Many vaudeville performances are diverting. Artists' recitals are evidence of the heights to which individual skill can rise. A Boon to the Plays and operas are North Sfaore all right in their way. But for all-round profit we know ·of no public presentation that can equal an orchestra concert. North ·Shore· communities are exceptionally fortunate in hearing' each year programs by G~~rge Dasch and his exc.ellent musicians. ·: Himself an instrumentalist of high rank, and a director, able; to inspire others with his admirable knowledge and feeling, he has assembled a group of players well fitted by nature and experience to form a most competent orchestra. To have the opportunity of hearing their programs in a hall so conveniently located is an exceptional privilege. Mr. Dasch and his men do not Moreover, offer music that is merely frothy and frivi) ... ous, but compositions of the more serious sort, thus providing that educational element without which such concerts would be only amusements. Serious elements furnish · the foundation and strong framework which make it possible for human beings to meet life's tragedies more effectively. One of the n1ost enjoyable prospects is that of the return, of. the Little Symphony orchestra next fall. . .. ·one is so· dull or so reactionary .as· to question the value and pressing. need ~f separating the railroad and street grades 1n all our North Shore communities.

It is the duty <!f our officials to make thts iaear·become a reality as soon as p~ssible. And . this is just what our respective authbtities are doing. They have realized for several .yea~s past that the need of separation is a crying need. They have held meetings locally, with r~presenta~ives of o~her communities and w1th the ratlr. oad offictals. The problem~ involved are not sil!'ple. Some communities want grade depresston. Others are not so insistent. The distribution of .costs demands most careful consideration. Inasmuch as the expense will doubtless be immense, plans must be laboriously worked out . . . : : . · . Some . months ago a Grade Separat~on Committee, consisting of village offictals from all the towns from Wilmette to Glencoe inclusive· , was appointed. · Recently this larger committee appointed !1 speci~l committee of three, represent1ng W tlmette, Winnetka, and Glencoe. We may justly e~ pect satisfactory action on the part of thts special committee, comp?sed as. i~ is of three men of proved executive abthty-W. D.

De.a th and taxes are very similar in at least two respects. Both are unpleasant, and both are unescapable. Death has one advantage. It comes only once. Taxes come every year. And not only one tax, but three at least. Death and Real estate, personal, and income. Taxes The worst of the three is the income tax. The other two are full of MUST'S and PENALTIES. But in addition to these unpleasant features the income tax requires distasteful tabula·tions of items that are nobody's business but your own.

Eight of the largest colleges in the east, including Yale, Harvard, Smith, and Williams, and NorthL ---ld western, Michigan, Why SJWK n't Wisconsin, and IlliW e Be Ptoud? nois in the west, have testified to the excellence of this record. We have unusual reason to be proud, because this testimony appJies not to a few but to several hundred New Trier graduates now in attendance at these schools of higher learning. We suppose that much of this excellence is due to inheritance and home environment, but it seems probable to us that the deciding factor has been the schools. Too much credit cannot be given to the work which they did under skilled and interested teachers at the high school, the last work' they did before going to college. Do we realize sufficiently how fortunate we are in our surroundings, at home and in school? There are thousands of places where we might be living, but, as the real estate ads have it, there's only one North Shore.
