from diseased minds. There Is not
an iota Of truth in them"
He declared he never had an or

his accusers charged him with
shooting him in a dugout.
With a fearful voice he told the
Senatorial committee of receiving
the Distinguished Service Cross, the
CroiN de Guerre with two palms,

He admitted firing a rifle on o.

fused his men into believing he had

fierce conflict as to the way history
should be taught in schools.
Garnett wants all history to be
taught after u scheme fathered by
the league of nations. He contends
that the present system is too mar
row and too national. He wants an
international textbook OF history.
"it should not be possible" he
says, "for one version OF the Amerl-
can war of independence TO be
taught in American schools and an
other version in English schools.
Nor should the date OF a battle be
considered of more Importance
than, say, the discovery OF the cir
culation OF the blood"
Hearnshay calls this "propag ganda
talk" why" he asks, should the
extremists on the league of nations
butt in on questions that do not
concern them?
