The main , thing, in successfully

to create home consumption. Take

to export prunes and if the fellow

money nor the inclination to buy
we are helpless.! ; ?
As I hare mentioned before,
walnuts are' eaten and used by
99 of the American population.
As a young man. years- before I
ever got interested in walnut cul
ture. I often attended ; Christmas
cervices In ? the churches. - While
there, I have seen thousands ot
packages given j away containing
candy, filberts. peanuts, pecans,
walnuts and other nuts, but never
have I seen such a package con
taining prunes, j M'

tons to the acre. . That Is a very

grower 'in Douglas-, county who got
four tons a year for five years
20 tons a year from 5 acres; or
a round 100 tons of dried prunes
from - his five acres In the j five
years.?; But there are ' very few
growers getting year : after year
more dried prunes to the acre
than Mr. Trunk markets. Mr.
Trunk told a, Salem friend lately
that, whenr' her f frst began work
on his farm, eyery "walnut grower
In that section whb also raised
prunes spoke, 'of .' himself as a
prune grower never as a "walnut

was considered. "queer." i But this

WINNETKA. 111.. Nov. 8. Pu
pils dojn't "la;r any more in the
public schools of Winnetka. It is
not that these school children are
different, but because the Winnet
ka Board of Education has
"thrown off the shackles of the
old class lock-step system" and
has provided every child with in
dividual instruction,, according to
Carleton W. Washburne, superin
tendent of schools. ,
I Reputed to be the 'first com
plete example ot individual in
struction In public schools." Win
netka' experiment already has
gained! 1 wide - attention. "Last
year ajone," Mr. Washburne said,
'the Winnetka schools were visit
ed by hundreds of visitors from
all part of the United States and
from-' Australia. New Zealand. Ja
pan, Sweden, England and Bel
gium. - '
! "This widespread interest." tha
superintendent continued, "showt
a general awakening to the evils
of class lock-step and to the need
for individual instruction. Fur
four years we have been working
out' the technique of individual
instruction in the public school
of Wfniietka. While our work t
still' cifude !n many ways, we have
demonstrated beyond question
that , if5 !s possible for a public
school' system to give lndividnai
instruction and individual promo
tions without changing the size of
classes' and increasing the number
of teachers.
" "Tlie' general value of Individ
oal instruction already has been
demonstrated by Burk at the San
FTanc&cd State Teachers College
Sutherland of the Los Angelea
Public Schools, by .Horn In low,
and" By! Court! i in Detroit. : Jessli
Mficlifnder in London has shown
the possibility of putting Individ-?
Uai instruction in large city-school
classes even with five and six
year old children. "
"Alli of these experiments' have
shown J that Individual -Instruction
eliminates failures and grade rep
etition j that It stimulates child
ren's Interest In school, that' It
ttrengthens their Initiative, sense
Of responsibility and self-expressive
activities, more than is possi
ble under the 'Old class lock-step
system."
, The Winnetka Public Schools
are ; operated, upon an , Individual
systom which permits each child
to progress at his i own . " natural
rate, not forced -too rapidly by
those who are quicker, nor held
back by those. who are slower;
Promotion Is by subjects. A
child may be promoted In reading
at one time, for Instance, and in
arithmetic' , at quite another. Pro

characteristic of our people - and
it serves to point out the lesson
