$4,000 children. And three
month play period was over at
9 a. m. today.
Thousands of children piled
into the doors of ITO buildings in
all sections of the city.
Approximately 5000 made their
first excursion into the classroom
when the first bell of the school
year called the vacationers to
duty. A large number went into
kindergarten, but the majority
had their first taste of the class
rooms in the first grade.
Three New Schools
Three new buildings were put
into operation. They are the new

ously been expected, the total en-
rollment at the Hearst School
for the first day today was 236,
comfortably filling the eight-room
building.
In the kindergarten, a special
feature of the school because of
Mrs. HearSt's outstanding con-
tributions to kindergarten in
struction, SO children have en-.
rolled. Miss Sarah B. Holland,
principal of the school expects
that the enrolment will ocme up

surrounding grounds is being
completed.

completed, but it is expected that

A special detail of traffic police
was sent to the vicinity of the
Roosevelt High School to direct
traffic. 1t was explained bv
School officials that the request
1or the extra police was made be-
cause of the large numbers Of

Losing Liberty

The plain fact is says DR. Butler that there is
slant and vigorous invasion of the sphere liberty by gov
ernment This would be justifiabe enough under
taken IN to the clearly expressed popular will
If were obviously done in the general public interest 1t is
however, true that these nvasons almost always the
suit of private group sectional interest operating
through wellorganzed propaganda"
We have been losing liberties for long tm and the
unfortunate thing that the only defenders Of liberty
people whom most conservatives consider dangerous
Civil Liberties Union for example The very Of con
servatve ought to suggest that the nonradcas should stick
to and odashoned principles of free Speech
free press free assembly The made when the
servaves became attached to profit and property that
they became willing sacrifice all other freedoms for the
freedom of making and acquiring land and houses and
mines and yachts When the conservatives gave liberty away
to the radicals they committed political suicide
The young from Annapolis, reading history will dis
that there have been conservatives who cared deeply for
liberty. Even for the liberty of young to marry.

if they are to get their commissions; 4;
but the coincidence is stimulating.
Since the young officers cannot marry,
they will have the consultations of his
tory, literature, economics and gov
ernment; since they must have two
years of bachelorhood, their minds
will be less cluttered with mathe-
MATES and engineering and seaman
ship. 1t is a good idea. The young
man swooning with love, but con-
demned to celbacy will at least be
able to write a poem to his mistress
eyebrow in perfect metre; and if he
wishes to dispute the authority of
the Government he will have all his
tory to fall back on.

The State is bigger than the Government because the
State includes both the sphere of government the

and oppresses (and from highwaymen and
booeggers and the State what employs the Government
and at the same time, preserves our liberty.

PacifiSt Meeting In
Washington, D. c.

against the bourgeois women's con
ference on the Cause and Cure OF
War, will be held in Washington
One demonstration will be held in
the needle trades market, at 36th
st. and Eighth Ave, at noon, to ex-
pose the strike breaking role of the
Women's Trade Union League and
its connection with this pacifist
women's conference. Another dem
onstration will take place at Fulton
and Court SITS, in Brooklyn, one in
Brighton Beach, and large mass
meeting at pm. in Coney Island at
the Boardwalk Hotel.
The Conference on the Cause and
Cure Of War" which will be held in

n1lsleads working women about the
real cause OF war and keep them
from carrying on struggle against
war At this conference will be pre-
scented thousands Of signatures TO q
disarmament petition to be presented
in Geneva.
All the bourgeois women's organ
izstions which are circulating these
petitions and taking part in this
racifist conference, organized DOW
erful war machines for the govern
r1ent during the last war. They talk
about peace and disarmament and at
