Desire Is Fundamental"


Desire Is Fundamental"
SCRIPTURE: Read-Psalms 40.
Il delight to do thy will, o my
God; yea, Thy law is within my
heart Cps. 4O:S). IF a man love
men,. he will keep my word; and
my Father will love him, and we
will come unto him, and make our
abode with him" (Jn. 1929. IF any
man willeth to do his will, he shall
know of the teaching Gn. 710.
See-Psalms 574; Matthew %; 81;
5S:14.
MEDITATION: 1t is never posi-
sible to know too much; it is, how
ever, always possible to misuse what
we know, much or little. Most of
us must live without exhaustive
knowledge. NOBODY can know ev-
erything; many are quite misin-
formed. But whoever desires to do
Gods will can have all the necessary
information to keep him busy in
righteousness, with more to come
day by day, and forever. l will there
fore turn my face toward His and
do His will as He reveals it. If it
takes me by the way of Calvary, as
it did Jesus, 1 will not shrink.
ut is all in vain that the mirror
exists in the room if it is lying on
it's face; the sunbeams cannot reach
it until it is upturned to them. Even
so it is with thee, my soul"
HYMN:
Dear Lord and Father of man
kind,
Forgive our feverish ways;
Reclothe us in our rightful mind,
In purer lives Thy service fund,
In deeper reverences, praise.
Drop Thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain
and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace
Breathe through the hearts of
our desire
Thy GOODNESS and Thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh re-
tire;
Speak through the earthquake,
wind and fire,
o still, small voice of calm
John G.. Whittier, 1872.
PRAYER: Jray for-knowledge
with pure purpose; effectiveness in
life; lovers of things; parents.
Collect-Our Father in Heaven,
whose patience knows no bounds, we
thank Thee for the oncoming of
Thy kingdom in the world, and for
the means of grace in our lives. We
bless Thee for the Son of Man; serv-
ing in Galilee, loving in Judea,
triumphing in Gethsemane, atoning
on Calvary and rising from the
grave. We rejoice in our .redemp-
ton through Him and in the hope
of Immortality brought by Him.
Yet in our weakness we have set
our hearts on things on the earth.
We have thought success better
than righteousness and ease desir-
able above service. In Thy patience
brood over our dull spirits till love
| awakens in us. We commit our
selves to the Son of Man in holy
living and loving service, for His
names sake. Amen.

The militant struggles of labor are
omitted; tales of lobbying and lick
splitting are told Surely nothing
here to inspire workers to struggle
in their own behalf. An interpreted
ton is given that the employers would
subscribe to 100 per cent. The story
of Canada-present and future is
written by business agent of the l..
A. of NJ, dealing with facts on re-
sources, ETC., but nothing on labor.
There are three editorials, the first
dealing with Canada's birthday. The
second laments the fact that only 25
per cent of the members took part in
the Grand Lodge Elections, but in
stead of probing for causes of this
discomfort, it throws out the sugges-
ton for the abolition of election by
referendum, and the return to cleo
ton by convention. Discussing the
automobile organization campaign,
Editor Hewitt throws cold water on
the campaign. He says: However,
time alone will reveal whether it is
possible to organize this industry,
which during the past quarter of a
century has become the leading in
dustry of the country"

es. The correspondence concerns it
self with insurance and helping

help in manufacturing, but hardly
anything about organization, nothing
about fighting injunctions, amalga-

The High Cost Of Learning

college more than a bare three or

Special" courses are most expensive.
If he does manage to get through
a graduate school he will probably
find himself in an overcrowded pro-
fession, where in order to get to the
"top" he needs must get few years
of a European finishing-off process
a most expensive process.
However, although it is obvious
that in society which is built on
a theory Of Every man for himself
and the devil take the hindmost"
education must sooner or later be-
come club with which young men
and women bludgeon living out Of
society, and that capitalism controls
the colleges as one Of the means of
propaganda for it own purposes and
for the purpose Of training a class
of young lackeys for itself, neverthe-
less much can be done right now by
the students and by the workers,
farmers and small merchants, the
children Of whom cannot attain to a
thoro education under present con-
ditions.
In the first place students must
organize themselves into great Stu
dent Associations and fight back
vigorously any attempts to dilute
the quality of the education, to make
tuition rates prohibitive, and to
propaganda the students. In the
second place the purse strings for
the colleges must be in the hands Of
capable educators appointed by La
Dor Party administration which
means, in short, that what the coll
leges need right now is to be put
into the hands of the state-which
further means that the workers, far
mers and small merchants of Ameri-
ca must combine to form a Labor
Party. However. as the writer has
said above, the above measures do
not mean the complete cure of the
educational system. They are merely
steps in the right direction, neces-
sarily narrow because of the rigid
confines of the capitalistic system,
one which does not allow for the
free development Of real education.
And that's that as far as immediate
demands are concerned. Let us not
forget that these are but temporary
and cannot cure the fundamental
rottenness of the institution of learn
ing, rottenness which comes from
the fact that education under a pri-
vate property system Of production
which means private property
system of society-teaches men to
take out of society rather than to
put into society. The basic cure, and
one which all socially alert students
and young workers should recognize,
is the reconstruction of society along
cooperative lines, where education
teaches men to work together in the
building and identifying of society
and where learning, the treasure Of
the ages, is the possession of the
many rather than the privileged, UNI
appreciative few.

BY sTuDE.

Like everything else owned by the
capitalist class education IS being
marked up and a good technical or
liberal education will be received only
by the top strata Of the bourgeoisie.
The old dream Of the ambitious ship
ping clerk to go to night school and
enter one Of the supposedly higher
paid professions is being dissipated
today. Modern conditions of educa-
ton are showing to students and
would-be students - who heretofore
have refused to take part in the
struggle of labor, thinking them
selves on the road to deliverance from
the class struggle-that their condi-
tions and their situation are similar
to the conditions and situations in
which the working class finds itself.
This tendency has finally received
expression in words uttered by none
other than our famous dime dis
penser, John D. Rockefeller, at the
graduation exercises of one of the
most aristocratic institutions on the
Eastern coast, Brown University,
held last week at Providence, r. 1.
Said the oily sage Quotation is from
N. Y. Times): g. the colleges to-
day must turn to a new policy of
meeting expenses through high tut
ton fees. :" Further on the
New York Times correspondent re-
ports John D. to have stated that "the
student is paying less than half the
cost Of his education;" that che urged
that this 'philanthropic idea be done
away with" that "those able to pay
be called upon for the full cost, with
(this last hypocritic sop for public
consumption and means nothing
Stude) scholarship funds and student
loans reserved to assist those actually
needing them"
That this situation is well-known to
educators and pink-tea liberals and is
considered dangerous, is testified by
the statement made by Dean Jervey
of the Columbia Law School to the
graduates of Columbia. Educational
institutions, like every one else have
felt the higher cost of living. Tuition
fees have gone steadily up and the
end is not yet. This is true generally
throughout the educational world. 1t
means that if we are not careful,
educational advantages will be open
to the rich rather than the worthy
As a remedy for this Dean Jervey
suggested a system of scholarship
aid, to be awarded to poor but
worthy" students. Scholarship aid
he claimed, was the only way to pre-
vent the door of education being
closed in the face of the man with
brains and character but without
means.
What is the educational situation
today? The young worker finds il
impossible to go to college and very
often cannot go to high school. The
petty traders son, who attends col
lege only at the cost of limitless
sacrifices, sees that he cannot attend

nearly 500 youths and 60 girls who
have been in eight months study cruise

attention from their studies. One stu

anywhere, ashore or at seattle blue
skies and moonlight of the Mediter-
ranean or of the balmy south Pacific
are no more seductive than those of
Missouri, or Massachusetts in this re-
spect" Despite rumors to the con-
trary, the students maintain that the
tour thus far has not produced one
single engagement.
IF any marriages do result from
the cruise" it is declared, ''the cou-
pies ought to live happy ever after
