OF EDUCATION
NOT DESIRED

THE DEEPENING Crisis In Educa-
tion,' is the title of pamphlet is
sued by the u S. department of the
interior, Harold L. Ickes, secretary.
from the office of education, which
is on file in the county superintend-
ent of schools office.
The pamphlet points out that
over 100000 children were deprived
of educational opportunities this
fall because of the closing of
schools, due to lack of funds. Near
ly 1000 rural schools in "a states
failed to open, "a Catholic schools
affecting 5000 children were closed
and many private and parochial
schools are closing In some COM
munities free public schools have of
necessity become tuition schools,
admitting only those children whose
parents can pay the rate asked.
On the other hand, in foreign
countries, Mexico, Australia, Eng
land, Wales, Ireland, New Zealand,
France and many others, school
systems have been maintained in
the face of depression.
The pamphlet quotes the follow
ing public statement made by Al
fred E. Smith: 1T would not do the
state a bit of harm if we did not
build another mile of road for three
years I could name dozens of
other activities that we could get
along without But one single

Mrs. Spivalo arrived in Westmor-

fact that the lights were out in the

PETROLLE To
BATTLE ROSS
BY lack CUDDY

NEW YORK, Jan. %. - MeSsrs.
Sam Plan and Art Winch, CONAN
ayers of Barney Ross. lightweight
champion, are negotiating with pro-
moters in three cities to give the
Chicago boy a shot at Jimmy Nc
Larnin S welter crown if Ross beats
Billy Petrolle tomorrow night.
It will be a bitter blow indeed to
the Pian-Winch plans if the ancient
Fargo Express Gcrails their young
Mr.. Ross in the scheduled 10-round
non-title bout at the coliseum.
The odds are to in favor of
Barney repeating his Chicago vic
tory of last March over Petrolle,
but plenty of Billy's admirers
doubt his ability to do so.
Some admirers are confident
enough to predict that old Wilyum
will crawl out from under his horse
blanket and knock the champion
among the artichokes before the
eighth round.
The great difference of opinion
as to the outcome rises from the
fact tha. Billy. the Duluth dyna-
inter, is entering the ring at about
142 pounds. This is his natural
fighting weight. No lightweight ev-
er had the audacity to crawl
through the rcpes against Petrolle
when he was slugging with that
poundage behind him.
When Ross took the l0-round de-
cision over him in Chicago. Billy
weighed about 1873. He claimed the
pairing down process made him as
weak as boarding house soup.
Barney will scale about 1877
pounds.

Record Amazing

Lester Patrick, silver r-haired coach

been in hockey since thei ce age, is
one who is amazed at Murdoch's
record.
'Murdoch's mark" Patrick told
us, stands little chance of ever be-
ing tied, much less broken. It's al
most unbelievable that a man could
play through 400 games of big
league hockey without a miss, es-
pecially such a player as Murdoch,
who is always in the middle of the
hottest mix-ups-or skating like the
devil to get into the middle. He is
rough and tough and has been in
some of the damndest crack-ups
you ever saw. Yet, here he is, pink
checked, smiling, and all in one
part"

NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-Some
eight years ago hockey was intro

about the ice sport that he thought
IL was played on horseback. One of
the competing teams that night was

or "Mudhooks," to give him the
name his teammates use, it will be
an epochal occasion. For the simple
reason that when the starting whis-
tie blows. and Mr. Murdochs blades
bite into the ice, he will have put in
round numbers one of the most
amazing iron man" feats sports
has ever known.
Tonight's game with the Ottawa
Senators will be Mr.. Murdoch's
400th consecutive big league hockey
game. The fact that all 400 were
played with one club makes the feat
all the more remarkable. 1t is only
natural to compare Mr. Murdoch
with Mr. Lou Gehrig. who holds the
consecutive game record in base
ball, and ask which is the more
outstanding.
On cold figures. Mr.. Gehrig
would seem to hold an edge, having
played better than 1900 Yankee
games without a miss. But then
baseball isn't hockey The diamond
sport, as she is played in the big
leagues, isn't exactly gentle pas
time, but its hazards are the haZ-
ards of a Browning society meet
ing when compared to hockey. In
juries are rare in baseball; in hook
ey they are as much a part of the
game as the puck. To your men of
the ice siX-stitch cuts, broken bones
and dashed profiles are something
to be expected. Baseball players can
get life insurance during the play
ing season-hockey players can't.
They're worse risks than Steeple-

gists who explored the inner lining

BY Alex BitteIman

For the class conscious American
workers, but especially for its
younger generation. there is great
significance in the fac that the two
militant working class fighters in
the labor movement OF the United
States in this century-the i'm
perialist era-the two men who rep
resent most fully the best and most
advanced achievements of TIE
American working class, Ruthent erg
and Foster-that both of these be-
came the builders of the Communist
Party, the builders and followers of
the Communist International. Ruth
eflberg we have lost altogethe- too
soon; March of this year marks
the seventh anniversary of his
death; but the value of his work
in founding our Party, in pointing
the way to the Communist Interna-
tional for other thousands of work
ers, and in guiding our movement
for many years, this will never be
lost. Now our movement has Foster

power has never weakened but is
growing stronger with the sharpen
ing of the class struggles. Ruthen-
berg and Foster came to the Com
rlunist international because in
the proletsrian interhationalism Of
Lcnin's teachings, which guide the
Conintern work, both had found the
solution Of all those problems and
tasks that confronted them and the
American working class in the pres
ent epoch. Ruthenberg's experiences
had been acquired in the Socialist
Party, chiefly on the political field;
Fosters, on the other hand, were
ACQUIRED mainly on the trad7 l'nie1
field. The revolutionary instinct
and consciousness of RIthenber5
could not but rebel against the

revolutionary consciousness of Fos-

guard. The coming together of
these two revolutionists and their
followers into one working class
Party marked an historic event of
the first magnitude. The NEARING
Of this event was that. for the first
time in the history of the American
working class. there came to an
end the traditional separation be-
tween the advanced revolutt7re~y
elements of the Socialist political
one hand, and the revolutionary
clements of hte Socialist political
parliamentary Party, on the other.
The traditional separation was per-
haps the largest single factor that
had retarded, in the past, the COM
ing into life in the United States
Of a proletarian revolutionary Party
of the feminist kind. Ruthsnberg
end Foster started the process OF
liquidating this separation by COM
ing together in the building of the
Communist Party in the United
States. To this they came by the
memorable logic of the class strug-
gle in the United States and the
point at which they met and joined
hands was LeniIlism ard the Com
munist International.
In the fifteen years of its existence
the Comintern has grown into
true World Party. 1t has reached
the high stage where all "Commu-
mist Parties are carrying out one
single line OF the Comintern," a
stage where all Communist Parties
