"Democracies." said Elhu Root, ARE al
ways in danger"
And this United States, the worlds great
est experiment in democracy, Is in grave
danger right now.
This danger is not from the Reds or
Socialists or /. w. w. or any other bugaboo
of that sort; nor from the high cost OF
living; nor from the collapse Of foreign ex-
change nor from any complication growing
out of our relations with other nations,
European or Asiatic; nor from predatory
wealth; nor from labor unions; but from
a menace far dcadlier than any of these,
because it aims right at the heart and life
of the nation.
The danger is the Decline and Fall Of
Teaching.
Almost anybody who knows anything
at all of our country, its ideals and its
institutions. knows that IL cannot prosper
without education. II is illiteracy that is
the root cause Of Russia's plight. II is the
ignorance Of the common people that is the
matter with Turkey and the Balkan States.
II is ignorance that is the culture where
every microbe of violence fanaticism, class
hate. and folly thrives.
And apparently we are headed toward II.
More than % per cent of all the teachers
in the United States resigned last year. OF
those who remained 10 per cent were below
standard.
In no city Of America is education more
of life and death matter than in New
York for here debouches the mighty stream

In the greatest city Of America education
has so degenerated that many children are
getting no better instruction than the boys

all the pupils read out" Chinese fashion.
The cause is simple. II is low pay. When
