NO SCHOOL board WELL BALANCED
WITHOUT LABOR men AS MEMBERS
Editor Of schools and People, Points Out Gap Between
Schools and Labor and Declares That it Must See to it That
Labor Members Are Elected Conclusions Apply to Duluth.

The situation complained Of by
Duluth labor with regards to the
administration Of the public
schools applies to most other cities
in the country. There is a great
gap between the schools and the
workers and labor alone can
fill it.
The Editor of schools and Peo-
ple," a national publication of note.
declares that labor must see to it that
labor members are named on every
board OF eductaion. In reading his
article, which is printed below, one
would think that he had reference to
the situation in Duluth where the
school board is under the domination
of interests unfriendly to labor.
A Great Gap Exists.
"A great gap exists somehow be-
tween the schools" he says, "and the
people, especially of the working class.
Teachers, parents, people. all think
and feel that there is something
wrong in the situation and bemoan the
fact. Has it just happened so? Or
are there causes at work sufficient
to bring about and produce such a
situation? 1t might be we'll to face
the situation frankly and to look hon.
estly for causes and to find remedies
for undesirable consequences.
"No group in America has 80 great
an interest in the public schools as
the labor group. The schools were
first opened and made free of access
to the children of the rich and poor
alike at the earnest insistence of labor.
No group has. so comprehensive and
practical program of education as the
labor group. Labor conventions
never fail in their support Of a con-
structive educational program. It is
the children of the workers who fill
the schools. The teachers are wage
workers. And the taxes which sup
port the schools are derived, in the
last analysis, from the wor\ers.
But for some reason. the labor
group has practically no voice in OF
control over the administration OF
educational affairs. Boards Of edu-
cation are almost without exception
made up of bankers, lawyers, mer-
chants, and other representatives OF
the business element. Even in in
dustrial centers that are we'll organ
lied by labor it is a significant fact
that seldom is a single representative
of labor to be found on the board OF
education.
Effect Easily Seen.
lone may draw his own conclusion
as to the causes Of this phenomenon.
The labor world., 1921-09-03

0But what shall we say of the effects
which follow?
1.-The effect Of this situation upon
the teachers is easily seen. No body
of workers is more honest or consci-
have the light to see their duty. But
teachers have been taught to believe
that they are members of a learned
profession. And they seem to take
this little joke quite seriously. And
they have been taught to believe that
it is undignified and degrading to have
anything to do with labor.
1T is tragic thing when we must
say that the teachers in our public
schools are ignorant Of the. simples:
facts Of economic and Industrial life
untaught in the things most vital for
boys and girls to know when they go
out from school into the battle of life
for themselves. And teachers are
timid and afraid Of losing their jobs.
The effect of this breach between
the people and their schools is disas-
trous also upon the pupils in our
schools. Instead of urging the boys
and girls to fit themselves for some
actual activity in the industrial world
into which they must go, the young
folks are fired with false illusions of
future greatness of craftsmanship, Of
literature, of merchandising or what
not. But the great majority of these
young folks will be wage-workers,
bound through their jobs through life.
Rules He Has Not Learned.

and honesty and industry and truth
fulness in the public school, But
when the young fellow goes out to try
his hand in the game of competitive
business he finds in his disillusion-
ment that the game is played with
rules he has not learned. He finds
that men are getting by and succeed
| ing in business life not because they
are cunning and crafty and crooked
And as wage-workers the young folks
find out that they have learned a lot

modern industrial life. Many text
books and periodicals in common use
in the public schools are unfair as a
result Of prejudice. And debates in
high schools often become a means Of
propaganda hostile to labor.
"In the last place, it may be in Or
der to suggest briefly a few things
that will help to bridge this gap and
make closer and more real the rela-
tionship between labor and the public
schools.
Labor must see TO II that labor
members are placed on all boards Of
education. Labor must insist on a.
The labor world., 1921-09-03

higher type Of normal training schools
for teachers. Labor must convince
the teachers that organization is nec-
essary as a means of protection to the
worker. Labor must encourage par
ent-teachers association meetings and
make its voice and influence heard
and felt. Labor must cultivate an
ever increasing common ground Of
cooperation and contact between the
people and the schools.
I'm other words, labor should make
up it's mind to furnish such causes as
may be adequate and sufficient to
produce the result desired. Labor can
wave no magic wands. Labor must
plow the ground and patiently SOW
seed and water and cultivate the crop
And finally if changed condition in
this relationship between the schools
and the people is worth having, it is
also worth paying for.''
