The old Oliver Goldsmith school
building as Maxwell and Desplaines
st. has been offered by the school
board to the city to be used as a tenn
pOrary hospital for drug, victims. Yes
terday a committee composed of SUI

them refused. They said it would be
impossible to give the treatment nee
essaTy for their recovery in an insti-
tuition crowded with other patients.

LABOR URGES THAT ONE
SCHOOL SYSTEM BE KEPT

CHICAGO.-In a circular just issued
by officers of the Illinois State Fed
Grafton of Labor, it is stated that:
THE trade unionists of the state
must look to the safety of our public
school system. A systematic attack
on the present schools is being made
under the direction of Edwin G. Coo
ley, the educational adviser of the
Commercial Club of Chicago, with the
purpose of inducing the state legis-
lature to establish separate or dual
system of schools for industrial train
ing distinct from the schools which
aim to give the broad general educa-
ton necessary to a progressive citi-
zenship.
"The Cooley idea is to divide the
school children into two separate and
distinct classes, after the fashion
which has prevailed in some Euro
pean countries One class is to re-
ceive a broad education for citizen
ship, the other-that consisting of
the children of the workers-to be
given a narrow training for service in
the industries.
Separate industrial training schools
may develop the producing capacity
of the coming generations of workers,
though even that is doubtful, but such
schools cannot, in the very nature of
things, develop the powers and facul-
ties which will enable the workers to
act in the way best calculated to
secure for themselves the value of
that which they produce"
The Washington socialist. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1914-1915, 1915-02-04

Let each and every working man act
along the lines above stated. All of
you who are Socialists should agitate
the matter i'll your local meetings; you
will get lots of support
Instruct your delegates to the Cen
trail Labor bodies and all other niece.
ings of the working class. Do all you
can to get your organization to act
collectively and individually. Let ev-
cry working man forsake the capital
ist papers and support the Socialist
and Labor press. In other words, let
us quit our scabbing and support those
who help us.
Now, brothers, please listen. Don't
simply read this and then go to sleep
again; but act upon it, in your home,
in and out of the shop or wherever
you work; and don't forget your dele
gates at the next regular meeting and
all subsequent meetings also. Keep
it up! Be persistent! Keep on going
until the press is eventually taken out
of the hands of our exploiters; then
they will be shorn of one C; the great
powers by which they keep us in ig-
norance and slavery.
