capitalist rulers dread above all things.
In the second place, we are not
ready to pay the price. The factory
system is cheap. To be sure, it squan-
ders the energy of teachers and pupils,
but it saves dollars. And while the
taxpayer cheerfully contributes hun
dreds of millions annually for army
and navy, and other hundred millions
to capitalist masters, he shudders at
any proposal to increase the school
tax. But when the workers them

for their children the opportunities
that only the favored few new enjoy.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.
BY Edward Engson, Luverne, Min

BY Edward Engson, Luverne, MINI.
The approach of general election
is always significant to all political
parties. Although the socialist party
never ceases it's political activities, it
usually centers it's efforts along the
channels which lead to the White
House and the state capitals, losing
sight of the minor elections. How
can the larger citadels be captured if
the smaller ones be neglected? Why
not capture the smaller Notifications
while on the march to the strong
holds? +
l refer to the school elections.
These are more important than many
realize. The teachers in their various
stations of activities (as rural teach
ers, principals or superintendents)
are placed there by the school boards
or the boards of education.
The educators in their various sta
tions owe their positions to- tne pleas
ure or displeasure of the so-called
boards" Not long ago a teacher in
one of the high schools of Montana
lost her position because of taking an

AS a result the schools will have
the proper text books and reference
works, and Indifferent or biased teach
ers catering to the ideas of the old
philosophy of wealth will see a new
light, and govern themselves accord
ingly.
If you hope to see future genera.
tions free from the bondage of wealth,
hope to see a race of emancipated
wage-salves, then go to the polls at
school elections and cast a ballot for

exploiters OF labor to instiH doctrines

minds of your own sons and daugh-
ters?

nomics may be mentioned. Usually a
biased (unconsciously or by choice)
teacher and a textbook of perverted
or omitted facts gives the student in
adequate ideas of the real struggles
of the workers. For example, how
many students in our public schools
are taught that the famous Boston
Tea Party" occurred because the
profits of some sugglers (among them
John Hancock of historic fame) were
at stake.
Why educate the voter in the class
struggle and not make an attempt to
place our schools where they should
be? But a few years, and this child
is an elector, his ballot counteracting
your own in the great struggle for
economic freedom! To accomplish
this attempt, a few things must be
needed Fill the stations in our pub
lie schools with class conscious teach
ers; men and women who are willing
to interpret the class struggle in the
right light.
To realize this it becomes necessary
to elect class-conscious men and wom-
en- to membership on the boards of
education and school boards.

IN "HILLMAN'S0 PACIFIC
CITY.

The old man was standing with
dropping mouth and rounded shoul-
ders, on the little depot platform at
Pacific City. Upon being asked if G.
D. Hillman, one of President Taft's
most valued friends, had not been the
original booster for the blossoming
burg, he Strengthened up, his eye light
ing up with a responsive glow, and
spoke as follows:
Eyes this here town is Hillman's s
great Pacific City. Great, amt it?
Look at them swamps and mud holes
and steep hills. Purity sight fur the
eyes of the "unsight unseen" inves-
tor Them swamps is covered with
water half the time and the rest of
the time they amt fit fur a respec-
table hog-waller. Hogs, you know, are
particular how burned fur they stick
in the mud. Now, then, look at them
bluffs with the two shacks over yon-
der. Three fellers from Seattle bought
the identicle same piece of dirt fur
$4,000 a piece. Stung amt no word
fur it,
The question was then asked if
Taft's pardon of Hillman was popular
in Pacific City and the man replied:
"Say mister, if all them folks as
bought here was invited to Taft's fu-
neral in Washington, with fare paid
both ways, you couldn't get enough to
go fur pail bearers. I'm beginning to
think that them socialists amt so far
off when they say that this system is
rotten to the core"
The old man proceeded to express
his disgust for Bull Moose reform,
and showed glimmerings of awaken
ing class consciousness. Upon being
presented with a simple pamphlet on
socialism, he promised to read it and
showed a further promise of future
intelligence by saying:
I'm one of them three fellers what
bought that bluff and shack. It's worth
about $2500 instead of $4,000. Pm
getting so as l don't blame Hillman
so much. He only done what he
thought he could get away with and
got caught with the goods It's us
fools that don't know enough to come
in when it rains as makes it possible
fur the country to have its Hillmans
and it's Tafts. Gene Debs got my vote
last year, and I'm going to study so
as to be able to explain why to other
working men as is as big fools as
used to be-"
The car whirled into Pacific City
and the old man was left standing on
the platform with a smile on his face,
with shoulders erect. and with the
glimmering of a dawning hope in his
steadfast eye.

TEACHERS AND SOCIAL CON
DITIONs.
BY Teresa M. Wood.

Whether it be willed or not, the pub
lie school must remain, as it ever has
been, the greatest worker for the cause
of labor. Born and nurtured amidst
fierce opposition from the exploiting
class, itself has been the truest ex-
ample of applied socialism. For where
else can we find less graft and more
OF the milk of human kindness? A
part of this system, the teachers more
than any other class of exploited
workers, are true to themselves and
their ideals. Their efforts can be
most successful accordingly as they
exalt equality. Incompetency they
must overcome, for not one of these
little ones is to be lost or to escape
being made useful Building I'D of
mind and body, hand work going side
by side with brain work-useful and
productive labor taught to all-what
can these produce but a race COM
mitted to the ideal principles of So
cialism?
Years ago the public school talked
education of the brain largely as an
easy path for its students to avoid
physical labor. Now the efforts are
directed along educational lines that
the student may be better fitted for
social service and to exalt and enjoy
his own productivity whether of hand
or brain. Even now does the school
realize that it's pale children often lack
food and is providing it for them.
Naturally this need is followed by the
inquiry as to why this lack in this
teeming land, and educators every
where are reaching out and beyond
the mere school room to a quickened
understanding of life and it's problems.
In this hour we need teachers who
are students of social institutions
whose knowledge is greater than mere
pedagogy, whose eyes reach into the
homes of the students and who study
the terrible conditions that so often ex-
ist there. We need teachers who are
not afraid to face these facts and
study their causes. True teachers
love their children - they wear out
mind and body in a constant effort to
uplift those committed to their care.
To what kind of conditions will they
send these same children when school
days are over?
May we not direct their minds to a
study of social condtions-to the
science of production and distribution
and their inequalities-in short, in
commemorating Lincoln may we not
impress upon them his words, Labor
is entitled to all it produces?"
Thus will their minds be quickened
so that they will commence life with
a determination to alter and improve
these same conditions so that no one
willing to labor will ever be cold or
hungry or in fear of losing his job, or
in dread of oncoming honorable old
age, and so that every one able to
labor must do so if he would avoid
these same problems.
