Educational System
In United States
Needs a Stimulant
Pitfalls Into Which Germany
Fell Laid to Neglect i'm
Training Her Children
in Essential Problems
70 the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Siys One Of the most important prob
lens Of Imperial Germany was to keep
the common people ignorant as to his-
tory and geography. The young Ger
mans were to grow up In the belief
that Germany had been Ill treated In
regard to her colonies and kept from a
place in the sun. This plan was carried
out with characteristic Prussian atten-
ton to detail, and it was done deliber-
ately.
Without intent or even knowledge on
our part it appears that our children
also are to be brought up in q state
of partial ignorance In the majority
if not in every state chi dren are being
turned away from schools because of
lack of teachers. Many teachers are
below standard. New York Is no ex-
ception. The person who can most sue
cessfully combat Bolshevism and rad
icalism, who is best able to instil
American ideals and ideas into child
mind, has had q salary increase Of
about 20 per cent. 1t would be humor-
Gus If 1t were not 30 criminal.
There Is an old proverb to the effect
e""t "a oIieeh Az IitHc saves nine Inc
present educational crisis is so nation
wide and SO important that it might be
wise for the party that is going into
power in 1921 to announce it's stand in
regard to education and the illtreated
teacher.
1t might be a wise thing to establish
department of education at Wash
ington, entirely separate from the De-
partments of Labor and Of the Int rior,
with power to provide justly for the
teacher and able to provide schools
enough to go around in every part of
The country

Responsibility of Aliens
Platform Contestant Defends
enforced Citizenship"
: of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; The plank on enforced Citi-
senship" has caused letters of prote t
from two of your correspondents. The
plank was written in the belief that if
the underlying principle of any pro
posed action is right, details of appli-
cation necessarily will work themselves
out correctly.
Napoleon enunciated thst idea in re-
plying to Talleyrand. then head of
finance for the reorganized French
government, Napoleon being First Con
sui. The question was, How should he
function? Napoeons reply was: "That
IS simple; first get your principles
rig r rest Is q matter of detail"
those who sought to benefit BY living
here should be able and willing to as
sumo attendant sponsibilities. Our
NATURALIZATION laws call for certain
conditions. They could easily be am
pllhed to cover all points necessary to
good citizenship. J. O. 3.

Government Must Apply
Democracy to Industry

70 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The mutual dependency Of pro-
ductive industry and the public estab.
fishes mutual obligations which, if lost
sight Of, seriously disturb domestic
tranquility. The public must demand
that capital and labor combine their
efforts toward incessant production.
Capital and labor each demand a fair
monetary return for their efforts. The
productive industry of the United
states is as much an institution of
by and for the people. as is the govern
.nent itself. Therefore. it requires
the application of ,iose same demo-
cratic principles to its control. which
90 adequately control our national gov

Suffrage for Women

In the part it has taken to procure
an amendment to the Constitution Of
the United States which grants won
en- suffrage rights equal to those
enjoyed by men. Women have fully
demonstrated that they are endowed
with and possessed Of the necessary
ability ard qualifications 70 be in

Summer Training Camps

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Universal training for freedom
should be given every boy and CIR! in
summer camps, at state and Federal
expense, at the completion of grade
school work, or not later than fifteen
and required for securing working
papers or entering higher schools.
This training should cover athletics
sports, scoutcraft, hygiene and good
citizenship; also scientific feeding

Its administration should be by the

Yarns Of Haste
In Reconstruction
TO the Editor of The Tribune

~ WIG CoitOF Oh Inc Tribune
Sir: Fearless before the pro-
tensions Of minorities, the majority,
conservative, yet progressive. must
determine the plan for all TO build
upon.
Deliberate social control, guided
by that recognized plan which a
minority may agitate but not i'm
pose nor withstand, must frankly
eliminate factors perpetuating those
economic rewards and punishments
which are agreed to be in greater
part unearned and undeserved.
1t must as frankly demand con-
tinuous reconstruction; no faster
nor slower than the majority con-
sents, till each income falls within
the reasonable limits either of COM
parative productivity, or Of poten-
tial return to society when main
tenance Is viewed as public invest
ment. ELMER CORNELIUS
