The need which prompted the appointment of this committee and was in_ the ·minds of -the n1embers of the commtttee throughout the discussions and conclusions was the need of maintainin(T and amplifying the religious life of every person in \Vinnetka, especially in the northwest. southwest. and southeast ections of the \'illage. It was felt bv the membership of the church that the need of being ministered to had far outrun the service that the church was rendering. ~!any who would like to ~ttend re~tlarly the meetings at the church edtfice on Lmcoln avenue could not do so becau ~ e of the difficulties attendant upon getting there. These difficulties were almost insuperable in the case of the old. feeble. and very young. The answer to the question, "How meet this need?" brought forth the answer: Build branch schools anrl community projects in these outlying section ~ . By so doing the church ~ill be able to mini ter to the entire commumty.

One of the best ways of helping our children is providing· them with incentives to do their best in school. The late Henrv P.
