Is that intangible something we call
democracy, and the real meaning of

Mr.. Bentley pleaded that the war
should be considered as first in the
curriculum Of the schools this winter,
even If other subjects should have to
be cut down.
He suggested keeping war map in
the school room, and have children
appointed each day to change the
battle line. Also he advocated hav-

read the current news for themselves
and recognize important clippings
when they occur.
Mr. Bentley spoke with regret that

urged teachers to watch carefully any
means of propaganda which may creep
