Teachers to Have Full Control
Hence the need for new institu-
tion, in which those who are to teach
the truth as they are given to see it
have full control over the appointment
and dismissal of professors, and are
thus known throughout the country to
be controlled only by their sense of
responsibility for the correctness and
fairness of their views. At the same
time, then, these men may thus be
free to develop new methods"
The programme of study, as at pres
cnt outlined, will include modern his
tory, social, political, commercial and
individually; political and commercial
geography; international relations;
political economy, finance and stats
tics; labor organization and manage
ment; modern social management;
public law, Jurisprudence, government
administration and public service;
women in the modern social order:
anthropology and psychology. Ad-
vanced students will also receive field

1t is likely, though, that the cur

that the courses, as we'll as the lect-

The Nation" puts it, "FleXibility,
adaptation, freedom, experiment, ap-
proach from the angle Of social need,
not of rigidly organized and classified
intellectual formula, are to be the
marks of the instruction."
"The Nation" anticipates that the
whole scheme will be strenuously as

mately succeed in making the social

control of popular prejudice" as the
natural sciences now are.

INVITING EXEMPTION CLAIMS.

Provost Marshal General Crowder
has issued an appeal to all registered
men and to their employers 20 see TO
1t that men who are entitled to in
dIstrial exemption or deferred classic
cation are accorded their proper CLASH
ication under the rules of the draft
law He fears that in the registration
Of all men between the ages of IS and
IS the industry and business OF the
country is in great danger Of democrat
izaton by what ne calls mistaken
chivalry" on the part Of the registrant
who refuses to ask for deferred
classification when he is entitled to it.
The provost marshal points out that
while the registration includes four
teen millions Of men the immediate
need is for only two or three millions
and that the purpose Of the draft law
is to select these men, first upon
grounds OF military fitness and next
with due consi Iteration to the con-
tinued operation Of all industries and
forces OF production in the country. II
II were not for the necessity Of pro-
tecting the going busin esses OF the
country men would be merely
registered, numbered and drawn by
lot for military service when needed.
The purpose of the selective draft is
TO put into the army the men who are
most fitted for the army and who can
oe spared from industry with the least
amount of loss to the productive
capacity Of the country.
For these reasons General Crowder
seeks to avoid the loss Of very neces-
sary men to industry thru what ne
calls mistaken chivalry when they re-
fuse to ask for the deferred classical
| ton to which they are entitled and he
! urges that employers investigate every
registrant within their employ and sec

with the oncoming Of more ex-
tensive registration an even larger
outlook Is necessary says General
| Crowder. The general Industrial con-
ditions. the supply Of skilled men and
the industries at large, the possibilities
Of training substitutes. the adviaapility

[By David Cory.1

Well, when Billy Bunny saw Daddy
Fox aneakinG behind the trees he said
to Old Sic'em, "Oh. dear me-! There
In that dreadful fox around AGAIN."
"You don't mean it," said the old dog,
and then he told the little rabbit just
what1 told you in the last story. And
showed the little rabbit the old fox's
tail that he had pulled on.
And just then the farmer came out
of the house and the little rabbit
hoped away and hid in the long
meadow grass.
And then all OF a sudden he saw lit
tie ncky Meadowmouse come out OF
his little grass house. which was like a
little ball fastened on stiff stalk OF
grass.
"Helloa, little rabbit! Are you hid
ing from somebody" And then. oh,
dear me! A big snake crawled by and
away went the little meadowmouse and
away went the little rabbit, and il Rob
bic Redbreast hadn't told me. don't
believe | ever would have found out
where they did so. for it's very hard
to see what's going on in the tall
meadow grass.
Well, by and by, after awhile. Billy
Bunny came to the Old Mill Pond
where Uncle Bullfrog sat on his log all
day fishing for flies. and sometimes for
little tiny fishes. And close TO the
pond was the old willow tree where
Mrs. Oriole had her nest, which hung
like a stocking from one OF the droop-
ing branches.

PICKING up THE HOT END

Secretary Tumulty Is prohapiy uh-
satisfied with the reply OF Chairman
HAYS TO the secretary's inquiry as 10
whether or not Hays had said the
democrats would compromise the war
IL their party might be kept in power
by that means. The chairman states
simply that he did not say it Then
he very willingly goes on 10 state Just
what he did say in conference oil
republican leaders. He referred TO the
Camp Grant publication urging WIS
consin troops TO vote for Davies, the
ienochat candidate for United States
senator because President Wilson.
yo,Ir commander in chief. desires all
loyal Americans to vote for Joseph T..
Dawes for United States senator.
Davies election means joy at Wash
inSton and gloom at Berlin. Dawes
defeat means gloom at Washington and

man Hays tells Tumulty he referred 10

stitution OF all patriotic properties
