Chicago's school teachers have always fought for
an increasing say in the conduct of the ciys public
school system They have waged tireless war for
the right of organization They have exposed tax
lodging that robbed the children of school taxes
that ought to be paid by the rich They have car
ried on the best struggle they knew how to build
for better public education for the children, which
means the boys and girls of the working class.
The present struggle between the school teachers
and Superintendent of Schools William Mean
drew therefore, is more than battle over the
right of the Teachers Councils to take 45 minutes
each month of their teaching time to discuss,
among themselves, the various problems that arise
1t is inevitable that the discussions in the Teach
ers' Councils should be for the welfare of the
children. They certainly take up vital problems
of education, which the big business appointees
on the school board hold views vitality different
than those Of the teachers.
Superintendent McAndrew isn't so much wor
ried about the 45 minutes But if he can wipe out
this right, he can proceed to eliminate the Teach
ers' Councils, and all other forms of organization
that the teachers have built up. Instead of de
yeoping ideas of their own, Superintendent Nc
Andrew would like the teachers to get all their
ideas from him. TO accept his dictatorship from the
top. This is an intolerable situation. It is one
that must be fought by all workers. We join the
school teachers Of Chicago in demanding that

ELEPHANT AS GIFT
Bokhara Council Gives Huge Speci- men to Moscow Soviet for Display in Zoo.

Moscow, Oct. IT, Moscow has witnessed many strange sights, but none more unique than the passing through the city at dawn the other day of an enormous Indian elephant presented by the Bokhara Council of Comn1issars to the Geological Gar dens of the Moscow Soviet. Two companies of mounted militia, in- numerable guards and a dozen care takers piloted the huge beast from the railroad station to the menagerie followed by such small boys as were awake at that early hour of the morning.
 This is the only elephant in cap- tivity in Russia, as previous pachy- derms disappeared during the ter rible famine period of 1920-1921, having either died of starvation or been eaten by the famished popula- ton. The Bokhara elephant weighs seven tons and has been christened Beautiful Lady" by the Moscow Soviet. A ton of American peanuts and other morsels in which ele-, plants delight have been ordered by the geological authorities for their new guest.
