WINNETKA TALK October 30, 1926 Lee Says: WE are going to try THE same stunt that THE inquiring reporter DOES in the Tribune but INSTEAD of asking for QUESTIONS we are going TO let you folks try YOUR hand at writing COPY for our "ads" IN the WINNETKA TALK.

Rodgers of 850 Locust street is accustomed to drive his new sedan! to the city, and to park it near Lake | and Canal streets. Thursday, October | 14, he parked the car as usual, and went to his office. A bit later, he had a strange feeling that he had not locked his car, and, following his pre- monition, went out to attend to the little detail. When he arrived at Lake and Canal streets, he found someone had discovered his error, and had made away with the Buick. Authorities are in search of the car, which was three months old, splendid condition. VOTE NEXT TUESDAY! | Wherever corrupt government pre- vails it will be found that the men in office were elected, not by majorities as they are supposed to be in a demo- cracy, but by a small minority. The "good citizens" who stay at home and fail to vote have elected the worst of- fice holders the country has known. Vote Tuesday! what shopworn--but Hubbard Woods ~ Dependable!

More than twe hundred mothers and teachers attended a Parent-Teach- er meeting held Tuesday afternoon, October 26, at the Hubbard Woods school. Mrs. W. W. Shoemaker, presi- dent of the Hubbard Woods associ- ation reported on the work and aims of the organization. Superintendent Carleton C. W. Washburne then introduced Miss Flora Cook, the speaker of the after- noon, who is head of the Francis Parker school of Chicago. Miss Cook taught Mr. Washburne many years ago, and because of this fact, her talk was especially appealing. The audience felt that many of the ideals of the Winnetka Public school svstem were originally inspired by Miss Cook. Her idea of education is to let the child express himself in vari- ous channels, but he must be left alone to find his own work in an environ- ment rich with opportunities. Social and creative work are stressed and school and home must co-operate in emotional, intellectual and health in- terests of the child. The audience was invited to visit the Frances Parker school to view the work done in the Toy Shop, which Miss Cook called "the acme of social and creative in- spiration." The meeting was adjourned with a delightful, informal tea in the corridor of the school building. VOTERS!
