and that said Prosecuting Attorney
report his investigation to the next
meeting OF this board.
Motion carried
Your committee 10 which was sub
mitted the question OF investigating
and reporting 10 you a plan for the
hiring and supervising OF a Home
Demonstrator and Club leader and
10 decide upon the character OF the
work TO be carried on by such an
agent. begs leave TO submit TO you
the following report:
Your committee has considered
this question OF supervision in every
light and believes that the hiring OF
such an agent without providing pro-
per supervision for her work Is not
a good policy. We have taken up
the question with the State Agricul-
tural College and find that no funds
OF any kind are available from that
institution for the support or aid OF
such an agent in this county. We
further find that the franking privil-
ege which was given such an agent
by the federal government has been
withdrawn.
This means, in short, that every
item OF expense in connection with
such an agent must be borne by the
county.
In considering the question OF
Home Economics VS.. Club Work. we
ran into knowledge OF kindred work
being done in the county that took
your committee considerable ways
from the original purpose II had In
mind in making its investigations.
We found that other agencies ir
the county were at work on practi-
cally the same line as your county
club leader so that a duplication ex-
listed 70 some extent in the club work
and 10 great extent along the Home
Economics line. The agency We re
fer 10 IL known as the international
Institute" This agency maintains
Ave women, four workers and an ex-
ecutive. in this county. They have
been working for year and. as far
as this committee can see. they have
been getting excellent results.
The International Institute is
wholly a non-sectarian organization
which was devised for experimental
purposes in Americanization work.
Iron county is the only county unit
in the United States in which this
work Is being carried on.
Institutes OF the kind are maintain
ed in some Of the cities but nowhere
else Is the county a unit. The reason
why Iron county was chosen is that
its proportion of foreign population
to the native born Ia so great.
We found, upon insuiry, that one
OF the principal reasons for the fail
ure OF the Home Economies Work
in this county was that the person
in charge was unable TO speak any
but the English language and with
so large foreign population she was
beyond measure We
are also OF the opinion that Club
worker. except as her work Is con-
fined to children in the schools, must
labor under the same handicap and
even when working with the pupils
her value is lessened because OF her
being out OF touch with the parents

communities II should be Club work
alone but the Club leader. to get re-
suits. must be able 10 speak the lam
guage OF a majority OF the people she
works with. that II possible 10 se-
cure the funds, both lines OF work be
pursued, and with IL Americanization
and Community work.
How much money do you feel the
county ought TO spend in this work
The answer was about 100000.

ton on the part OF some or the min

OF the children. Almost all OF our
farming population is foreign and the
bulk or II Firms. especially on the
east side OF the county.
With the idea In view OF getting
full knowledge OF the workings OF the
International Institute. your COM
mittee held a meeting with Miss
Warner. its executive. and at the
same meeting a representative OF the
Agricultural College was present.
Miss Warner informed us that she
has workers on her stan as follows;
one club worker whose affiliation Is
more or less with the Y. W. G. A.
One Finnish worker who gives her
entire attention TO working with the
Finnish people, especially with the
women; one Slavish worker who
speaks several of the dialects OF the
Slavish tongue and gives her entire
attention TO the people OF that par
entage; one Italian worker who
gives to the people OF that national
ity her attention. Miss Warner is
the executive who has charge OF
these women. complies the reports
and submits them to her superiors.
The Institute is spending at the rate
Of $4,000 per year and the funds set
aside for the work will be exhausted
January ist at which time the work
must cease unless funds are avail
able from other sources.
Miss Warner further informed us,
and we have the information verified
to some extent. that certain ildust-
rial interests in the county hare i'm
dicated a purpose TO keep the work
going by private funds II Necessary.
This means, OF COURSE, that some
Of the mining companies are inter-
ested in continuing the work.
The representative of the agricul-
tural college stated TO us that she
could see no reason why the work
couldn't be correlated with the Home
Demonstration work and duplication
avoided: that che would be perfectly
satisfied 10 work with such an agen-
cy
Your committee then turned its at
tention to an investigation of the pub
lie mind in regard to the Interna-
tional Institute We called meetings
in Alpha, Crystal Falls. Caspian and
Amasa. The meeting a, Caspian was
intended TO take in the Stambaugh-
Iron River district. No meeting was
called in Bates for the reason that
no work has been done by these peo-
pie in that township.
The Alpha meeting was a failure
so few responding to the cali that
no formal meeting was held. Many
OF the people OF Alpha, however, con-
ferred with your committee private
ly and every one asked that this
committee intercede TO have the
work continue
The meeting at Crystal Falls was
not largely attended but It was rep
resentative and very general dis
cussion was had which gave your
committee some valuable informa-
tion.
The meeting az Caspian was about
in proportion to that at Crystal Falls
and similar in results.
AT these meetings your committee
put these questions to the people
