WANTED-AN EXPLANATION
(EdHor of the Gateway
The phrase, “the ibtpace of Kaia
erism,” in Mr. Rockwell Kent’s crypt'r
article in Thursday ttilHt's Gateway,
strikes me as inconsistent with a hap
pening at the schoolhotise last week.
It was recess .time. I was inter
rupted in reading a book ,by a crowd
of excited boys trooping up before my
desk and clamoring, “fell her what
flag you like best.” They were drag
ging a boy who was a atfiinger to mo*
a rather tall, intelligent looking lad
of about nine years.
“Well, which flag Is itt” I asked
smiling.
“The German,” replied the boy
Never suspecting btft that the af
fair was part of a game, or a bit of
harmless hazing on the part of my
boys, I gave the young stranger a
little slap with my book, saying, will
mock severity; “You'd better not talk
like that around here,” and resumed
my reading.
hater I learned that the boy , who
is no£- now attending the school, wt
. -
ihe son of an excentric artist from ,
New York, living on an island net"
Reward; that he had never been sent
to public school before; that he had
pome knowledge of the German lan
fruage, and that he had meant what;
he said— I recall how earnestly the
vide blue eyes met mine. Later, Mis*
Kendall, a teacher, heard him say#
"I don’t hate any flag except the En
glish.”
How monstrous to hear an inno
cient child voicing the sentiments of
the frightful “Hymn of Hate” whose
author, Lissauer, was decorated by the
world’s arch— criminal.
“Hate of the heart and hate of th*
We havo one foe, and one alone—
England!”
!That Is the spirit which dropped
bombs on English schoolhouses and
hospitals and nailed the shrieking Ca
nadian soldiers to the cross!
Mr. Kent, where did your boy get
these ideas ? .
