democracy in education and greater
freedom for teachers. He attacked the
school boards of the United States, and
particularly that Of New York City, as
inefficient, ignorant and unfit, charac-
terizing them by a quotation from
Mark Twain: "In the beginning God
made the idiots. He then made school
boards"
Schools Without Teachers
Teachers, who should be the liberia
tors of pupils, have become the con-
strainers of pupils" he said. "Perhaps
it would be better to have no teachers
at all. You remember Emersons re-
mark, Send your boy to school and the
other boys will teach him." He cited
the case of successful school run
without teachers by one Of the Central
Federated unions of Massachusetts,, and
added that the idea was spreading to
all parts of the country.

that our students are taught reaction

Professor Dana also urged teachers
to affiliate with the labor unions. saw

union and break down that foolish dis
tinction which teachers had always felt
existed between themselves and labor.

Red Ticket Necessary
For Left Wing Meeting

"No red ticket, no admittance," was
the slogan of the Left Wing Socialist
Congress yesterday afternoon at the
Manhattan Lyceum, IS East Fourth
Street.
"Only authorized delegates are ad-
mitted. If you're not delegate, get
out. We want no publicity, least Of
all that furnished the capitalistic
press by hired slaves, who bow to the
dollar as their god" That was the re-
ply of the begoggled Russian who stood
at the doorway.
"There is nothing interesting hap
pening yet" the doorkeeper continued.
"The delegates are just presenting
their credentials"
For the presentation of credentials
it was one of the liveliest scenes that
has been enacted in many day.
Through the glass doors it was easy to
glimpse the interesting scene enacted
on the floor. 1t was a little tanner than
riot scene in the movies. Three
speakers, coatless, with shirt sleeves
rolled up and long hair flying, were
exhorting the meeting simultaneously.
Five delegates were on their feet at the
same time, each seeking recognition

OPPOSES SECOND LEAGUE DRAFT.

offDSES SElOND LEAGUE DRAFT.
To tho Editor OF tho Evening Journal: {:
Sir: Tho official summary OF the re-
vised Constitution Of the proposed
League Of Nations. made public at
Paris on April u, has led many OF your
readers, no doubt. to believe that the
objectionable features OF tho first
draft have been eliminated and that
the new document should therefore be
satisfactory 10 those who had con
.demned the Old one.
As one who disapprOved the flrst
draft because IL called FOR an intoler-
able derogation Of fundamental Amer
lean rights, ] shall as vigorously op-
pose Tho second. FOR the same reason.

Western Hemisphere seem TO have heen

Interpretation upon the Monroe Doc
trine. as well as upon other clauses OF
American affairs whenever American
affairs present international aspects.
The officially announced revision
says: "The covenant does not affect

ments, such as treaties of arbitration
or regional understandings like the
Monroe Doctrine. for securing main

Contrary to the general belief, the bro
kerage community also believes that
there has been a substantial increase In
brokers' loans during the past few weeks.
This Is scoffed at In some quarters, how
ever, and many interests are inclined TO
take the view that much of the recent
buying has been for cash and that these
Issues have migrated from the financial
district for good. But the general i'm
preston among tho brokerage fraternity
10 that there has been an increase
amounting to some $500, 900. 900. In
other words, the loan item now stands at
approximately $500. o0o, 900, against
$500. 100000 when the money commit
tees restrictions were in vogue. The
restrictions were taken off early in the
year. Brokers are still required to make
daily reports to the Stock Exchange on
their operations, but the report Is not
forwarded now to the Federal Reserve
Bank or 10 the money committee. In
connection with the increase IN loans Il
Is pointed out also that the very fact that
loans have gone up in Itself contradicts
the assertion that there has been no dis
tr.bution OF stocks by pools and cllouee.
The best Sign OF distribution is an in

Lowering Copper Production.

Walkers Copper Letter declares that
the curtailment OF copper production
10 estimated to have reached 30 per cent.
and that advices from the various min
ing districts indicate that it Is being
carried still further. 1T would not
DO surprising. says this authority.
~ the April and May outputs were so
per cent less than for the correspond
Ing months OF 1917 and 1915. This
drastic reduction cannot fail to impress
the largest and shrewdest consuming
interests. Some OF them, indeed, are
reported to have tried already TO pur-
chase copper for June and July deliv-
cry and as having failed to md pro-
ducers willing to write contracts for
those months. The expected improve
ment IN the copper situation unques-
tionably Is setting in now and It is not
too much to believe that the existing sur
plus supplies OF the metal will have been
absorbed before the year 1919 passes
into history. II may be put down as
certain that tho big producers will not
consent to sell any considerable pro-
portion OF the stocks they now have on
hand at as low a price as 15h cents"
