/ The Committee on Education made
the following written report.
We, your committee appointed by
the Central Labor Council recon-
mend the following to this body for
approval
First-We recommend that our
school officers and teachers do all
in their power to have school books
published by the state, thereby saw
ing from 30 to so per cent of their
cost.
Seccnd-We recommend that all
propaganda be kept out OF the
school, as magazines, current events,
etc.
Third-We recommend that chill
dren in the sixth grade and up be
| taught true economics in regard to
production of wealth. AS for in
stance why the producers of wealth
and those who feed and clothe the
world, and fill all store houses with
useful and luxurious things, have SO
| few of these products.
Fourth-We recommend that as a
patriotic duty each teacher should
each day read part Of the Preamble
and Constitution of the United
States, as this is the fundamental
principle of our government.
Fifth-We ask our teachers every
where to discourage militarism and
war as labor must fight, die, suffer
starve and pay all accrued debts
while a few pile up immense wealth.
SiXth-We believe that the time
has come to turn right about face
| and teach our children to think in
terms of humanity instead of dol
lars and cents.
