towns the country over are generously sub- scribing to this most worthy cause? Mr. L.

Adams was strumming a popular | tune on his ukelele 'when ['laherty, | who is known as the "horse marine," {rambled along in his Ford and gruffly {informed the boys to "come along to the station." | The boys obeyed immediately and | Adams, sitting in the back seat, start- | ed playing his "uke" again. Flaherty | became quite angry and ordered him to stop, "or he'd make him." On arriving at the station Spiegel was booked and nothing was said about Rummler and Adams while the Flaherty called Chief Peterson and asked what he should do with the boys. After the conversation was concluded the boys were informed that they were to appear before Mrs. Thurston early this week. Rummler immediately stated that the wrong one of the trio had been booked-- that he had done the shooting. "Well, we'll book you for good luck then," Flaherty is reported as having said.
