Voters Should BE Interested

e EW politica contests in the recent history
or Virginia aroused less public interest
than the primary now nearly at hand. wherein
Democratic candidates for the Administrative
Board and other important Offices TO be
chosen. This indifference is unfortunate
Some of it we believe TO he tracca bile to a
feeling unqucstionably existent in some quar-
tiers. that the Administrative Board has not
measured up TO public expectation. Citizens
who had been told and believed that the cs-
adjustment OF the board would rcgenerate
political and municipal conditions. and who
hnd that it has not done any such thing. say
they Will not take the trouble to go to the
polls.
This is great mistake The board in the
hrst place, has done some excellent work and
is likely to do more. If il has not banished
politics. that is because il was not adapted to
that particular reform. Ii is powerful for
good or i'll. and the public interest demands
that the best men that offer should compose

city to go to the polls and cast Il discriminate

The Case Of scott Nearing

D this time Professor Scott Nearings case
- mas become Of national Importance.
When the trustees Of the University OF Penn
sylvania dismissed the assistant professor OF
political economy. they probably had no idea
oi the storm they were raising They simply
exercised the prerogaive OF the employer to
discharge an employee act which is per-
formed as frequently by college trustees as
D.: other bodies OF employers. Professor
Nearing. however. was not dismissed for in
competency, but for his opinions. and this is
the point which has attracted the attention
OF the American press
The professor. least Of all men should be
made to sufer for his opinions for his
opinions are the most important part OF him
The function Of the university--its sole func-
tion--is TO teach the truth. and can il dis
charge this tasl. if its professors are for
hidden TO teach what they think is truth?
Unless a teachers ideas are actually immoral.
he should receive liberal treatment
The teachers liberty is bound up with the
welfare OF the nation. If we do not believe
THIS. let us see what has been the result of
interference with academic freedom in other
countries. In Germany number OF years
ago the government adopted the policy OF dis
charging professors who openly criticized gov
erhmehtal policles--who did not support the
governmental ideas warmly This procedure
has been one OF the chief causes OF that soliii-
hcation OF the German people in certain ideas
which the world finds so dangerous to-day
The Nearing case in itself is a small affair
The fate OF one professor Is no great-matter
But the establishment of a precedent Of dis
mlsSal FOR unorthodoX views on economic and
political questions is large affair and may
lead 10 unfortunate results.
