The oreatest Love.

No language can express the power
and beauty and heroism and majesty
Of a mothers love. It shr1nks not
where man covers, and grows stronger
where man faints, and over the wastes
Of worldly fortune sends the radiance
Of quenchless fidelity like . star IN
heaven.-E. H. Chaplin.

COCHRAN'S COMMENT

WI 44NEA4N ~ ON4V44V4A4N
LOEB AND PEACE.-The Tribune
says: "The reelection of President
Loeb, in the face of unjust attack
and misunderstanding, ought to
make for peace and cooperation
among those who wish for construc-
tive reforms which will work out as
planned"
Under Loeb policies thus far deVel-
Oped there can be no peace. His re-
election means war that cannot re-
suit in peace until the dirty hands OF 4
dirty politicians are taken OFF the
public schools and the merit system
as to the employment of teachers is
restored. No plan of constructive re-
form has been announced. If there
is any such plan it is a secret plan;
and any plan that is secret is danger
GUS. When teachers who are good"
efficient" and superior" are dis
charged without charges being made
and without hearing, the public
school system is in danger. Two in
fUences have been at work back of
LuC OO-Cdl1Cu J4c1l VI COL0IA uCN4'C ~
form. One is the anti-CathOlic
movement and the other is the deter
mination of Big Business to use the
public schools to give the children Of
wage-workers one kind of training
and the other children another kind
of training. The first influence is
religious and has been used to help
the Big Business influence accom-
plish it's purpose. The religious in
fiuence has been used to herd Prot
estant voters together to keep Loeb
and his tools in control of the school
board; and the method has been to
make friends of the public school
system believe that the Catholic
church has sinister designs on the
schools. Yet the real fight has been
on the teachers who are members of
the Teachers Federation, an organ
izo ton which hoe Hofondnd tho Y01Th
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-12-08

from the Chicago and American Fed
eratiOns of Labor. The real Offense
of the teachers in the Federation is
that, with the powerful backing of
the labor organizations, it has been
too strong as a protecting influence
over the public school system and
has made it difficult for the manu-
facturers to get the vocational train
ing legislation they want. Besides
this, the Federation has offended the
Tribune and News by exposing those
papers and letting the people know
how the public schools were robbed
by that infamous midnight session of
a neWspaper-controIled school board.
There can be no peace until the
right of school teachers to organize
is recognized. There can be no peace
until school teachers are free from
partisan politics, free from fear of
losing their jobs unless they become
political puppets of school board pol
iticians. There can be no peace I'M
til the good, excellent and superior
teachers who were victims Of rotten
politics are put back on the job and
the merit system restored. There
can be no peace so long as a Jake
Loeb is political boss of the public
schOoIsystem.
