ll WILMETTE LIFE March 1. 1929 OF~ICIAL ~tatement PUBLICATION CHARAcrER-BUILDING SCHOOL'S BIGGEST JOB Eaton V. Tubbs Finds Outstanding Leaders Emphasize Training for Life Work Eston V. Tubbs of Wilmette, director of curriculum for the Chicago Public schools, has been conducting a survey recently on the relation of school trainin~ to successful careers. Mr. Tubbs sent questionnaires 'to 250 persons whose names were compiled from \~Vho's \,Yho in America. On the basis of replies to his ques tions regarding the influence of school training on careers, Mr. Tubbs con :cludes: "It is quite clear that the combined school influences in the lives of the boys and girls of a gene ration or two ago were very marked. In vie\Y of the fact that society is coHtinually delegating wider and greater responsibilities to the schools in the training and rearing of children, it is reasonably safe to predict that the influence ·w·hich ""ill be exerted by the schools in molding and shaping the character of future generations will become more and more pronounced.

Nearl_v all of the persons respond ing ~o the questionnaire had something to say in answer to the request for constructive criticisms as to im provements that might he made in the conduct of our schools. Character building was the one outstanding point emphasized in these comments. Mr. Tubbs found. ... 1 I I Would Fit for Life Work "As a matter of fact," he continues, "very little was said regarding the !nformational aspect of school work. Both teachers and school administrators readily admit that the building of character ~s of paramount importance. but in realitv what is done in this direction is ahogether roundabout and incidental. ... Such subjects as arithmetic, spelling, geography, etc., are ushered into our schools by way of the front entrance. hut courses which emphasize character - building are forced to sneak in at the back door. Perhaps the time is not far distant whe·n our school programs of stud_\· will be completely ' overhauled, and first things put first. Then more thought will be given to the individual student and ·to the means of fitting him for his life work." + Par ,·alue of securities deposited \\·ith .'\uditor of Public :\rcounts. ~pringlield.
