April 10, 1926 WINNETKA TALK Winnetka's Early Problems Told (Continued from Page 5) school of high grade open to sexes and of a non-sectarian charac- ter for moderate tuition. "It is not to be denied that the school established and maintained by the University has, thus far, disap- pointed us. Nor can we, on the other hand, conceal the fact that the village disappointed the University first by an entire years' delay in giving them the lease, and secondly in being nearly half a year behindhand in getting ready the dormitory. The delay in completing the dormitory arose partly from the unfaithfulness of some sub- contractors, but more from large losses by the contractor the Chicago fire. "I was myself on the building com mittee for the dormitory, and asso- ciated with me were Messrs. Atwood and Dale, and I am happy to accord each of those gentlemen the highest praise for faithfulness and strict regard to economy all the way on in the work of construction. Delay in Building "But, in spite of faithfulness and care, the job dragged -- the building was not seasonably ready, and, nat- urally enough, the institution it was to subserve has been unfavorably af- fected by the delay. 3ut now the con- struction is complete, and we are ready to require from the University its faithful performance of its part of the lease. This is the iast term of the collegiate year and probably no change can be effected during this term. But when the long summer va- cation comes--the season for making new plans, programmes and pros- pectuses--then we must seasonably see that all proper steps be taken to secure to us, to our children, to the community, an altogether more widely Sauipped academy than we have yet ad. "I have dwelt at length upon this topic because it is of leading im- portance to the interests and the best success of our corporation. Institu- tions of learning of the higher grades both | himself by | reaches of time. with this enterprise. i we are faithful to our towards it, that even the oldest of us will yet have opportunity to be proud of our own local collect. Urges Graded Schools "Our district school, during a por- tion of the last year, has been some- | what crowded. It would have been a relief to the teacher, and of material advantage to the younger scholars, if a few of the older pupils had with- drawn from it and gone to the acad- emy. But the teacher has not com- plained, and at the present term the | numbers are not so large, and the school is likely to be satisfactory. But our common school interests can not be wholly satisfactory till we can grade the schools, and this we cannot | do until the numbers are such as to require two teachers; then the oldest pupils may compose one school and the younger ones another. The result of this, as experience everywhere has shown, is greater thoroughness in the teaching of all the grades, for the simple reason that each teacher is not obliged to teach all grades, and to divide up her time between so many classes and recitations as to force her to spoil most of them by hurrying through. "I shall say but a word of our streets, although the care of them forms an important part of our re- sponsibilities. The opening of some streets will probably be effected this year. I shall be glad to find you in- terested in this means of promoting the prosperity of the village. "The new act lately approved by the governor authorizing our village of- ficers to make new assessment rolls in place of those destroyed by the fire, and to proceed and collect the taxes of 1871, will claim early attention. "The loss of our ordinances by the depot fire will make it necessary to have several new ones prepared. Not more than three, or, at most, four will be immediately wanted.
