ALBERT H» BOWMAN, Managing Editor ARTHUR ROBERTS, Associate Editor JAMBS LEONARD LEE, City Editor SO AT SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, $1.00 A TEAR, All matter for publication in any weok'a issue snould reach our office not aitar than noon on Monday. 5B55B5 Entered aa seoond-class matter June 28, 1011, at tha poatoffloa at Bvans- ton, Illinois, under the Act of March 8, 1870. WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1912. The lake shore, from Rogers Park north to Glencoe, is surprisingly well represented in the number of names which appear in the pages of the 1912-1913 edition of "Who's Who in America/' According to the average per population prevailing over the entire country, this ^j|; > territory, which boasts of only some 50,000 population, should have f^g?. about ten times that number. If any additional proof was wanted to 1 IE **ne effect that the towns along the north shore are composed of the I fc ^ very highest class of people in the world, this issue of "Who's Who" I 1 ^ would be conclusive. / I jgr* The accident on Lake Michigan Sunday, when a young book I p ' store manager came near being the innocent cause of the death of | p two university students, is one more argument for the close police ■ :. supervision of the lake front. Boys and young men, unless they are | I' known to be competent boatmen and swimmers should, under no cir- I | cumstances, be permitted to go onto the lake from north shore beaches. | |t f It is true that Lake Michigan is a souace of great beauty and attrac- I |r ; tiveness to all of us, but it is equally true that it is the source of great i:;}§£*'and grave danger, a constant menace tq the lives of the foolhardy, the careless, and the unwary. In fa.pt, experienced people have not been lacking among those who have lost their lives both by boating acci- % dent% and swimming fatalities. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ , Evanston rejoices in the kind of student celebrations witnessed Saturday evening on Davis street. The two successive victories at baseball over Purdue and Indiana in two successive days gave not ■only the students an opportunity to rejoice but also all Evanston, for our citizens generally take a pride in the university and like to see it turning out winning teams. The Saturday evening demonstration was of the kind that every student community may welcome. There was none of the rowdiness or destruction of property which in some places follows a victory but instead a long line of fine, stalwart young ^fellows, and another of charming young girls, and with the natural ; spirits of youth they shouted and sung their victory. It did us all : good to see them, and to hea* them. The person who could not enjoy and relish such a spectacle must be a dried up old codger, who ought to retreat to a hermit's cell and stay there the rest of his days. ♦ *> <8» ^ ♦ The fact that citizens of Wilmette'and the "other towns along the lake shore approve of our endeavors to give to them a news- paper that is practically their own, is best indicated by the manner in which they are subscribing for The Lake Shore News "The proof of the pudding is the eating thereof," is an old saying, and it appears that the appetites of the north shore people have not been satisfied with the journalistic pudding that has been served to them heretofore. Subscriptions are coming to us at the rate of thirty to forty a day, which will soon enable us to guarantee to the advertisers m Wilmette and the other towns which this paper is intended to cover, a paid circulation large enough and repre- sentative enough to command their respect and merit their patronage of our advertising columns. The Lake Shore News does not do things by halves. It has no intention of inveighing the merchants of ; the towns where it circulates to sign contracts for advertising and tnen give them a circulation in name only. We are in a position now to guarantee to the Wilmette business n\en a circulation of several hundred paid-in-advance subscribers, and by the middle of June expect to put that guaranteed figure at 1,000 copied going regularly *ach week *£ paid-in-advance subscribers. As soon as the canvass is, finished in Wilmette, the circulation department will move its head- quarters farther north, and will then work Kenilworth, Winnetka and Glencoe in the same way Wilmette is now being canvassed. We want particularly to emphasize the fact that The Lake Shore News proposes to improve its news features from week to week, and that there will not at any time, be any backsliding in this feature of the publication. Our purpose is to help and assist the communities in which we circulate, and the editors will welcome communications and Jtuggestions from all who are enough interested in their home towns and the newspaper which strives to serve them to take the trouble to , address us. ♦ * ♦ ♦ ♦ A T-A-F-T L*A lAil^ld m.,an,returne<* from t*» West said.- "I have just found 12»W&J^wi" ^"S1?

CUMNOCK GAVE READING The annual commencement exercis- es of the School of Oratory were held Thursday at Annie May Swift hall, and marked the conclusion of a year which reflects unparalleled credit both on the new graduates and their vener- able instructor, Dr. Cumnock. A class of sixty received diplomas, and besides these there were ten post graduates who completed the advance course. The Rev. George Craig Stewart op- ened the program with a short prayer and the audience was then treated to classical selections by the Evanston or- chestra, which, by the way, made e reputation on this, its initial appoar- ance. The mjor part of the program was rendered by Dr. Cumnock him self, who took advantage of the anni- versary of Dickens' birth to read strik- ing passages from "Nicholas Nicklo- by" and others from that author's vorka. The presentation of diplomas by the dean concluded the ceremonies. Beat Known In West. In pacing, it might be noted that the oratory school has come to be more widely known than any other in the middle west and her graduates are filling positions on Chautauqua platforms and in secondary schools of instruction throughout the countiy with credit to themselves and to their alma mater.
