"American schools have been lax
, ih their realization of their responsibility-
and opportunity. There have
been. efforts to cultivate the spirit
if Americanism by the introduction
of history into the curriculum. In
deed, state-legislatures, are easily
. prevailed upon to pass laws requir
ing schools to teach the Jnstory of
the country. Some have gone so
fir as ' to require the teaching of
' the history of the state. But history,
'especially of the-type common in
the text books, is not a suitable
medium for education in the institu
tions of a democracy. :
v. Discussion is Needed.'
"What is needed in the United
States is a discussion of the every
day life of the comrion people.
What are. the institutions which
'control the production and the in
come of. the common man? What
.are the'forces of government which
! operate when congress is not in ses
'sion?' These are not questions of
tHe remote past and they cannot be
answered by recounting the bio
graphies' of political leaders or the
' story, of wars. ; ' r
" "Let us consider some of the
changes which have come in mod
ern life through the development of
the steel industries' in the '80s.
These chinges have been funda
mental not only in determining the
material surroundings in which we
live, but also in reorganizing the
nation's mode of doing business.
The steel industries have given", us
. a new type of building and a new
mode of business organization.
"Other examples can be drawn
from a study of the executive de
partments of the federal govern
ment The Department of the In
terior, and the Department of Agri
culture have made American insti
tutions. The former has distribu
, ted the public domain in such a
way that American land ownership
"Is absolutely different from that of
Europe. The latter has brought to-
?;ether producers and .consumers'
rom the ends of the continent in
: the intimate relations of mutually
- advantageous co-operation.
. V Face New Task.
"There is a new task before us.
ft is that of using the schools of a
democracy, for the training of a
. broad type of citizen. We must
have new courses in social institu
tions; they must come 'in the curri
tulura at the-time that adolescent
children begin, to have a genuine in
terest in society, and its organiza
tion. ' ' ' r 'i'" . '
"Correspondingly there must be a
new type of training among teach
er. They must comprehend society
iA a broader wy, Jhey must see
something ' of ' social organization
.outside the school and its interests.
One example will serve to make this
clear. If teachers are to have in
creases in salary based on a sound
readjustment of public finance, our
educational leadens - must become
experts in their knowledge of pub
lic finance. In this way intelligence
aboutM?uto!.c mstied-tions will lead
to an intelligent instruction of chil
dren in all social problems."
President W. B. Owen of the Chi
cago Normal school told methods of
making teachers', associations efficient.?-"
: ' ". "'
; Teachers ' Given Credit '
"The advance ofeducation is due
to such associations as this made
up of teachers that have enough ini
tiative to come together and ex
change ideas,, he said. .
"The fullest homegeniety of edu
cation comes from a thorough dis
cussion of the problems that are con
stantly coming up and only ljy that
means Cart teachers' associations be-'

Miss Julia Lathrop of Washington-
D. C, arrived in the city just
in time to deliver her address on
"National Child Welfare Standards."
She is head of the children's bureau
of the Department of Labor.
"We cannot do our full duty by
the Anrerican child until we have a
substantial basis for child welfare
in the home. The child must be
nrenared durinar the years before he

of health. If he comes to schoo.

schools. The schools have been
compelled to turn from their work
of teaching for a time in order to

"The children's bureau of the De
partment of Laborvhas for seven
years been trying to work out a
basis of what the child needs before

lations have been made as to the
cost of maintaining' a family with
a study of infant mortality.
"It is in their first years that chil
dren's characters are formed. It is
a truism that the home makes the
child. '
. "Every year 1,000.000 children be
tween the ages of 14 and 16 years
leave school to go to work. Only
about one-third of these leave
school because they are compelled
to do so by poverty. J
"Our problem is to find how to
keep the two-thirds who are merely
restless and also to keep the other
one-third in school. The latter
realty need the education the most
because they are faced by poverty,
We must convince the parents that
it is to the thild's abiding welfare
to. keep him in school as long as
possible."
Narrow Salary Policy.
'The narrow policy of the state
of Nebraska in paying the state
superintendent, of public instruc
tion and the instructors in state
schools such meager and insignifi
cant salaries," was deplored by the
Nebraska -State Teachers' associa
tion; in a resolution adopted unani
mously yesterday afternoon at a
mass .meeting in the City Audi
torium. .
Other resolutions recommended
that the state department of educa
tion should be controlled by a board
of education selected solely on merit
and without reference to party af
filiations. The state superintend
ent should be chosen for education
al leadership and without regard to
residence, the resolution stated. He
is now elected.
Boost Federal Aid.
."A large program of. social
sciences in the high schools would
be far more valuable than much of
the material taught today," said an
other resolution, which also reconi
mended that the study of American
history, ' American institutions and
civics be made compulsory in high
schools. : '
Circulating libraries and equip
ment for experimental and agricul
tural work irt rural schools should
be provided by the federal and state
governments, another resolution de
clared. ' .
Federal aid to education in the
state was commended and an exten
sion of it asked. A special call was
made to extend education facilities
stilt more to the 33.0OO.00p Amer
icans of foreign birth and parentage.
Commend Last Legislature.
Standardization of education and
intelligence tests wer endorsed.
The action of the executive com
mittee of the association in appoint
ing a constitutional convention corrA
mission was approved and the work
of that commission endorsed. This
commission is working toward in
corporating educational clauses in
the constitution to be drafted by the
coming convention.
The state v distributable fund for
education shoull be increased by
taxation so as to allow $10 per pupil,
one resolution declared.
The work of the last legislature
was commended in providing for all
elementary instruction in the Eng
lish language and for all public
meetings to be conducted in Eng
lish; for the compulsory attendance
law and the health legislation.
Former Premier of
Spain Asks Alliance
With Great Powers
Madrid, Nov. 7. Alliances of
Spain with friendly powers to- in
sure .the avoidance of war were
urged by former Premier Roman
ones in a speech at a banquet here
last evening. '
"I know the hour of alliances has
sounded for Spain," ' the former
nremier said, "but -St is an hour for
alliances contracted by the force of
public opinion in common accord
with the government and the king.
Treaties of alliance with France,
Great Britain and the United States
would be the surest guarantees we
could have to keep out of war. The
moment' therefore has come to es
tablish our bonds, not only with
France and England, but with the
United States and Portugal."
Twelve of Band of Thieves

"Chicago, Nov. 7. Twelve alleged
members of a gang of thieves who
robbed several Chicago stores of
goods valued at approximately
$250,000, were arrested today. About
$40,000 worth of the loot was re
covered. It ranged from bolts of
cloth to sealskin coats,

president, and Frank Morrison, sec
retary of the American Federation
ot i-aDor, Mr. Gompers saw Mr.
Palmer before the latter went to
the White House for a word with
the president and to- outline the
strike situation, to the cabinet,
j The second meeting took place
immediately after the cabinet ses
sion adjourned. It lasted an hour,
and when the labor leaders departed
they were far more cheerful than
they seemed to night. Mr. Gompers
told the attorney general they would
return later and Mr. Palmer inti
mated that Mr. Gompers would talk
meanwhile with Lewis.
Talks With Leaders. K
Somebody asked Mr. Gompers. as
he was entering the elevator after
his third conference, if he had talked
with Lewis. He wheeled about and
snapped out that he could not an
swer that and would not say
anything at all about any of the
conferences or the strike.
Various theories were advanced
as to the apparent difference in the
attitude of the labor leaders after
the second and third conferences.
Returning to his office tonight, Mr.
Gompers remained there for several
hours and was in communication
with labor officials here and else
where.. '
Not much came out of the cabinet
meeting. AH of the members de
clined to sa what was taken up,
although Secretary Glass, a trifle
more communicative, ' smilingly
fumed his questioners away by say
ing it was just an hour and a half
wasted. - ....
Cabinet Backs Palmer.
The standpat policy of the 'gov
ernment and its determination, as
one onicial expressed it, to go
through with the injunction suit"
still has the undivjded support of
the cabinet, it was said, and the ab
solute approval of President Wil
son. The widely current reports
that Secretary of Labor Wilson,
himself a miner, had strongly op
posed court action were not denied,
but it was emphasized that the cab
inet was unanimous against with
drawal of the restraining order un
less the strike was called off.
There was no word from the op
erators, the other party to the strug
gle, and while reports from their
agents indicated slight gains in the
number of mines working in West
Virginia, there was no change in
the general . situation. Director
ueneral times ana ruei Adminis
trator Garfield explained to the
cabinet what they had done to get
coal to the districts where most
needed and detailed reports of pro
duction since the strike started a
week ago tonight were presented,
but not made public.
But in spite of the absence of this
information it was admitted that the
nation's coal pile was decreasing and
officials scanned weather maps to
find whether any real cold wave
was on the way.. No attempt was
made to hide the feeling that the
situation was serious and would
quickly become critical unless some
way was found to get the strikers
back to the mines.
Little Change in Strike
Situation at End of Week
Chicago, Nov. 7. As the first
week of 'the soft coal strike ended
tonight with production generally
paralyzed in union mines, transpor
tation affected and virtual war-time
fuel regulations in force, both op
erators and miners awaited develop
ments in the government injunction
proceedings. "
The seventh day of the strike wit
nessed little change in the general
situation. About 425,000 union min
ers remained on strike, although
coal operators of West Virginia,
where 44 union mines were reported
in operation yesterday, and Colo
rado reported increased production.
Miners' leaders denied the West
Virginia operators' claims and said
only a few mines were working on
the open shop basis. Nearly nor
mal production continued in the non
union fields of West Virginia and
Pennsylvania and in union mines of
Utah and some parts of New Mex
ico, as well as in western Kentucky,
where the miners did not partici
pate in the strike because of con
tracts, i
Two thousand lignite miners in
North Dakota planned to strike in
the morning.
No further reduction in train serv
ice, as begun yesterday in the mid
dle west under authorization of the
railroad administration where neces
sary, took place today, but in rail
road circles it was considered likely
that further suspensions would be
ordered next week unless there was
a rift in the strike cloud.
Priority List Changes .
Will Ease Coal Movement
Washington, Nov. 7. Slight
changes were made in the railroad
administration's priority list to
night by Director General Hines.
The changes ordered make the
movement of coal freer and avoid
some delay in the dispatch of coal
shipments. v
Under the new regulations ship
ments consigned under the first four
divisions of the priority list will be
permitted on straight consignments
without a permit. This includes,
besides the railroads themselves,
government departments, the army
and navy and state institutions and
some industries,

Plumb Explains Plan
Of Railroad Control

nynt takes back to itself these pub
lic highways. .It is proposed that
the courts shall determine the
amount of the investment actually
made, and we would leave it to the
courts to determine the compensa
tion. We would authorize the sec
retary of the treasury to issue bonds
on such terms that they would, be
accepted at par and thus we would
get the railroads back to the people.
"We might want to have some of
the present executives remain, but it
would be under a different system;
it would be a system in which
temptation to be dishonest would be
removed. We create a corporation
for service, raUier than for profit.
May we not safely trust our trans
portation service tq a corporation
composed only for the public serv
ice? The plan is that the govern
ment, the railroads and ; the em
ployes shall each nime one-third
of the board."
Society, Capital and Labor.
He asserted that the three funda
mental principles of a railroad are:
The needs of society for transporta
tion service, the capital invested in
the enterprise and the labor neces
sary to make that capital profitable
and to give society the service it
needs.
"The grant is the people's part of
the investment," Mr. Plumb con
tinued. "Capital is the unexpended
surplus of yesterday's labor. We
have been accustomed to think labor
is something paid for in wages, but
labor is any form of human effort
expended for production. Labor's
power to produce is a living, vital
force.
"The three principles I have re
ferred to in the operation of a rail
road are equal in importance, be
cause if any one is missing, the other
two can not exist. When you have
three interests equal in importance,
then they should have equal au
thority." Discussing the present upward
trend of wages and prices of com
modities, Mr. Plumb explained that
an increase of wages is accompanied
by increase in commodities or ser
vice, and thus the circle is complet
ed and the worker is not benefited
by the increase of pay he receives.
He added that the cost of transpor
tation affects the prices of all com
modities, regardless of. whether they
may' be actually transported.
Cost of Beans.
"Even if the article is manufac
tured at your next door," he said,
"you would pay the price fixed in
New York, plus transportation
charges. I was in Grand Rapjds
recently and a farmer gave me an
illustration of this case in the ship
ment of beans. He sold the beans
for 13j4 cents a pound and forgot
to keep a sack for himself. The
next day he went back to the store
and explained his plight. The store
man looked at his Chicago price
sheet which showed beans at 16
cents per pound. The dealer added
Vi cents for freight charges, al
thought the beans had not left Grand
Rapids, and then added 2lA cents
for his own profit."
"Everv man who produces is a
consumer, and if he consumes he
should produce," he added. "The
two classes that do not produce are
those in the poor houses and those
in the rich houses. A man who lives
on the interest of his money lives
on what someone has produced.
How can we fix, it so that an in
crease of wages does not cause an
increase in what we produce, or
the service we perform?
"Til 1nss of industrial warfare
are as useless and unnecessary as
nVar form rtf warfare." '
Capital Committing Suicide."
"The oresent capitalistic regime
has nearly committed suicide," was
anotner cnaraciensiic i-iumuism.
Refemnsr to the railroads in
another line of thought, he said:
"The railroads said to the men, It
you don't like our terms get another
job.' And thenjf the men quit, the
railroads would say to the public
'We can't give you service because
these men won't work on our terms.'
"And then, as we all know, the
railroads ' would seek the police
powers of the country to help run
their business."
Mr. Plumb was greeted by an au
dience which filled the main floor
of the hall. He was frequently
cheered.
An inventor has patented a boot

formed in two loops, one ot which
is placed around a boot heel and the

be lost sight of. To that end we
must develop a reasonable method
for honest and efficient labor to ac
quire an interest in the business to
which labor is expected to give its
best efforts.- Pending this develop
ment the equilibrium between pro
duction and wages must be estab
lished and there must be justice for
all, exact justice, the justice of right
and of . reason, but not of force.
Justice for all, and do not forget that
the American people still know what
exact justice is.
"The republican party from its
inception has stood against undue
federalization of industries and ac
tivities. There must be strong fed
eral regulation,! but not federal
ownership. We have always en
deavored and still endeavor to find
the middle ground so well defined
as between 'the anarchy of unreg
ulated individualism and the dead
ening formalism of inefficient and
widespread state ownership We
are against paternalism in govern
ment, and we are against that form
of pedagogic paternalism that has
developed recently in this country.
We are v against autocracy as vig
orously as we are against anarchy.
Bolshevism and kaisensm are equal
ly dangerous in industry as in gov
ernment. We are against Dotn.
Will Pass Necessary Laws.
"There shall be legislation passed
as rapidly as possible, and when the
complete republican control neces
sary for full functioning shall have
been brought about, there shall be
legislation executed on all of these
things I have mentioned, all moving
in the direction of efficiency and
economy, for the establishment ot
business in the country on a sound,
safe and sane basis: the solution of
the railroad problem; legislation for
a better relation between labor and
capital, with justice for both. A
law providing for a budget system
for the country's own business, a
method which should have been
adopted long ago and it is inter
esting to note that in the message
of the chief executive last given to
congress he omitted any mention
of a budget system. There shall be
legislation for the development of
trade, the improvement of our dip
lomatic service, the solution of our
shipping problem that we may have
a merchant marine adequate to meet
the development of world trade.
the development of our position on
international relations, and still
other innumerable problems all in
cident to the readjustment which is
imminent.
"Let not our great accomplish
ments in the war be marred by our
inability to order our own affairs.
Mere agitation and mere motion are
not progress. The vicious circle is
not the shortest distance between
honest effort and highest reward.
Remember that one man is only bet
ter than another when he does bet
ter. Give every well-behaved man
his quality of opportunity, and re
quire from him his full measure of
accountability. Live and let live is
not enough we must live and help
live and as you live and help live,
find always exact justice and en
force it."
G. 0. P. Senators Unite
In rohcy on treaty
(Continued From Fajre One.)'
declared, for the senators favoring
ratification without reservations and
those wanting ratification with res
ervations to get together.
By leaders of the reservation re
publicans the possibility of such a
compromise was emphatically de
nied, and it was declared the group
had gone' as far as it would go in
curtailing treaty qualifications.
Feelers had been thrown out im
mediately after Senator Hitchcock
returned from the White House,
these senators declared, and had
been absolutely fruitless. They
were more uncertain as to what
might happen, however, should the
irreconsilable enemies of the treaty
adopt the course, said to be advo
cated by some of them, of demand
ing more drastic reservations as
the price of-keeping the republican
majority intact.
Reservation Preamble.
As it was adopted by the senate,
the reservation preamble was as fol
lows: "The reservations and understand
ings adopted by the senate are to
be made a part and condition of
the resolution of ratifications, which
ratification is not to take effect or

With the same lineup the senate
rejected 48 to 40, two proposals by
Senator McCumber to modify the
acceptance requirement and also
voted down, 63 to 25, a motion by
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, to
require acceptance by all four of
the powers named.
