God Within

THE God who created the
heavens and earth and all
therein Is within us. we do
not know Him until we begin
to create ourselves.
THE Divine Spirit that tips
the blackbird's wing with scar
let; who blends the hues Of the
rainbow; who paints sunsets on
infinite canvas, is within us,
and we may become creators OF
beauty.
THE Divine Spirit that holds
the stars in their courses. and
trades their ellipses; that binds
the earth to it's central sun,
sends it's arc Of the perfect cir
Gle through US, and who shall
dare to fix the limits of our
power? Man has leaped every
limit thus far; every law Of Ma.
ture he has discovered has
been ground for his sovereign
feet.
THE Divine Spirit that made
human hearts so much alike
that they can beat in the uni
son Of love; that made human
minds so much alike that the
truth Of one becomes the truth
of all. that has made human
eyes so much alike that we
share our visions Of beauty;
that Divine Spirit is within us.
Love, truth, beauty are our
own created children, not
adopted, but the fruit Of our
loins.

modern society.
The story centers around the Had
ley family, who after years of pow
erty come into fabulous wealth by
the discovery of oil on property
which they had thought was practi-
cally worthless. The daughter Mar
jory is sent to school in France, from
which she returns with ideas which
do not please her father.
Mrs. Hadley retains her old
fashioned ideals, but Mr.. Hadley

friends, The father attempts to
force Marjory to give UP her new
friends, and especially Kent Merrill,

the pretty fast leader of his par

Marjory refuses and she and Kent

French girl who had been Marjory's
roommate at school in Paris, and
who is alone in New York. Lila
tells them Of her middle-aged ad-
mirer, Mark Stanley, who has show
cred her with beautiful gifts, and
arranges a meeting between them,
ignorant of his real identity. MarJory
is heartbroken to meet her father
in the role Of Mr.. Stanley, and up
braids him for his deceit.
Almost hysterical, she leaves the
apartment with Merrill, announcing
to her father that she isl through
with him and is going to follow his
footsteps, not caring what may hap
pen. Brought up suddenly to the
seriousness of the situation, Hadley
returns home and after a series Of
dramatic events, peace and happi-
mesa are restored to the Hadley
household.

commercial eQuCaIl0n anu MANUAL training
are the keynotes of the present conference.
The children of the workers in the grade
schools are to be turned into efficient cogs in
capitalist industry; those who get as far aA
high school are to be made into clerks, stenog-
raphers, statesmen and advertising men.
Dr. Edwin Broome, superintendent of the
Philadelphia schools, has already declared
that much of the material used for mental dis
cipline in the public schools should be
"weeded out"
Children should not be taught to think, to
pursue independent Investigations, to cult
vate skeptical frame of mind that makes for
discarding of old and useless things, but to
obey and worship the dogmas of capitalist
society.
To this level has sunk the public school sys-
TEN of the United States the system that the
workers of America many years ago brought
into being against the wishes Of the ruling
class of that day.
From the kindergarten to the universities
the youth of the land are taught to hate and
despise all activities of the labor movement;
either they become, if machine industry does
not claim them, the Rabbits of the business
world or mental eunuchs who take up the task
of prostituting knowledge.
The Boards, hearings, Veblens, Deweys and
Laskis, and the host of less well-known edu-
Gators, driven from the public institutions of
learning by the rulers, in ever increasing num-
bers bear witness to the fact that education
in America consists of merely of impressing
on the minds of pupils certain doctrines upon
which American capitalism has placed its
imprimatur.

Unn,asking Tyranny

Colonel Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the
navy, one of the heroes of the Teapot Dome
Oil Tragedy, who is now occupying his office
by the grace of Coolidge and the tolerance of
the masses, is engaged in denying the navy
employees the most elementary constitutional
rights supposed to be accorded to- every citi-
zen Of the country.
The constitution guarantees the inviolability
of the right of petition to every citizen. Let,
Mr.. Roosevelt, who was caught red-handed in
the gigantic Sinclair oil steal, is arrogating to
himself the power to make scrap of paper
out of the constitution by refusing the naval
employees the right to petition publicly "that
personnel classification and efficiency ratings
and all other government personnel matters
be placed under the supervisor of the Civil
Service Commission"
Apparently Mr.. Roosevelt feels that oil
alone hasn't helped him. He is opposed to the
much counted American civil service method
for advancing and rating government en-
ployes. Perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt feels that he
must also do his bit in the roping of the civil
service system which has been going on UNI
noticed and unpublished under the Harding
Coolidge administration. Very likely Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt finds it
necessary to traffic in naval jobs as well as
fraudulent oil concessions We do not want to
yield to suspicion, but we wonder.
This incident may appear unimportant in
these days of political oil prospecting. In
truth it is very significant. 1t shows that our
employing class does not leave stone un-
turned to keep this government as alright as
possible against rank and file employee express
sion, as fool-proof a dictatorship as can be
attained.
This high-handed conduct Of the oily Roose-
welt unmasks the essential tyranny with which
OR whole government system seeks and lays
threadbare all the false democratic claims
made for our government by its defenders and
apologists-

md out the why and wherefore of this help
lessness of the once mighty German working
class Calm, dlspassionate probing leads the
investigator to one outstanding factor respon-
slbe for the hopelessness of the erstwhile
flower of the European proletariat. The Ger
man masses are today reaping the rewards of
the treason perpetrated against the working
class OF the world by the social democratic
leaders. Since the Ebert-Noske despoilers of
international socialism assumed control of the
rudder of state for the industriaists and fin
anciers even after events have belied every
one of their pretenses. These Judases of the
world revolution fought the proetarian die
tatorship because they would have the world
believe that they were dedicated to the cause
OF pure democracy. Now Chancellor Marx
warns the Reichstag that unless it Immediately
stops concerning itself with the government
he will dissolve it. The Social Democrats
fought the establishment of a Soviet Republic
because, they said, it would bring about the
enslavement of Germany by foreign capital
lists Now, these same unholy pretenders are
the very ones to invite the foreign capitalists
to facilitate the turning of Germany into a
coolie colony of international capitalist imper-
ialism.
Yes, these are the dismal rewards of trea-
son. The lessons of these blacklist betrayals of
history are of incalculable import to the work
ing class movement the world over. But this
quintessential gall which the German working
class is today compelled to drink will yet prove
the hemlock to their misleaders. The terrible
price now being paid by the world proletariat
shall then not have been in vain.

90 mere was INC Dvpar SIllealS Va
Classroom Teachers left without Off
GERS for a yearl They did not know
what to do; but the gang knew, you
may be sure. They sprung the prop
osition at an assembly Of the N. E.
A. convention, at which very few
Of the classroom teachers were pres
emit, but at which four out of five
of those present were superintend-
ents or members of the supervising
force. To this gathering the presi-
dent of the N. E. A. announced that
she ordered" a meeting Of the Class
room Teachers Department, to be
held as soon as this N. E. A. as
sembly had adjourned. Under the
bylaws, the president of the N. E. A.
was absolutely without authority to
order any. such meeting; but she or
dered it. and the incoming president
Of the N. E. A. took charge-Mr.
William B. Owen, president Of the
Chicago Normal School, "ward lead
err" of the gang in that city.
The meeting was held; that is to
say, a number Of spectators stayed
over, and Mr.. Owen called them to
order as classroom teachers. but
without making any effort to find out
whether they really were classroom
teachers or not. The climax of abb
surdity was reached when this meet
ing-it was held in a theater-was
forced to .vacate, and adjourned TO
the Boys Trade School. Fewer than
two hundred people came to this
place. and no effort was made to as
certain who they were, or what right
, they had to vote in the affairs of the
classroom teachers. By means of
this assemblage. the gang proceeded
to elect Miss Fife MacGregor to run
the Department Of Classroom Teach
ers for year. And you may be
sure that in the course Of that year
the gang got busy, and pulled its
wires, and saw to it that at the next
convention there was good major

an easy one. because the convention
was in Oakland, and we have been

measure uIgYvSU TapltaiioUs.
How little the great mass of workers and dis
possessed farmers will benefit from the Gar
ner measure is evident from the fact that even
in New York State, the wealthiest state in the
union, more than three out of every four fami-
lies have family income Of less than $1,000
a year. The individual income, of course, is
considerably less. If these are the conditions
in New York. then the situation is much worse
in the other, the poorer states, of the country.
Consequently, the democratic Garner tax bill
brings no relief to the overwhelming majority
of the people of this country.
The only tax plan that can be of any service
to the working masses and relieve them of the
present staggering burdens of taxation is that
plan which will levy 100 per cent inheritance
tax, 100 per cent excess tax and 100 per
cent surtax on all incomes above the income of
the average workers and farmers.

historical subject. Another had a
thriving band, which played for
me, really very we'll, with a lad
of fourteen as conductor.
Teachers Without Books.
l heard some German lessons
given, and the teachers had man
aged, almost without books, to
make wonderful progress, with the
aid chiefly of blackboard and draw
ings prepared by the children
themselves. Hardly a word Of
Russian was used in the foreign
language lessons, and in one of
these schools some Of the elder
children, obviously rather proud of
their proficiency, started convers-
ing with me in German as walk
ed about the corridors. Latin and
Greek are virtually abolished. For
the elder pupils there were lessons
in political economy and psychol-
ogy as we'll as history, literature,
and science. The strain on the
teachers must have been terrific,
and only the best of them could
succeed.
Radical Educational Methods.
Much of the discomfort of the
more conservative and less efficient
teachers was obviously due to
their inability to grasp and apply
the radical new methods Of educa-
ton prescribed by Lunacharsky
and Pokrovsky. The old routine
which pumped knowledge out Of
textbooks into passive children was
so much easier than the new meth
DDS of activity, self-initiative, and
realism. Thus / found the elder
pupils in some schools learning
arithmetic by working over the
actual statistics, percentage, and
costings Of a particular factory.
That wants a better and keener
teacher than the old book ex-
amples.

children whose parents belonged to

ImprOvised Laboratory.
The long Russian summer holt
day was over before 1 left, and
saw three big schools at work in
and near Petrograd. All were suf-
fering from the lack of materials,
especially paper, steel pens, pen
ellis, and school books. But the
skill and enthusiasm of the teach
ers went far to supply the lack.
In one of the three the head mas
ter, whose chief interest was nat
ural science, had got together
most creditable physical labora-
tory, and nearly all the apparatus
had been recently made by the
elder pupils themselves. Veteran
carpenters benches and lathes had
somehow been Communicated, and
even the girls were learning to
use them. Bootmaking was also
taught. The libraries, chiefly Of
Russian classics, were in great re-
quest, and in the evenings the older
pupils conducted sort of literary
salon. One of these three schools
had a rather ambitious theater,
and occasionally the children per-
formed plays of their own compost
ton, usually dealing with some
