COMMUNITY CHET - GUCCESGFUL PLAN Cities Adopt System for Com- munity Promotion Springfield, I11.--The efficient or- ganization of social agencies is a com- munity problem the success of which is measured solely by an enthusiastic and, as nearly as is humanly possible, unanimous co-operative spirit. It can be done, and as a matter of fact has been accomplished in Cleveland, De- troit and Cincinnati. In those cities it was accomplished by a federation or unification of activities. A central council or administrative bedy is formed, the extent of activities agreed upon, and the sum total fixed that will be necessary to successfully fi- nance the project for a given period. Welfare Chest Elgin and Peoria have undertaken to provide one community welfare chest. Principal Allison of the Peoria Community High school in a recent report stated: "Perhaps the most ef-| fective means of safeguarding the health of the entire student body 'would be by the establishing of a sys- tem whereby a careful check could be maintained upon the physical condi- tion of each pupil. This would mean the employment of a school nurse or the appointment of a health officer for the school. Children suffering from malnutrition or other ailments, many of which are remedial, are back- ward in their studies and are denied an opportunity that their more fortu- nate neighbors enjoy. "That is a mat- ter which can be solved by the com- munity council." Proportionate Giving The Aurora Beacon-News says: "Plans for one community endeavor chest in Aurora are being revived. The plan is one by which all the con- tributions a person makes in a year go into tlie one chest with the pro- 'portion stated which the giver wishes .to go to the various endeavors. Thus if he wishes the Salvation Army to get a tenth of what he gives, the Com- munity Welfare Association a fourth, the Juvenile Protective Association a third, a church organization a fourth and so on, he will so stipulate on his pledge card and his wishes will be car- ried out. In other words, whatever percentage of his contribution he wish- es to go to a given cause will go there.) If he prefers to give all to a general fund which will be distributed by a| board to the various causes he will] so state on his pledge card. With one | community chest there would be but one drive for funds." The plan here outlined. is well worthy of consideration as the basis for settlement of vital community problems and has been seriously un- dertaken by but very few communities iin Illinois.

NEW TRIER TANKERS TO OPPOSE EASTERN HIGH, New Trier high school will stage a swimming meet with Allegheney high school of Pittsburgh, Pa., east- ern interscholastic champions, in the Indian Hill's school pool some time in March, according to an announcement made this week by E. B. Jackson, tank mentor at the suburban school. Other meets in Chicago for the visit- ing swimmers are considered probable by Coach Jackson, who said the Pitts- burgh authorities would like to have their team meet other representative middle-western rank aggregations. In response, the coach suggested meets with Hyde Park and Harrison, senior and junior division champions of the Public Schools Athletic league, and with Culver Military Academy, which vanquishes Chicago's and suburban swimming teams with a high degree of regularity. Allegheny high school has a team of fine swimmers, according to reports from the East, and is the strongest contender for the 1922 eastern title. School of Journalism To Award Graduate Degree The Medill School of Journalism of Northwestern University will award the graduate degree of Master of Science next year, according to an announcement made yesterday by H. F. Harrington, director of the school. It will be conferred on students hold- ing the Bachelor of Arts degree from Northwestern University or of an- other institution of accepted grade. A candidate for the master's degree must present graduate credit amount- ing to twenty-six semester hours in approved courses. At least one-half of this credit shall be for work in Journalism; the remainder may be chosen from the departments of Eng- lish. Economics or Commerce, Polit- ical Science, History or Psychology, but purely elementary courses in any department may not be presented. A candidate for the Master of Science degree must present twenty- six semester hours graduate credit from a university or college, half of which must be in journalism.
