Teaching the Boys to Achieve.

The country is rapidly awakening to
the needs of its future citizens,-the
boys and girls of to-day. No longer are
they the neglected ones in the commu-
nifty, but rather are rapidly coming into
prominence. All over the country people
are alive to the fact that to insure good
citizens in the future, the training must
begin now. Boys and girls clubs are
coming generation the dignity of labor
and the rewards which it brings.
Mr.. Edward j. Tobin, superintendent
of Cook county schools, aud his assist
ants are doing some excellent work. To
most of us, Cook county, Illinois, means
Chicago, but little study of the map
reveals the fact that it is one of the larg-
est counties in Illinois, and includes an
important agricultural district. Here,
among the truck farmers, one can see in
tensive farming practiced in scientific
way. Here We find men raising two and
three crops yearly. and their economical
use of the land would put many of our
dairy farmers to shame.
The boys and girls of this district are
Mr.. Tobin's special problem, and already
he has done great deal for them. He
has divided Cook county into FIVE dis
tricts, in each of which is an assistant
superintendent with the title of country
life director. Not only has this man i'm
mediate supervision of the schools, but
he must be an important factor in the
social life of his district. He has to be a
combination of county agent, school
supervisor, and social center organizer.
During the summer four teachers from
each district are hired to assist the coun-
try life directors, so there are twenty.
This year Mr.. Tobin and his assist
ants have been very successful in getting
home project work started. They have
about 2500 boys and girls working at
home, either in field and garden work,
or with poultry. In any case the work
is purely business proposition. The
boy rents the land at the usual rate from
the father, plans the work and does most
of it himself. In case it is necessary for
him to have assistance, this must be
paid for out of the earnings of his gar
den. He has to keep an accurate &C.
count of sales and expenditures, which
u
ents and by the country life director OF
that district. At the end of the season
he must hand in written report of the
entire project.
This work in Cook county has one
very distinctive feature-it is achieve.
ment work. The primary idea which is
nstilled into every boy and girl engaged
in it is that of achievement; the profits
are secondary consideration. They
are taught to accomplish something.
With this end in view, each one who has
been successful is given achievement
credits and a small lapel button as an
achievement emblem. These credits are
granted publicly every year, and have
already come to be close rivals to the
academic credits necessary for gradua
ton from school. The achievement,
emil blem is a badge of honor which every
one of the twenty-five hundred wishes to
| win.
In Cook county this work is a part Of
the public school system, and there il
exactly where it belongs. 1t is educa
tional work of the best type, and Other
localities would do we'll to study ii close

that the system corrupts the moral

extends to councils and legislatures

The most valuable asset of all these

monopolize the use Of the streets of
a great city or the highways of a

monopoly their tangible property be-

their Inheritance Of equal opportUn-

by the managers to whom they have
given up their patrimony.

the people is here. The most valuable
part of the Automatic property, the
opportunity to do business, already
belongs to the people. The council
should forbid the sale to the mon

it and assume the business of tele-
phoning as a part of the public func-

should extend it as rapidly as pos
