May 15, 1926 WINNETKA TALK W. W. BEATTY GOES TO NEW YORK SCHOOL Principal of Skokie School Will Become Superintendent of Bronxville Schools in Fall Willard W. Beatty, who for the past four years has been principal of Skokie school and assistant siiperin- tendent of Winnetka schools, has ac- cepted the superintendency of schools in Bronxville, New York, and has tendered his resignation to the Win- netka Board of Education, effective September 1. Mr. Beatty has had many offers dur- ing the past two years as superin- tendent or head of private schools, but until now he has not even considered other offers. The Bronxville position, however, affords opportunities for carrying on the same type of work that he and Superintendent C. W. Washburne have been doing in Winnetka, under high- ly favorable conditions. Mr. Beatty states that he believes he can be of greater value to the cause of the type of education represented by the Win- netka schools, by establishing a cen- ter in the east. His work there will be the more valuable, he feels, since he will have both the high school and elementary schools under his super- vision. He will, therefore, be able to work out the Winnetka technique in high school subjects and to unify the elementary and high schools. Similar to Winnetka Bronxville is a suburb of New York City, somewhat similar in character to Winnetka. The Board of Education and people of Bronxville have been committed for some time to the Win- netka idea in education. They bor- rowed Miss Marian Carswell, princi- pal of Hubbard Woods school last year to help them establish Winnetka methods in their schools. The suc- cess of her work is said to be partly responsible for the demand for Mr. Beatty. The Winnetka Board of Education did everything in its power to retain Mr. Beatty's services. Mr. Beatty felt, however, that the opportunity for personal and professional advance- ment, and the opportunity to estab- lish a new center, including high school work, could not be neglected. Mr. Beatty states that he has been extremely happy in all his relations in Winnetka, with parents, pupils, faculty, superintendent and school board, and that it is with much regret that he takes this step. Henry Dickinson Dies at Evanston Hospital Henry Dickinson, father of Fred- erick Dickinson, village attorney of Winnetka, died at the Evanston hos- pital, Monday, May 10, at the age of 84 years, after an illness of several months. A short funeral service was held at Memorial Park chapel, Wed- nesday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. James Austin Richards and Dr. J. W. F. Davies, of the Winnetka Con- gregational church. "Grandpa Dick," as he was affec- tionately called by many, had made his home for the last two years with Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Dickinson, 1228 Scott avenue, Winnetka. He was born in Bedford, Lancashire, England, coming to this country forty-five years ago, first locating at Baltimore, Md., and in 1893 came to Chicago, where he resided until two years ago. He was a member of the Odd Fellows lodge at Granite. Md.

Fairies to Play at Skokie School Tonight, We Hear Do you believe in fairies? When Peter Pan came to visit us the reply of the children was pretty unanimous- ly that they did. As a result the Skokie School has invited a whole group of fairies to come and work their spell Friday and Saturday night of this week. All true believers in fairies know that when the clock strikes midnight the little people can work wonders. In "The Shepherdess and the Chim- ney Sweep" the fairies use this power to bring to life the porcelain statues, the dolls, the tin soldiers, and the spirits of the clock so that they may experience some of the emotions that we ordinarily think of as belonging to human beings alone. Helping the porcelain Chimney Sweep to win for his bride the Dres- den China Shepherdess, you will meet old Father Time himself, the merry, merry Cookoo of the clock, Tick and Tock, the fairies who control the big and little hands of the clock, and the captain of the Tin Soldiers. And there is also a whole army of tin soldiers, a nursery full of dolls, a mean old porcelain Chinaman, and the funniest, ugliest old mahogany Billy- Goats-Major-and-Lieutenant- General- War-Commander-Sergeant. All in all, it will be a most delightful trip to Fairyland, starting at 7:30 o'clock on the evenings of May 14 and 15, in Jane Kuppenheimer hall at Skokie. TAKES WALLING HOUSE F. S. Cunningham, president of Butler Brothers, Chicago, has taken the Willoughby ~~ Walling house, 1094 Private road, for the summer. The lease was made through Miss Shibley, of the real estate firm of McGuire Rad. Orr, 541 Lincoln avenue, Win- netka. : CAMP FIRE GIRL DAY Winnetka Groups to Observe Cere- monial This Afternoon in Matz Hall, C ity H Camp Fire Girls in ceremonial cos- tume will meet together in the large circle around a blazing camp fire Sat- urday afternoon, May 15, at 4 o'clock in Rudolph Matz hall, Community House.

This Food Sale Promises to Be About Best Ever The Young Peoples' society of the Winnetka Congregational church is planning to give a food sale in the assembly room of the Community House, Saturday, May 22, at 9:30 a. m. The quality, quantity, and variety of the foods there will be unsurpassed, according to several of the enthusias- tic workers on the project. There will be everything from cakes, cookies, and candies down to salads, breads,--and ice cream cones. The members of the society are not going to depend entirely on their own ability to cook but are going to call in the aid of their mothers. That it- self ought to be a sufficient recom- mendation for the products. The proceeds of the sale will be given to Tower Hill camp, which is conducted and supported hv the Con- eregational churches of Illinois. The camp has several summer sessions of instructive conferences for young peo- ple of the state and is a means of recreation for ministers. The Young Peoples' society feels in- debted to Tower Hill camp because it has sent and is planning to send several of its members to the summer conferences. For this reason nearly a hundred of its members are working "to put the sale over big." "In fact," said Fred Rummler, vice-president of the organization, "we want it to be the biggest and most successful food sale that has ever been attempted in- Win- netka, but to do this we will need the support of the women of Winnetka." step.
