WORLD wide STRIKE WAVE FOR SACCO, VANzET'II
Current EUentS
By T. J. o'FLAHnrr.

THERE is little else that one can
1 talk about nowadays except the
Sacco-Vanzetti case. L hey are
doomed to death on the tenth day of
this month. The governor of the
state of Massachusetts has decreed it.
Nothing can halt the hand of the eX-
ecutioner except the mass protest of
the entire labor movement of the Uni
ted States. Will this protest be made
sufficiently strong to impress the
capitalists?
COMETIMES we are charged with
~ unfairness, even by sympathizers
with the Communist movement. Many
well-irrtentioned persons believe that
the capitalists, taken individually, are
fine fellows, but that they don't see
things in the right way. Hokum.
They see things in the way that bene-
fits their class as whole and them
selves individually. Governor Fuller
of Massachusetts, himself million
aire capitalist, hates the ideas that
Sacco and Vanzetti stand for and
takes a pleasure in sending them to
the chair. That is what there is to
it.
JUSTICE! He'll Would I think of
justice if I had portly capitalist
burglar in front of me and if | were
on the bench with a portfolio of COM
missar of proletarian justice sur
rounding me? would simply con-
slider, if it were expedient from the
point of view that I held to blot this
parasite off the map or otherwise.
This is the standard of justice in a
class society. Any one who en-
dangers the present order of society
is considered a menace by those who
profit by the existing order. Can you
blame them for feeling sore? No.
But that is not all there is to it.
HERE is where we get to funda-
III mentals. The class that Sacco
and Vanzetti stand for, produce what
the whole human race lives on. But
those that produce do not enjoy all
tney ptOuuCS. dIdSiCSS WHO never
put hand to plow or machine, cross
the ocean whenever they feel like it
and command any luxury they crave
for. Under the social order that
Sacco and Vanzetti envison only
those who produce, according to their
ability would share the products of
society as whole. Is it surprising
then that the bawdy plutes who batten
on the unpaid labor of the workers

STRESSINC OF ENGLISH FUNDAMENTALS
WILL BE ASKED OF STATES TEACHERS
Proper Spelling, Punctuation
and Use of Right Grammat-
ical Constructions Declared
Most Important Thing by
Department of Public In
structiOn

Teachers Of English in North Da
kota high schools will be asked t.
stress the fundamentals Of the
language in their work this year, ac.
cording to announcement by the state
department of public instruction.
It is more important that high
school students be able to spell and
punctuate correctly and to use prop
or grammatical construction in SEN
fences than that they be able to recite
from the classics or quote Shake.
speare. department officials say.
The reason for the determination
to bring North Dakota high school
students back to bed rock in their
English work is that recent survey
showed the average high school stu
dent to he deficient in this respect.
Essentials Test Given
The survey was conducted by
means of test known as the Eng
fish Essentials test which is designed
to give the examiner fair idea of
what the student knows about pune
tuation. spelling and grammatical con-
structon. The result, as compiled
from the records Of $4,000 students
who took the test last May was dis
appointing, not 10 say poor.
The average for the four high
school grades. taking the papers Of
100000 students In all parts Of the
country as standard. was TAG. The
average for the four high school
grades in North Dakota was 6S.3.
This is believed to represent q
fair cross section Of the ability OF
the average high school student since
the test was given in classified, con.
solidated and graded high schools
and in unclassified schools with
high school departments.
The average North Dakota high
school freshman scored 62.5 as com.
pared with C8.2 for the nation. The
average sophomore scored 63.4 as
/ compared with standard Of 1913; the
average junior scored 1913 as com
pared with 1913 and the average sen.
Tor 1872 as compared with 82.4.
In some cases the freshman in a
high school made better grades than
students in the upper classes. This
according to J. A. Page, state high
school inspector, merely means that
the students have grown careless aft
er leaving the grammar grades and
have not been checked up by their
high school instructors. In Other
schools the average for the student!

that for the state as a whole. This

ehat vicinity or n w0efuI failure to

Must Learn Grammar
The schools owe it not only to the
students themselves but to the state,
their parents and their prospective
employers to turn out students who
can construct grammatical sentences,
spell and punctuate properly, Page
said. He has heard the oft-repeated
plea of business men for stenogra-
piers who can spell and believes it to
be justified.
/ Although the rating of various
high schools will be kept secret by
the department, graphs will be pre-
pared showing the average for the
nation, the average for the state and
the average. for each individual
school. Each school will receive a
copy Of the graph showing its rela-
tive standing with whatever sugges-
tions the department of public in
struction sees fit to make under the
circumstances. Each school, will be
urged to give special attention to
those students who are below the
average.
In order to avoid repeating the
business of teaching grammar in the
high school grades the department
has decided to recommend to Eng
lish teachers that they use greater
care in grading the papers submitted
by pupils in their ordinary English
work. BY checking such errors and
forcing the student to rewrite his
theme or paper correctly the teacher
can bring forcibly to his mind the
necessity of paying attention to the
fundamentals, Page said.
The department plans to give the
test again this year after the schools
have had an opportunity to apply the
suggested new system and hopes to
see marked Improvement in the North
Dakota standard.

Plentiude of Jobs .
Reported in State

Plenty Of jobs are available IN
North Dakota for those who want to
work, according to j. A. Kitchen,
Commissioner Of agriculture and
labor.
Reports received at his office,
which is charged by law with super
vision of the work Of providing work
ers for the harvest fields, indicat.
that the demand for is keen but
that most farmers are able to OBJ.
tain all the help they need.
Kitchens office is not active in
the work Of recruiting labor this
year, no appropriation having been
made for that work by the last legis-
lature. His personal observation
Kitchen said, is that in many cases
farmers are pressing all available
members Of their own families into
service in an effort to get the crop
harvested.

Thousands View Pageant.

New York, Aug. 24.-Under low
ering skies and through intermittent
show ers $4,000 drenched but smiling
and gaily clad Negro Elks marched,
charlestonad and cakewalked their
way up Fifth Avenue from Sixty
fr.t Street to Harlem yesterday af
ternoon in the four-hoar parade of
& Grana lodge OF the Improved
Benevolent and Protective Order OF
Elks Of tire World.
Assembling at o'clock under the
command of Grand Marshal Joseph
Brown, members of 500 lodges from
every State and many foreign coun-
tries fell into line with their twenty
five banjs and passed perhaps 100,
600 cheering onlookers, who lined
The streets and crowded the windows
OF Harlem buildings, gay with bunt-
ing and banners of every descrip-
ton. Leaving Fifth Avenue at 10th
Street, the marchers went west to
Lenox Avenue, up to 125th Street,
and again west to Seventh Avenue,
finally disbanding at 149th Street
and Lenox Oval.
For an hour the procession passed
in review before Grand Exalted
Ruler j. Finley Wilson and his staff
in the grandstand at Seventh Ave-
nue. and 145th Street. Feminine
members, known as ''Does," were
almost as numerous as marchers of
the other sex, while the leader of
the women's band set the toes of
marchers and bystanders tickling
with the notes of Charleston"
CAN'T 81 e Cute" and "Me and My
ShaGow A delegation of thirty
Negro policemen from the West
1S5th Street Station among the
marchers received loud cheers and
applause.
White uniforms with purple trou-
'ser-stripes and collars were the
fashion for the men, though tuxedo
coats and white fannels were also
seen, with heavy sprinkling of gold
braid and brass buttons. One dig
nifed group with top-hats and cut
aways followed a score of mounted
policemen who were in the van. The
women ran strongly to white and
gold, with an occasional group in
brown, cerise, purple and other
colors.
Rules against singing, talking,
chewing gum and dancing while in
marching-order were issued by the
committee in charge of the parade,
but the spirit of goodwill which pre-
vailed found many dancing to the
music of the bands and shouting to
friends at the sides. A motion pic
ture concern made use of the parade
as background for film, while 800
policemen under Inspector Thomas
D. Ryan found that they had little
to do. Tonight there will be a band
concert in Manhattan Casino at
155th Street and Eighth Avenue, and
tomorrow will see the election of the
