Campfire Girls

The local Camp Fire troup under
Mrs. S. A. Appleton as guardian is
composed Of girls in their teens in
terested in training in all branches
needed through life which are not
covered or enforced by school require
ments.
They learn the joy of living through
work, health and love as the watch
word "Wohelo" indicates. By de-
veloping initiative, they train lead
ers. They do not work for credit
standings as in school but for the joy
they derive from knowledge in these
fields new to them. That is why they
work with eagerness and attain hon.
ors far in excess of the requirements
for their various degrees. They have
unlimited youthful enthusiasm and
gain their training through their own
personal discipline.
In the home craft division, some
thirty honors may be won in each di-
vision including cooking, housekeep-
ing, care of children, care of sick,
laundering, marketing, care of amin
ais, radio, and in social leadership.
As a result Of this stimulus, we have

standards of building and equipment
facilities, well planned and kept
school records, definite requirements
for graduation, high scholarship re-
quirement, well trained and properly
qualified teachers, a good salary
schedule, proper support by school
patrons, and proper athletic rela-
tionships with other high schools as
determined by the state athletic asso-
citation.
The Redwood Falls graduates are
privileged to enter institutions OF
higher learning and education with
out entrance examinations, provided
they have studied in the high school
subjects required by the college or
university for admission. Graduates
are also assured their high school
diploma will be acceptable to state
boards having to do with the granting
of certificates for various professions
Of medicine, dentistry, law, etc.
These facts concerning accrediting
provide the local schools a greater
prestige than such schools which are
not accredited. For this reason the
local schools find it easier to attract
nonresident high school students.
Redwood Falls is assured Of pro-
gram of modern high school educa
ton. Patrons are supporting its in
stitutions of education and evidence
the confidence necessary to assist in
promoting the high standard of ac-
crediting.

Crippled Children

The following article, plea for the
crippled children of Minnesota, was
written by Mrs. Fhebe M. Fuller, a
member of the State Committee, who
has been most active in her efforts to
better conditions for all children so
handicapped.
How club women can help to make
crippled children an asset instead OF
a liability to our state and solve the
problem of the crippled child.
First: Study the crippled child
problem as whole for the state, find
the crippled child, see that parents
know how and where to obtain appli-
cation blanks from the various hospi-
tails and help to promote education
for crippled children. The people OF
our state should pay more attention
to the education of lonely crippled
child in the rural districts.
We now have two schools for chill
dren disabled physically and Al
schools for the children disabled
mentally, but according to the White
House Conference statistics there are
in the United States almost as many
in one group as the other.
The city crippled child is being
cared for by the Minneapolis and
Duluth Schools and the school soon to
be built in st. Paul.
The bill as passed recently by our
legislature provides $4,000 annually
for board or transportation which
ever may be required for crippled
children in the country districts. This
means that it will now be possible to
organize a school in such centers as
Redwood Falls, Willmar, Mankato,
Montevideo and others of the larger
districts of the larger centers through
out the state and bring these children
in from the surrounding county or
counties. This bill just passed is a
big step in the direction of Every
crippled child in school"
Since serving on this committee the
past two years, feel more and more
impressed with the fact that compar-
atively few of our people know about
the facilities provided for the care
and then later the education of Grip
pied children. Public health nurses
and others take in names and in

formation frequently of children
whose parents never heard of the Gil
lette Hospital or the Eustis Hospital
and many never heard of the Shrin-
ers Hospital. Few of them realize
that the former are state institutions
and that any crippled child regard
less of the financial resources of the
family can secure hospital care and
treatment at one of these state insti-
buttons. All that is necessary for
them is to be certified by their own
doctor or a reputable physician in
their community.
Now here is where club women can
help. Inform the parents of Grip
pied child as to the facilities available
and how to go about securing the aid
of these facilities.
The American College of Surgeons
devoted section of their last conven-
tion to the study of the crippled child.
One of their conclusions was that
more than 80 per cent Of the deformi-
ty cases can be improved and Is per
cent of the cases can be made self
supporting through treatment.
Faith is the readiness to work in
a cause the results of which have not
been certified to u.s." We have the
faith to believe that there is a solu-
ton to the problem of the crippled
child.

The school district includes an area
of approximately eleven square
miles. Two buses provide transport
alton for pupils outside the city
limits. The school plant includes two
buildings cared for by three custod-
ians. The senior high school was
erected in two units, the one in 1903
and the other in 1914 and houses the
three upper classes. The Lincoln
School was erected in 1924 and hous-
es the elementary school, Junior high
school, teacher training department
and the offices. An adequate play
ground, fully equipped, provides faci-
lities to carry on strong physical
educational program.
The schools are classified by the
state department of education in the
highest class, namely the C schools.
There ars Sc similar junior high
schools, and 40 similarly organized
senior high schools in the state. These
include the twin city schools and Du-
luth.
The high school is accredited by
the North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools. Be-
fore any school can be considered for
accrediting by the North Central As

list of schools approved and accredit-
ed by the school authorities Of the

The organization of the Redwood
Falls public schools provides local and
nonresident pupils with educational
advantages equal to the best in the
state. The local school organization
is known as the 6-3-3 plan or an
elementary school of six grades,
junior high school of three grades,
and a senior high school of three
grades. In addition to these, post
graduate department furnishes grad
yates an opportunity to take an addi-
tional year in the teacher training
department where students are train
ed to teach in rural schools. This
postgraduate department makes pos
sible a spring primary, conducted for
ten weeks for those pupils who will
be eligible to enroll in the first grade
in the fall.
These departments have an enroll
ment as follows: Spring Primary SO,
Elementary school 352, junior high
school 1876, senior high school ITO,
and teacher training IA. The teach
ing force of thirty-one includes ten
grade teachers, six junior high
school teachers, six senior high school
teachers, and eight special teachers

entire charge of Sunday dinners, or
some may choose marketing for the
month and similar duties.
In the healthcraft division, some
fifteen honors are offered in each
class, exercise, first aid, personal hy-
giene, water sports and winter
sports.
In the campcraft division, the girls
learn signaling, knot tying, fire lore,
outdoor cooking, tentcraft, camp
making, map and trail making,
weather lore and backwoods crafts.
The handcrafts division affords
work in decoration, original design,
basketry, dyeing, bookbinding, photo
graphy, textile knowledge, sewing,
knitting, weaving, candle making,
carpentry, and metal work.
The business craft is one of the
most important divisions as in this
age, every woman in the home needs
to manage it in businesslike man
ner. The girls may earn some forty
different business honors such as,
punctuality in all appointments for a
year, writing business letter, and
business thrift honors, as planning
the family budget, living on ones al
lowance for year, keeping accurate
accounts and not borrowing money or
clothes, repairing things about the
home that would otherwise have to be
hired done and the like.
Under the citizenship craft, their
achievements include projects in COM
munity service, Red Cross, American
ization work, historical work and each
girl assumes responsibilities in her
own church activities.
The Camp Fire organization is ma
ton wide. These girls deserve the
whole hearted support of every citi-
zen or club interested in right train
ing for the youth of today.
Many of the girls plan to attend
state training camp this summer.
Submission to this routine of self i'm
posed discipline is splendid training
and great aid in proper character
development.

Buffalo YMCA Makes
An Attack on Labor
Sports Union NJ G e t

BUFFALO, N. Y.-The YMCA of
Buffalo made a definite attack on
the Labor Sports Union and all
working class organizations when its
president, Myron Short, ordered the
officials of the Michigan Ave. Branch
Of the YdCA to revoke the rental of
the gym, which had already been
paid for and. rented by the Labor
Sports Union.
The Labor Sports Union had been
planning to hold a District Sports
Meet in the ''Y' on December 10.
The permit for the gym was revoked
on the seventeeth, two days before
the meet, consequently preventing the
holding Of the meet.
The Labor Sports Union has passed
a resolution condemning the officials
Of the "Y'' and calling for the build
ing of the Labor Sports Union into a
mass organization.
Other working class organizations
were urged to pass resolutions, con-
denning these anti working class and
jim crow tactics of the YMCA.

The solution" which the A. F. Of
L. offers is wholesale process of
wage cuts by lowering the hours of
work Of the workers already en-
ployed and along with it lowering
their pay.
1t becomes more difficult all the
time for Green, who when the Hun
ger Marchers exposed him in his
Washington office, switched to an
attack against the Soviet Union, to
cover up the growing hunger and
starvation. Green in his statement
says nothing about unemployment

of starvation. 1t does not want the

When Breadline Shut

DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 21.-A re-
Spouse Of threats and warnings have
been issued by the capitalist forces
here following the refusal of $50 I'M
employed to starve when the Bethel
breadline was closed to them. The
workers stormed large grocery store
and took food to apease their hunger.
In its leading editorial entitled
"Carefull" the Duluth Herald, owned
by the notorious denagogoue Paul
Block, declared:
There is great need Of care, both
on the part of Communists who are
likely to bring down a storm on their
own heads, and on the part Of the
unemployed, who now have public
sympathy but could easily and
quickly forfeit it by such silly tactics
asthose exhibited yesterday.
For one thing sure, regardless OF
all else, is that such tactics cannot
and will not be tolerated in Duluth
for one moment"
The Duluth News carries a scare
head stating: Red Raiders Stab
City Employe, Plumber Shop" The
capitalist press is trying to fasten the
stabbing Of the keeper of the NUM-
cipal breadline, which took place
some time after the grocery store was
raided, on Communists. This is the
beginning of preparations for q
frame-up. Stewart was stabbed
either by provocateur or an out
ragged unemployed worker driven to
desperation by starvation.

defense in the courts, can stop this
frightful crime.
The International Labor Defense is
defending the boys, and has prepared
a mass Of new evidence and affida-
Wits completely exposing the lynch
terror nature of this frame-up. The
boys are charged with raping two
white girls. They were convicted on
the unsupported and contradictory
testimony of these girls, both of
whom at first refused to help the
state in its vicious frame-up of the
boys. The girls are mill workers,
forced into prostitution by the star
walton wages paid to Alabama textile
workers by the capitalists. They
were threatened with prosecution for
prostitution unless they aided the

Boss Press Admits
Sell-out Plans of
Rail Union Heads

NEW YORK.-Further confir1na-
ton of the fact that the railroad
union officials asked the railroad
bosses to issue a notice of a Is per
cent wage cut, in order to help these
union. takers try to put over a 10
per cent voluntary wage cut is con-
tanned in telegram published in
the Philadelphia Inquirer dated New
York Dec. 10.
The Daily Worker several days ago
published the fact that Daniel Will
lard, in his talks with President
Hoover on how to put over the wage
cut on the railroads, stated that the
union officials asked him to have an
announcement published declaring a
is per cent wage cut.
The Philadelphia Inquirer dispatch
states:
by giving notice of an intention
to lower wages an additional 5
per cent than would be the case
under a friendly adjustment, the
carriers railroad boSses) hope to
persuade labor of the greater prud-
ence in the latter course.
"They wanted us to do this. They
expected it,"' stated MIR. Willard
when asked If the labor represen-
tative would not be surprised at
the posting of the Is per cent
notices"
Thus we see again exposed the
whole scheme of the union officials
of the 81 railroad unions-deliber-
ately asking that Is per cent wage
cut notice be posted so that they
can maneuvre to force a 10 per cent
cut on the men.
