My dear Miss Addams --
This committee to which twenty-six organizations send their delegates once a month [to study] educational subjects related to the schools of Chicago, is to discuss Teachers’ Councils at a noon luncheon Thursday, November 19th.
The publicity secretary of the High School Teachers’ Council is to speak for the teachers and Mr. Harry Keeler, Principal of [Lindblom] Technical High School is to speak against councils. Mr. McAndrew has prepared a statement of his ideas on the subject and his reasons for the stand he has taken.
It occurred to some of the members of our program committee that you might be willing to either attend as our guest or that maybe you would prepare a statement as to what you had hoped for Chicago [through] organization of ↑teacher↓ councils when you assisted in drawing up the plans under which they operated for some years.
If you are willing to do this will you not also tell us whether in your opinion their function in [the] city has justified their [continuance].
Will you not kindly telephone me your decision upon receipt of this letter that we may call for your typed statement if you cannot give your message personally to us at our meeting.
Lunch is to be at the Chicago Woman’s Aid, 25 East Jackson Boulevard at 12.15 Thursday, next.
P.S. Mrs. Kohn of Hull House will remind you of who I am as we are both serving on the [subcommittee] of the educational committee of the Woman’s City Club which is investigating the Campbell affair with the School Board.
