False Premises"
The Securities leagues appeal to
arouse the Normal school heads OF
the country to appreciation of the sit
uation and the necessity for lmmedl-
ate and drastic action was written by
Miss Eta V. Leighton, the league S
civic secretary. 1t reads in part as
follows:-
"Cleverly phrased doctrines based
on false economic premises are being
preached everywhere, not only to
adult but to children of high-school
and even of primary school age.
Their acceptance would mean the
overthrow of our system Of repre-
sentative government, either by rev.
olution of substitution.
Teachers need Help"
AT present many teachers are I'M
able to controvert these doctrines.
They need help in the shape of SIM
pie courses in economics adapted to
present conditions.

extension and strengthening of
courses in economics and ethics,

The settlement of this controv- ersH is regarded as a long step to- ward the solution of the Italian prob lem as a whole and the conferences among the peace conference leaders arc being continued today with a hopeful tone prevailing the reports of the discussions.

 This is the first dual meeting since 1916. Yale took part in triangular games with Harvard and Princeton in 1917 but did nothing.
 AS Yale appeared to be stronger in track events, the general forecast was for Blue win by a very narrow margin.
