LEAGUE OF NATIONS
HISTORY IS PLAYED

LONDON, Feb. 16.--U. n. S.)--Two
famous English professors, DIR. Max
well Garnett and Prof. F. J. c. Hearn-
shaw, are in fierce conflict as to the
way history should be taught In
schools.
Garnett wants all history to be
taught after scheme fathered by the
League of, Nations. He contends that
the present system Is too narrow and
too national. He wants an interna-
tional text book of history
ut should not be possible" he says,
"for one version of the American war
of independence to be taught in Am
erican schools and another version in
English schools. Nor should the date
of battle be considered of more i'm
portance than, say, the discovery of
the circulation of the blood"
Hearnshay calls this propaganda
talk" why" he asks, SHOULD the
extremists on the League Of Nations
butt In on questions that do not con-
Germ them?
let the teaching of history be left
to teachers."

doubtful " n bonus bill will effect
passage. Strong opposition to the
sales tax now exists in congress.
