SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1921 Vicious Dogs Engage In Biting Epidemic Two vicious dogs played havoc on _ the north shore during the past eight days. One of the animals has been killed; the other was still at large at last reports. "Last Friday Todd Hyatt, 6 years of age, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Todd Hyatt, of 477 Elder lane, was bitten by a vicious airedale terrier. The animal was later captured by the ~ police and shot. A. C. Madden, vet- erinary surgeon, of Glencoe, conduct- ed an examination and reported the dog was suffering from the rabies, ~ The small Hyatt boy was not ser- _iously injured, it was said, but has been given every precautionary treatment. The dog was said to have belonged to Mrs. Waldo Put- nam of Poplar street. This Mrs. Putnam denied. : On Wednesday afternoon an in- nocent enough appearing mongrel was apparently enjoying the warmth of the stove in the Elm street sta- tion of the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee Electric railway. M. J. Swatek, Jr., 214 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Swatek of 4015 Clar- endon avenue, Chicago, who was in the station with his mother, attempt- ed to pet the dozing animal. The sprang and nipped the boy on the hand. The animal darted out of the station. A few moments later, wit- "nesses stated, the animal attacked a man, on the street. The police, sum- - moned by the station agent, institutec a village-wide but futile search for the mongrel. The description of the dog tallies with that of a canine which on Wed- nesday morning terrorized Wilmette school children at the Central and Laurel avenue school playgronuds, biting six children. The animal is described as of the fox terrier breed, black with white spots and rather shaggy hair. It is desired that the animal be turned over to the police immediately upon capture. Christ Church Parish Loses Prominent Men Two men who, for many years rendered able service in Christ church parish, retired from the posi- tions they held, at the parish meeting on January 11. With great regret they were permitted to retire, be- cause of the fact that they are both to be absent from Winnetka in the near future, a large part of the time. Mr. James Weart has been a mem- ber of the vestry for a period cover- ing twenty-three years, most of which time he has served as senior warden. John T. Boddie has also served as a, vestryman for only a slightly shorter period. By a rising vote the parishioners present at the meeting expressed their apprecia- 'tion of the services rendered and their great regret in the enforced re- tirement of 'these two men. Edward P. Bailey was elected to fill the vacancy as senior warden; Charles Lewis Day to replace Mr, Boddie, The Suburban Neighborly club will hold another of their series of danc- 350 Residents Attend Annual Church Session Three hundred and fifty members and friends of the Winnetka Congre- gational church participated in a dinner and the annual meeting of the congregation Wednesday evening of this week at Community House. Following the dinner interesting reports of the financial status and growth of the church were heard from church officers Burton G. At- wood, Sherman M. Gobel and Mrs. Hazvey Brewer. . An unusually interesting feature of the evening was the formal presenta- tion of the recently appointed for- eign minister of the church, Rev. Paul Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds spoke briefly of the character of work he proposes to do in foreign fields. He leaves for China next August and will be gone for seven years, Rev. J. W. F. Davies, associate pastor of the church and director of ing talk on the work of the school and prospects for the new year. He answered many questions concerning the school work.

The Cabaret Ball Remember: SCHOOL PROBLEMS By Supt. Washburne (Note: This column will be con- ducted every two weeks hereafter instead of weekly.) Q.--Aren't so many speed tests a strain on children's nerves? A.--A child seldom has more than one 3-minute speed test in any day, and this usually at his own request. To concentrate earnestly for so short a time should not strain any normal child. Occasionally, however, there are children who worry about such tests and show some evidence of strain, In those cases special pre- cautions have to be taken by the teacher, The fundamental principle of our schools in Winnetka is that schools must be fitted to the indi- vidual child. A child who has an ab- normal nervous system should be treated accordingly. Most normal healthy children are rather interested in tests instead of dreading them. Q.--How do the pupils in the Win- the Church school, gave an interest-' You will never again preserve after you try our brand of jellies, jams and preserves.

A --We have just given the Illinois examination to all children from the third to eighth grade. The same ex- amination has been given this month to the children in the Wilmette and Glencoe schools and will be given in Kenilworth. It is our purpose to make a comparative study of the re- sults of this examination, after which we will be able to report accurately how Winnetka children compare with others. Q.--Is it true that the schools are going to be shut down on account of diphtheria? A.--No, unless some entirely new and unforeseen developments occur. Such extreme precautions have been taken in regard to the one case that has developed that we do not look for any epidmic. : Miss Verne Wehmeyer of Nash- ville, Ill, is a guest at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Delbert W.
