Take Culture Studies
Literature, English and other
courses, known generally as culture
studies will be taught at least once
week by the various Instructors A
similar plan has been adopted by edu-
cation and labor officials in Boston to
give the Iaboring men opportunity to
acquire those things many of them
have been denied.
There is nothing compulsory about
these courses. 1t lies with the labor
ing man himself The idea had its
incipiency in the minds of educated
labor leaders and broad minded edu-
Gators who believed that laboring men
felt a resentment at the snobbishme Mt
Of men with education.
Placing these advantages free be-
fore the laboring men and putting
them on a par along so called culture
lines with all classes is looked upon
as a means of reducing the cause of
resentment and discomfort that may
be current in the country.
