Bernard Shaw has written a new

mouths OF fanciful individuals. II
is perhaps morbidly refreshing to
read stuff so fearless, For instance
Shaw says:
SIS there any hope in education?
The usual answer that we must
educate our masters, that Is, our.
selves. We must teach citizenship
and political science at school. But
must we? There Is no must about
It, the hard fact being that we must
not teach political science or citi-
zenship at school. The schoolmas-
ter who attempted It would soon

dictment for sedition against the ex
ploiters.
"our schools teach the morally
of feudalism corrupted by CONNER.
ciallsm and hold up the military
conqueror, the robber baron, and
the profiteer as models Of the illus
trious and the successful. In vain
do the prophets who see through
this imposture preach and teach "a
better gospel; the individuals whom
they convert are doomed to pass
away in a few years, and the new
generations are dragged back in the
schools to the morality OF the 18th
century. Thus the educated man
