QUICK HITS
AT BIGOTRY
IN SCHOOLS
Cites Tennessee u, as Exam
pie of NanoW-Minded-
ness of Officials.
By HERBERT QUICK

ITT7 HE people of Tennessee, as well
as her university are going
- under the microscope Of public
examination. The trouble seemed to
! start when an instructor in psychol-
! ogy ordered his classes to read an
evolutionary book, Mind in the
Making"
The book was ordered sent back to
the publishers by the president Of the
institution. He said it was dangerous.
And then the fat was in the fire.
Professors Fired
Professors and instructors have
been fired or have resigned, most of
them getting better places elsewhere.
The president, 1t is said, in trying to
fill their places IS having difficulty.
! Men whose natures are as big as is
required for teaching in any higher
institution Of learning scarcely like to
| so where their thoughts are censored.
| Presidents Of other schools are said
to have intimated to the president Of
| the Tennessee University they are not
! willing to help transplant good brains
int such an atmosphere. It is now a
matter into which the alumni have en-
tered They seem to feel a great
| institution is about to be ruined by
| narrowness and intolerance.
University Tests State
There is no better test Of a State
than tho character of its university.
If the State IS quite dead intellec-
tually. it may have a good university
I II 1t happens to fall into good hands;
for there will be no public opinion at
all to offend.
When the State has made certain
progress, It enters into what may be
called She state Of barbar1sm in edu-
cation. 1t is afraid of ideas. 1t has
not reached the stage of seeing all a
university is good for is to stimulate
thought and investigation, and to Of
fer the world new things all the time
Opinion Is Narrow
It begins to have a public opinion
on education-and that public opin-
ion is narrow, bigoted. afraid Of
shadows. If the spirit of barbarism
wins, the university dies. 1t still ex
lists as a corpse which IS galvanized
into something like life when the
poor, robbed boys and girls come to
sucSle dry breasts after the long va
cations. But It is not worth tinkers
dam. All the money expended on it,
no matter how many hgh-sounding
degrees It confers. Is lost.
There is a third stage into which
States sometimes happily emerge. in
which tho university stands for free
dom of investigation and thought. The
people do not believe everything
taught there is true. But they have
learned II nothing is taught as to
which there IS disagreement, q boy
can learn more at a baseball game
than in school. Such a State has
great university, no matter how small
it is; but it has something more-it
has great people.
We shall know when this fight Is
over IN which class Tennessee belongs.

A Boys Point Of View

Why are the people so ungrateful?
OF what the world shares.
The people are growing more hateful
And trying TO be mIllonaires.
The time is coming at hand
When famines shall be in the land,
Then what shall we people do,
When famlnes shall lead and ruler

And son shall turn from mother.

If we don't find the sacred key.

S He does. And this one is
to take advantage of every OPP
unity to add to the value of the
with which he enters the King
IN. He has his pound of forgive
ness, of Gods faith in him, Of Gods
love and begins trading with it in
the world of men in which he finds
himself. That attitude of unhar-
bored wrong against his fellows adds
to itself another pound of sympathy
with them. If God can believe in him
as he knows himself to be then surely
he must believe in other men and he
faces them with new confidence in
their worth until he has added full
pound Of democracy to his store. Car
rying the spirit of love into his re
