EDUCATIONAL TOUR
YOU WILL BE GLAD TO HEAR THAT ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE BY THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL SYSTEM FOR AN EDUCATIONAL TOUR OF CHICAGO FOR THE PURPOSE OF GIVING THE BOYS AND GIRLS A CHANCE TO SEE WITH THEIR OWN EYES, the many things which they read about in their text books. For example---they will visit the well known Chicago Stock Yards and will spend more than an hour in viewing the various processes of the meat packing industry.---
Even though the boys and girls have been in Chicago a number of times, this trip will be worth while for them because their attention will be called to points of particular educational interest which they may not have observed during previous visits, because each group will be rigidly supervised by a teacher and because the groups will be personally conducted.
---
The tour is to take place on Saturday, January 23d. A special train will leave the Illinois Central station at 6:00 o'clock in the morning on that date. Only one or two stops will be made along the line to pick up other school children. Returning Leave Chicago the same evening at 6:15 P.M. arriving Springfield by 10:00 o'clock.
Each group of sixteen or less boys and girls will be accompanied by their teacher who will remain with them during the entire trip. Parents also may go along if they so desire.
--School buses will be used for traveling about the city of Chicago. We will pay visits of inspection to the following places in Chicago: The Stock Yards, the famous Marshall Field Department Store, the new Union Station, the Lincoln Park Zoo, the Field Museum, and the Shedd Aquarium. Enroute to these places we will have a chance to view the artistically constructed buildings for the 1933 World's Fair; the celebrated Chicago "Loop" with its towering skyscrapers; the beautiful buildings of the University of Chicago on the Midway; the remodeled Fine Arts Building of 1893 World's Fair with its imposing Grecian style; the Merchandise Mart; the Tribune Tower; the tall buildings on the Chicago campus of Northern western University; and the many, many other places which make Chicago famous.
A noon-day luncheon will be served for us in one of the beautiful dining rooms on the seventh floor of the Marshall Field Store. We will have a fine box supper on the train immediately after we leave Chicago in the evening.
Because the part will be composed of large groups of parents, teachers and children, very low rates have been obtained. The total cost for all expenses including the railroad fare to Chicago and back, the two excellent meals, and all the sight-seeing, in fact, everything--will be only $4.50 for children and under twelve years of age and $6.25 for those twelve and older and for the parents and friends of the children.
Reservations are to be made at the schools and must be made far in advance because the size of the party will be limited. children should pay their teacher or principal at once and they will be given tickets as evidence of their reservation. If, due to some unforeseen reason, it becomes necessary to cancel the reservation before the time of departure, a refund will be made of the full amount.
Please remember that each group of children will be accompanied by a teacher. Many parents will go alone with the group. These educational trips have won much favor in various parts of the State and are highly recommended by educators everywhere. The children should take advantage of the opportunity presented.
