WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1924 NTCAIN MEMBER DRIVE Launch Whirlwind Campaign to Secure Complete Mem- bership in Village HOLD ANNUAL BALLOT Lloyd Hollister Is Re-elected President Lloyd Hollister, president of Lloyd Hollister, Inc., publishers, was re- elected president of the New Trier Commercial association at the annual meeting of the organization held in its offices in the Brown building, Wil- mette, Monday evening of this week. Elected to assist in directing the affairs of the association were Carl A. Sterner, vice-president; FEverett Dannemark, treasurer; and the fol- lowing directors: John J. Moran, L. Abrahams, F. H. Gathercoal, George White, A. C. Wolff, Earl Weinstock and William Edwards. Plans for an intensive, whirlwind membership campaign were formu- lated at the annual session and defi- nite plans adopted to conduct a three- day drive beginning Monday, January 28, in which it is hoped that every merchant and professional man in the community not now affiliated with the association will become availed of the advantages this agency for mutual benefit and civic advancement. The campaign will be formally launched at a luncheon in Welch's cafe on Monday, following which teams of workers will call upon all business firms eligible for membership in the effort to make the association actually representative of every com- mercial establishment in the village. Last Monday's meeting was one of the most interesting in recent months. Reports indicating the progress oi the work of the association were particu- larly encouraging and had the desired effect of spurring on the members to even more vigorous activity in the coming year. Elmer Nilles of the Central Coal and Material company was accepted as a member at the meeting. Steady Growth Marks State Bank Business Officers and directors were reelected at the recent annual meeting of the stockholders of the Winnetka State Bank, and the report of the condition of the bank for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1923, indicated a splendid prog- ress thoroughly in accord with the steady development of business in the community. "The past year has been one of con- tinual progress," President Hale states. "Since coming into our new building, our business has steadily increased." According to the official report of the condition of the bank, the capital stock is $50,000, with a surplus of $25,000. Time deposits reached $368,834 in 1923 and demand deposits, $497,837, making a total of $866,671. The total resources showed $964,057.43. Officials elected at the recent meeting included: Henry R. Hale, president; Louis B. Kuppenheimer, vice-president and Sanborn Hale, cashier. PLAYERS HAVE BUSY SEASON Booked for Many Perform- ances of "13th Chair" The North Shore Players, who, a few weeks ago, scored a decided suc- cess with their interpretation of "The 13th Chair" at the midway Masonic temple, Chicago, and this week-end played to large audiences in Wilmette, are facing the prospect of having to choose among several organizations for bookings in the coming weeks, accord- ing to Sidney Spiegel, Jr.,, of Winnetka, president of the Players. Following three performances in Wil- mette as a benefit for the Police Pen- sion fund in the village, the Players are expected to be booked for a solid week at the Midway temple and later for other performances in Chicago Masonic benefit programs. Following the completion of the run on "The 13th Chair," the youthful art- ists under Miss Jessie Royce Landis' tutelage, will probably give several per- formances of "Three Live Ghosts," with which they won popular acclaim last season. There is also the prospect that the Players will be taken en tour in com- pliance with demands for appearances in various cities of the Middle West and South. Some of the young people who are do- ing splendid work with the Players are Constance Park, Fanelma Schulmeyer, Helen Davis, Neola Northam, Earleene Edwards, Helen Sandford, Joan Hart- ryce, N. Hawley Mertz, Melvin Wam- boldt, Everett Fox, Montgomery Major, Richard Bradley, W. Harlan Ware, Robert Felsenthal, J. Lincoln Gibson and Walter Klauke. Assisting Miss Landis and Mr. Spiegel in the production of the plays are Jean Scudder, Robert Felsenthal and Horace Sistare, SCHOOL PROBLEMS By SUPT. WASHBURNE "The ability to solve present day problems in terms of the past exper- ience of the race is one of the crying needs of our civilization today. In the past we have assumed that if children knew the facts of history and geog- raphy, they would apply this knowl- edge to the solution of political, eco- nomic and industrial problems as they met these in life. Nothing can be more obvious when one looks at our legislatures and congress today, than that the mere knowledge of history does not insure scientific thinking concerning current problems. "It was in order to work out a sys- tem of training for children in the solution of current problems that Harold Rugg of Teachers' College of Columbia University spent several years in gathering data as to what constitute the most common problems confronting the--American people to- day. After listing these problems he developed a course in social science for seventh, eighth, and ninth grade children, in which they were given direct training in the intelligent dis- cussion of the problems. Such a prob- lem as immigration has elements in" it that are quite understandable-by chil- dren in the grades. Rugg has brouen together those facts of history and geography that have "direct bearing Ph.

BAKKEMO upon immigration for example, and has worked them into a course wherein the children participate actively in the discussion of this important question. "In a series of social science pam- phlets built on this basis Rugg has prepared the first real course in solv- ing current problems in the light of the past history of the race. These pamphlets are the basis of our work in the seventh and eighth grades in Winnetka. "The children thoroughly enjoy the discussions based upon Rugg"s social science pamphlets. Last spring at a basket ball banquet at Community House, the children, after cheering some of the basket ball heroes, pro- posed "Nine Rah's for Rugg." The cheers were lustily given, the first time in my knowledge that the author of a text book has been cheered by children who study it. "And not only do the children enjoy this work. They derive real value from it. Some of our eighth graders are more intelligent concerning civic problems than are their parents. A number of parents have borrowed from us Rugg pamphlets in order to become as intelligent as their children. "When children are trained to at- tack the real problems of today in the light of knowledge instead of in the darkness of prejudice, when they have learned to weigh coolly both sides of a question instead of swinging passion- ately to one side, they will grow into citizens of a new order. It is only with such citizens that democracy is safe." rl LE L LLL ZZ | | because properly kept in air- tight refrigerators. the greatest care of all our meats so that they shall be ever in good condition.
