Utilizes its $5O,OOO,OO0 Equip

THE PLAN WINS SUPPORT.
City Gets 5000 Hours a Year
Good Out of It's Buildings
Instead of Usual 1000.
BY DR.. J. 3. McFATRicH.
President Chicago Board of Educ alton.

We have 5O,000.000 worth OF school
property In Chicago. The buildings
are used 1000 hours a year. they
should be used 5000 hours a year.
IL they belonged TO a big business Ell.
terprise they would be used all the
time. and because they belong to the
public they should not be kept closed
the greater part OF the year.
Now we are going to allow the peo-
pie TO use their school buildings for
wholesome amusement purposes any
night they desire. Light and heat
will be provided free. Dances will
be held two or three times a week.
We want to see the schools made
social centers and the property put
to the best public advantage for the
education and pleasure of the com
munity, The children are TO have
what they want They may do any
thing they please that does not violate
the law. They may get up any sort
oI entertainment they wish--dances,
theatricals, debates-and. in addition,
the board of education will provide
moving pictures, stereopticon lee
lures, informal talks, and things that
will interest parents as well as chill
dren.
| believe that the school dances will
kill the business of the dance halls.
especially the questionable dance hall
that ruins so many of our girls and
boys who have had no other place to
go for an evenings entertainment.
The school dances and entertainments
will give these young people clean,
decent substitute for the dance hall;
take them off the streets at night,
and keep them from the questionable
picture shows.
Last year we tried the experiment
in two schools. and met with great
SUCCESS. This winter IL buildings will
be opened, with more to follow. While
there will be two-steps and waltzes
for the young people who demand
them, an effort will be made to intro
duce folk dances, which are really
very beautiful and entirely harmless;
also they promote greater degree
of sociability.t
But we are not setting out to reform
the children. We are going to let
them have good time, in a decent,
respectable manner, in their own way.

Mr. Mack read his address from

said in part:
Consideration of the Sherman anti

that the average business man en-

been maintaining that the Sherman

prise. We find ourselves In the latter
condition today.
The offense complained OF Is but
the outgrowth OF the fostering and
the encouragement OF special tariff
privileges granted by each succeed
ing Republican administration. The
chief feature OF the tariff offense lies
in the administration reputation OF
it's campaign pledge OF 1908 for a
tariff revision. An oppressive tariff
has done more to stife competition
than any one thing and If the presi-
dcnt'c desire is to restore unrestricted
competition he should have started
with a reduction of the tariff subsidies
and kept the pledges promised in the
Chicago platform and originally pro
