WAR OPENS ON
CITY'S CHARITY
'RACKETEERS'
Citizens Committee, Better
Business Bureau Back
of Campaign.
BY LOWELL NUSSBAUM
Times staff Writer

Campaign to reduce the flow of
money into hands of promoters
working under the guise of chart
table purposes is to be conducted
by committee to cooperate with
the Better Business Bureau, it was
announced today by T. M. Overley.
bureau manager.
1T has been estimated that $3.50
900 a year is contributed by bust
mes men and others in the city
through money raising schemes
which purportedly are for charity,
but in which the promoter obtains
most of the money" Overley said.
He explained that the committees
purpose will be to check worthiness
of all enterprises where money is
sought from the public or charitable
purposes.
This information will be compiled
and the facts on each organization
made available to the public, on re-
quest, although the committee will
not indorse or approve any project.
Many Charity Rackets
Among the charity rackets"
which the committee seeks to dis
courage are missions" and
armies" conducted by private in
dividuals for themselves; ticket
sales for entertainments, dances,
musicals and other special events
where only small proportion of
the money goes to charity; street
beggars disguised in uniforms to
appear as though they represent
organized institutions; advertising
schemes, and many other forms.
Objections to these activities,
Overley said, are that they are mis-
leading to the giver, who thinks all
his contribution will go to charity,
and that it takes away from those
who really need charity.
Information to Be Gathered
The committee merely will deter
mine whether operations of such
an organization or group come with
in the restrictions generally recog-
rized as legitimate and fair for that
particular type of solicitation.

we are beginning to believe them-that
there is nothing wickeder than to insist
on a child's doing something he cannot
do well. We are learning that it is un-
wise to insist on our child's going on to
college unless he Is demonstrably fitted
for it. College is not q necessity, and
maybe your boy would rather study
music or blacksmithing.
To make an intelligent inquiry into the
question Of . college You viii want to
ask: Is this boy or girl to study for
profession?' Should he study for pro-
fession? Would he be successful in IT?
II he is not candidate for a profess
sion, will he derive enough benefit from
the contacts with college culture to war
rant the expenditure of time and money?
Is there enough money available to JUS
tify the expense II the expected returns
are slight?
WHAT college Jack should go to. If he
goes to any, Is q question upon .
which local and well Informed advice
should be sought. The quiet, retiring
boy should sometimes 60 to the small
college, where he win get the attention
he needs to draw him out; but some
boys need the greater competition of the
large college as stimulant. Some eager,
dynamic boys viii need the large group
to tame them a bit; while some others,
like them, should go to the smaller col
lege to get the closer contacts with q
scholarly faculty that is needed TO
awaken that side Of their natures. Some
boys viii develop best when held up to
high standards and the classical tradi-
ton, while others need the easier
achievement to bring out latent abilities.
When the right college has been Sc
lected, the proper high school courses
10 prepare for the entrance require
nents are easily determined. Every col
lege publishes q catalogue giving II
necessary information.
When you have done all this plaza
ming, you-parents, child, teacher and
vocational adviser-can be satisfied that
you have done all IN your power to SEQ
that your child u to get the best pos
sible results from his education. You
can 1t back then, but only then, proud
of . good job well done and serenely
conscious Of being vastly superior 70

college. Too often, without such an
analysis, father win feel that because
Jack Is his son he must be just like him
and have the same interests. Whereas.
perhaps, Jack may need q very different
outlet from what pleased the father.
Then the committee members should
decide, very tentatively, how Jack Is
going to earn his living; and this item
Of the plan should be subject to the most
searching exploration and regular revt-
sion. Every boy should change his mind
once in q while about anything as i'm
portant as what he Is to do for living;
and education should offer opportuni-
ties for an exploratory process that
would constitute a sound basis for such
\A/HAT many people fail to realize.
w however, Is that the child's educa-
tion is never contained within the four
walls of a school, or inside the covers Of
. whole library of books. His clubs his
neighborhood gang, the theaters, libra
ries, movies" after school jobs, vacation
jobs, older brothers and sisters, parents
and their friends-an his contacts
make their contributions to the educa-
ton Of the child; and the schools are
seeking to capitalize and use these influ-
enees. Participation In school govern
ment, athletic associations, dramatic
organisations, administrative squads,
school clubs-ah these o1er unique edu-
cational opportunities and splendid
means to explore for the answer to that
aQ-important question: what shah
do when I graduate?" Teachers can help
materially with suggestions about these
activities; but parents should be sure
that they are familiar With what Is
offered, and that their friendly interest

anything that viii provide experience to

schools are, Of course, necessities for

teacher, minister or engineer, the ques-
ton Of college is an open one. The wide
culture that college gives \ Of undoubted
worth In any position In society; but cul-
tare as snch Is not worth its price for
all Of Us.
The time was when only q very few
selected boys went to college,; after tlae
war it became the "thing to. do.-every-
body went. and the number Of students
increased enormously. not always TO the
advantage Of anybody concerned. We
now are approaching saner attitude,
that colleges are for the intensive study
of some practical or cultural subjects.
and that they are not always worth what
they cost for the non-seholarly part Of
our population.

vidual pupils education. will you do
that?
A SIX your Bill, Jack and Sally what
~ their plans are for next term. Learn
how little they know about plan; and
then ask them to introduce you to the
teacher who can best help you. Teachers
are busy people, but your child's prob
lens are their problems; II you win show
that you are interested, they win want
to help. BY such planning many DIS
appointments can be avoided.
Some time during the high school
years every child viii ask himself:
what shall do when I graduate?'
what shall do for a living?"- shall
I 90 to college?" Where shall I go?"
what shall study to at me for what
I want to do in college?-or at work."
"Am I following the course that viii

The answers that he finds may be wise
and may be well informed-or they may
be mere guesses; yet those questions and
their right answers are Of tremendous
importance for his present and future
happiness, and for his usefulness to
society.
So you, the Parent Com
mittee on Plan and Amusement, win need
to equip yourselves.with all the tnforma-
tion necessary for the wise answers to
those questions. You Win need hrst the
best possible analysis Of the child's
character, his mental endowment, his
capacities, Interests, abilities and back
grounds. As no tWo children are alike,
q plan for any one child must take
cognizance Of him - an individual. You
must have, too, full Information about
the school, the opportunities It Oilers
outside the curriculum, its athletics,
clubs, etc. Then you should Get al tlae
details Of the school curriculum, the re-
quirements for graduation, md you
should know quite lot shout college
values and entrance requirements. with
all this information Accumulated you
can help the child to make Intelligent
plans.
First, there must be the analysis Of
the child. First-and let's make no bones
