An Adequate

WE have built up an army of
child laborers in this coun
try that has reached such
proportions that one child out of
every six between the ages of ten
and sixteen is mustered out of
school and draft
ed into the army
of wage earners
as a little indus
trial conscript.

FIFTH GRADE. O. R. LOVEJOY.
We are trying to build up a great
civilization on the basis of fifth
grade efficiency.
We have heard much of compul
sory military service, and it is use
less to deny the fact that conscrip
tion is at our very door. There is
one kind of conscription to which I
wish here and now to subscribe—an
educational conscription—insisting
that every section of the country
shall be equipped with suitable
schooling facilities and insisting
that every parent or guardian shall
see to it that every child is forced
to make use of those facilities. If
we really want to prepare as a na
tion LET US ABOLISH CHILD
LABOR, BLOT OUT POVERTY
AND EQUIP A REAL EDUCA
TIONAL SYSTEM IN EVERY
STATE IN THE UNION.

to a point where it will realize and

justice and righteousness first. WE
WANT TO REALIZE IN OUR

The primary job of the teacher is
to explain to the pupil clearly and
emphatically that above all else
what we need today is civic intelli
gence, not efficiency—that is inci
dental-intelligence that will make
the boys and girls into men and wo
men with a sufficient grasp of pub

see that the present control of pub

our whole standard of democracy,

charge of Man With Dapandanta.
O. J. Wilson, an undertaker who
helped to exhume the bodies of the
American troopers killed at Carrlzal |
and who arrived with them at El Paso. I
quoted a Carranza soldier as follows:
‘“You should have seen the white
teniente (Lieutenant Henry Adair) fight
He was just a boy, slim and weak
looking, but he fought us like a mad- I
man. He operated bis automatic pis- j
tol until It seemed like a machine gun. j
and when its work wus finished be
threw It at us and seized another from
a dead trooper and fought us harder
than ever. He was wounded, but still
his bullets rained among us until one
of our shots tore Into his chest and he
dropped dead.’
“The Mexican.” continued Wilson,
“pointed out the spot where Lieuten
ant Adair fell. Before It were strewn
thickly the carcasses of Mexican
horses, whose riders had been shot
down by the officer. The soldier said
Lieutenant Adair thus, single handed,
mowed down a cavalry charge of the
Mexicans, fanning his automatic from
side to side.
“Shells were strewn everywhere
about the place where Adair died. His
fight must have been one of the most
gallant ever made by an American of
ficer against hopeless odds."
Without knowing his son had met
death, Samuel Adair, father of Lieu
tenant Adair, died at Portland, Ore.,
after a lingering Illness. His last
words were: “Henry Is now a cap
tain. lie has received his promotion.”
Lieutenant Adair was to have been
made a captain on July 1. Father and
son probably will be burled at the same
time.
How Discharge May Bs Obtained.
Enlisted men of the national guard
In federal service who have one or
more relatives dependent on them for
support may obtain tneir discharge
upon application to their department
commander.
Secretary of War Baker put this rule
into effect as the result of letters to
the war department pleading for the
release of militijiiueu whose wives or
other relatives were left in straitened
circumstances. "
The rule applies primarily to mar
ried men, but is so framed as to in
clude unmarried men with aged par
ents, children or other relatives de
pendent on them. The number of men
in the enlisted militia who can avail
themselves of the order is estimated
by the war department at less than
2,000.
Secretary Baker notified General
Wood at Governors island and the oth
er department commanders that the
soldier must tile a petition to be dis
charged and must furnish proof of the
dependency.
But if department copimanders learn
of soldiers who ought to apply for the
discharge they must Inform the sol
diers of the right to apply for it, the
order reads.
Education Boards Should
Be In Sympathy With
Public Schools
By Mr*. ELLA FLAGG YOUNG,
Former Superintendent cf Chi'
cago Public Schools
---
THE greatest difficulty of a su
perintendent of schools is to
get for the teachers the right
and freedom for the power of
thought. The members of educa
tional boards are men who have not
come in close contact with the
teacher and do not understand their
point of view very often.
I have a theory, although I do
not suppose many others will 6hare
it, that uo person should be on the
board of education who did not send
his own children while they were of
school age to the public schools.
Only the man who believes so in
the system of public schools and no
one who because he has money puts
his children in a private school
should hold such office.
THEY CAN’T HAVE SYMPATHY
WITH THE AIMS OF THE PUBLIC
SCHOOL UNLESS THEY ARE VI
TALLY CONNECTED WITH IT.
