better, however, to have collars that

This Is assuming an average weight

To Put Up Bars Across the Road That Is Now
Luring High School Pupils



The board of education Of the city of Chicago calls upon parents to
aid in putting up bars acros. the road that is Turing high school pupils.
We believe the modern method of dancing has done much to break
down respect for womanhood. We feel that no effort on our part can
counteract this evil unless the parents realize the danger and help us main
tain the standards.
We believe that jazz music has done much TO corrupt dancing and
make it impossible for young people to learn the more refined forms of
dancing, at the same time yitahng their taste for good music.
We believe the unrestricted use of the automobile is another democrat
izing influence and that parents who allow boys in their teens to take high
school girls "joy riding arc doing much to break down the moral stand
ards of the community.
Extremes in dress re deplorable. We believe that mothers should
know that modesty and simplicity in high school girls costumes are most
helpful and uplifting to the school ideals.
Students should abide by the state law prohibiting their smoking. Like
wise, they should keep wholesome hours and should devote five nights a
week to school work.
It is the intention of the board of education and its officers that all
dances given by the pupils of any high school shall be conducted within
the high school building, if possible. When this is not possible the affair

The movement during the winter toward the construction OF hgh-
ways, the building of bridges, and the erection of public works has been
unprecedented in volume. The sales of municipal bonds for public WORKS
in 1921 we're about double those of any previous year, and nearly three
times the amount of those for any year before the war. In September
the total sales of municipal bonds throughout the country amounted TO
ss6477, 1872. In October the figure rose to $ll3,78f,230; and IN Novem-
Der it was $11f95O, POI; while in December it reached the unprecedented
amount of ~S210,8195s4.
1t is well to do, in times when ordinary business has slowed up
public works which are necessary, which must be done anyway within a
few months or a year.
But no matter how successful such efforts are to alleviate them,
these recurring depressions are intohrable. They must be prevented, IL
there is any way to do il, for the heavy price is paid In the suffering and
anguish of our fellow citizens; the strain comes upon those least able to
bear it.
1t was for this reason that the Conference on Unemployment called
by the President determined that, besides trying to help meet the emer-
gency of this winter, it would make a vigorous and sustained effort,
starting right now, to try to find out the causes Of industrial depressions
and to devise ways and means to prevent or mitigate them. This study
il already going on. 1t will take into consideration all facts Of the sltua-
ton and will try to work out something definite and practical so that we
shall not have to face such calsmities in the future.
