The Grand Army of the Republic and
the Woman's Relief Corps long ago real
lied that the schools of the country should
! be made the nurseries of patriotism, where
- e ,,.r,, 81 l,or institutions and
| LOYALTY 10 tbe Flag should be as much a
mart of the daily curriculum as spelling
and the multiplication table. This senti-
ment has been so theoretically put into
effect that there are over 10000 veterans
and members of the Woman's Relief
Corps in the United States today who have
been specially assigned to that kind of
work by the organizations to which they
| triotism a wonderful boost among the ris-
ing generation, and to arouse the older
ones to a sense of their duty along pa
| triotic lines. such as remodelling the his
tories which their children study, and lend
ing every aid possible to interest the young
in the study of the political history of the
Nation. every line of which is interviewer
with the red, white and blue of the flag. o.
France has seemingly walked up to the
nacaSsity of something of this kind. Her
teachers in the public schools are being
directed to instruct the pupils OF Republ-
can France in the history of their coun-
try, that they may see for themselves I'M
der what improved political conditions
they are living. There was stormy hour
in the Chamber of Deputies the other day
when NJ. Suveton, member, attacked the
policy of the Government in permitting
political teaching in the public schools.
NJ. Chaumie. Minister of Public Instruc-
ton, replied that the teachers were max
ing an admirable political propaganda and
were forming good citizens in teaching the
pupils to love the Republic and their coun-
try. "Yes," continued the Minister, we
are encouraging them in dong this. ana
do not think that any Republican Cham
Der can reproach us for so DOING
NJ. Leagues. former Minister of Public
Instruction in Wa1deck Rousseau's Cabl-
net, declared that the neutrality demanded
by NJ. Suveton would be downright trea-
son on the part of the teachers. In ev-
should be the pioneer of liberal ideas. |
do not blame the teachers for vigorously
protesting against the policy of those who
are seeking TO divide France and discredIt
her in the eyes of foreign countries"
These remarks drew storms of cheers
from the supporters of the Government
and many angry protests from the MEM
bers of the opposition. Eventually, res
olution was adopted unanimously approx
| ing the declarations Of the Government and
| expressing the sympathy and gratitude of
the Chamber to all the teachers in all the
primary schools for their devotion to
| France and the Republic"
were to do that now there would be per-

pervading the country. But it won't
NOT while there are Paileys, Tillmans,
Daniels, Blackburns and Jones in the
Senate, and Testers, Livingstons, Rich

hiatus in the history they would have
taught.
