State 6326 Ttlcopltone St"D~CRIPTIO~ that certain schools in their subject matter and methods should make a more intimate mixture of the theoretical and the practical. It is plea~ant to record the fact that the Packard ~[otor company " ·illingly agreed to remove frotn its present po sition a certain objectionable sig n C ommendable · hoa rd, at the request of Cooperation the \\' innetka council and the H u b h a r d \Voods Improvement association. Such ability to , ee the other side of a situation and such willingness to· co-operate for the ·good of the communit,- shuuld receire e~wcial commendation.

Although heralded by haberdashers, flori sts , and confectioners, . it came upon Dad's Day us as somewhat of a sur/ s Gone J prise, which accounts for the sad fact that the day passed us unnoticed and uncelehrated. \\'ho or what organization \\·as it that named this daY of rune Dad's Da,· ? \\'e can't say hut G-tn only remark that the mid day of the m'onth is as suitahl~as any other day. perhaps a little more suitable. inasmuch as on that da,· Dad usualh· adds the hill s and makes out as 1~1any ch~·rks as his slim hank account will allo\\·.

The bald truth is that Dad doesn't yearn to be remembered in any special w ~ty or place. Ju t think of him e\'ery day of the year in a general way and he'll be atisfied. ( )ur il'llo\\· north shoresman, Can·,· Orr \\ .ilm<:ttc. cuntrilmted to the Cl;icag-u Tribune ui June 12 an interesting cartoon. which he chooses to "The End of a call "The End of a Lung Climb." It shows Long Clitnb" a huge pile of book , reaching- aho\·e the clouds and on the uppermost uf these books a . college graduate dancing gayly toward the precari us edge, exclaiming as he goes, "Thank Goodness, that's on.·r !" Far. f.ar below him is the all-too- .. ulid rarth, where are lyincr n1embers · b . of last year\ class , one of whom warns the conlident and callow Youth about to take the next step: "Look ot;t for that next stcp~ he\ a big one!" · l t ·s a mean ingi ul ca rto1 m, emphasizing the r()mmun fact that the 16 Year~ of book learning- t;tke the human Yuuth farther and farther _away from t.h e ~rdinary practical le,·eb· c1t eYerY-da,· liic; and that in order tu gd hack tu. earth he must experience an embarras~ing and painful shock. The cartnun suggests se,·eral thought~. One is that at ~(JJl1l' time in his long school career the youth ~lwnld haYc the experience of holding d(J\\'ll a juh fur se,·eral month~ or a year. pussibly just after graduation from high school. .\nothcr thought is that in progressi\'e schools students keep in touch with mundane atJairs throughout their course. Another and final thought is ( ,f Fit the Filosop her ri ses to r emark: "Thi s L the time ,,·hen all good high ~chool graduate · star t out to reform the world." Smiling Ruth \\·ho sits at another de sk ha it figured out that "when one gets something for nothing, he kick s if it does n't su it, but ii he doe.:.n·t get ~o m e thing for nothing, he's pccYcd lJeCaLbl' he gds ncJ chance to kick." 1t's sure hard to :-.ati~fy folks. I see by the papers that our Chicago police com· missioner has "put the stopper" on a play called "Harlem." Wonder what he'd do if someone put on "Cicero."
