All are invited. • s * j By George Pock On many occasions in this column, we have "viewed with alarm" the shortcomings of our educational system. We havc> deplored the growing tendency on the part of many of our teachers to indoctrinate adolescent minds with radical ideologies and have pointed out this is partly due to the fact that in many of our states, teachers are no obliged to take the oath of allegiance. It is therefore most refreshing to have stumbled over a school to which we can "point with pride" as a shining example of how all grammar schools should be conducted. Indirectly we learned that Miss Elsie R. Kane, principal of Public School No. 241 in Brooklyn, New York, has been aWarda medal by the Dan Tallon Post No. 678 of the American Legion for outstanding contribution to Americanism during the school year just ended. This sounded interesting, so we journeed to Brooklyn to see this lady to find out just how she had achieved this great honor. We found Miss Kane in charge of a grammar school with 1,600 pupils, approximately forty per cent of whom are either foreign-born ;or of foreign-born parentage. Miss Kane at once with becoming modesty, advised us that the honor confered upon her, belonged not to her but to the loyal staff of teachers under her direction and that in accepting 'it, she had only done so by publicly nnouncing, her acceptance on behalf of the entire staff. We will not question Miss Kane's humility. As a matter of fact, we adjmire it. However, it is only fair to say that subsequent investigation revealed that while this lady has surrounded herself with a loyal staff, she is the spear-head--the driving force %hich has engendered this loyalty. You can rest assured that P. S. No. 241 of Brooklyn is not a training place for "Fifth-Columnists," that is an institution where boys and girls and their parents through them are being taught to love America, to appreciate the sacrifices made by our Founding Fathers, and to respect and revere our government, OUT institutions and our concepts. How is Miss Kane accomplishing this? By here let her herself tell you and in her own words. Here is what she told us : * If we accept the proposition that the public school is an institution which society'has developed and maintains to promote the welfare of society itself and to perpetuate its ideals, then it becomes very clear that the public school has a very definite responsibility and obligation to interpret the democratic ideal under which we five to alT pupiT.s to give them an intelligent understanding of their peace-time obligations to the city, state and country, to instill a thorough comprehension of the theory of representative government, f to teach that democracy is the wav of life, that it has its "credo" which it is • 1 4 ; t% af Tnm Am TWENTY YEARS AGO Stakes for the new home to be erected by Fred Heumann on his lot on Water street, recently acquired of, Mrs. Anna Bishop, have been driven, giving evidence that building operations will begin soon.

Strictly speaking, a silhouette picture consists only of black-andwhite-- a black subject against a pure white background, with all detail eliminated. There's no need, however, to draw the line so sharply In our picture-taking. For example, observe the picture fcbove There's a certain amount of detail retained in the water, and this helps make the picture even more Interesting. Here's how the shot was taken First, tjie photographer stood at point where the sun was squarely behind the tree in the foreground. The purpose of this was to keep the sun from shining into tbe lens, for that would have spoiled the picture. Next, the photographer set his lens and shutter for less than normal exposure. Since the time was late afternoon, the full normal exposure would have been perhaps 1/25 second at f/8. In this case, the exposure was probably 1/100 second at f/11 or f/16. A snapshdt exposure at this hour, using the second stop opening on a box camera, and average speed film, would also have been just about right for the silhouette effect. The effect of underexposure, in these shots, is to "black out" shadow detail so that you get a good strong silhouette. Naturally, a subject such as a person should usually be posed In profile; then the outline of the features wlU : show clearly. In taking silhouette pictures, remember always to choose an hour when the' sun Is fairly low .In the sky, have the sun squarely behind the subject or some object in the scene, and give less than normal exposure. Follow these rules, aftd you'll get good clear silhouette snaps that will add interest to yoi^r album. ^ John van Guilder GUARDIAN'S SALE STATE OF ILLINOIS, County of McHenry, ss.
