Two Boys Agree to Attend School on Alternate Days and to Work for Same Employer on Alternate Days • Our one and only idea in the whole matter is to assist the poor boy to secure an education who otherwise would be compelled to leave school and go to work," said Dr. J. H. Phillips last night when asked to make a statement In re gard to the complaint recently made to him by a delegation from the Machinists' union to the effect that high school boys working In the Illinois Central shops In accordance with the high school team plan were doing so In violation of the rules of the union. At the request of The Age-Herald Dr. Phillips prepared a statement last night giving all the details of the situation, w hat was involved, what hi3 plan Is and how l>e hopes to work It out. His formal statement follows: To the Editor of The Age-Herald: “I take pleasure, In compliance with your request, in making a brief state ment regarding’the cause of complaint j made against the schools by the Machtn- j ists’ union. “We have found that a large number! of poor boys, after completing the work of the elementary schools, at the age; of 14 lo lt>, are unable to attend the high schools, because of the necessity to go to Work. This involves the neA*s- ] sits'" of sacrificing their high school edu cation in order that they may earn a living or learn a trade. For the pur pose cTf helping this class of boys it was decided to try an experiment that has been fount^ successful in Cincinnati, l)e troit, Boston and a number of cities in the north and east. “This plan is commonly known as the co-operation or half-time method. Two boys agree to form a unit; with the con sent of their parents they elect the vo cation they wish to follow and elect the employer with whom they can make the most satisfactory arrangement. If the J employer is w illing to take the two boys | upon the condition that they work and i go to school on alternate days, the school I has no just reason for excluding them, ! whether they attend every other day, I every other wreek or every other niohth. I “In other words, the doors of the school ! are open to these boys for such time as j they may be able to attend. T^hc scTiool j has no right to select a vocation for! the boy, neither has it a right to choose! his employer or the place in which he shall work. This duty rightly devolves upon the boy and his parents. The school simply says to the boy: If you must work, we will permit you to attend school every other day rather than compel you to sacrifice your education. Select a mate wrho will alternate with you In school and work, and we shall see what j the outcome will be. “The advantage of this plan is obvious: at the close of the day the school boy visits his chum at his work, and out lines for him the school work for the j next day, and In return receives from him an outline of tiff* work mapped out j for the next day fh the shop or place | of business. “Naturally, the questions that will arise In this conversation are, first, can each boy attending school half time do satis --- i ENSLEY DEPARTMENT A Growing Bank • Progressiveness, enterprise, prudence, liberality, within conservative bounds, and a proper conception on the part of our officers of the obligation they are under.

Thompson Among Speakers Monday / Marion, January 18.— (Special.)— Monday will he L-'e day at the Marion institute and an elaborate series of celebrations has been planned in honor of the great American. In the morn ing President George H. Denny w’ll deliver an address on “Lee, the College E’resident.*’ in th> evening Frederick E. Thompson will deliver an address on “Lee’s Services to Public Opinion and Peace.” The « on federate Veterans and United Daughter? of the Confeder acy will unite with the Marion insti tute in these memorial exercises. Hril-« liant social functions have been planned for the distinguished guests of the day. The artist's design for the Robert FI Lee stained glass window for the col- I lege chapel has been received from \ Philadelphia, and is being admired for its elegance. The Lee -window will be the chief window in the handsome se ries of stained glass windows being placed in the institute chapel to fa mous men. factory school work? and. secondly, will the employer be satisfied to have two boys working on alternate days doing the work of one boy working consecutively? “As the result of experience in other cities, the school answers in the affirma tive. The boy who has the determination to enter upon this plan will succeed any where, if given the chance. The second question must be answered by the* em ployer, according to the nature of the business. "A few weeks ago, when this plan was first explained, a number of boys In the Central High school applied for an op portunity to enter upon this plan, because they felt that it was necessary for them either to stop school or to follow some plan of this kind. Several firms of archi tects. dry goods merchants, electric com panies and employers of labor in other lines of business were quoted as being willing to take upon this plan boys who could not otherwise continue in school The boys, however, were persuaded to de fer the matter until the beginning of the new semester, about February 1. “In the Ensiey High school, however, two boys were permitted to enter upon this plan: they found work In the Illi nois Central shops near East Thomas One of these boys has since stopped work while the other continued to alternate between school and shop, and his teacher reports his school work as entirely sat isfaetory. “So, at this time, there is only one hoy in the entire city following this plan, and the school authorities have not fell justified in olosjhg the doors of the school against him. “I have tried to explain fully the at titude of the schools in this matter. I am sure that the complaint is based upon a misapprehension of the purpose of til school authorities. Not only Is there no antagonism to the aims and purposes of our labor organizations, but an earnest desire for their co-operation in enabling the poor boys of our city to enjoy the privilege of attending school and at the same tim^to enjoy the right to engage in some Remunerative work, whereby they may earn a living and defray In part the expense of their schooling. It must be remembered, however, that tin* school must not presume to select th«* boy s vocation, much less to select his employer or his place of work. That Is recognized strictly as a parental func tion. All that the school can do or ought to do in the premises is to open Its doors to any earnest boy who seeks the oppor tunity for an education. Respectfully, “J. H. PHILLIPS." An elaborate programme has been ar ranged by the T. C. I. Male chorus forrfbe concert at the High school Saturday evening, January 25.
