KRAMER DEFENDS
|" SCHOOL SYSTEM
Holds D. C. Outstanding in
Development of Junior
High Schools.

A vigorous defense Of the Washington
school system in. answer to critics was
laid before the Bnrleith Citizens Asso-
citation at Gordon Junior High School
last night by Stephen 4. Kramer,
assistant superintendent Of schools.
Describing the entire school system,
Mr.. Kramer praised especially the
growth here Of the junior high school,
and expressed the opinion that Wash
ington was perhaps the outstanding
city in the country in the junior high
school development" When he was In
New York City to inspect junior high
schools there, the speaker said, he found
as such, one in the Bronx and one in
Brooklyn.
Progress Great in 10 Years.
Recalling that he had been in the
schools here for 40 years, Mr. Kramer
declared that the system had made
more progress in the last 10 years than
in the 80 years before. The system
has gained prestige, he said, 1t is ac-
cepted educationally everywhere, it Is
putting up new buildings, it is improv
normal schools, and has developed a
respectable" salary scale for teachers,
which he declared was not adequate yet,
but well up in the average of the cities
Of the country. The pension system
has been introduced, and a system of
appointment and promotion worked out
for picking and advancing teachers
solely on their merit, on their fitness.
A compulsory attendance law had been
passed and school census taken.
Over 20 per cent of the pupils in
Washington are in the high schools,
the speaker declared. Nearly 95 per
cent Of the elementary school grad
yates 60 on into high school here, he
said, and with the introduction of the
junior high school, there was further
urge to finish senior high school. Both
the compulsory school attendance Law
and the child labor law were influential
factors In school attendance, he said,
adding, "A lot of this talk about chill
dren leaving school because of the
economic urge is exaggeration. Most
parents will work their fingers to the
bone to keep their children in school.
and children win stay in school as a
rule, If they are happy and successful"
CoIored Schools well Managed.
Mr.. Kramer praised the administra-
q,
declaring they were well managed and
well taught.
Answering recent criticism of the
Cadet Corps, Mr. Kramer declared the
corps could not be judged on its mill
tary benefit alone. The corps was the
only big organization in the school to
which all boys were eligible, the speaker
said, explaining 1t was great oppor-
tunity to give the growing boys some
thing active to do and further In
centive to scholarship.
The recent attack on the cadets he
characterized as "thoughtlesSness, and
said that In his opinion it was simply
silly" to talk about cadets as
'militariSts"
The association Endorsed a resolution
asking that the District National Guard
be provided with suitable quarters fol
an armory.
George Middleton, delegate to thu
Federation of Citizens Associations, an.
nounced that the annual banquet o.
the federation will be held March 2:

able from the federation secretary

Preparing For Inter

Observation-Disclosures Lyceum,
&C f. Fourth st.
Harlem-New Harlem Casino,
18th st. and LenoX Ave.
Bronx-569 Prospect Ave.
Programs containing dances, sing

Mr.. Hillquit and the socialist
party have promised the bosses be-
fore the entrance of the United
States in the last world war that
they will offer no interference in
the form of strikes or any other
means. The same attitude was
taken by the Socialist parties all
over the world.
/ Now, the socialist parties are
again working in cooperation with
the bosses, preparing the youth for
war against the only workers gov
eminent, the Soviet Union. At the
same time the conditions of the
young workers are growing worse
every day.
/ The Young Communist League
calls upon young workers at this
time to rally to the defense of the
Soviet Union, for the demand for
unemployment insurance, for the

WORKING WOMEN
IN ELECTION MEET
Conference Will Take
Place Sept. 10th

That the so-called Investigations
of food racketeering were only a
means of covering up the racketeers,
is now clear to every worker, par
ticularly to every working woman
and working housewife who has to
pay higher prices for the food she
buys. The noise is over, Tammany
has investigated" and now the
profiteers can go about their bust
ness, stronger than ever.
According to the census there are
20 million working housewives in
the United States. These house
wives particularly feel the burden
of the present wave of wage cuts,
unemployment and, in addition, of
food racketeering. The millions of
working housewives in New York
City feel every day the effect of
the Tammany investigation" which
has given the racketeers a clean
bill.
Now that the election day is ap-
preaching all working women,
whether working in shops or at
home, must mobilize to give their
answer to all the three capitalist
parties-republican, democratic or
socialist"
On Saturday, Sept. 20, 1880, a
big Working Women's Election Con-
ference will be held at the Workers
Center. All working women's or
CARNATIONS must send delegates to
this very important gathering and
mobilize around the Communist
Party and its candidates in the COM
ing elections. The Communist Par
ty alone is fighting for real relief
for the unemployed and has intro
duced the Unemployment Insurance
Bill which provides for the pay
ment of $25 weekly to all workers
out of jobs and SIS additional to
every dependent. The Communist
Party demands that all funds of the
government war chest should go to
help the unemployed. The Com
munist Party fights against wage
cuts, against food profiteering, it
fights for equal pay for equal work
for women and men, Negro and
white. All working class women's
organizations must be represented
at the election conference, Sept. 20.

PROTEST SENDING
OF WORKERS TO
FASCIST DEATH
LID. Leads Fight to
Save Serio

Exposing the fact that the United
States government has adopted a
definite policy of deliberately de-
porting radical workers to fascls,
countries, where they face instant
death, j. Louis Engdahl, Communist
candidate for Lieutenant Governor
of New York, speaking at Manhat
tan Lyceum, Ga e. Fourth St., last
night wednesday, called for the
widest possible protest to save the
life of the Italian worker, Guido
Serio, now being held at Ellis Island
"All workers must demand that
Serio have the right to remain
in this country" declared Engdahl
His only crime is that he spoke at
a mass meeting of Italian workers
in Erie, Pa, on Sunday night, May
II. He is sent to death by the
United States government purely on
account of his political views.
an similar cases the Information
al Labor Defense has fought for
and won the right of voluntary de-
parture," continued Engdahl. This
privilege is now being denied to
Serio. The government plans to
send him to fascist Italy, to become
another working class victim of the
Mussolini terrorist regime. Thus
Washington tightens its grip with
the Fascist murderers of Italy.
THE Department of L b T,
through J. l.. Powers, U. S. immi-
grafton offices, also made new his
tory for it's deportation tyranny in
demanding $4,000 bail for Serio,
the highest ever demanded. 1t was
impossible for workers to provide
this bail and Serio has remained in
prison ever since his arrest"
Protests from workers organiza-
tions in all sections of the country
against Serio's deportation are be-
ing rushed to the Commissioner Gen
eral of immigration, Department of
Labor. Washington, ID. C.
Engdahl announced that writ Of
habeas corpus had been secured re-
turnable Sept. 9, before Judge Rob
ert p. Patterson, in the Federal Dis
trict Court.
Engdahl declared that similar
fate faced Rade Radekovich, Jugo-
Slav worker, now being held at Gal
weston, Texas.
"Serio and Radekovich must be
SAVED from the hangmen of Italy
and Jugo-Slavia,' said Engdahl
This can only be done through
working class mass protest against
this action by the Washington gov
eminent"
