a Chicago club is advocating novel
plan for overcoming vandalism among
boys II has been estimated that it cost
the city over $4,000 to replace windows
broken in the school houses of Chicago
during the summer vacation by boys. II
is estimated that this mischief is done by
boys who generally need the attention Of
the compulsory education department dur
ing school months and who, during the
summer, free from this restraint. commit
ali sorts of depredatons The club women
have suggested that these boys, together
with all the boys of the school, be organ
lied into brigades with elected officers for
the protection of the school and school
proDerty The officers will be responsible
to the school principals for the preserva-
ton of school property. and will report TO
them at regular intervals. 1t is thought
that this plan will not only afford effective
protection to school property, but will de-
velop a civic pride among tho boys that
will bear other fruits 1t has been sue-
gested that the organizations he called
civic pride brigades. This same plan,
though on a smaller scale. has been prac-
ticed in several Omaha schools for num-
her of years and with excellent results.
Usually the boys of the seventh grade have
served as chiefs of lookout committees that
have included all the other boys of the
school. They have not only guarded the
building. but the flower beds and the grass
plots in the school yards as well.
