Superintendent of Schools Is

His Attitude.
PRAISE FOR TEACHERS

SDerintendent of Schools Ernest l..
by press agent for the National Wom-
ems Trade Union League that teachers
in the schools have been forbidden to
discuss in their classrooms the subject
Of the league of nations. Coupled with
the league of nations in the order is the
topic of bolshevism," says the statement
from the Trade Union League.
Mr.. Thurston today in a prepared
statement denied that such an order
lad been issued in written form.
He said that during discussion
with heads of departments of the high
schools. held March "a. the question
of proper consideration of such topics
came up. and that G. j. Jones, acting
head of the history department of the
high schools. wrote out a recommends
tion to the teachers under his super
vision. urging them to refrain from
consideration of any political topic or
any subject which they did not thor
oughly understand. At this meeting,
Mr.. Thurston said, the subjects of the
league of nations and bolSheviSm came
up, but no order was issued by him
that discussion of the two subjects be
withheld in classroom.

Supt. Thurston's statement, in part,

say that the teachers should refrain
from discussing in class subjects

not clear. They should not discuss

feel that the teachers should be at
all uneasy. This is purely an in
formal word from me. At a little
later date, after the board is en-
tirely through with the present in
cident, I shall be in position to
speak more definitely and freely"
This official advised his teachers to
avoid discussion of social and politi-
cal life on which there is not clear
understanding of principles, and on
which sharp. personal differences are

RAILROADS To REPAY,
Mr.. HINES EXPLAINS.
Director General, at a Pittsburgh
Luncheon, Gives Reasons for
Proposed Appropriation.
By the Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH, March 27-Financial
difficulties faced by the railroads and
the railroad administration were ex-
planned today by Walker D. Hines, di-
rector general of railroads. in an ad-
dress at the Pittsburgh Chamber of
Commerce luncheon.
Not to Make Up Losses.
Il take this opportunity" said Mr..
Hines, ito try to remove the impress
sion that the $750,000, 600 appropria-
atom which was asked of Congress
was needed to make up for losses sus-
tanned by the railroad administration.
This was not the case.
THE appropriation was needed, and
still is needed to enable the govern
ment temporarily to carry expendi-
lures made on behalf of the railroad
companies, which will be gradually
refunded by the railroad companies
as soon as they are able to finance
their requirements otherwise.
when the appropriation of $780,
000,0 900 shall be made there will
have been appropriated for the rail-
100000
"Of this about s2oo, 900, 900 represent
ed the loss incurred in the calendar
year 1913, due to the abnormal win
ter, and to the fact that the railroad
administration had only six months
of increased rates to meet twelve
months of increased wages"

to be rapaid by railroads, $40. .000.-

LEAGUE INTERESTS
Proposed Amendments Garry
Weight With Senators of
Both Parties.
DEMANDS ARE RINGING

The full text OF the speech OF
Charles E. Hughes on proposed
amendments to the league of nations
covenant delivered at the Union
~ague Club In New York last night,
"as available and read here today
With deep interest by senators. This
speech Of the former associate JUS
tfce of the Supreme Court of the
United States and candidate for Presi-
dent on the republican ticket in 1916
was forecast by Mr.. Hughes on re-
cent visit to this city a fortnight ago.
Mr.. Hughes contentious, 1t is said
here. will be given great weight by
both democratic and republican sena-
tors who insist upon amendment of
the covenant when the amended doc
ument comes before the Senate for
ratification. and will furnish q test of
whether the amendments come up to
the standard Of Intense American
ism" for which these opponents of
the original form of the covenant de-
clare they stand

Immigration and Tariff.

IF the United States proposes to
regard er immigration laws, her
tartn laws and her laws relating to
the regulation Of commerce as mat
ters OF her exclusive concern, then
there should be appropriate quslinca-
ftons to the general words of the
covenant both with respect to the
heid Of the leagues inquiries and
rs to the submission OF disputes.
THE suggestion that it is unwise
TO refer particularly to such matters
% immigration and the tariff shows
conolusively that 1t would be the
height Of unwiadom not to refer to
them"
The foregoing remark of Mr..
Hughes Wa9 construed to have es-
peGal reference to tke carefully
phrased amendments proposed to the
covenant. bearing upon foreign imml-
grafton. and was taken a. an appeal
for more direct treatment Of the sub
"The very fact" he continued, that
even now. when any reasonable re-
quest should not 60 unheedad. we are
told that although suoh matters are
OF internal concern, references should
not be expressly made to them a be-
longing In that category, Shove con-
cluavely that 1t 10 not safs to trust
this matter to the future"
Evening star., 1919-03-27
Appeal Is Non-Partisan.

Appealing for non-partisan con-
sideration of the covenant, as a great
American question, Mr.. Hughes con-
tended that 'if the plan is q good one
it ought to be approved regardless of
its origin: If seriously defective or
dangerous, it's source should not save
It. We are not dealing with an aspira-
ton, but with a document. The aues-
tioR 10 not whether an aspiration
needs q document, but whether the
document will give effect to the
ashiration. We are asked not to voice
an emotion, but to approve a plan.
There are reports that amendments
are being made. This Is as 1t should
be. and it Is to be hoped that the
amendments will go far enough to
meet serious objections. The i'm
portant changes that are desired are
not prejudictal to sound intefna-
tional order. Rather will they tend
to make 1t practicable and lasting.
And it should be remembered that the
great protection against war for a
considerable period will be found not
In any forms of words that may now
be adopted, but in economic conditions
which are an assurance that for 2
considerable time at least we shall
not have . recurrence of world strife.
Evening star., 1919-03-27
Must Watch Promises.

'1n making commitments 1t should
be remembered that while 1t is high
y important that We should do every
peace and secure stable conditions we
should be cautious in making prom
ises which are to be redeemed in un-
known contingencies.
We can give counsel and afford
eubatanttal assistance without i'm
to ignore our duty to civilization be-
cause We seek to maintain the integ-
ffty Of our own home. We went forth
to fight for liberty not because we
had grown less ardent in our love
for our own country, but because we
were inspired by devotion to our own
institution.
