Socialists And War

An address recently delivered by
o. r. Washburn of Iron Hill, Md,
before the Arundel Club of Balti-
more.
When the war began lovers of
peace entreated the kings to stop
it; the kings did not. They asked
the bankers to stop it; they would
not. They asked the Christian
Church to stop it and it failed.
They asked God to stop it and He
would not. Then they blamed the
Socialists.
Could they have stopped the
war? There are about thirty mil
lions of Socialists in the world. Of
these two and three fourth millions
belong to the Socialists Organiza-
tiOns; they are registered. dues
paying members. A total of twleve
millions have the ballot. Eighteen
millions are disfranchised bacau~
of sex, poverty or tyrannical forms
of government. With a population
of one billion six hundred million
the earth has comparatively few
Socialists The twelve million pol
itically effective voters are scatter
ed through twenty-three countries.
The nations now at war have eight
hundred millions of people. In
those nations there are sixty-seven
people who are not Socialists to
every Socialist voter in the entire
world. Manjfrstlv the Socialists
could not by force, stop the war.
But some countries have many
Soeillists. Let us see what power
they had in each of the nations at
war: These have two thousand nine

there, competing. All the vultures
OF war and the wolves of politics
and trade; fight over the spOils
kept back from the pay envelopes
of earth S producing classes. They
bring to their aid armies and nav
les; they tax the people for war
material in peace and for blood and
treasure in war; fooling them with
talk of patriotism when they mere
ly seek to secure profits from con-
quered territory that may become
their market. The Socialists, fight
ing, know this. Back of that veil
which censorship hangs over mass
murder, the Socialists still protest
and, for protesting, their papers
are suppressed, as in Germany.
Bernard Shaw well said that the
thing for the soldiers to do was to
shoot their officers and go home J;
but he said it in peril of his life.
For the time, the Socialists in
the nations at war fight to preserve
their race groups from destruction,
and they do well until the fight
can be stopped The militarist Slav
with his foot on Berlin, the booted
and spurred Prussian with his foot
on London or Petrograd, would be
tragedy indeed. The Socialists de-
sire peace, though with arms they
preserve the foundation Of such
national life as has grown splendid
in the works of Beethoven, the art
of Millais, the genius Of Shapes
peare and the dramatic beauty Of
Maeterlinck.
If we still blame the Socialists;
that after noble declarations they
are fighting to the utmost, we must
pause before we commit ourselves
to the doctrine that an organization
that could do effective work to stop
war and yet does not do it, has
failed and should be rejected Of
mankind. By that test the great
Masonic order, pledged to unlver-
sal brotherhood, the Odd Fellows
with them i'll power and profession,
must be condemned to destruction.
By that test the Christian church
which includes in its fellowship the
marching hosts Of all who now
make death and tears the world s
chief products, must pass with all
its ritual, confessions, charities
and art BY that test the very
governments of the nations; the
capitalistic, profit taking systems
which hold the common people
bound to daily tasks from which
the few who produce nothing gain
much, are barren and unworthy
products of baser age that should
be banished from the earth. If the
men and institutions that
have no share in Socialism have
ridden red-fOoted or walked with
dripping robes in the blood of the
slain how shall they excuse them
selves by charging upon Socialism
the wrong they have done. The
united financial houses of the
world could have prevented this
war. BY choosing peace rather
than profits they could have kept
the peasant at his peaceful task, the
worker in the mill, and not sent
them to tear the breast Of the earth
with bombs and make a nation into
a graveyard. The blood that drips
from the bayonets falls upon
broadcloth coats and dinner gowns,
not upon the toil-hardened hands
that beckon to the workers of the
world to unite in international So
cialistic unity.

SOME EDUCA-
TIONAL STATISTICS
lnexperience Handicaps
Schools

There has been issued by the
State Teachers Institute Commit
tee, an educational directory for
the State of Delaware. 1t would
be well if this directory could be
placed for critical study in the
hands of every citizen of the State.
Not only does it give detailed in
formation concerning the manage
ment and routine Of the State sys-
tenn of education, but it is deeply
significant in its complete data con-
cerning the status of the rural
teachers. According to the tabu-
lated lists there are one hundred
and eighty teachers IN New Castle
county, of whom twenry-seven are
employed in the schools for negro
children. OF this number, sixty of
the teachers in the white schools
and twenty-one in the negro schools
are teaching their first year, with
no previous professional expert
ence.
In Kent county, there are two
hundred and nineteen teachers; one
hundred and seventy-nine Of these
are in the white schools. Eighty
five of the white teachers and
tWentyseven of the negro teachers
in the county are in the first year
Of service.
The conditions in Sussex county
are worse than in either New Cas-
tie or Kent in regard to length of
service. Sixty per cent of the
three hundred and one teachers on
the list in that county are getting
their first experience at the ex-
pense Of more than one-half of the
schools there maintained Add to
this the handicap of irregular at
tendance, and the magnitude of
DR.. Charles A. Wagner's problems
Of education in Delaware can be
partially understood.
From the new directory we
quote:
"The short tenure of service is
a serious drawback to many of the
rural schools. Many of the young
teachers in addition to making the
country school serve their appren-
tlceship needs, regard it as a tenn
porary makeshift until something
more remunerative is offered or
they get married. Only those who
have lived long in community
and who have made a conscious eff
fort to know it, can really articulate
harmOniously the curriculum of the
school and the social, ethical and
economic needs of the community.
The time is coming when the train
ing of the rural teacher will be diff
ferentiated from that of the teach
ers in cities, and when it will be
pedagogical heresy to accept the
belief that when the requirements
for the former can be any the less
comprehensive than for the latter.
The teaching profession must al
ways have its recruits in large
numbers and the future has Won
derfps opportunities in store for
th~so'l III the way of social service.
Everybody knows that they must
gain their experience in the school
room. No amount of technical
theorizing in the development of
model lessons can take the place of
the vital experience of contact
with real flesh-and-blood children.
But none will gainsay the fact that
to place one half of all the schools
Of the State in charge of wholly
inexperienced teachers is to do a
great wrong to it's childhood and
to threaten seriously the standard
of intelligence in the future.
