the army appropriation bill by the
house. 1t provides that officers in the
camps must not only notify the men
of all their rights under this bill as
to securing discharge, but must in
struct them in how to go about it.
The bill provides that men needed in
farming and Industrial occupations,
by filling afidavits that they are so
needed at home, shall be promptly
released.
Baer says that officers have not
only refused to help their men secure
releases, but have actually posted up
printed notices, threatening court
martial for men attempting to secure
discharge thru Intervention by mem

have been refused permission to even

When Thomas and Weeks and Jim

not think Of anything sufficiently VIC
lent to say of the organized workers

always turn for inspiration to the

is apparently the organ of Will S

editorial comment, to the effect that
the Nonpartisan publications are "en-
gagged in preparing the way for the
delivery of the League strength to the
socialized Democratic party in the
next campaign"
After claiming that the Nonpt,7ti-
sans propose to reduce production in
order to make more profits, this RE
publican" kept sheet says: There is
no more unintelligent fallacy than this
theory, advanced by professional farm
and labor politicians, that any single
class in the country can permanently
increase its own prosperity by reduc-
ing production" And on the subject
of unemployment this mouthpiece of
Burnquist and Harding and their
cronies remarks: Ninety per cent of
the talk about the unemployment of
discharged soldiers is bunk.
The radical Socialists, along with the
near Socialists, are doing most Of the
talking about unemployment, while at
the same time fighting any legislation
or policies of administration which
would enable private enterprise to
get into motion on peace basis.

Do You Realize the Cost Of Publishing
a Paper?

We are positive that but few readers of The
Irish Standard realize and appreciate our effort
in giving them the best Irish paper in the United
States. Certainly, if they did, they would pay up
enlarge the Irish Standard and every dollar re-
ceived from subscriptions is used to make it big
ger and better. Please pay up your subscription
and be one of those who can point proudly to the
date opposite your name on the label and show
that you are paid in advance.
The success of the Irish Standard depends
on you. The success of Irish propaganda depends
upon The Irish Standard. The success of Irish
independence depends upon the people of the
United States.

A Measure That Should Be Scrutin-
lied With Great Care.

The Federal Bureau of Education,
proposed through the provisions of the
Smith Bill recently introduced in Con-
gress, to transfer by degrees the super
vision of the local schools from the To-
cal authorities to officials at Washing
ton; or, in other words, to "federalize"
them. Strangely enough this measure
has not only not, been opposed by
many whose whole temper is strong
ly against any further Federal en-
croachment upon our already attenu-
ated local governments, but has re-
ceived their unqualified support. Cam
outage" is of doubtful value even in
the enemy's country, but it has no
place at all among friends. The stor-
les of illiteracy in many States, par
ticularly in the South, now circulated
in defense of the bill, very probably
have the merit of being true. But
there are wrong ways of doing the
right thing. Shall we do the right
thing by setting up a Federal Depart
ment of Education, heavily subsidized
by an annual hundred-million dollar
appropriation?
If we incline to an affirmative an
swer, we ought to know that this Bu-
reau has power to marshal an army of
office-holders at Washington and
throughout the country, thereby throw
ing the schools into the unclean arena
of partisan politics. He is simple
citizen who believes that the political
adage ito the victors belong the
spoils" is forgotten wisdom. Further
more the agents of the Bureau are
authorized to inspect, investigate, fix
school-programs, educate teachers.
and by appropriations of money, build
up all such schools as will bow the
knee to this governmental Baal, and
incidentally, put God out of the
classroom. A Government that can
prescribe the training of teachers, as
we'll as the studies to be followed by
American children, is a government
at whose feet ancient Prussia might
have humbly sat to beg further in
structions in the now completely dis
credited art of making all children
wards of the State, and all citizens
mere puppets in the hateful game of
selfish statecraft We may now be
ready for many new things in this
country, but we are not ready for the

FEDERAL|ZING THE SCHOOLS

importation of this poison of Prussian-
ism. y
Finally, we Catholic citizens may as
we'll face the fact, of which our Luth-
eran brethefn seem keenly aware, that
the passage of the Smith bill means
the gradual, but certain extinction of
the private school. 1t now costs
Catholics great sum to secure for
their children schools in which/God is
neither politely ignored nor summar-
lilly shown the door, but if the Smith
bill ever becomes Federal statute,
the parochial school, humanity speak
ing, will be an impossibility. How do
we intend to meet this new peril to
religion and society? If we are con-
tent to sit down and wait to see what
will happen, our gloomiest pessimists
will be justified. Possibly you are un-
able to stir the society of which you
are an honored member, to a collec.
tive protest, but you can at least pen
a personal protest to your local Con-
gressman and both your Senators. Tell
them that you are one of many
American citizens who think this an
i'll time to restrict still further the
right of the community over it's
schools, and very ill time, indeed,
to force upon the country a degree of
Prussianism to which even the most
ardent disciples of Kultur did not at
tain.-'America,' Vol. Xxx, No. 12.
1t is gratifying to learn that Secre-
tary Of the Interior Lane, in his re-
port to Congress, does not recommend
federal control of education. He urges
federal cooperation with the states.
On the other hand, however, we have
the fact that Mr.. C. G. Schulz, until
recently state superintendent of
schools in Minnesota, has been en-
gagged by the U. S. Bureau of Educa-
ton. According to press reports of his
appointment, "the Americanization of
public schools is to be his particular
work" For years Mr.. Schulz has been
preparing the way for state monopo-
ly of education in Minnesota. Under
cover of Americanizing so-called
".foreign language" schools he sought
to extend state supervision to paro-
chial schools during the war emer-
gency.
A few weeks ago Rev. Joseph M.
Mcmahon lectured in New York under
the auspices of the Catholic Library
Association. DR.. Mcmahon spoke at
some length on the efforts made to
place our educational system under
the control of the Federal Bureau of
Education in Washington, movement
which might lead to abolition of all
private and parochial schools. He
contended that the effort to centralize
education would have disastrous in
fiuence upon the morals of the coming
generations.
