unhesitatingly commend the idea to you
as worthy of most serious consideration.
Not only were the children given most most
useful and valuable training In civic
lines, but the direct effects of the sys-
TEN were evidenced by an Increase in the
amount and quality of the work done by
the students. and In very great i'm.
provement in their mental and physical
discipline. l believe the idea suggested
by Mr.. Gill is worthy Of careful con-
sideration and I take great pleasure In in
viting your attention to It,
The resolution which Mr.. Gill will oner
and ask the congress to support Is that
since the training of children in the priv1-
lege and responsibilities of democracy has
been proved to be Of great civic and
moral value. and that as efforts to pro-
should be in cooperation with, and d.
rected by, one experienced in the work,
there shall be appointed by the presi-
dent a committee on school citizenship TO

In discussing the proposition Mr. Gill
said that children could be taught not 10
do things that they should not by having
them make laws for themselves. lie pe-
lieves. that they will obey laws made BY
themselves much, better than they Will
obey laws made by civic authorities.

While she was at the school, she said
the election Of mayor. judges and alder

cal in every respect. and SO that the

try's laws when they leave school.
