DOES YOUR BOY WANT TO GO TO WORK?

Special Correspondence TO The Press
FREEPORT. ILL.,, Aug. 5.-What
to do with our boys? This city
has hit on a solution.
It's an anxious time for boys
the time they are graduating from
the eighth grade-from the gram
mar schools. They want to go to
work and earn money, to get a
job. Maybe they are little tired
of school. Perhaps the family
could use the extra money. too.
They are at the age at which the
law allows them to go to work.
Statistics showed that smaller
and smaller number of boys were
entering high school from the
eighth grade Also that they
dropped out steadily during the
four years, so that there was only
a handful left by comparison OH
graduation day.
These things had worried Free
port people, who took an active
interest in Freeport boys. At last
Herbert Shearer, member of the
citizens commercial association,
suggested a solution.
Here is Shearer's solution-and
Freeport's:

factory, the next at high school,
running alternately through the
schol year. They get credit for
