NO CLASSES
BEWARE CAST IN
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Those of our readers who do not
yet realize the Importance of school
elections az affecting the workers, are
invited to read the following press
dispatch, run in all the dailies:
Education of children of
poor parents above their condition In
life should be stopped as a means Of
improving social conditions" DR.. VIM.
A. White, superintendent of n federal
hospital for the insane at Washing
ton, ID. c., said ut meeting of the
Massachusetts Mental Hygiene asso-
citation. The girls who go to school
and learn n little algebra, n little Lat
In, some history and some music, he
said. are spoiled for their positions
In life and are no good for anything
else The same Is true of a child
born to brlcklayer. Vocational
psychology is needed to apply the
proper instructions.
The above quoted sentiments are
taking deep root all over this trust
ridden land, and the rapid rise of n
moneyed aristocracy in the u. S. A.
will tend to a radical revision of our
school system downward - for the
workers children.
The importance of this new devel.
opment in our educational system Is
being recognized by the labor press
generally. The Tacoma Labor Advo-
cate said in a recent issue:
at appears that there is an effort
on the part of some in this country
to bring the workers here to a com
mon level with those in India, so far
as education and cast are concerned.
ut also appears that the only prac-
ticable hope of the workers is higher
education - whether this is liked by
the employers or not. 1t appears
also that if the workers would have
their children or themselves educated
they must take a firm hand in edu-
cational work and management. Fur
thermore, it appears that this can
be done only by placing representa-
tives of the workers on the school
boards.
There are few of the working class
who have wages and hours which
are really suitable to natural, nor
NAL living conditions There are few
of them who have had justice and
equality in the matter of educational
opportunities. Better education will
mean better conditions for the edu.
Gated ones all other things being
equal
"The workers must avoid segrega.
ton in the matter of cast and they
must demand equality in matter OF
education, if they are to better their
Industrial and other conditions.
Now is the opportune time to start
the movement for this equality in
education"

Strickland w. Gillian

Strickland w. Gillian
There stands an old man on the
street,
With shiny elbows, shiny seat,
With harried look upon his face
AS though he bore some deep dis
grace.
Yet all he's done was, years on years
To teach our chicks - precocious
dears!-
For barely what it took to keep
Him in some food and where to sleep
Now in his age, with high-brow tastes
And low-brow bank account, he wastes
His nervous energy in worry,
Unmixed with rays" or "Lindley
Murray"
AS to the way he may provide
For her who's struggled at his side.
Long years ago they two gave up
Their hope of more than shed and
sup.
Their children missed, through pow
erty,
The college life that he and she
Had planned for them. Their dreams
have died
They are engrossed with how to tide
Them over through the long, long
yetls
They're due to walk this vale of tears.
For he-'tis common! Do not sob!
Is due ere long to '1ose his tob!"

Our Move Now
BY Watts


Too many times have the old party
politicians and their henchmen put
over stuff during election time that
has offset all the hard work of the
Socialists been organized to put up
candidates but not organized to elect
them. Too many times have we talk
ed of organization and yet never done
any real organization work.
There Is organization, and organi-
cation. The Socialist Extension
League, just formed in Everett is
organized to carry on a new kind of
organization. The German military
kind. The kind that gets us where
we want to get to. The kind that is
more than name. The kind that
means work, but that work will be so
scientific that the task will be fin
ished in half the time and with great
er results.
| We have already started, at least a
organize every Socialist and sympa-
thizer in the city, or in other words
we are going to get them where we
can find them and where they will
be useful to us. This in itself will
take a month or two, but once 1t is
done its advantages will be great and
lasting.
After the Socialists are organized
we are going to get them all working
on the job of tabulating the rest of
the residents. The tabuation will
give us information such as politics.
religions, union, occupation, etc. We
will then be in a position to scientifi-
cally treat the patient The literature
that we give will be specially adapted
for his or her case. Different means
will be used to treat different cases
But each case will be dealt with sep
arately Experts, specially trained,
to deal with certain patients, will be
sent to straghten out the bad effects
of capitalistic teachings.
This may sound a little off, but
when one stops to consider the many
instances when you have met objec-
tons to Socialism that needed better
treatment than you yourself could
give, you will have to admit that ex-
perts are needed in the movement
This last job will take many months
of hard work, but when finished will
be an asset that will not be turned
down by any body of men or women
The work can be kept up with but lit
tie labor, but the results will be far
reaching.
The Tammany machine will have
nothing on us. OF course we will not
have to use any crooked methods. So
cialism can win with clean hands and
linen. Give us the chance to get our
message to the workers, with all the
menace" taken out of it and we will
win hands down. We must win, be-
cause we are sick and tired of this
damnable system. We must win, be-
cause it is the only thing worth striv-
ing after. We must win, and we will
win, If you will do as much as you
ought to, in the grandest cause the
world has ever known.
We are to have another meeting
next Sunday afternoon in the rear
hall of the headquarters.
On Sunday evening, Dec. IL, we
are going to have big "Get-together"
meeting. Different kinds of amuse-
ments and refreshments. Don't miss
it. It's all free. -
