don's gentle admonition.
That some teachers do advocate
communism or socialism in class
rooms there can be no doubt. II the
practice did not exist teachers oaths
would hardly have been adopted by
% States. The practice is not spo-
radio; it is widespread and appears
to be to some degree organized. A

cational program is carried out, few

Local Opinion Is Guide.
That teachers ought not to engage
in propagating a social system alien
to the country goes without saying.
No one will have any difiiculty in
realizing that a teacher ought not to
advocate in his class room a religion
alien to the country. With the Chr>-
tian religion prevailing in America, a
teacher would be grossly out of order
who in his class room would advo-
cate the Buddhist religion. And in
the field of government and social
organization communism is as alien to
America as Buddhism in religion.
But We come back to the concrete
fact. Some teachers do advocate
communism in the class room. APP
parently some are zealots about it,
insist upon doing it, defy disapproval
Of their doing it. In this situation
what is to be done? Is the country
at the mercy of the teachers? Do
teachers have a license to impose
new social system on America? II
the teachers oath" is wrong, what
is the right remedy?
The answer, I suspect, Is to be
found in the same quarter as the an
swers to some ether questions of gov
ernment. The essential unit of So
ciety in America is the local COM
munity of neighborhood size. That
is the court of last resort. It's opin-
ion on many subjects is expressed by
the juries in local courts On other
matters its view is expressed by units
OF local government. AS respects
teaching in the public schools, the
view of the community Is properly
expressed by the local school board.
The remedy is to remove teachers
who propagate belief not approved
by the community. In most cases,
think, appointment and removal OF
teachers is in the hands OF local
boards made up Of elected citizens.

use a class room to put forward his
own pet views and theories. If he
does, he Is no longer teacher; he is
a propaganda ."
The facts underlying this incident
are fairly well known. The charge
has been widely made that some
teachers in some schools teach COM
munism-teach it, that Is. in the
sense Of advocating 1t, causing pupils
to believe 1t is better form of society
for America than the one we have.
To meet this, some States have re-
quired teachers to take an oath, diff
ferently worded in different jurisdic-
tions, in which the teacher promises
that he will not advocate communism
In his class rooms.
Two Vices in Oath.
These teachers oaths" Landon
condemns. In that, most persons IA
miliar with history will agree. The
teachers oath" has two vices. 1t
imposes on all a requirement which
is properly applicable only to some.
The spirit of American and British
law and Government is that crime, or
fault or responsibility of any kind, Is
personal and individual that If an
individual is under blame, the indi.
vidual should be treated as an in
dividual.
Requiring whole group to submit
to discipline for something which only
some of the group are doing is like
the practice of military governors of
conquered territories, who often re-
quire whole villages to be responsible
for the acts of any of the inha bitants.
1t proceeds on the principle of collec-
tive responsibility: and 1t has no place
in a country in which individualism
is the basis of society. A great ma
jority Of our public school teachers
do not inculcate communism. To sub
ject all to an oath in order to check
a few is not an American way.
Besides, oaths Of this kind are rarely
effective. The history of religious
controversy is dotted with them. When
one religion had control of the state ii
prescribed oaths designed to compel
acqulescence by adherents of the other.
1t is doubtful if the device ever sue
ceeded in stamping out the religion
against which it was directed.
I once saw on the walls of Trinity
College. Dublin, the oath by which a
Protestant government during the
eighteenth century tried to insure that
no member nf parlia ont sbo,,ld ha =,
Catholic. The member was required
to swear that he was not a Catholic,
that he would not become a Catholic,
that he took this oath without mental
reservation. that he regarded perjury
as a sin for which he would be pun
ished in the next world. and that in
taking this oath he was not relying on
the expectation that the priests of
his church would grant him forgive

'lunatic fringe" Of Bull Moose days
has its counterpart in California in
everything from E. P. 1. c. doctrine
to communism.
The most plausible answer given
was the statement that California
probably has more old people than
proportionately any other State would
have, that folks come here at ad-
vanced age because of the climatic
conditions, and that whether they are
supported by relatives who would like
to have Uncle Sam relieve them of
the, burden or by meagre savings, the
fact remains that DR.. Townsend hit
upon an idea that won converts by
the hundreds of thousands.
1t naturally spread to other Pacific
Coast and Rocky Mountain States.
There is a close kinship between these
States. Senator Borah was talking
to me about it the other day. He
spoke of the many Idaho people who
60 to California and afterward keep
up a constant correspondence with
relatives in Idaho. He seemed to
think Idaho, for instance, was some
what California conscious. Anyway,
there is a sizeable Townsend vote in
many of the Western States, for in
several instances there have been
Townsend candidates in the field in
the congressional primaries of both
major parties.
Political Reaction Traced.
What assumption is there for be-
iieving that these TownSendites, if
left to choose between Gov. Landon
and President Roosevelt, would choose
the Republican nominee? The Re-
publican leaders. who have been turn
ing this question over in their minds,
have identified many of the Town
sendites as former Republicans, to be
sure, and the fact that President
Roosevelt personally aided the con-
gressional committee that prosecuted
DR.. Townsend has made a deep i'm
preston on many of the Townsend
followers.
But on the whole the Townsend
contingent favors 5000 a month by
means Of Federal spending. And
strictly speaking, the New Deal ad-
ministration which believes in spend
ing, no matter where the money is
coming from to pay it back, has more
in common with the Townsendites
than has Gov. Landon.
But the Roosevelt administration
through its cabinet officers and other
spokeSmen has ridiculed the Town
send plan. What then are the Town
sendites to do? They would like to
demonstrate their strength. They
would like to show both parties that
they are growing and that they can
command votes.
