RAPS STATISTICAL WORK

Columbus, Ohio.-State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction Pearson
is opposed to too much ado about re
port and score cards and other sta
tistical work by teachers.
at is far better to be maker of
statistics than a mere gatherer of sta
tistics," he says, Indeed, this whole
matter of statistics is incidental to the
big work of teaching. 1t is one thing
to be a technician and quite another
to be a leader and teacher. Our best
service to the schools will come when
we exalt the teacher and the teaching
to the highest degree and reduce the
machinery to the last degree of sim
plicity."

RADICALISM-WHAT rs IT?

Webster defines radical as pertain
ing to the root or origin; also, in mod
ern politics, a person who advocates
a radical reform. Nothing particu
larly bad in this, is there? The world
would be better by far if more peo-
pie went to the bottom of social ques-
tons before forming and giving their
opinions as to the proper way to
make conditions better for the whole
people. One cause of misunderstand-
ing is that some people hear what
seems to them radical reforms advo-
Gated, and without taking the time to
go to the bottom of the question, they
condemn it and the one who advo-
Gates it, while if they did investigate,
they would, within themselves, admit
that it is best for the masses of peO-
ple-they might not wish to see it
made effective because of a belief
that it would interfere with their
financial, political or religious posi-
ton which they wish to maintain.
This is purely selfish reason, how
ever, and in the end what benefits the
great majority ultimately benefits
every individual. Nothing but good
can ever result from going to the
root or cause of anything, of any
question Any reform offered that is
not good for the majority will not be
accepted, or if accepted, will not be
long maintained if the majority UNI
derstand--if they study the causes.
True education is radicalism. This is
the reason some of the selfish big
interests do not want the whole truth
taught to the common people-to the
masses They know that study will
result in radical changes in social
affairs which will mean less of power
to the few and more of power to the
many-will result in greater equality
in all ways. The workers generally
are seeking the root, or origin, or
cause of all things-they are becom-
ing radical. not destructive, but con
structive.-Ex.

Trinidad Colo. District Judge
Wiley has dismissed perjury charges
against Horace N Hawkins and Fred
w. Clark.
AT the trial of John r. Lawson, who
was convicted by jury in the court
of Judge Hillyer, ex-coal company at
torney, a juror made affidavit that
undue influence was used against
him by the court and the court bailiff
to secure this conviction. This state
ment was used by Messrs. Hawkins
and Clark, Lawson's attorneys, to Sc
cure a new trial. Later the juror
made a second affidavit in which he
withdrew his first affidavit and
charged the miners attorneys with
causing him to testify falsely.
Judge Wiley has refused to support
the claim of Attorney General Farrar,
who is conducting the prosecution of
the miners, and who has worked in
cessantly to nullify the effect of the
jurors first affidavit.

Industrial Unrest
Indicates Progress

ington.-Industria unrest is a
sign of progress, said A. F. of l.. Sec
rotary Frank Morrison in statement
to the public press on present-day in
dustrial conditions.
There is a greater unrest on this
May 1 than has been manifest in
many revious years." said he. ITO
some this condition is alarming. To
me it is encouraging, for l believe
discomfort is a sign of life-of prog
ress. Workers are demanding an
eight-hour day, and I venture the
opinion that most of the large strikes
today, either now or prospective, are
because of this shorter workday de-
mand.
thinking men are agreed that long
hours are economical for no one.
Physicians are agreed that long hours
exhaust the body cells, making it i'm
possible for them to function, thereby
destroying mans vitality. Workers
will continue agitating, organizing and
striking until the eight-hour day is
assured.
at is impossible to estimate the
number of workers that will be on
strike May 1, for the reason that dis
content cannot be tabulated or placed
in statistical form.
"a factor in developing present con-
ditions is the decreased number of
aliens who have come to our shores
since the European war. This has
weakened the policy of many en-
ployers in trustified industries who
have maintained unemployed armies
at their factory gates to menace those
employees who would better their con-
ditions.
"a considerable percentage of the
unemployed have secured employment
as a result, although the unemployed
question is still acute among those
employers who are determined to pay
less JIldu llFlHS Wage, dllu WIZ 10
more present-day living standards.
81 have just returned from Pitts
burg, where the manufacturers have
combined and published an advertise
ment, in which they state that after
due consideration they will not reduce
working hours in their respective
shops. This includes the Westing-
house company, whose emloyes are on
strike for an eight-hour day. In
Youngstown, Ohio, the manufacturers
have joined together, and in a page
advertisement stated that they would
not concede improved conditions and
have agreed to close down their estab-
lishments with the understanding that
their employees must make application
individually for unemployment.
at is worth nothing that large num-
bers of strikes are now being wages
by unorganized workers, who later
join the trade union movement when
they realize the necessity for organ
ization, discipline and intelligent
action"

have been ridiculed and severely con-
demned their virtues and achieve
ments have been steadily and silently
effecting the organization of the
working men and working women.
Whatever adverse criticism may be
justly leveled at them because they
have not always reasoned along the
soundest lines, they have accom-
plished more for the industrial better
ment of the workers in a compare
lively few years than the highly edu-
Gated have in twice as many cen
turies.-West Virginia Federationist.

Treasury. to show cause February II
why he should not be enjoined from
paying over $S.505.s6 due the Break

forming the contract the Breakwater
