1t is an intricate and ramifying ques
ton.
Celebrated political economists have
been brought to bat when tried out in
the tariff crucible.
Therefore the high school girls
should master its intricacies with
ease.
This is one of the absurdities of oul
public school system.
The public school system is design
ed. primarily to prepare the children
of the nation for citizenship.
But its purpose is lost In a maze Of
fads and non-essentials
And as disciplinary training it has
no force
1t has been said, with what absolute
accuracy the writer cannot state, thai
the high school pupils who enter from
the st. Andrews school are more thor
oughly grounded in the elementary
studies than are those who go to the
high school from the lower public
school grades.
And perhaps this very fact of discip
line is one of the reasons.
In the parochial schools there is q
discipline which is effective.
A discipline which is maintained
without fear or favor and which re
suits not alone in formation of char
acter but in attention to studies.

That's the end of it.

This, naturally, results in a lack of

We WILL NOW HAVE,
A Few Remarks

BY, WALTER B. HILTON

ANOTHER EVIDENCE of the plan to destroy I'M
ions in the Wheeling district lies in the action Of the I'm
peral Glass Company, of Beaire, through its general
manager Victor g. Wcke He has set out to destroy the
Glass Packers Union by demanding that all employees sign
pledge that they will not belong to the union while in
the employ Of the factory -
This is what the enemies of Labor when they
speak of "open shop shop open only to those who
do not belong to any union shop in which the workers
have no voice. shop in which the workers but slaves
with no mind of their and liberty OF expressing it
II they had shop in which the conditions be made
unbeatable and the wages less than the cosof living This
is what Mr. Wicke is trying to make of the packing
Of the Imperial Glass factory.
But he will not succeed The glass packers know
what brutal conditions they forced to endure before
they had unon and they know that with that union gone
their only protection will have been done away WITH and
they will be slaves again. So they will not submit And
the other working people of this section will help them to
fight The day Of openshoppng in the Wheeling district
is gone though Mr. Wicke may not know it. And the day
of Labor solidarity has come though Mr. Wicke may not
know 1t.
The people Of this community will assist Mr. Wicke in
absorbing the information that men who pack glassware
have hearts and minds and families to support just the
same as general managers, and the people will help the
glass packers in securing square deal from even Mr.
Wicke
