Whereas, there Is definite

Resolved that the National
Society of the Daughters of

affirm its belief that teachers
who receive pay from public
funds should be required to
take the oath Of allegiance to
the Constitution of the United
States"
Another paragraph of the
teachers oath" resolution was
believed BY many members to
have been inserted as q means
Of justifying the stand of DR..
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
Of schools in the District that
local teachers should be given
freer rein in discussing contro-
versial subjects. It read:
"That it Is the belief Of this
society that this pledge of loyalty
should In no way infringe upon
the prerOgstive Of educators to
determine subjects Of study"
PLEDGE TO PRESERVE IDEALS
The resolution on the Constitu.
ton read as follows:
Whereas, we, the descendants
Of those who achieved the liberty
Of the American people and es-
tabIiShed the republic, have an
obligation and duty to preserve
what our ancestors cheated, be

which would result In q change
In our form Of government"
Recommendation that the Con-
stitutton Of the United States be
amended to provide for rescind-
ing citizenship Of persons prov
ing unworthy" was voiced at the
convention today by DR.. Felix
Forte, educator and lecturer, who
said that only good Americans,
irrespective Of race, color or creed"
should be permitted to vote and
enjoy the privileges Of American
democracy.
He startled his audience by de-
claring foreign-born have made
better citizens than native-born,
Declaring that aliens are "Ameri-
cans by choice and not by BIRTH"
DR.. Forte said statistics prove COM
paratively more crime is committed
by the native-born and that there
is q higher percentage Of murders
in those States which have a low
percentage Of alien population.
The constitutional definition of
an American is too broad, how
ever, DR.. Forte told his audience.
He said:
According to the Constitution,
any one born here or naturalized
Is an American citizen. There
are hundreds and perhaps thou
sands of people in this country
who are Americans according to
the definition Of the COnstitu-
ton, and yet are unworthy Of
