When the parents summon teachers
to the courts for assault the law is on
the teachers side. for all the evidence
goes to prove that the children re-
fused to become Germanized. Some
times the parents become so ex-
asperated that riots follow. This hap
pened in Wrszesin, where the mothers
of children who had been lashed to
their desks and beaten black and blue
rushed In body to the village school
and thrashed the teachers. The women
were sent to prison. but, on this par
ticular occasion. Henry Sienkiewcz,
the author of "Quo Vadis,n wrote an
open letter to the German government
that was translated into every civilized
language. After while, however. the
hue and cry died down, and the Ger
man government returned to it's former
policy. 1t is still spending millions of
dollars in attempting to Germanize the
Poles, and has now extended its efforts
from the children to their parents. As
soon as bad times force Pole to sell
his farm or cottage a German is put
IN possession, and no Pole is allowed
to buy the property, The Poles struggle
against this law as hard as thev do
against the school prosecutions They
hold 1T such Il disgrace to sell land TO
Germans that those of them who do
so are tried by court of honor, and
if found guilty by brother Poles of
selling, except under great pressure
from the German government, they are
ostraclsed for the rest of their DAYS.

difficulties and enable them to stay on

Teachers Are Treated as
Criminals and Punished
by Russia.
By K. Dunbar

VATARSAW, Aug. 19.-After
NM years of official evasion the
Wv Russian duma has just put
the seal of confession on the
charges that the schools Of Poland are
torture centers of persecution. Tnor-
sands of Poles have felt the force OF
the tyranny in their own experience
but not until now has Russia owned
before the world that Poles who teac =
their mother tongue nrc treated a.
criminals. Yet this state of thing.
exists in clear defiance of the Gar g
ukase Of 1905.
Here is statement of those guilty
Of such "crimes'': All who lend rooms
for teaching Polish; all who aid such
teaching by personal instruction or
donations, all who seek such aid; all
who open school or class without
permission, and all who teach Polish
or any subject in Polish in any private
family 1t must be added that the
second description is aimed at priests
and the wives and daughters of land
owners, who teach the alphabet and
catachism to peasant children. Police
permission IS never given except when
all the subjects are taught in Russian,
and as to private families, the punish
ment falls not only on teachers, but
IN parents as well.
