VIM. HALE THOMPSON,
MAYOR OF CHICAGO

WIN OFA vt SEllSlAO-
Say, Bill:
Pm going to make one more appeal
to you. First, III go back a little.
The only talk Lever had with you
was the one we had at that confer
ence shortly before the election at
which you won. 1 gave you the best
advice had in the shop that day, and
have tried to follow up ever since in
the various open letters 1 have writ
ten you. 1 believe now that if you
had needed what 1 said in those let
tiers you would today be the most
popular mayor in Chicago's history.
That's what wanted you to be. And
what a glorious chance you had, Bill.
You really owed nothing to the news
paper bosses, nothing to the political
bosses, nothing to the State street
stores, nothing to the public service
corporations, nothing to selfish or
crooked Big Business. You were
elected by the people without regard
to partisan politics, and your only
obligation was to the people. The
SITUATION was ideal Tor you to be
real mayor, beloved servant of the
people.
watched your career with keen
interest. When saw that you were
slipping called your attention to it.
l tried to help you see the danger
ahead of you. And was earnest and
honest in trying to help you.
Now I'll make one more appeal I
have absolutely no selfish purpose in
doing so. My purpose is wholly pub
lie and grows out of a very deep in
terest in our public school system.
I attended the public schools. So did
all of my brothers and sisters. My
seven children attended the public
schools and the youngest two are
still attending them. So are the old
est two Of my six grandchildren.
Both my father and my mother be-
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-11-27

fore their marriage were public
school teachers.
Here's the appeal: Take the foul
hand of politics off the public
schools. Fill vacancies on the school
board with parents who have chill
dren in the public schools. Use your
influence as mayor to get rid of Jake
Loeb as president of the school
board. Don't let Big Business con-
troll the school board for it's own self
ish purposes. Give US a school board
that will make the superintendent of
schools and not a political president
of the school board the REAL head
of our public school educational sys-
TEN. Give Shoop a chance to make
our public school system what it
ought to be.
You're no fool, Bill You know
that by no stretch of imagination
can Jake Loeb be termed an educa-
tor. You know that Jake is a pOliti-
clan and a fire insurance agent. You
know that members of the Illinois
manufacturers ASSOCIATION can nanQ
out millions of insurance business to
fire insurance agent who will cater
to them.
And YOU know, Bill, that the relig-
ioUs issue isn't the REAL reason for
the war Big Business has declared on
the Teachers Federation. YOU know
that the Teachers Federation has
done nothing against the interests of
the teachers, parents and pupils, al
though it has forced some Of our
richest and greediest corporations to
pay more taxes. And YOU know that
the real reason for the hostility of
the News and Tribune to the feder-
alton is the fact that the federation
has vigorously protested against
these Iessees of public school lands
robbing the public school children Of
Chicago.

inspection of the home since the new
superintendent, Miss Jennies F. Suit
ton, of Weston, became superinten-

paroled or discharged at the end Of
the year. The board is advertising
for bids for the construction Of a
building and chapel to take the place
of the building destroyed by fire more
than a year ago. In the last year very
much work was done by the state
authorities in the improvement and
grading of the grounds around the
home. Some new drive ways were
constructed and a landscape gardener
made plans for identifying the entire
fifty acre plat of ground. One very
important Improvement to the grounds
contemplated is the paving OF the road
from the entrance to the home grounds
to connect with the Salem city paving
at the west end Of the city. When this
is done 1t will enable automobile driv-
