April 21, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Teachers Gird for Legislative Battle Scheduled for Fall The factional and partisan political strife and the introduction of personal issues and charges by candidates for state and legislative offices have not diverted the teachers of Illinois from the issues and purposes they believe are important to educational progress. Five divisions of the Illinois State Teachers' association hold their meet- ings this spring for two main pur- poses,--the professional improvement of their members and for the discus- sion of legislative measures to improve the schools of Illinois. Four division meetings have been held at Peoria, Springfield, East St. Louis and Carbondale. The Lake Shore division met at Waukegan on April 16. The total enrollment for the spring meetings was about 13,000 mem- bers. Nine .other division meetings next fall will bring the total enroll- ment up to about 35,000. This total membership will be represented by delegates from the divisions to the State meeting in Springfield next De- cember when final plans will be made for the legislative campaign beginning the next month. The four main objectives of the teachers are as follows: . 1. A substantial increase in the State School fund for the purpose of equalizing school taxation for the taxpayers and educational op- portunities for the children of the state; 2. Higher standards of profes- sional service by teachers, attained by the constant improvement of teachers in service and by rais- ing the requirements for certificat- ing beginning teachers; 3. The establishment of larger territorial units for school tax- ation and administration by means of consolidation of small districts, or by adopting a modified county unit, or both; 4. The strict enforcement and administration of the tax laws, or the enactment of new and modern tax laws if our present laws are antiquated and unenforceable. This is the platform the teachers are Conduct Funeral Rites Here for James Perfecto Funeral services for James Perfecto, 880 Willow road, who passed away on April 11 at the Rogers Park hospital following a short illness, were held from the Sacred Heart church on Friday of last week, Rev.

WIN IN TRIBUNE CONTEST Interest has been shown in Winnetka concerning the awarding of prizes by the Chicago Tribune in the Home Harmonious contest. Two homes in the village were chosen, that of Mrs. J. E. Ely, 430 Walnut, receiving the $200 prize and that of Mrs. K. Lindy, 1433 Edgewood lane, $150. discussing and 'advocating at their meetings. It "is" supported also by other strong organizations. In fact, many good people of Illinois believe that these issues are more important to the future welfare of the state and its people than are some of the vague issues raised by the candidates; there- fore, the school people are measuring the candidates by their adherence to this platform rather than by the other issues emphasized by candidates in the nresent political campaign. 51% MONEY Have funds to loan on choice im- proved North Shore Suburban res- idence property at 5% % interest.
