/ might fittingly be offered as the first
course in American political ideals. In
the assembly hall will be offered every
night lectures and entertainments for
the education Of the public mind.
The purpose Of these lectures and
entertainments, constantly in view,
will be to bring out wildly the fact
that our distinctively American prin-
ciples and practices of government
Of opportunity for people from
everywhere. In short, the entire plan
of lectures and classes in the Peoples
College will be a program of Ameri-
canization. All the work will be given
in the English language and without
any charge whatsoever.
In the providence Of God we Ameri-
cans have now assumed some totally
new obligations towards the world
to free the world from fear and TO ele-
vate man TO a realization of his own
nobility. Democracy has a much
| deeper meaning now than it has ever
had before in the worlds history. 1t
is therefore fundamental to the reali-
zation of all our hopes of refreshing
the life of the world that we should
consecrate ourselves anew with a
deeper intelligence and a wider SYM
pathy to the cause of human liberty.
We need all to become stalwarts in
the love of liberty as were the builders
of this nation who voiced their faith
in the third articIe Of the ordinance
of 1887, adopted BY the Continental
Congress for the government of the
territory northwest Of the Ohio river,
and signed by George Washington, in
these words. ~
Religion, morality and knowledge,
being necessary to good government
and the happiness of mankind, schools
and the means of education shall for
ever be encouraged"
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-06-22

Denver is to have the first distinct
lively Peoples College in the United
States. The plan was outlined at
meeting of the Trades and Labor As
sembly Tuesday night by Chancellor
Henry A. Buchtel and w. G. Evans,
chairman board Of trustees, Of the
Denver University. The privileges Of
the new Peoples College are free to
all who accept its opportunities. It
will be located on five lots facing the
Civic Center and be conducted as an
strictly non-sectarian.
The Trades Assembly delegates
voted unanimous approval and hun
dreds of labor men and women VIII
be quick to accept this opportunity
for acquiring knowledge. It is the
plan TO open the Peoples College next
September and keep it going every
day in the year.
Following is the program as outlined
by Chancellor Buchtel:
To Make Democracy Safe for World
The war for the freedom of the
world has brought many surprises.
No one of them has been so alarming
as the fact that we have here certain
groups of citizens who are not in
sympathy with American ideals. These
un- American elements are nowhere in
the majority. Their numbers have
nevertheless grown to menacing pro-
portions.
All patriots are now asking, How
can we transform all our people into
Americans How can we bring all
groups of citizens into spiritual unity
republic out of our complex popu-
lation and secure universal co-opera-
ton in our vast task of improving
our system of government?
The education of all the people is
admitted to be the only method thru
which this transformation of feeling
can be secured. We must make every
one in America see clearly that the
United States is more than a piece of
geography; that it is a system of So
ciety, a scheme of life, a state Of mind,
plan of freedom thru representative
government and a democracy which
seeks to make the world decent
place to live in.
This brings to the colleges and uni
versities of America an imperative
duty which all of them have neglected.
To the higher educational institutions
we must now look for some practical
programs for the enrichment Of the
moral and mental life Of the nation
as a whole. Work Of this character
ought to be inaugurated everywhere
while the war is cementing our peo-
pie into unity of feeling which prom
ises well for the future.
The University Of Denver proposes
to make this new departure in edu-
cation at once by establishing Peo-
pies College in an educational center
to be located on the Civic Center di-
rectly opposite the Denver Public
Library on five lots which the late
John II. P. Voorhies gave to the city
of Denver. It Is proposed to trans
form the big houses on those lots into
educational buildings and to construct
an attractive assembly hall on the
ground between the two houses. The
law school and the school Of COM
merce will be housed in one of these
buildings. In the other transformed
building will be located the new Peo-
Piles College where courses Of instruc-
ton will be offered every evening in
American history and American po-
litical ideals and American literature.
The Presidents message to Congress

that would be the time when perma-
nent buildings would be put into use.
He said that my talk appealed to
him very strongly, that he was going
to take the matter up and send a
committee of three to Denver and
Colorado. He gave me all the time
that 1 wished to take and asked me to
leave the maps and my statements
regarding Fort Logan in case it
should be the desire of the war de-
partment to increase the capacity for
housing and taking car of more men.
"He also informed me that so far
as the plumbing and sanitary con-
ditions were concerned,s there would
be very little done in a permanent
way, all work being of temporary
character.

of intense heat, which raised the mev,

throng which made its way to Coney
