Samuel Untermyer yesterday denied

RAISE THEIR PAY NOW!

The cost Of living is high now. 1t
has been abnormally high for the
past year. 1t has been increasing
steadily for the past thirty years.
Promise of a raise of pay for Gov
eminent employees July 1 is better
than nothing. But a relief afforded
their immediate need would be twice
blessed.
All the arguments which con-
WINGED the Senate that the increase
was justified apply equally to the
plea of Senator Weeks that the in
crease be effective at once. Espe-
cially is this true of the low paid en-
ployes affected by the Smoot amend
ment. Theirs is not merely the prob
lem Of getting an equitable wage,

ton of obtaining a living wage.

THE LITERACY TEST

President Wilson seems to be
seeking a way to display a spirit of
internationalism; Cardinal Gibbons
points him to one way of doing that
in his appeal for the vetoing of the
immigration bill.
The civilized world has got over
that stage in its progress when one
city nuts up bars against a stranger
who enters its gates because it does
not like his looks. But when that
citizen comes from another country
this sort of exclusion. based solely
upon considerations Of clannishness,
still persists.
There are reasons for excluding
some citizens who come to our
shores. Everybody is pretty well
convinced that a mans illiteracy
does not constitute a good and suffi-
cient reason. As the Cardinal points
out, "illiteracy should not be con-
founded with ignorance"
Perhaps the most helpful sugges-
ton made by Granville Barker in a
notable address already referred to
in The Times, was that this nation
should recognize that the men from
Lithuania, Poland, Greece, Italy,
and even from Asia, might have

GOOD NAME

Michael Cassio's remarks on the
value of a mans good name are
familiar enough, but it does no harm
70 restste them publicly whenever ILL
fathered circumstances threaten the
public with momentary forgetful-
ness Of what good men must always
reckon. their most precious posses
sion. Such a service Mr.. Otto Kahn
performed in his remarks at a din
ner of men all associated in partner
ships for the purpose of doing busi-
hess on the New York Stock Ex-
change.
Mr.. Kahn recently came to Wash
ington for the special purpose, as he
said, ITO contradict under the solemn
obligation of my oath a gross and
vanton calumny which, based on
nothing but anonymous and ire
sponsible gossip, had been uttered
regarding my name" The indigna-
ton which he and all honest mem
bers of the New York Stock Ex-
change feel over the reckless handy
ing Of unsupported charges of
crookedness are shared by al decent
men in every branch Of commercial,
professional, or public life. The fact
that such irresponsible charges are
made so often that many highminded
persons hesitate to>dignify them by
. formal denial, has become SO great
an evil in our too needless habit of
life that strong stand against the
practice is requisite. Such wanton
talk is an indirect attacl: upon the
delicate-but not fragile fabric of
our national credit, as we'll as an in
tolerable outrage upon the decencies
of civil life.

FOR LEISURE OR FOR
WORK

If the proposal of the Rockefeller
Education Board for an experiment
in education with "the dead wood Of
the curriculum eliminated" did moth
ing else it would be worth while for
the discussion it has aroused on q
vital topic. The report Of the board
has been outlined in The Times.
Briefly, it contemplates the removal
of every subject which is preserved
only because of educational tradi-
ton, for which a clear case of future
utility cannot be made.
The defenders of the cultural"
idea in education attack this plan.
That was to be expected. They as
sert that something more is to be
demanded of public schools than in
struction in how to carr living.
The trouble with most of the con-
troversy so far is that the critics
seem not to be cognizant with what
is being attempted. Not even the
radicals among educators, DR.. Abra-
ham Flexner, for example, frown
upon all the supplemental cultural"
education a pupil may desire. They
do maintain, however, that the first,
not necessarily the only, business of
d school is to prepare its pupils to go
out into the world with an estab-
lished earning power.
Formerly it was the Government
that was uniformly blamed for every
shortcoming in our social system.
Recently the attack has been turned
upon the schools. Many Of the things
for which the Government and the
schools are blamed have not a great
deal to do with either, if traced back
to their sources. 1t is conceivable,
for example, that when business men
complain Of the untutored youth who
seek to enter their employ, that the
industrial system may be as much to
blame as the schools.
The big point to discussions like
that engendered by the Teachers
College experiment is they encour-
age folk to think what education
means. Are the schools to educate
for leisure enjoyment only, then
turn pupils loose upon business men
who must furnish all their training
for every day life in the business
world? Or are the schools to edu-
cate for work only, and then trust to
other influences to enable workers to
use their leisure hours Alright?
Obviously both sorts of education
ought to be provided in any system
of free public schools. Then comes
the question of whether they may go
hand in hand, whether one is to be
taught first, or which one is to be
stressed the more. These are some
Of the questions the persons who talk
and write so glibly about vocational
education should ask themselves. It
is extremely important to learn just
which way our education is going,
and which way we want it to go.
