IF THE TEACHERS ORGANIZE.

Dean James Russell of Teachers College, Columbia
University believes that the day has when public
school teachers should organize and that in such organ
zaton may be much benefit to the teachers themselves
and to the public
The establishment of high professional standards, Of
an ethical CODE is to be desired he thinks but he says
also:
"An organization Of teachers nationwide and proper
ly authoritative must be founded principles that will
be universally recognized valid and its conduct must be
above reproach No selfish motive be allowed to in
terfere with the realization of its ideals
"The individual teacher will find inspiration and re-
newed courage in the consciousness of marching shoulder
to shoulder with his fellows in a mighty army recruited
to fight the battles of civilization and democracy"
Dean Russell suggests a set of principles which such
an organization might fairly adopt. Every member
should be 100 per cent American There should be no
discrimination against any SEX grade or school, There
should be equal pay for equal work. and living wage al
ways The teacher should teach his pupils the fndamen
tai facts of American life and help them to make wise
choice in their affiliations, but he must not proseyte or
conduct propaganda for any which citizens are
divided and he must have decent respect for the opn
ions of others
To an organization founded on such principles mo-
could have any obiectionf it always could be kept
true to its ideals which is doubtful If So it would work
to the advantage of teachers pupils and public

HUNTING A HUSBAND
