WINNETKA W EEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1919 | emcee Winnetka School Problems [22] « OE) (04 The following questions concerning .school problems were received last week, and are answered by Superin- | tendent Washburne: Q.--Is it true that there was a pupils' strike at the Skokie school in October A--I am glad this question has been asked, since a good deal of evxaggerated rumor has gone around in regard to the so-called "strike". The exact facts are these: On the morning of October 13 when the bell rang for the opening of school at Skokie a group of upper- grade children remained outside and said they were on strike for a holi- day, since other schools were closed and banks were closed. Miss Glenna Griffith, principal of the school, told the children to come inside and dis- cuss the matter. They did. She pointed out to them the dangers of radical agitation in labor unions, and showed them that they must stand for a higher type of citizenship. She suggested a petition to the Superin- tendent of Schools as the proper and orderly way to obtain anything that was right. The children got up such petition and elected delegates to present it to me. When they came I called their attention to the fact that none of the other schools along the north shore were having a holi- day; that Columbus Day was hot a legal school holiday, and that neither Miss Griffith nor I had it in our power to decree an extra holiday, this being a function of the Board of Education. I likewise read to them the compul- sory attendance section of the school law, showing them that they sub- jected their parents to fine if they re- mained out of school while school: was in session, and submitted them- selves to arrest by the truant officer. As an appreciation, however, of the fact that they had abandoned their first idea of striking, and had chosen a more proper form of procedure. 1 offered to dismiss school an hour early that afternoon. 1 sent a letter to this effect back to the Skokie children by their delegates, and there was general satisfaction on all sides. Miss Griffith, as teacher of history and cives as well as principal, made use of these events and spent most of the morning in discussion of the civic issues involved. She gave the children a great deal of freedom in their discussion and the morning was not one of the usual orderly class- room procedure. It was, however, rich in educational value to the chil- ) CO () EO Proclamation the President of the United States of America { Whereas, by the Act of Congress | approved March 3, 1919, the Four- teenth Decennial Census of the Unit- ed States is to be taken beginning on the second day of January, 1920; and Whereas, a correct enumeration of the population every ten years is required by the Constitution of the United States icr the purpose of de- termining the representation of the several states in tlie House of Rep- resentatives; and Whereas, it is of the utmost im- portance to the interests of all the people of the United States that this Census should be a complete and ac- curate report of the population and resources of the nation; Now, thereiore, I, Woodrow Wil- son, President of the United States of America, do hereby declare and make known that, under the law aforesaid, it is the duty of every per- son to answer all questions on the census schedule applying to him and the family to which he belongs, and to the farm occupied by him or his family, and that any person refusing to do so is subject to penalty. The sole purpose of the Census is to secure general statistical infor- mation regarding the population and resources of the country and replies are required from individuals only to permit the compilation of such gen- eral statistics. No person can be harmed in any way by furnishing the information, required. The Census has nothing to do with taxation, with military or jury service, with the compulsion of school attendance, with the regulation of immigration or with the enforcement of any na- tional, state or local law or ordi- nance. There need be no fear that any disclosure will be made regard- ing anv individual person or his af- fairs. For the due protection of the rights and interests of the persons furnishing information every em- ploye of the Census Bureau is pro- hibited, under heavy penalty, from disclosing any information which may thus come to his knowledge. 1 therefore earnestly urge upon all persons to answer promptly, com- pletely and accurately all inquiries addressed to them by the enumer- ators or other employes of the Cen- sus Bureap and thereby to contribute their share toward making this great and necessary public undertaking a success. In Witness Whereof I have here- unto set my hand and caused the seal dren. I consider Miss Griffith's hand- ling of the situation unusually suc-' cessful. l Q.--Are the children who take; domestic science really learning any- thing, or are they just cooking| lunches for the teachers and other| children? | A.--There is a very fully worked] out course of study in the domestic | science department. There is a cer-| tain group of things which every pu-| pil must learn to make well, and a| certain group of facts foods and cooking which every pu- pil must know. The ideal way to teach this ability and these facts is to give the children real problems in cooking, cooking in quantities large enough to be applicable to the . home, and cooking for other people to eat. The main purpose of the school lunches served in the domestic s¢ience room is their educational value for those who are doing the cooking. fulness in providing noon for those children who cannot go home at noon and for a few o the teachers who 'stay through the noon period. The planning of the meals, the buying of the food, the cooking, serving, are all of them part of the training of the children. Unless domestic science in elementary schools © is distinctly practical and really trains the girls to handle practical house- hold problems, it fails, to serve its purpose. : SUBSCRIBE NOW concern/ng | They are an incidental use- hot meals at| and clearing. up,| of the United States to be affixed.

Magill on Sunday at the Wilmette Presbyterian church, the pastor has consented to continue the discussion on Sunday morning, De- cember 14. The subject is: "The Relation of Present Day Conditions to Spiritual- ism and Real Religion. What will be the outcome?" Judging from the ac- counts in the daily press and numer- ous magazine articles this is a most timely discussion. Many residents of the Village will be glad to hear the argument and conclusions.
