His defeat is more eloquent than

The defeat OF Eisncr is a defeat OF

RUSS WORKERS

The committee opened a school on
the premises and established a rec
Ieation room and club. and evening
classes for those who worked.
Things went well for months. un-
til a rowdy element questioned the
authority of the president of the COM
mittee as interfering with personal
liberty. When he interfered with the
sale Of liquors by sailors who had
come to a dance arranged for the
people Of the works. they got him
Ousted. He had maintained a code of
rules more drastic than those Of the
owners management.
a second works committee was
named. composed mostly of Menshe-
viks. They, too. were well disposed
toward the operators and directors of
the plant. But they were eventually
forced to resign by the local soviet
because they had permitted the de
partment heads of the works to resist
reQuisition of their houses for work
ers, and because they were unable to
control quarreling among the rank
and file OF the workers.
The third committee got along
smoothly for several months. leaning
on the administration.
Money for the operation of the
plant could be had only by the order
of this committee. which twice a
month had to sign a form stating how
much was needed for operating eX-
penses, and this had to be approved
by the central organization in PetrO-
grad.

1t is expected that the mcchine will
make ninety miles an hour. but it is
said its gasoline with the lightesI

Experts say that it is only a
question of gasoline and that the
airplane flying machine is a great
deal more suited to the enterprise
than a dirigible.
The Germans, it was stated by
navy officials, started Zeppelin
from a point in Bulgaria for a point
in Southeast Africa. The machine
got only as far as Khartoum on the
Nile. That fact, it was said, shows
that a Zeppelin could easily make
the trip and the United States has
a dirigible in process of construc-
ton. The point of the present un-
dertaking. however, is to use a ma
chine that can fly and not "a balloon

GERMAN SYSTEM

Pres M. Slsllman Declares
Our Educational Methods
Undemocrstic.

c. B. Stillman, president of the
American Federation of Teachers,
says this has been called a SCHOOL
masters war" and certainly the su-
per-patriotism and ''regimented do
'cility'' of the German people could
have been developed only by the Ger
man school system. carefully designed
to make unthinking obedience i'm
plicit in the 30 per cent. and TO train
the remaining 10 per cent in a quasi
to higher authority.
Many try by similar reasoning to
find justification for our educational
system in our successful conduct OF
the war.
But the bitter fact is that our cdu-
Cational system from the primary
grades through the university has
never been within hailing distance OF
democracy. During the first half of
the last century. when need was felt
for a model of an educational system,
we sent educators to Germany OF all
places for that model.

And while we avoided the German
caste division, we adopted and have
developed the Prussian type OF
autOcratic school administration. The
class room teachers, actually on the
job and in daily direct contact with
educational problems, have practically
no voice in the conduct of the schools

policies. all power and authority,
originating at the top, and extending
downward from the upper reaches of
the educational hierarchy.
Professors are AutOcrnts.
That this is true of universities,
with some exceptions, is coming to
be recognized. One university pro-
fessor diagnoses the most dangerous
disease afflicting our colleges and uni
versities as ''presidentitis.'
And when it is not "presidentisis,"
often an oliGarchy of full professors
rules with an iron hand. and any
younger member of the faculty with
| lesser rank offers suggestion at the
cost of advancement. or even posi-
1 tion. For in most institutions of COL
/ legiate rank, there is tenure only for
the handful Of full professors; all
others are automatically discharged
each year and offered, or not offered
a new contract.
