Welich Was that Johnson Girl Is Good House-- keeper and Cook. Helen Johnson, aged 16. does not need to attend the school for voca-- tional education. Her father, Wil-- Ham Johnson, Waukegan taxicab owner, was acquitted in county court by a jury of charges of failure to send the girl to school. Atty. James G. Welich made a stirr-- ing plea' for the @tquittal of Johnson on the contention that the girl hay-- ing graduated from the eighth grade was recelving a practicar eduvation in her home along the same lines that she would take up in the con-- tinuation school. According to a new state law she would be required to attend the part time school until she passed her 17th birthday. Atty. Welich pointing to the girl declared: "Helen is sitting in this courtroom clad in a dress she made with her own hands. She kept house for her father and took care of her mother while the latter was 111. The doctor has testified that on account of her physical condition she would be unable to participate in athletic training in school. Are you men go-- ing to sa'y, under these circumstances, that this girl !s not receiving train-- ing that will At her for womanhood and the duties of a good housewife?" Atty. Welich daclared | that -- there were too many: technical laws on the statute books which invade home life today. o -- School authorities brought the suit in justice court recently and Jdohnson was fined $25, but took the appeal to the county court without argument in the case in the lower court. . . This' was regarded as a most im-- portant cage because it is the Arst of the kind to be contested in Lake county. _ NA HIRF _4 Mr. and Mrs. F. F.
