PATRIOTISM WOULD PERISH.
Terrible Calamity for Children to BE
Taught to Honor the Name
of Lee.

Cleveland, Ohio. March 23.-Frank
y. Tubbs, principal of the high school
at Martin, a city OF 10000 population
south of Cleveland. Will lose his posi-
ton as the result of a speech he made
recently to the senior class While
teaching history.
Tubbs believes Genera Robert L.
Lee was II of the greatest generals
in the world, aud his statement to
that effect was taken up by the Grand
Army of the Republic, With the result
that the Board of Education has de-
manded his resignation.
Joseph klincfelter, leader Of the
movement outing Tubbs, said.
1T seems rs though the pupils arc
taught to 'reSard the Southern leaders
as even greater men than the North
ern generals: if that feeling exists il
destroys patriotism, for even though
the ability Of the Southern leaders
cannot be questioned. Yet they were
traitors to. the country ANA schoolgirl
dren should never be taught to- revere
their names.
1T is not the proper thing to pic
turG Robert T.. Lee as n success. and
reviewing his brave deeds. Even
though we assume that he was con-
scientious in his work. he was Il trail
tor nevertheless. and the spirit to
modify and glorifE Il traitors name is
not conducive to cultivate patriotism."
