The teacher must teach the child or the capitalist as we'll as the child of the Iaborer. and any suspicion that the teacher is influenced by the one or the other must Impair his efficiency.
 "T have studied this question for some years and have observed the practical workings of both methods. Affiliated organizations have no ad- vantage over the independent. The latter has the advantage of accom- rlishing the same results without sac rificing the professional spirit by re- sorting to militant methods. Besides the independent organization is not required to contribute large fees for the maintenance of expensive offices and salaried delegates.

 While I am personally opposed to the utilization of teachers organiza- tion with any outside association. do not, however. question the right oi our teachers to exercIse that privilege i if they believe they can accomplish I any good by that method.
 T ask only that calm spirit shal l prevail and that no harsh criticism or 1 bitterness shall be develoDed or ex- I pressed towards thos who differ with
