Preservation Of Wild Flowers

Mary Perle Anderson, instructor in
botany at Mount Holyoke College,
advocates the plan of wild flower pre-
serves-nOt canned flowers. of course,
though if they were of any earthly
use canned some enterprising factory
owner would doubtless have started
the business-bUt gardens in which
native species may be grown by
trained botanists. Miss Anderson sug-
gests that this would be a good bust
ness for some college girls who are
obliged TO stay at home after gradua-
ton, and arc in need of occupation
congenial to their tastes.
In such gardens wild flowers could
be raised for the use of city schools,
and perhaps for ornamental purposes.
Land unsuitable for other use, such
as swamp and rocky hill country,
would be suitable for raising rare
wild flowers. Ii something of the
kind is not done before long. there is
danger that some Of our most beauti-
fuI native blossoms will disappear
completely
Perhaps village improvement socie-
ties viii take up this idea, as they
might well do. It would be a good
thing for magazines devoted 10 coun-
try life 10 push the scheme. Many
wild flowers Of exceeding beauty will
grow without any special care, if they
are protected from vandals. Such
plantations would afford delight TO
artists and lovers of nature, and
there would be some fun for the
gardener in raising the flowers.

Socialist Labor Logic.

The Socialist Labor party is logical
even if it laChs something of the willy
insinccrity that characterizes most
OF the advanced Socialisuc propagan-
da. The fight Of Socialism is not to
secure the union Of classes, nor to
bring about just ana equitable rela-
doas between capital and labor. Co
operation Of that sort has no place in
its theory Of economies.
The leading claim Of Socialism is
that the battle between classes is an
irreconcilable conflict. Even as CO.
operation between oil and water is
chemically impossible, so, according
10 the sOcialistic theory, is co-opera-
ton between capital and labor eco
nomically impossible. Consequently.
ia response to the law OF economic
necessity, one class must destroy the
other, and in view of this it behooves
labor 10 get there first and destroy
capital by taking unto itself all the
functions OF capital

A School Teachers Union.

The New York World" seems to
be somewhat Mortified at the advice
Of Miss Margaret Haley, of Chicago,
to the National Educational Associa-
ton, to the effect that teachers should
organize. The World" says:
1T will be a long time, we think,
before the American people will toll
crate a school teachers union, with
educational walking delegates and
possibly sympathetic strikes in the
schools when the saloonkeepers re-
fuse to submit to the demands of
Walters and Bartenders' Union No.
4-11-44. The machinery of the
schools viii never be connected with
the machinery of labor unions or any
other unions until the American peo-
pie have lost their senses. The
American public is a generous en-
plOyer, and it will never concede that
its employees must organize and call
in outside assistance in order to OBJ
tain just treatment"
Either the World speaks in ig-
norance Of the conditions under
which schools are managed in some
cities, or it is talking for buncombe;
the latter is probably the case. The
school teachers union in Chicago
originated in desperate attempt on
the part of the teachers to collect
their salaries, which their generous
employer" the city of Chicago, held
up for several weeks. Miss Haley was
instrumental in this movement,
which resulted in the teachers get
ting their money.
In Philadelphia politics plays so
large a part in the appointment Of
teachers that a regular tax is levied
for campaign purposes. Probably in
half the cities of the United States
the schools are so far controlled by
politicians that pull" counts for at
least as much as ability. Consider
ing the part which labor unions play
in American politics it would seem
that the machinery of the schools is
already pretty closely connected with
these engines of iniQuity.
II is unlikely that any school teach
ers' union would ever be mixed up in
a silly sympathetic strike ordered by
the bartenders' union. The pet argu-
ment of those who oppose labor
unions is that the unions are made
up Of foolish and Unintelligent men.
They certainly ought not 10 make
that charge against an organization
g school teachers.
In places where a teachers union
would not result in the benefit Of the
teachers It is not probable that any
will be formed. for schoolma'ams are,
as a rule. a conservative lot. II such
an organization does come into be
ing and flourish, it is probable that
il is needed
