THE WORKERS INSTITUTE
AS a member of the Workers insti-
tUte have a message to the radical
readers of The Day Book.
l shall not dwell upon the useful
functions and activities of the Work
ers' institute, since the readers are al
ready pretty well acquainted with it.
r. In the short term of it's existence the
institute has successfully pushed it
self to the front of the educational
movement as an institute of it's own
kind and a workers forum. 1t has
OutgrOwn our expectations in its
rapid development and has enabled
us to spread its activities over a
greater area. 1t has attracted a null
titude of students from North, West
and South Sides, thereby putting the
private preparatory schools on the
brink.
And now the clamor is sounded by
students and organizations of the
Douglas Park district, complaining
of the distance they are obliged to
travel to the institute. There is a
sufficient number of them to justify
the institute in opening a branch in
that locality. Especially with the
unanimous promise of support by
various organizations which meet in
that section we may be confident of
success.
The difficulty, however, lies in the
fact that it would be rather prohibi-
tive for the institute to undertake
this task with the small reserve on
hand. Peculiarly, the Douglas park
district must have more comfortable
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-09-16

and capacious quarters suitable for
the locality in order to make an at
traction. We must create a real ed
vocational center here worthy of its
purpose.
Now, there is but one way to solve
this problem and that is by, getting
at least 100 members in the Douglas
park district who will lend hand
in this undertaking,
The writer has lived in this district
for quite while, and from my own
observation and experience with the
various organizations, as secretary
of the Douglas institute, I am more
than confident that we will be crowd
ed for space within a short time.
l, therefore, take these means to
call to action all the radical elements
of our locality, especially the mem
bers of the Lawndale Civic Center,
regardless of creed, color and politi-
cal beliefs, to rally around the ban
ner of education and help build a
home big enough to take all Of us
in. By united effort we will reduce
the rent bills of all the organizations
to considerable extent.
Let US hasten and celebrate the
opening of our headquarters here on
Sept. 81, as this is the day of the
opening of the Workers institute
Just one year ago. Those who are
interested in this plan will kindly adj
dress the writer for future infOrma-
ton if desired.
The first organization meeting will
be held Sunday, Sept. "a, 8 p. m, at
the Workers institute, 920 Ashland
blvd. All are invited. - Daniel A.
