of trustees. Still, on the fingers of
one hand could not be counted the
number of college professors who have
not already fallen into the rut Of static
conservatism before having received
that distinguished position.
The human mind, he says, can
hardly be said to have been given a
show in getting an education, but he
lays the fault and blame at the door
of no one. He expects knowledge to
be "humanized." How? Not by some
fundamental change in society as it
exists now, but by the changing of the
attitude of college professors, Of
scientists, of educators in general.
DR.. Robinson is a philosophical
idealist. According to him knowledge
will come to man, not by the con-
certed action of man, but by that so
obviously subjective factor, a change
of attitude on the part of the learned.
Indeed, ii is wearisome to hear DR..
Robinson exaggerate the role Of the
intellectual in bringing about the real
"humanizing." 1t is as ridiculous to
petition the board of education to dye
its curricula with a more liberal tinge
as is the idea that workers should buy
81 per cent OF the stocks of all indus
trial and commercial enterprises and
thus become the owners of this, our
country of capitalism.

present dehumanizing Of knowledge.
What is fundamental is a change of
the economic structure of society from
capitalist to proletarian. Such a gi-
gantic Transformation will do thou
sandfold more than to try to turn the
attitude of scientist and teacher from
being conservative to being open
minded.
DR.. Robinson writes his book In an
easy style. that even some ''laymen"
might be able to understand. The
book, too. is made in way that can
easily be carried by "1aymen" and the
print is quite readable.

DR. ROBINSON wishes to educate
II the adult worker, it seems. He
enumerates the difficulties: Scient-
lists, etc., write only that they may
continue to be held in respect by their
confreres; it does not matter to them
whether or not the masses" under
stand them; in fact, if these masses"
are by some latent ingenuity able to
peruse their work intelligently they
are CONTEMPORARY termed popular
izer' by their high-brow colleagues.
Then there are the economists, histo-
rians, psychologists, philosophers. phil
ologists, and so on down the line. who
live alone on their separate isles of
economics, history, psychology, ETC.,
In the sea Of life, and who, altho the
means may be gained by the mere de-
sire to broaden and make more SEN
sible their minds, do. not try to help
build the inevitable bridge from one
island to the other. College presi-
dents are all of the conservative
school. In order to hold their jobs
safely they cannot voice the very mild
est opinions as regards any change Of
curriculum, as laid down by board

fol those who were loyal TO the gov
eminent and against the revolution.
Those loyal to the government were
not allowed to get together. Such priv
ileges were accorded to them in cases
where they were attending funerals,
and then they were watched carefully
by the committees of safety which
were set up by the revolutionists.
Those loyal to the government were
completely disarmed.
The first American revolution also
set up very effective "cheka" for
wedding out Tory elements. Let us
see how this "cheka" of 1875 worked
in Massachusetts, the state which has
given us that flower of all Americans
Coolidge.
ain Massachusetts it was provided
that a meeting of the inhabitants Of
each town might be called, at which
a strong patriot should be chosen as
chairman. Any citizen present at
the meeting might give him the
name Of anyone suspected of Tory
sympathies and, If majority pres
ent voted affirmativeIy, the person
named was arrested and tried at the
next session of court. If convicted,
he was shipped as soon as possible,
AT HIS OWN EXPENSE, to Europe
or the West Indies"
Those refusing to accept allegiance
to the revolutionary government and
continuing their loyalty to the over
thrown government were put into jail,
kept there forty days and later de-
ported, in many cases to some part Of
the British dominions. And if any of
these loyal to the government returned
the penalty awaiting them was:

luton.
A lot of talk is now going the rounds
about "Bolshevik money" about money
from other countries, to help finance
the revolution in America. This is
sheer nonsense. The only ones in
America who have seen Bolshevik gold
or gotten any money from the Soviet
government are such capitalists of the
type of Henry Ford. Revolutions are
not created artifcially.o Revolutions
must grow out of the objective condi-
tions in the country. Still, it is very
instructive to note the role foreign
money played in insuring the success
Of the first American revolution. The
French government spent at least 25,-
100000 francs in financing the Ameri-
can revolution, to overthrow the gov
eminent existing in America in 1776.
1t has been said by no less an author
ity than Admiral Mahan that the
American revolution was really won
N the high seas in the naval battles
between the fleets of Spain and France
on one side and Great Britain on the
other.
Professor Edgerton has well summed
up the role of foreign governments in
helping bring the first American revo-
luton to a successful conclusion when
he said: 'The war had lasted long
enough for clear-headed Americans to

of the common people which was the
outstanding feature of the revolution
airy war propaganda.
Since the first American revolution
the history of the United States has
been history of the struggles of the
masses for an alteration in the class
The first phase of the American
revolution was not really complete
until the election of Jefferson. JEFF
ferson, 1t must be remembered, was
the spokesman of the workers and the
poorer farmers. Hamilton, his chief
opponent, was the leader of the Fed
eralists, the big commercial interests
which desired the establishment of O
strongly centralized government, ma
tional bank, higher tariff, an army,
navy, and even talked for some time
of establishing an American titled aris-
tocracy. For weeks the first senate
was debating as to the title that should
be given to the president and how the
senators should be addressed.
The decisive vote for Jefferson in
the college Of electors was cast by one
who served four-month jail term for
violating the sedition law passed by
the Federalists against the working
and farming masses.
With the victory of the North over
the South in the Civil War the hege-
mony of the American bourgeoisie
over all other classes was complete.
Since the continuation of the Civil
War the American capitalists have
been consolidating their hold on the
resources, industries and government
Of the United States. But since then
there has also been developing def
mite proletariat. The proletarianiza-
ton of the United States has been IN
creasing at an accelerating pace since
1893-the time marking roughly the
disappearance of free land and the es-
adjustment of the basis for capitalist
monopolist control of the basic re-
sources of the country. The struggle
waged in the first revolution must be
continued by the American workers
today. The American workers have
splendid traditions to live up to. Com
rade Lenin has well pointed that out
some time ago. Our traditions of
struggle in the first American Civil
War in 1776, in the second American
Civil War in 1861, in the subsequent
heroic battles against the railroad cap
italists, the coal kings, and the oil
barons affords plenty of inspiration.
On this day marking the one hun
bred and fitch anniversary Of the
signing Of the Declaration of Independ-
ence from those who exploited our
forefathers in 1876 it is time for us to
think very seriously of the necessary
steps to be taken for signing new
Declaration of Independence Decla-
ration of Independence from our ex-
ploiters today.
We can proudly tread the paths
beaten by our revolutionary foretath-
ers. They can teach us much. Let us
learn from them. Let US act.

rhe Form Of government.


WE can understand why the Ameri-
w can capitalist today is shuddering
at the word dictatorship. When they
hear the word dictatorship uttered by
workers they know that it means the
dictatorship of the workers to supplant
the present dictatorship of exploiters.
When the bourgeois apologists speak
of the holiness of the present form of
government they try to make US be-
lieve that the people living in America
have always had the same form of
government, that this present form of
government is immutable, that it has
eternal blessings for the masses.
Our revolutionary forefathers, when
they decided to destroy the domination
of the British ruling class, did not
put much faith in the then existing
governmental institutions under which
they were living. Our forefathers de-
cided to set up their own govern
mental apparatus. The first thing they
did was to clean out the courts, which
then, as now, were the bulwark of the
reactionaries, the Tories Chose who
were loyal to the existing govern
ment).
In a letter which Lorn Dunmore,
governor of Virginia, wrote to Lord
Dartmouth, dated December "a, 1774,
he gave a description of the govern
mental apparatus set up by the revo-
lutionists to displace the existing gov
eminent. He said:
"A committee is chosen in every
county to carry the Association of
the Congress into execution. They
inspect the trade and correspond
eFlce Of every merchant; watch the
conduct of any inhabitant; may send
for, catechise and stigmatize him If
he does not appear to follow the In
structions of their Congress. Every
city, besides, is arming an independ-
ent company to protect their COM
mittee and to be employed against
the government, should occasion re-
qulre. Not a Justice Of the peace
acts except as a committeeman.
Aboishing the courts of justice was
the first step taken"
The American revolutionists set UP
a very effective dictatorship to uproot
all those loyal to the government of
the exploiters and oppressors at that
time. Anybody who did not declare
himself on the side of the revolution
was treated roughly. Even before the
Declaration of independence was is
sued, Connecticut declared that there
should be no more freedom of speech

recognize the extreme difficulty of
bringing it to successful conclusion
without foreign allies"
The French feet and French sol
diers had much to do with the sur
render of CORVALLIS defending the
existing government) to Washington,
champion of the revolutionary govern
ment.
Yes, our American bourgeoisie today
would not like to confess to the work
ers that it was largely thru the al
lance Of our American forfathers with
foreigners" largely thru the use of
foreign" money that the first revolu-
ton was a success and that goodly
portion Of the foundation for the devel-
opment of capitalism in the United
States to it's present heights was thus
laid.
Cheating the Workers.
THE workers paid for and fought
1 the revolutionary war.
The workers took seriously the slo-
gan of the right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. While the
wealthy stayed at home, or often hired
substitutes to fight for them, the work
ers, the mechanics, the poor farmers
had to go to the front. The suffering
of the soldiers at Valley Forge defies
description. At the same time the
rich were waxing fat on fabulous war
profits. Many of the leaders of the
revolutionary movement in 1776
preached radical doctrines to the work
ers, but these leaders failed to put
these doctrines into practice except
against the British ruling class. Adams
summed up the situation very well
when he said:
"The petty aristocracy Of clergy
loyaIists, and merchants scorned the
poor, had no belief in their political
wisdom and at the same time was
thrown into period panics on ac-
count of fear of them. 1t was all
very we'll when the common people
were to be goaded to action and
war to talk about all men
being created equal and of the rights
of all to the pursuit of life, liberty
and happiness, but once the war was
won, the old doctrines Of the supe-
rior rights of the welI-born to gov
ern and the superior sanctity of
their property came once more to
the fore. $.
"The people had been under the
delusion that they had fought an
eight years war for the rights of
man and at the time of the forma-
ton of the constitution many towns
objected strenuously to this further
limitation Of the franchise. Dorches-
ter claimed that men might be use
full and respectable members of So
ciety' even if they did not possess
ESQ.,"
The Washingtons and the Hamiltons
tried their hardest to stop the revolu-
tionary movement from proceeding fur
Their and from altering the relation
ship of classes, yet it was an altera-
ton of the class relationships in favor
