A BIG TASK OF EDUCATION


That the American people ale ia
their childhood as far as politics and
economics are concerned and that
those seeking 70 do educational Of pro-
paganda work must bear this in mind,
are among the statements Of Dir. Scott
Nearing IN his latest stimulating PAM
phlet 'Irrepressible America, " just pub,
lished BY the League for Industrial De-
mochacy, 20 Fifth Avenue, New York
City.
Dr. hearings pamphlet gives an ex-
cellent survey Of postwar political and
economic conditions as he witnessed
them in the East and Middle West dur
ing his recent trips The author found
during these trips much discomfort. The
farmers were receiving less than one
half the income obtained during 1919
and 1920 The wages of the city
workers had been cut in the principal
industries from 20 % to 500. Mil
lions were jobless. Others were work
ing three d four days week. Bush
mess was dull. In November, 1921,
there were 1888 failures nearly
twice as many as a year before.
The unions were losing membership.
The power Of the state was increasing.
During the war the great god State
got a foothold in the country, and Sc
Toured SO firm a grip on the magma
ftions Of, the people that even the min
ers and railroaders take off their hats
at the mere mention of its name : = =
Radicalisrn in the Middle West was 'un-
der mems hats The people give far
more attention. to Mutt and Jeff and
baseball than to unemployment and the
open shop drive"
The American workers had gone
along their path while profiteers took
the forests. the coal, the iron, the cop
per. the railroads, the waterfalls The
American people is an embodiment Of
Ihealthy, normal childhood, and those
who wish to reach them must organ
ize an elementary school and teach in
an elementary way.
Dr.. Nearing declares that the task
ahead is that Of education and organiz-
alton, and thai educators must organ
lie through trade and industrial unions,
co-operatives, political parties, educa-
tional groups. All avenues Of COM
munication should be books,
pamphlets, magazines, newspapers. the
bookstore, posters, the newsstand. the
screen, lectures and debates, art and
literature.

QUIT AND'LEAVE FIELD
TO COOPERATIVE
by The Federated Press)

New York. The National City
Bank Of New York has solved the coal
problem. The solution is published in
the current issue of its monthly bulletin
on economic conditions. The remedy
is simply that. as there are too many
workers in the industry, some Of them
should get out and get other kinds Of
jobs. IF the miners union would use
its power to promote such reasonable
adjustment" says this inspired finan-
cial institution. il would help the mine
worker and render great public SER
vice and everything would be fine.
Why shouldn't the profiteering banks
take their own advice and quit and
leave the field open to cooperative
banks. operated at a bare expense cost

Because Queen Anne Of England
centuries ago granted to Is persons a
large tract Of land within the bound
aries. of the present State Of New Jer-
sey, Mrs. Elizabeth Clark, of Atlantic
City, N. j., has formed a corporation
of all the descendants Of these 10 or
iginal owners and has started suit for
the restoration Of $1,000 acres Of land
including all of Brighton Beach, part
of Atlantic City, Long ssland, and a
section of Northern New Jersey.
OF course, Mrs. Clark wants to be au-
thorized to levy tribute, rent. upon the

for us 10 repudiate the tyranny Of the
dead, not only in this instance, but in
everything else as well. Thomas JEFF
ferson proclaimed the only rational
system of land tenure, and the people
who claim to be his followers, to be-
lieye in democracy, to believe in his
immortal declaration Of human rights
as set forth in the declaration Of Am
erican independence. should also re-
cognize and establish his system Of
land tenure. He said: ''The land be- !
longs in usufruct to the living" When
man dies all his rights and titles to
things on this earth become null and
void. The earth and the fulIness there
Of is the inheritance Of all humanity,
for all ages to come, and the steward
ship of every living individual and gem
for all ages to come, and the need and
right TO the use of the earth of every
living individual and generation ceases
with death. No one in exact equity
has right to exclude another from
access TO natural resources, and no
one has a right 10 use them wastefuIy
or destructively to the detriment of flu
lure generations. The rights Of no IN
dividual can ever extend beyond an
adequate supply Of his necessaries;
more than that becomes a criminal out
rage upon contemporaries or future
generations.

What ais the world is narrow-mind-
edness and prejudice. The greatest
enemy to progress is narrow-minded-
ness and prejudice. The greatest OBJ
stacle to productive activity and
material abundance for the whole pop
ulation of the world is narrow-minded
and racial antipathy. The greatest en-
envy to religion is superstition and mar
row-mindedness. And the greatest en-
envy to the peace of the world and the
surest instigator of war, is narrow
mindedness, ignorance, racial preju-
dice. In this connection. Frank A.
VanderIip in his book What Next in
Europe2" relates conversation he had
with Walther Rathenau.
Even the most conservative bank
ers and men of affairs regard Rathen-
au as one of the ablest, if not the most
able, man in Germany.
His father, one Of the organizers Of
the great Electric Company Of Ger
many. was one of the most conspicu-
Gus figures in German industry.
Rathenau is a Jew. and is supposed
TO be Radical. But the quality and
vigor Of his thought are apparent in
the following quotation from him, re-
ported by Mr.. Vanderlip:
The greatest difficulty in the way
of setting the world right again hes
in the deep racial and national preju-
dices Of great masses Of people. There
are few people who have information
al understanding. a few people with
minds sufficiently objective to reach
just International conclusions. But
the minds of the great underlying mas
ses lie solidly frozen by prejudice. It
is like some parts Of Siberia. where
the soil in winter is frozen, many feet
deep and under the summer sun often
softens on the surface only for few
inches. Underneath, there lies immoy-
