Philosophy Teaching.
History has been described as phi
losophy teaching by experience. In
all countries the field of politics and
government is subject to the law of
cause and effect. If the visible results
are not everywhere the same, it is be-
cause OF the infinite diversity of con-
citions. But of one thing feel as
sured.
If this court plan is enacted into
law and put into effect our Govern

It has been-not in the independence,
dignity and worldwide fame of our
supreme Court; and not in the respect,
esteem and confidence in which it has
been held by the American people
during their entire history"
Praising DR.. Schurman's statement,
Senator Burke read letter from Dan
tel Stevens, former Representative from
Nebraska, who had been scheduled
to speak in Omaha at one of the
rallies in support of the bill sponsored
by Labor's Non-Partisan League.
" Expressing his regret at being unable
b attend the rally, Stevens demanded
Burke's resignation for opposing the
bill and added:

The bill also was opposed this
morning by John w. Wayland, head
OF the history department of the State
Teachers College, Harrisonburg, Va.
He contended the proposal was unnec-
essary, would not accomplish its
apowed purpose and threatened the
independence of the court.
Speaking Of the results of testimony
by more than 80 witnesses, Senator
Van Nuys, Democrat, of Indiana, an
opponent, said before today's hearing:

Wan Nuys plans an attempt to sepa-
rate the Supreme Court section of
the bill from the one increasing the
number of district and circuit court
Judges. He said he believed the COM
nittee would vote unanimously for the
latter, If the Justice Department
showed the need.
