Served On Welfare
Legislation Committee.
Mrs. Chandler served with the
Illinois sState Committee on Child
Welfare Legislation, and her partic-
ular aim in welfare work is to i'm
prove conditions for children and
young people. She approves of the
Districts Juvenile Court and thinks
that its child welfare program is ex-
tremely promising.
II particularly approve the at
tempts made to expand foster
homes" she said.
Foster homes for parentless chill
dren are advocated by Mrs. Chandler,
because she believes institutional
care for children should be given
only in cases where child needs
special and extra care.
"Of course, 1t is necessary to have
an adequate staff for supervision and
investigation of foster homes" she
remarked. But with proper super
vision, foster homes are far better
for the average child than institu-
tons. All young people need a
personal supervision which can't be
given in an institution"
When institutions are inadequate,
the blame should not be placed upon
institutional officials, in Mrs. Chan
dler's opinion. II frequently feel
sorry for institutional officials who
are victims of system" she said.
The leagues social chairman feels
strongly on the subject of District
suffrage. Many unsatisfactory situa-
tions would be more quickly and
effectively met, she believes, If resi-
dents of the District were permitted
to vote.

Offers of Help
Have Increased.
Just as the work of the school has
been increased greatly by legislation
affecting the foreign born, she said,
so have offers of help from outside
organizations increased recently.
1--WE also are receiving more re-
quests than ever before for speakers
to tell of the work at the school,
she added.
The Americanization School long
has counted women's groups among
its friends, she pointed out, and this
assistance happily is being given In
even greater measure now.
"The Daughters of the American
Revolution have helped with alb
solute regularity for 20 years" she
said. "They have given hundreds
of dollars for milk and materials
for the nursery and we have come
to know that we can always count
on them"
MANY groups, among them tne
d. A. R. and the District Federation
of Women's Clubs, always contribute
To the annual bazaar sponsored by
the Americanization School Assocla-
ton, which this season will be helo
tomorrow and Tuesday.
Other Groups Helping
With Schools Work.
To name a few others, the local
B'nai Birth auxiliary has assisted in
many ways, especially in clerical
work. while the Council OF jewish
Women has, among other contrl-
buttons. raised funds for the salaries
of teachers in the night school.
Recently a new group called the
Childs Service Club of the Ameri-
canization School Association has
been organized to give special help
in the nursery.
But the CLUB side" of the picture
Is not complete without mention OF
many small organizations among
the women students themselves.
There are a number of new mothers
clubs which study child psychology
and the needs of the children and
also several craft groups where the
native arts of the foreign born are
developed and shared.
The craft groups, incidentally.
were among those which worked
most industriously last week to COM
plete articles for the bazaar OPEN
ing tomorrow.
Asked the kinds of help most
needed now from would-be friends,
Miss Alton named two.
First, she said, she would like to
see public opinion work for better
appropriation for the school.
Trained Volunteer
Workers Needed.
Second, she would welcome the
help of organizations with system
attic, trained, volunteer workers.
Workers without training, she ex-
planned, are of little assistance now
while the school staff is too busy to
teach them the work from the
ground up.
Pointing out that the primary
purpose of the school is to train
for citizenship" Miss Alton declared
her experience has been that the
majority of students earnestly desire
to become fine citizens.
They also want the assurance
they can accomplish things if they
keep at it and the schools aim is
to give students security enjoyed
through their own efforts to fit
themselves for citizenship" she

Drivers License
Seizures A Record

Revelations and suspensions of
drivers licenses, as a means to pre-
venting repetition of those traffic
law violations which cause death and
injury, showed a sharp squirt upward
for January of 1910. Two hundred
and ninety-eight drivers licenses were
revoked during the month as COM
pared to 100 revocations in January
of 1899. Only one was a woman.
An even more pronounced increase
was recorded in the number of sus-
pensions, 2O5 motorists being de-
prived of their driving rights for
varying periods of time as compared
to rs for January of the previous
year. Both the revocation and sus-
pension totals each exceeded the num-
Der recorded in any other one month
in the history of the drivers license
law.
Of the revocations, 240 were for
driving while intoxicated and 20 for
driving while the drivers license
was under SUSPENSION. Seventy OF
the drivers who were prohibited from
driving for one year did not have
valid drivers licenses.
Among the suspensions, 80 were
for speeding, As for reckless driving
Is for having a poor driving record
and Is for repeated disregard of signs
and signals. III

PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
A. E. GUsTAFSoN. County Supt.

Old man flu "got me down" for a
week. Will have to 60 in low gear
for while.
Garland Taylor of the state depart
ment will be here for our two days
institute on Thursday and Friday of
this week at Pine City.
When schools are closed for bad
roads, bad weather, regular holidays
and institute, those days are marked
and considered as school holidays and
need not be made up unless so agreed
or desired Since state aids, appor-
tionment and supplemental, are based
on average daily attendance of days
school was actually in session, the
other days thus listed as holidays do
not affect state aids in any way.
Through this weekly column we
have from time to time tried to give
desirable and important information
concerning and affecting our rural
schools in particular and all of our
schools in general.
Since more than three-fourths of
the entire money to operate our Pine
county schools, annually, comes from
various state funds and aids, we con-
slider the state aid matter very vital
and important.
Any gains, losses, changes or pro-
posed changes in the state aid set-up
are or should be important news af-
fecting our schools.
Last two issues we showed that
Pine county school lost $4,000 be-
cause some of the state aids, covering
the school year ending June 80, 1889,
were not paid in full.
If our net income tax aid were
entirely diverted away from the
schools as threatened, we would lose
another $45,300 annually.
The 1000 delegates at the State
School Officers Association meeting
last week voted unanimously, for the
fourth successive year, for resolu-
! ton demanding that the entire net
income tax fund be used actually and
directly for the schools instead of
only in part, as it is now. Yet we
have few in Pine county who still
believe that all the net income tax
money is going for the schools. 1t is
