American Teacher Federation
Chicago Hears Pleas for
New Education
at
Chicago. July 2. Need for a
"Weal Point" or an "Annapolis" of
ihe social sciences to train men for
peac e-time economic service to their
ccntry, was cited by Miss Mary C.
H.irker. of Atlanta, Ga.. president of
the American Federation of Teach
ers, at its convention here.
Prof. Jernmt Iavis, of the Yale
Divinity School, joined in advocpung
ssarc general and systematic educa
Uon in economics as a means of solv
ing unemployment and other prob
lems. Both speakers are members of
local unions of the trade union or
ganization which is affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
"To fight a world war," Miss Bar
ker said, "the directing genius of the
nation was organized almost to a
man, within a few months; but to
tight the accumulated evils of our
economic wars we have no method.
"If here and there a few thinkers
and leaders have arisen, they have
i found the inertia of ignorance in the
masses so great as to preclude the
development of enough public senti
ment to induce legislative action.
People have not learned to think in
social terms.
"Social science and more social
science ought to be our curriculum
j slogan. One hindrance to reaching
ithis goal is the statement often made
that economics is a controversial
field and that it is hard for a teacher
to handle problems that involve cur
rent issues. The truth of this state
ment only emphasizes the necessity
for teachers as a class to have knowl
edge and understanding of current
issues.
"When we become more interested
in dispelling darkness than we are
fearful of having the term radical
hurlea at us, we shall be more effec
tive agents ot social progress."
"Education has a moral responsi
bility to acquaint the children with
the major economic conditions con
frontuig society," Professor Davis
declared.. "In the common school
they learn almost nothing about un
employment, its cause and preven
tion." Fundamental causes of unemploy
ment In the United States, the Yale
sociologist asserted, are maldistribu
tion of wealth and low and inter
mittent wages in contrast to high
dividends.
Adult education offers great pos
sibilities for the economic enlighten
ment of the country, declared Fred
Atkins Moore, executive director of
the adult education council of Chi
cago. But if it is to serve this end,
Mr. Moore added, it must be less aca
demic and more informal than it is
at present.
An extended legislative program
was recommended hy Miss Selma Bor
chardt. legislative representative of
the federation. She urged that the
federation reaffirm its stand in frvor
of a federal department of education
for research, but she added, "Let us
scrutinize any bill introduced, so that
there be no language there which
woultl directly or indirectly grant to
the Federal Government any power
to administer the educational affairs
of the states."

Gatty stepped into the arms of a
crowd of "homefolks" for a round
of festivities and receptions, ending

Before they joined a parade thru
the city, the airmen were notified by
Governor Murray that he had made
them colonels on his staff. Neither
of the fliers made a speech but they
answered questions about the flight.
They told newspapermen the most
difficult hop was from Siberia to Alaska.

Salt Lake City Senator Smoot.
chairman of the senate finance com
mittee and co-author of the Smoot -ilawlev
t;:riff act. expr-Hssd belief
that 'hte will be no revision of the
law at the forthcoming session of
congress. Commenting ' on a state
ment by Senator Robinson, the dem
acralic leader, saying an effort at
revision would be made in the next
session. Senator Smoot t-aid:
"I desire to a!l Senator Robin
son's attention to the fact that never
has a tariff bill been ena ted during
a session immediately preceding a
presidential election. T (in not think
for a moment that a revision of the
tariff will be made at this cominc
session of congress. Under the flex
it)le provision of the present tariff
act either reductions or increases
can be secured on specific item;,
without disturbing our whole finan
cial and business structure."
Referring to protests on the
Smoot-Hawley tariff fnm foreign
governments, the finance chairman
charged that Senator rhomas, Okla
homa democrat, had sent a letter to
other countries, "inviting criticisms,
from their respective foreign coun
tries against the provision of the
Smoot-Hawley bill and particular! j
requesting criticisms as '.o whether
the enactment of the bill would af
fect their countries."

Medicine Park. Okl.. Senator
Thomas of Oklahoma pen firmed the
statement of Senator Bnoot that he
had communicated to foreign nations
the provisions of the Hawiey-Smoot
tariff hill in advance of its passage
with a request for inlor. nation as to
how the legislation wopkl affect for
eign trade. The statement of Smoot
criticizing the action, Senator The
ir. as. a member of the senate finance
committee, said was "an alibi for
the effects of his (Smooths' own act."
Senator Thomas clainie& that re
sults of the tariff bill since its pas
sage "justified any action."
"If Senator Smoot and
ministration leaders had
protests submitted by for
eign nations." he said, '

OPERATORS SEEK A WRIT
Omaha. Sam Ziegman and F. B.
Lennahan. much-raided alleged horse
race pool operators, are .going to
court to restrain police from inter
fering with their business, their at
torney. Karl Katelman raid. Lenna
han "s New Orpheum cigar store has
been raided nine times in the past
few months but he has never been
convicted of any offense.
Until recently Ziegman's Baseball
Headquarters cigar store was the
target of the poiice morals squad.
About once a week Paul Sutton, in
sp actor of detectives and head of the
squad, would back the wagon in
front of Sam's place and give Zieg
man and all his customers a ride.
Sam was COBVleted several times
1 in police court but beat every c:ie
except one upon appeal to circuit
court. When District Judge Hast
ings granted a permanent injunc
tion against the Baseball, Sam said
he folded up.
Tuesday evening the morals squad
raided both stores and to show they
were playing no favoiites arretted
operators of four other alleged gam
bling hnuEes. Sixty pel sons were ga
thered in.
Katelman asserted he- would ask
for an order restraining the ; lid
from further activity and hinted
that he may also sue the city for
damages.
Police Commissioner Roy S. Towel
conferred with Sutton Wednesday
and is understood to have suggested
that the squad change its tactics.
Police judges have been refusing to
convict on ill-governed house char
ges because of the lack of convin
ing evidence, they said.
