Some More Unrest

Meager reports, thru sources more or
less reliable, strongly indicate that what
is called "the spirit of unrest" is holly
boiling among the people of Spain.
In these times Of volcanic action by
the peoples. 1t would not be surprising
should the Spanish go in for revolution.
They are near neighbors of republican
France and of Portugal, whose king is a
refugee, and they have the recent splen-
did example of the Russians.
Again they're awfully hungry by rea-
son of Germany's unrestricted subma-
rine warfare and they know that their
own autocrats side with Germany.
Spain may not yet be fully ripe for
revolution but she's another country
whose masses are being reduced to star
vRTfOR by the Herman autocrHcy.
Germany is actually STARVING neonleF
into revolution, and if We were a span
ish autocrat, we surely would get down
off the neutral fence.
II certainly is better 70 get dowr
while the getting's good than TO have
your head pulled off in being brought
down.

we Can Applaud This Act
BY Our School Inspectors
As a Work of Conservation

The Times wishes to extend its bes
Wishes and congratulations TO School In
cuector william Harms for INTRODUCING
the amendment TO the resolution passe'
by the board for compulsory military
training in the high schools OF Detroit
which cut out the word compulsory ano
specified that only boys beyond the
eighth grade should be eligible.
The resolution was introduced to the
school board by Superintendent Charles
=. Chadsey who seemed grieved and sur
prised that il was not speedily adopted.
Inspector Harms showed unusual good
sense and an appreciation OF the purpose
of the public schools; also of what the
people in his ward and doubtless most OF
the people in the same station OF HE
desire for their children.
He was ably supported by Inspectors
spaulding, Reinhold, Kruger Neinas'
Heinrich and Komrofsky and by the doz-
en- citizens who sat in the rear OF the hall:
Another thing which, in our opinion,
helped to defeat the resolution was the
plea of Archibald Diack who pleaded that
our children should be kept free from
hatred of Germany, or any other country,
md reminded the board that in another
generation children were taught to hate
England.
Hatred of any race should find no place
in the public school curriculum.
The grand stand play of the high school
cadet, who dashed in at the last moment
and showed in his flashing eye, pale face
and excited manner the effects of this
same training. pleading, meanwhile, that
all boys should be compelled to make
themselves like unto him, may also have
had an effect on the board.
Whatever it was, we are grateful that
Detroit has not taken the initial step by
installing compulsory military training in
its public schools.
We are grateful TO the inspectors who
remembered the principles Of democracy.
We are grateful TO the few citizens who
did their part.
Rather than revert to this sort of
autocracy in the most democratic insti-
tuition of the country, we would take big
chances on the weakening of the patriotic
sentiment which Superintendent Chadsey
so greatly fears.
