| HISTORY SECTION OF
TEN THOUSAND
CLUB MEETS

"Aims and Methods of Agencies Do
ing Americanization Work - was the
subject of most interesting and edu-
cational study at the meeting of the
history section of the Ten Thousand
Club Yesterday afternoon. Mrs. E. j.
Mack, herself Of foreign birth, led
the study, contributing many things
out of her own experiences that were
illuminating to those who had not been
able to grasp the question from the
viewpoint of the foreigner.
The introduction dealt with the
foreign born population as it was really
discovered when America entered the
world war. 1t was found that by far
the larger number were loyal to their
adopted country, fighting for the flag
and buying the bonds and savings
stamps as generously as the native cit
liens Of the Republic. There were ex-
ceptions and much was said about
these, the greatest number were loyal.
School Big Factor
The public school is perhaps the most
potent agency for Americanization. 1t
is and has done much for the children
of foreign born peoples. In the schools
the children learn the language, they
study the history of America and learn
its songs; they learn to love the flag
and to know what it stands for in ma
opinion that the English language
should not be forced upon the adult
foreigner as such an attitude would
serve to create dissention if not rebel
lion on their part. AS it now is, adults
may, attend night schools to study the
language and many of them are doing
so. The children speaking the language
in the homes will also help them to
learn it.
Other agencies were discussed in an
informal way and it was impressed
upon the members of the section that
the attitude of the native born citizen
toward his foreign neighbor has much
to do with the Americanization Of the
latter.
Ills Brother S Keeper
In the words of the authority studied
by the section, every American citi-
zenemrst feel that he is his brother IS
keeper in a large sense. America has
been built of foreign elements very
largely, though it has distinctive char
acteristics which we are pleased to call
pure Americanism; these racial char
acteristics can be preserved and should
be no matter how much of information
alism the future may hold for the
world or how close the peoples of the
world may come together socially and
politically"
The following were elected as Off
GERS for next year: Chairman, Mrs. F..
d. Jacobs; vice chairman, Mrs. Ray
Edgar; secretary, Mrs. A. j. Schaetzel; |;
treasurer, Mrs. Vaughn Francis. Mrs.
William Fleming has been the very
able leader of the section this year.

McCabc Home Center in
Monthly Session

The .McCabe Home Center, which is
one of the largest and most aggressive
organizations of it's kind in the county,
met yesterday at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Austin. 1t was an all-day
meeting with an unusually large at
tendance of members. A pot luck din
ner was served at noon which was most
enjoyable. Otherwise, the day was
spent in hat making, the class making
good headway on the spring millinery
upon which the department is now
working. Mrs. Mildred Yonge, home
agent, was present in the afternoon to
give such instruction as was required.
During the morning business session,
the center voted unanimously to sup
port Mrs. Blanche Austin, the popular
chairman of the county board Of di-
rectors, for the office of school trustee.
The opposing candidate for the office
is Walter S. Moore, prominent rancher
of the district, but the ladies of the
home center believe that in Mrs.
Austin they have the "winner. The
election will be held Friday of this
week.

School Authorities
War On jazz

Chicago school authorities backed up
Icy large per cent of the students in
the high school, are waging war on jazz
tendencies which are said to have
reached an alarming state of affairs.
For two years the authorities in the
school have been studying the com
plants that the present day school
boys and girls are deteriorating moral
ly, and have decided to take the matter
in hand, and the superintendent, belicv-
ing 8 that the greatest force for good
in the school is the sentiment and pub
lie opinion of the main student body
las started the campaign, backed by
at least ninety per cent of the pupils.
In setting forth the causes which have
been productive of so much trouble and
scandal, Superintendent Mortenson
says:
"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 par
ents realize the danger and help us
maintain the standards.
"We believe that jazz music has
done more to corrupt dancing and to
make it impossible for young people
to learn the more refined forms of
dancing at the same time vitiating
their taste for good music.
"We believe that the unrestricted
use of the automobile is another de-
moralizing influence, and that parents
who allow boys in their teens to take
high school girls joy riding are doing
much to break down the moral stand
ards of the community.
"We believe that in accordance with
the state law, pupils should refrain
from smoking.
Extremes in dress are dcplorablc.
We believe that mothers should know
that modesty and simplicity in high
school girls costumes are most helpful
and uplifting to the school ideals.
"We believe that young people of
high school age should keep early hours
and devote five evenings week to
, their high school studies.
"We believe that parents should be
invited to share in the patronage and
chaperonage of all school functions.
"Inasmuch as our greatest concern
is to preserve the wholesome elements
in the character of our young people,
and to insure q development into q
strong manhood and womanhood, with
will to combat evil, the superinten-
dent feels that he has right to the
active support of the parents in these
matters of standards and ideals'
