INTRODUCTION

Never before in the tistory of the United States has1f

interest in visiting historic pIces of interest been higher

than it is today. Nor has there evel-been a period in.,

history before when families could. travel as easily as they

donOw. Along with this the result of research has shown

that ",children who come to sOGol with an appreci4ativi ofr

their_cultural heritage and a sense of belonging to their

own family have ai*tter chAce of achievitng,scholastic suc-

cess ". (DuVall, 1973,1*. With these,:ideari'in mind, a group

of graltute students.in'1972, under the guidance of Charles

R. DuVall, Ph. D. and Donald Truex Avelopea Making A Memory,

a paper designating places of interest in the Michiana area.

As members Of4he community showed an increasing ,interest

in ,isiting these various places, a secon ,graduate class

Under the direction of Dr. DuVall expanded Making AMemory,

which was subsequently printed in 1972 as Family Tours of

Michiana. These booklets were distributed by The Natjon

Bank and .Trust CO. anc IUSB.

,v-ApproxAtely one year after the booklet was first ptint--

eacipterest was.:show in determining its effectiveness. Thise t.

papfr wag the result of'that'interes.t.

The major purpose of this project was to determine the

number of families who h4d used,thellgoklet as a guide for

family tours, the number o sites' they visited, and an

4 tion of each one. The respondents were also asked for their'

The graduate classes that developed Family Tours of

Michiana and the class that conducted the research worked

toward a common goal--that of providing information 'that

would get families in the.Michfana area in contact with their

cultural heritage and.provide,meaningful family experiences.

,Educators realize the impo-rtance of first. hand experiences,.

"that curricula are most effective when closely related to the

community they,servel and that boys and girls learn best when

deating with direct; concrete experiences." This adds further

CHAPTER I

THE DESIGN OF THE STUDY AND STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

THE DESIGN OF THETUDY6

,SiX graduates students were presented with the problem,

of Ovaluating the pamphlet, Family Tours of Michiana, edited

,

by Charles R. "DuVall, Ph.D.

In writing the paper the steps were to, define .the problem

and to do research on other pamphlets of this type and related

articles. The historical background of the research was divided ,

intp four.areass (1) using communities asra resource, (2) the

, value of free. and inexpensive materials, (3) the,coMpilation.e,

of Making A Memory andFamily Tours of Michiana, and (4) com-.

pilingcen instrument-for 'questioning. This included reviews

.

, ,

of books, abstracts, magazines, ERIC; related research papers,:6

.

. ,. / ,

,

and interviews. 'Since the..booklet'wasyresented to the public

fe

fi

as a free Im.mphlet, 1.$ was thought necessary to. research the

1 .

value of free and inexpensive materials" It.was also felt

'Important that the interviews involve people assobiated with.

was constructing and evaluating an effeCtive'instrument to

V"'determine the success of the pamphlet., Because of this, time

was spent researching ways of constructing questionnaires.

The next- step,was writing the questionnaire and accompanying

cover letter (See Appends It was felt that the cover ,

letter and follow-up letter should be *qtten in such a ways

that the public would want to respond. Decisions had:to be:

made as to what would go into the questionnaire such as, back-

ground information about the respondents and how their free

time end. vacations mere spent; Since it-was impossible to

include all 'of the places listed in the Family Tours of Michilanaf

booklet a sampling had to be chosen. It was also decided that

open-enpdApestions should be included to enable recipients

to express their opinions. The questionnaire was then key-

..

numbered and -nailed to three groups, (q) the request list from

Making N Memory, (2) the people who requested it from The

. National Bank and Trust'Co., and (3) the Newcomers list. This1

was followed,'r 4 by a re4ailing later to the non-respondents.a

A return of betei than 60 peroent wasreceived after thi

second mailing,. The process of tabulating the results of the-- ,.

qyestions was undertaken.' Graphs and charts were compiled and.:, i

the results- Were examined. After this, conclusions and recom-

.menfttiono were made.-

ImDortarice Of the study. Two graduate classes,.one in_

a Community Resource Workshop and the other in Introductiori

to Research have spent a considerable amount/of time gather-,

ing and compiling information into a booklet now called

Family tours of Michiana; BecaUse of the number, of requests

thawere made for this kind of information, wherr it Was no

more than mimeograph sheets of,paper, it was felt that. there

must be a .demand. So thA work began and the booklet was

written and printed, to be. distributed as a free piece of

materiel. 7 -

,

Though the Michiana area ii rich in historicnd scenic

places of interest, many of these places are not visited be-,

theresidents are not aware of them. It was hoped

that bookl9t would,previde this information and fill

this yyta It was developed as an instrument of public ser-

vice, to be used. as a guide by families,'schoolsand11 --

groups interested in Amploring their community.9

. OfSince the booklet wasdistribUtedpublicly, it became

necessary to evaluate and discover if the underlying assumptions

were true.' There was a need to know if the public-was using

the pamphlet and what the various strengt)is and weaknesses

of the materials ware. It could go, "almost without saying,"

that these materials were being utilip by-the public and

It was assumed that most of the people.who utilized 4

th\booklet were people with childrenof school age. Atten-

tion was btought.to a particular Cape of a child who was new0 ,

to this area. This child was from another state and because

he felt out of place, did not adjust well to his new surround-,

'Ths inga. He was given the booklft and became ore familiar' with,

"Michiana". This,'accompahied with other, positive experiences,

'caused his attitude to change for the better.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

One limiting factor which must be considered for any.

study which use a questionnaire is.that of non-response.

Although successful in obtaining 64 per cent response tc:, the

questionnaire,/the feelings of the remainingi 36 per cent wds

unknown.

There is seemingly no way to discover whether these visits

were the direct result of the booklet; neither is there any

.

. -

wafr of knowing whether these, sites have,ll.ctuallybeen visited.

Also, no criteria7'was.used to evaluate the open-ended questions

submitted.

In dealing with the pamphlet; the implication wasitade

that academic achievement may increase in proportion to site's. .

. .

visited. No effective evaluation can be made in this limited

study, Judgments made on educational stimulation of the child's

mind is severely -j mited by the lack of-a buyable.criterian

for evaluating this abstract thought.

naire.. They were also used later to interpret the data collected

c

Quesv-eions 3 6 were included to find out,how free time

was used by the families. Several areas of interest were listed

with a category-Hother" which' could be filled in by the respon-4

dent for inclusion of personal preferences. It was hoped to

,find out how wide a variance- of interests would be.found among

those responds lg:

Since TV has become such a dominant force in contemporary

,society,_one question dealt with the roleof TV as a family

activity and approxirately how much time was spent in viewing' it.

Another questiob gavethe respondents the opportunity .to

list activities they enjoyed doing together.

Since vacations often show w-a correlation with, choice ofk 4

free-time-activities,'lt was decided to gather information on

this asreaor

respondents were liiited to including specific

sites visited in 1972 and 1973.

Question 7 was included so as to note how Apple gathered

thbir ideas on places to go. Specific interes%An the role

Schools need to be kept close to life and the communi-

sense of belonging 'to their Own family have a better chance

of academic achievement. (pWa1111., l973 The aim of educa-

person but rather-to increase his desire for knowledge% \A

trip which includes not only working together but playing and

living together, contributes a-great deal mote than mere know-.

ledge to the subject matter. (Ruth:32) Collings reporte'd in

the Journal-of Education Research, that:

School curricula are Mlbst effective when they.are closely

related to the communities they serve. Boys and girls

danger facing our schools. ,In large shies, especially,

Children fnom families that travel and do things to-

some preparation beforehand, parents can make family tours

a classroom experience;: superior to* any formal one.,. The

parents can become both teachers and pupils and have the joy

of both teaching and learning. (Pearges16)

The children of cours0, have picked up some informa-gon

in sdrIern The parents, can help them make the connection

40between what they see and what they already know. "Every

ki

chile', says Jerome Bruner; Harvard psychologist, !'must have

an opportunity td benefit from what_he learns, not necessari-

ly to put.it to .use but tb'discover the. 'connectedness' of all

knowledge." The parent can help the child, develop chat AlfrecW!'

North Whitehead called' "an eye_for the ,whole chess-board",

'the ability to see how one idea fits with another. A parent

can help children understhnd their community and the men and

women who built it. The impor:tant thing is that children

can be taught to find beauty in nature, in art, and in the

lives of Men and women. (PearceIl6) Also, they learn that

Many private organizations now offer units of study com-,

pletely tailored to classroom use with a minimumof advertising.

(Cooney,33).

In twostudies involving all cities in sthe'United *tated0

of 100,000 or more population, it was determined that'over 90

percent of the school, districts permitted the use offree and

inexpensive materials and less_than 3 percent'specificany

prohibited their use. The principal, curriculum coordinator,

and the individual teacher shared in the responsibility foro

determining the acceptability of these materials. (DuVa11,19728

21-33)

Over 97 percent ofthe teachers, interviewed for a study

by Donald D. Burk, used free materials and over 70 percent of--

these teachers had access to a file containing free materials.

Teachers agree that through the use of current materials stu-

dents become more interested, that they'learn and retain many

'-mcire thing's than ,areA usually learned by traditional methods;

' And that,teaching,itself, while certainly no easier, becomes*,

highly rewarding and satisfying experience. (Burks57,

"Making _A Memory" which evolved from this project was

passed out to members of the Community Besource class and

wasalqo used in conjunction with P.T.A. work. A letter from

Dr. DuVall to Action Line in response to a request from a

member of the community triggered the Making of the Family

Tours of Michiana booklet. In his letter, Dr. DuVaIr informed

them that interested persons could obtain a copy of "Faking

A Memory" by'sending money for postage to Indiana University

South Bend. Because of "the Action Line letter, Dr. DUVall,

and'Narcia'Conrad were invited to appear on Hofiemakers Time .

to give dIslide presentation. This was also picked up in the

Elkhart Truth., As a result,_Indiand_University received Over

three hundiged requestsfor the paper. At this point, Dr. DuVall

thought information of this type in the form of, a booklet would

be of benefit to the community. He discussed this with Wplt

Collins, public relations administrator of and they

decided to contact Arthur Eastman, Director of the Marketing

Division of'the'National Bank and Trust' Company of South Bend.

The bank was interested in the project and agreed to fund it,

feeling that it was a good project of cooperation between

"town and gown".

Agroup of Eleven graduate stuhnts, enrolled in Introduc-

tion to Research in the fall semester of 1972, accepted the

challenge bf expanding the list 'of sites included in "Making'

Dr. DuVall, the material was edited and subsequently printed

as. Family Tours of Michiana.' . .,?

Upon printing, the primary aim was to get as wide a

,44ssemination as possible._It was hoped that this would lead

to afamily type activity where they could learn together more?

about their cultural!heritage and get better educated youngsters

in the schools. Several methods of imimoting the booklet were

used, including an advertisement in the South Bend Tribune

sponsored by the bank, copies were placed in the branch iianks,

and copies were sent feyiee of charge to all Who requested them.

In addition; copies were sent to the directors of some of the

sites listed in the booklet.

Action Lineywas again contacted by a community member re-

questing a source of information about the Michiana area. They

referred him to the book. As a result of Action Line response;

a list of names and addresses was made available to the public..4

Questionnaires. When involved in a research project it

soon became evident that one of the most_diffioult jobs was \

finding ways to gather data and evaluate the results. In the

book Methods'of Research, it states that the questitnnaire is

a major instrument in gathering' data. According to the same

Asource, the questionnaire is most often used when there are

too many people to interview perso411y. This was the case

faced in the project.

After deciding use se the questionnaire the next problem

is the t of,the instrument. In Methods of'Research

there -is i-Ilet of nine recommendations to beused as criteria

for coristructing:questibnnaireso (Methods$61-616)

1. Should be short enough "not to take too much timeand interfere, with the job.

`2. Should have enough interest and appeal to provoke

an answer.ti

3., Should have depth, enough so as to avoid superficial

replies.1

4'. Should have a middle point between being too "sugges-tive" and being too "unstimulating".

5. Should elicit respon4es that are definite but notforced.

6. Should avoid beintoo personal.7. Shoyld not make the individual respond positively.'l8. Should not be "too'narrow, restrictive, or limited

in its scope or philosophy".9. Should cause responses to be valid.

It is also impo`rtant that,,thepurpase of the question-

that the co-operatioriof the people receiving the questionnaire

,

sideration of the respon4nt is of utmost importance. ( Nixon:

486..487) Also, in "Increasing Responses.to Questionnaires and

Structured Interviews" Slocum states that the role of the indivi-

dual,' even though .he be a hard core non-respondent, Should-be

emphasized as to his importance. (Slocum:222)0

Asking irrelevant questions or questions that could be

answered somewhere else should be -avoided. There are two kinds

of questions to be used, the "closed-form" and the "open-end"

questions. (V.,/iebb:190) The "tlosed-form" &re used for defilite

classification; where as the "open-end" qubstion is used to

find out attitudes, report details and events without restric-

tions. (Webb:19D) It Was decided, because of the purpoSe of

this study that both forms of questions should be uded., How-

ever,, the "closed-form" will be in the majority and only two

br thrp.e of the "open-ended"'questions were used. The

.naites should be as short as possible. A'r4s of thumb to

follow i8 that "questionnaires should be only long enough'to

to clear their desks, for the wee end. (Ferriss1247) Prodding,`.,

in the -form of a second cover letter and another questi aire,

along with a deadline date seemed to stimulate responses.

In still another studyit'was found that the cooperation

of .a sizeable organization be enlisted aa test group.

(Leslies348) When this was done an additional obligation was

felt by thekres andent. It was also'important to have the

cooperation of a University, club, or fraternal organization

as it gave a legitimate use, of their letter-head stationary,

and therefore, a feeling of more-importance to the questionnaire.

(Leslies349)

Emphasis 'was put on the importance of telephone calls and

even personal visits to the respondents. (Waisanens211) When

a phone call preceeded the mailing'othe questionnaire, the

numbetof respondents did increase. ,Although this method could

only be, used ff all the people were local and the number to be

SUMMARY

This chapter 'has been devoted to a review of historical

background It was done in order'to provide background infor-

- Zion and rationale for the study.

In general the research showed that tours were .beneficial'

.

to all members of a family. These tours proirided a co-opera-

tive family experience with growth felt not only by the

children, but alsd by the adults.

One way 'of getting,inforMation about tours into the

handsof parents is through free and inexpensive materials.

In reviewing this.literatilre, it was found that the-attitude

toward these materials' was favorable and that they were used.

According to the interviews of the people directly in-

I°: volved in "Making a Memory" and "Family Tours of Michiana",

.*e

-1 ,,,,.._'::'the:consensus was that the information was of value. It

encouraged family activiti(s and improved knowledge of cultural

'heritage.

A great deal of information has been written about the

'-composition and importance of.the questionnaires. The majority

of the-artidles emphasized' the necessity of:the responses.

_ .

faking the respondents feel important and6alize that their

answers were vital to the results, was one of the most:effecttve

-ways of recenlng a good return.

Analysis of questions. The make-UP of the questinnaire

Can be divided into sections---the first section is questions'

1 and 2 dealing with residency and family'size. The general

information learned from these questions was four fold. First.

the qustions allowed the respondent to ease into'the study.

Secondly, they gave a clue to the needs of the thr e groups.

examined. broup'l and 2 disclosedA need of different ypes

'of placed to visit, due to their years orresidency, and family

size, while Group 3 appeared tochoose sights that were les

expendive, possibly due'to the number of members in their

family. Third, the portion of rlfe spent in residence in41.

this area provided a clue as to the respondents general know-.

ledge of the Michiana area. It was the supposition that, those

with longer habitation here wduld use th6 booklet as .a more

thorough guide of places of-interest, orantertainment. Last,-

it 'was also concluded that in the case of roup 3, there was

a needforbecmingacquaintedwiththeirnewenvirement.0

An interesting observatibn should be noted in 'regard to,

tha'residency of Groups .1 and as 70% and 76% respectively

have resided eleven. or more years in this area. No such com--

parison can be made for Group 3 because it should be realized

as newcomers to the; area;that they have not had,time.lo es-

/tablish an eleven year residericy, as only12% of the'Population.

hid in fact reached thatplateau; This does not, however, take

into consideration those newcomers who might have lived here

Family size, though of small importance n the mind of4

-

the respondent, was of significance to the study. Similarity,

can be seen in comparing number of 63% for Group 1, respond-

ing as having 2 to 4 member families, and Group 2 with 65%.

Since family size does inhibit, in our time, those things

available to do monetarily. it was imagined that those with

smaller families would ,be able to visit,the more, distant and

expensive listings, Again Group 3 was different as they dis-

played arrnt% return ahowi2Ag from 3 to 6 members. As before,

it might be assumed that Group 3 Would visit the greater

variety of places on the basis of expense, due to their family

size. For specifics and all percentages refeyo Tables 2 and

as

Again it was interesting to note the variety of activi-

ties thetamily enjoyed.doing together. Therefore Table 9

has been.included in Appendix C to show the breakdown of the

category listed as others in the questionnaire. In this

table, a large contrast can be seen between Group 1, 2, and -

3, in that Group 1 has 83-total responses as listing other.

interests while Group 2 hat 48, and Group 3 has only 17

listings of other activities. The variences may be due to

the fact that Group 1 and 2 has had more time to become in-

volved in various'activities.

Question 6 refers,,,to how the reeporidents spent their

vacations as a family.' Table 10 reveals that traveling was

rated high in all -three groups.. Itas also indicgted from

this question that Group 3 showed a higher percentage of

vacat/on time spent visiting relatives: With the addition

of Part 2 to-Question 6, ih reference to visits made by th

groupvin 1972 and 1973, Table 11'show little travel ex-

perience for Group 3 outside of the Midwestern states,. This

correlation indicates that when traveling, much of this group's

time, in fact, was apparently spent visiting faMilies.. This

might be explained, by the group's recent' arrival in .the area.'

It would seem logical, therefore, that they would have ties

Upon examining Table ?.2, it was interesting to.note that, ,-

.

the state most visited outside,of Igliana and Michigan'was..

Florida. This could be because of the openihg of Disney World

in 1972. Tennessee was the second most visited state, possibly

because'of the Smokey Mounta,ins. °In looking. at Table 12 further

it can be seen that Group 1 has far' outdistailted e other two

After t affirmatiVe reply to the first statement, the

instrument aeked from what sources did the respondent learn

of the sights. Table 14 reveals that threec,sources provided

the bulk of the respondents' information. The greatest per-

centage' in all the groups said friends kad'influenced them

most in tho'ee sites they choose to observe. Reasoning for

this would' be logical because close friends would probablyr$

be-likely,to give person61.accounts of placds they have

visited creating enthusiasm,for others, to egperience the visit

for themselves.'

OT those sites Listed by the., study it is interesting to

note that the great majority of visits were made by all groups

in an area we can refer to eb South Bend, Mishawaka, Only twk

' exceptions can be noted, those being Amish Acres and Cook'Nuc/ear

,Cenier. A statistic `which bears out this assumption is seen

in the five most popular places to visit. .Notre Dame ranked

with 754 of those-responding having visited the campus,

Although' there is no way to inow why It was so popular there

are two major proposals to ,.be examineld. First -- the site is

of great tradti,onal importance and knumn.throughoeut the United

- c

States. A e.econcrTossibility is its attraction in_ the sports

realm. As of, recent years Notre. Dame has maintained a high

athletic rank.'

The four remaining sites clan be divided into excursions

and tours. Pc6awatomi Zoo and Storyland Zoo rated second and

third with 73% and 67% visitation. Children might influence

their parents to visit these sites, thus broadening the child-

ren's experiences. It might also be that these locales' were

visited because of lack of expense and the picnic grounds were

conducive to family fun. The sites rating fourth and fifth

were The 100 Center with al 60% acknowledgment, and Amish Acres

with 57%. There is seemingly no pronounced group visiting any

of the sites except 87% of Group 3, that visited The 100 Center.

A look at the opposite end of the spectrum showed five

sited with less than ten families visiting out'of "235 visits.,

Tba location with the least visitors was the Ambrose Bierce

Home-showing only two families making special note of: it.

Second was the First Shot Marker with five, next was the

Possberg Hot.se with seven, followed by St. John's Episcopal.

Church having eight, and last is the Site of Old Fort Beane

showing nine families visiting. There is little correlation

between location and, reasons for so few visitors. Since no

question was asked as to why they chose these sites, little

assumption can!be made. An interesting point might be that of

these five sites listed, no.place received better than a 50%

reply as to willingness to return.

When rated-by thciSe sampled,- four sites received a 60% or

better ccellent rating -- listing them from highest to lowest.

Cook-Nuc1ear.Center had 72%,-Audubon Sanctuary }Tad 70 %, Morris

Conservatory 68%,. and the' Beiger Home 60%. Here again no

,correlation can be seen as to why they sere highly rated, be-..

cause these locations are not related geographically -, culturally

or monetarily. In the cases of the_ABdubon Sanctuary and the (,.//

Beiger Home the visitor is limited to the time each site is

open. When looking at the excellent rating these received we

must also consider the opposites rated poor. 'The site receiving

the poorest rating was the Powell House.

In compiling data such as,this,it is always in erestina

to note the willingness of the responden,t to retur to a site.

Of the 50 places listed, little more than 26% ol these places

shorted that 80% of the respondents were willing to return at

a future time. The location receiving the highe6t rating was

the South Bend Art Center with 88%;of the 66 respondents saying

yes. There were three significant sites-that families did not

wish to revisit. The poorest area was the Site of Old Fort

Beane, which lacked visitation in the first place and had only

.22% of the respondipg.population willing to return. Next was

te Powell House -- this site had shown the poorest rating by

those visiting, but there Wes.27% wtio would return. The highest

of the three was the Mossberg House with 29%; it also had a

low number of visitors.

When examining tile sites listed to find a trend in places

visited by each group, we find there isnone. This may indi-

cate that the gtoups,eximined,reptesented a general cross-_

sectioniof the touring families interested in their local

area.

SUMMARY, FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS,

ThOinal\chapter.of thi study is divided into three

. parts. The first section deals with background informati

including the problem, historical. background,*review of re-,

lated literature and methodology. The next secton deals

with the findings of the'tudy. The third and anal section

includes conclusions and.redommndtiotior further study.q

Srmary. The pr2blem of this study was to assess the

effeclivenessA the booklet, Family Tours of Michiana. This

,booklet was compiled by a group of graduate students of Ind-

Jana University of outhBend and edited by Charles R.,DuVall,.

associate professor of Education. The main purpose ofthis0

study was to determine the number of sites visited as listed

in the booklet. Another purpose-was to gather information on

the importance of the-various places listed.

Historical Background. It was felt necessary to find the

steps taken by the two previous classes who had gathered perti-

nent material that had subsequently evolved as Family Tours of

Michiana. Members of both graduate classes were interviewed.

Other individuals were'also interViewed because it was felt

that their knowledge was important to the development of the

- study.

Related Literature. A review of related literature re-.

Vealed that other studies Of this kind had not been-conducted.

Therefore this study included, inforrnati'org cfh field trips and

family,,toura4 Information was found concerning family trips

because th ooklet was distributed'as such. The p ntial o.f

fte. e and inexpensive materials was notirealized by mqst pedple

who received them; but it was found-that these materials are

used today to a much greater extentthan inAthe past.

Some review of literature was done on the deve opment if

a questionnaire as it was the instrument to be used to evaluat':

this booklet. -

Eethodology. An instrument was designed by using both

open-ended and closed ques!tions. A total of questionnaires

were sent out. These Were divided into threV groups. Group

one incluc those who received the booklet'from IUSB; GroupI

two received it from The First National Bank; and Group three

received through the Newcomtr's Club, The replies were analyzed

in percentages to determine the' length of time, the respondents

were residents in the area, and frequency of visits made by

,t respondents.

Findings. An analysis of the findings showed the following ,

results;

1. There was a total of 64% response. From this, certain

generalizations were Made..

2. 46% of the respondents used the booklets as a source

of infOrmation.

3. A majoritysof the respondents indicated a willing-*-

ness to revisit some of the sites.

4. A wide vriety of interests is enjoyed by all those

who responded.

5. Approximately 83% of all respondents visited places

of interest in WAiana.

6. Some comparisons were made between the thfee groups.

7. No attempt was made to evaluate the responses to open-

. ended questions (included in Appendix B

Copcliisions. Based:upon the data collected,the followingiF

x.

statement can be made:

1. A majority .of the people who received Family Tours

of Michianaused it as a source of information.

2. 'It was found to be a valuable tool to introduce them4 .

it was found"tha length of residence had a positive

influence on the number.of-sites visited._ 44. ;Finally, there is no known wiry that any educational

value can be measured as a 'result of having visited

'these aites.

Recommendations for Further Study. A favoriblerecom-

mendation was given by the resporidents asking for updating

of material. If the booklet is uAatedueriodically, it would

, be advantageous to increase the sco0 of _the samplini public.

joiorrth also recommendedhat all si4tIrld should 'be evaluated.
