The Timely Record of Community Eventi HUME C. 0. WASSTAFF 'ERWrEMDENT Landscape Architect Chosen by Park District to GiyeJ! vfly Service' to Residents :ili WILMETTE, lLLTirOIS7TnRTOAY;jUNE^ A. SMITH NEW BEACH MANAGER Bathing Beach to Be Under f|g Expert Control c: IX Wagstaff, landscape architect of the North Shore Landscape Archi- tects, has been employed as superin- tendent of the Wilmette Parks for the-coming year. R. N. Melin, also of that firm, has been employed as beach manager. In securing Mr. Wagstaff for this position, the members of the Park board feel that they have secured a man who will be able to render an ex- cellent service to the community through his care and improvement Of the parks. In the pursuit of his studies on this subject Mr. Wagstaff has attended Indiana University and the University of Illinois, having re- ceived a degree in Landscape Archi- tecture from the University of Illinois in 1917. During the war Mr. Wagstaff enlisted in the navy and was held at the Great Lakes NavaTTralnlng staz tion to design and supervise construc- tion of landscape projects. Since then he was affiliated with a large Chicago concern, and later organized the firm of which he is now the head. Free Service to ^ Residents At his suggestion, it has been ar- ranged with Mr. Wagstaff, as a fur- ther service to the village, that any resident desiring information or ad- vice as to lawn treatment, varieties of plant material adapted for differ- ent locations, or any phase of land- scape design, can receive this infor- mation without charge, (if it can be handled through correspondence) by writing to Wm at his office at 1825 Central street, Evanston.

Half of the children who are backward in school studies need such treatment If they are going to have an equal opportunity with their more fortunate mates: Last year in New York City 80,000 children failed to pass the grade tests in the public schools, and a very large percentage of those children had bad teeth. It is costing the City of New York approxi- mately $1,500,000 to re-educate these delinquent children. The same per- centage prevails in Coot county. It is estimated that the proper care of children's teeth can result in a saving of $600,000 to the tax payers of Cook County, besides strengthening the ris- ing generation in general health." _____................ ......, t^*^!*l#4Mfei*W'^l'i,-; „ .

He shot at the National rifle matches at Camp Perry a year ago and made ex- cellent scores. The university rifle team has been undefeated during the past year in matches, with the leading university teams in America. The average for the team in one match was 195 out of a possible 200. B. A. Schroeder has done well with pistol, a regulation Colts automatic 45 used in all work. He recently made the best score in Cavalry Officers' class with Wegforth running a close second. The cavalry officers are generally con- sidered the best pistol marksmen in the university.â€"Schroeder was also on the team winning the brigade pis- tol championship.
