Meditations OF
a Wife
The Great Adventure.
By Helen Rowland

Now, my Daughter. there dwclt a
Youth in Babylon, who was called
Bravo" which is to say, Onc-with-
out-fCar.
And. all the days of his life, Bravo
wondered at those. whose faces
blanchcd in time of danger, and cnvicd
those whose pulses leapcd and whose
hearts went faint in the face OF peril.
For what is the joy of adventure,
without the trCmor of THRILL:
And 10. Bravo sought his Thrill in
time Of War, upOE the field OF battle.
But, when the smoke had cleared
away and the fighting had ceased. he
was still calm and looking for more. "
And there was no thrill IN him
He mounted plane and sailed
through the air; he descended Ill Il
submarine and sailed beneath thS
water; he circled the earth and climb
cd the Matterhorn. Yet his equanim-
ity remained unrufflCd and the hairs
of his head undisturbcd.
And 10. it came to pass that wOm-
an came unto him saying: Teach me.
oh Bravo, to drive a motor car!
And Bravo agreed gladly. TO sit be-
side her. while she guided the car.
And the woman DROVE!
And behold, when Bravo returned
from the drive. his friends knew him
not! For his face was whittier than Il
good husbands conscience, and the
hairs of his head stood on end, every
one Of them, and in the sleeves of his
coat, there was a mighty trembling.
And Bravo hid his face in his
hands. crying: AT last! At last l
have HAD my thrill! 1t is enough y
For in seven miles. the woman had
laid low many trees and grazed au
hundred trucks, and flirted with
countless trolley cars, and caused
Bravo to face 20 deaths. Her foot
knew not the brake from the acccl-
orator. and her hands were rs butter
on the wheel, and as sand i'll the
gear-shift.
And Bravo was "all in"
And thereafter. Bravo settled
down" and was content TO dwell in
peace.
And there was no more adventure
IN him.

THE schools reflect the economic,
4 political and cultural status OF
society They embody the ideas
ideals, morality and the esthetic
values of the immediate social envi
ronment. The class forces of all time
put their hand upon the education Of
our youngsters.
The middle ages, as of ancient
days, that kept the large masses in
slavery, as human livestock, did not
permit any education for the common
er. The masses groaned under the
yoke of darkness, ignorance and vul-
garity. Education, knowledge, was
the vested privilege of aristocracy.
The slave-owners, merchants, land
lords, peopled the schools and univer-
stiles of old and medieval days. The
spirit that reigned there was the one
of the aristocratic rulers, the spirit of
the blue-blooded lords and kings.
These schools were training camps
for rulers, knights, priests, diplomats,
etc. Religion which was at the bot
tom of all slave rule controlled the
schools with an iron hand, and a so
called religious education was pieced
out to lower classes.

ed the public schools in all develop
ing capitalist countries.
The reformation, the renaissance,
had already begun to rend assunder
the cover of darkness from the mass
es. The sages of these periods had
wanted to penetrate the multitudes
with their teachings, but the natural
inertia, prejudices, and the darkness
that lay over them, were the boulders
in their train of enlightenment and
education to the people.
THE public schools are a product OF
capitalism. They were born, bred
and mothered on the lap of modern
industry. The development of capital
list industry would have been impos-
sible, had it not prepared the children
of the poor to become clerks, book
keeping machine operators, engineers,
etc. The feudal barons needed few
or no learned specialists, and their
schools did not bother to teach prac-
tical things. They trained gentlemen
in their manners: showed them how
to behave in their social circles: lang

the modern school Of individualism
enJsued. The former began to give
way till entirely, or almost so, be-
sieged by the latter. Individualism
vas the main landmark OF the 18TH
century. Economic and political bat
les were won or lost individually.
The freedom of the individual was
he main principle of life. Literature,
art, bowed before his majesty, the
Individual, which of course, was also
EMBRACED in education.
From Frobel Spencer, to Monies
3ori, we find an unbroken thread of
.ndividualistic tendencies in educa-
ion. The individual child, in their
opinion, need not be loaded with pre-
determined educational ideas. The
character and the abilities Of the
child must be taken in consideration
first.
But in industry and politics, indi-
vidualism, tho good for the first stag
es of industrial development became
bankrupt. Useless competition
over-production, crises, wars, Adevasta-
ton, are the symptoms of its abnor'
mality. In education also individual
ism wrought havoc by upbringing
narrow, petty, egotistic people. Indi
vidualism stimulated the development

When capitalism reached a certain
stage it brought about the necessity
of associating the various means OF
production. The various participants
are forced to come together,

social education. The individual de

The 10Th century being heir to the
middle ages, especially with regard to
education, did not cast off all rem
nants of feudalism. The schools were,
as they are yet, apart from real life.
The school was considered as some
thing outside of life. A place whore
children might be trained in reciting
the Latin and Greek classes, and not
where they might learn to meet the
problems of life Very few social
sciences flourished during those days,
and least of all pedagogues. It may

THE most important point is not
1 what has already been done in
connection with schools, but what
might be done when the working
class brings its spirit into the schools.
Education in its wider sense has
social meaning. Capitalist society is
deteriorating, filled with wild contra
dictions, and has its consequent eff
feet on its schools. The history of
schools and education may be divided
in six categories. Each categody rep
resents distinct social, economic in
| terests. These categories may exist
together as they do in our public
schools. (D Schools where they
teach manners to fit for certain pro-
fessors, e. g., knighthood. 90 Religi-
~ous schools to bring so-called spiritual
knowledge to the public, as the Luth-
eran, Calvinists, etc. CD Schools to
develop servants for the state and
church, when they were the same

poor from poverty, degeneracy and
immortality. 20 Public schools as
we know them. CO. The schools of
the oppressed nations to elevate the
national patriotism, develop their Ian

organized the first school of it's kind.
A new school is in emergence. The
school of the rebel working class. In
its pedagogues is synthesized the best
methods of the world adapted and
modified to fit the collective spirit of
the workers. In all capitalist countries
there are to be found groups that are
organized under the auspices of the
Young Pioneers. These groups, tho
learning in the public school, develop
the feeling of solidarity and co-opera-
ton among their young comrades.

INTRODUCTION TO ARTICLE

INTRODUCTION TO ARTICLE /
Both the leaders of Imperialism
and of proletarian revolution have
more than once emphasized the i'm
portance of attention to the Far
East. Even William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, at the Atlantic City conven-
ton, said that labor which means
to him the bureaucracy of the trade
union movement-must turn it's
eyes to the problems of the workers
in the Far East. But revolutionary
workers know that the leaders of
class collaboration will approach the
eastern workers only to betray
them. 1t is well to know, then, that
in Indonesia there exists a center
affiliated to the Red International of
Labor Unions, and that on the r. l.
L. U. Executive Bureau there sits
Comrade Semaoen of Java, the
writer of short series of articles,
which are furnished to The DAILY
WORKER by the Trade Union Edu-
cational League. The first of this
series appears below.

also, we get success in spite of the
