a - WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1925 PUBLIC FORUM Eprror's Note: Some misunderstand- mg has arisen as a result of the account of a police case appearing in last week's issue of WINNETKA TALK and in which was recorded the arrest of several New Trier High school students and their subsequent appearance before the local police magistrate. Frederick E. Clerk, superintendent of the high school, offers an explanation of the incident in the ac- companying which WINNETKA TALK, in adherence to its policy of fairness, is glad to present to its readers. May 19, 1925. My attention has been drawn to an article in 'WINNETKA TALK concerning the conduct of eight New Trier High school students who were apprehended by the Winnetka police department in a cooperative effort on the part of the Winnetka Police and the school author- ities to control automobile traffic in and around the high school grounds. The police department responded to a call from me on account of a car driven by one of our boys who had been denied the privilege of bringing his car to school on account of a charge of reckless driv- ing. This procedure is in accord with the practice followed at the high school with all cars that violate any of the restrictions placed upon the use of auto- mobiles by students. States School Rule Cars driven to school by students have to be registered at the school and must comply with the reasonable restrictions placed upon their use. When owners of automobiles fail to comply with these regulations the cars are black-listed. In this instance a student drove a black- listed car and parked it in the school grounds. This was a violation of the spirit of the regulation governing the use of automobiles, to which regulation the pupil had previously agreed to sub- mit. Under these circumstances the automobile was referred to the police de- partment. When the police officer rve- sponded he found the automobile parked within a block of the school and sur- rounded by a number of high school boys. The, officer did not know all of the cir- cumstances involved and in order to be and the automobile to the police station.' In the meantime the officer had learned that the license on this automobile was a fictitious license and did not belong to that car. The owner of the automobile was arrested on this charge and fined. The other boys were charged with dis- orderly conduct for congregating in front of a man's house, and, according to the officer, engaging in noisy con- versation. Boys Not Malicious When I was notified that these boys were at the police station I went there immediately and identified some of the boys as the most reliable students in the school and told the judge who was pre- siding that I would be responsible for them since I was sure that if they were engaged in any conduct that was disturh- ing the neighborhood where they were gathered it was really unintentional ard not in any sense malicious. The boys were then put in my charge and I brought them back to school. Knowing some of these boys as well as I do I am pre- pared to say that it is a rather liberal interpretation of the charge to say that they were guilty of disorderly conduct. Praise for Police In this connection I want to say a icommendatory word concerning the Winnetka police department. Through the efforts of ¢he Winnetka police the automobile situation around New Trier High school has improved 100 per cent during the last year. in need of police assistance we get it immediately and we get it effectively. School patrons generally do not realize the traffic danger that exists in the neighborhood of a large school where automobiles are passing and students are being dismissed, large numbers at once.
