Professor Counts remains hopeful
of a victory for American demo-
cracy. Upon what basis? In
part, upon a faith in what might be
accomplished by a reorganized and
genuinely democratic system of
education in which the teachers con-
sciously bore their full part. I
share a good deal of his enthusiasm
for what a genuinely democratized
education could effect in America.
My doubt is whether it is a possible
venture within the confines of the
present economic system. Teachers,
as a whole, do not share those major
purposes of reform which men like
Professor Counts and some of his
colleagues have worked so nobly to
promote. They are not strongly
organized to protect themselves from
vested interests. He invites them
to a daring challenge. l admire the
purpose of his invitation. But l
think it probable that, if their choice
is to be between challenge and Sc
curity, most of them, however re-
luctantly, will choose security. He
must not forget that the stage has
arrived in the American economy
where the problems of an intellec-
tual proletariat have become out
standing. The aim of the teacher
is not merely to teach; it is also to
pay his way through life. So long
as the price of great teaching is
economic insecurity, the shadows of
unemployment will, l suspect, per-
suade most teachers to find safety
in the ivory tower; and most of
them will have little difficulty in
convincing themselves that the ivory
tower is not a prison.-Harold Laski,
in The Yale Review, Winter 1899.

LEGISLATURE
TODAY
More Thdn Six Hundred
Measures Introduced
During Session (.

Helena, Mont, March 1-UP-
Montana'S 26th assembly en-
tered it's closing day today with
a record of conservative, order
ly legislation behind, marked
chiefly by death of three bills
to legalize gambling and Gov
Roy E. Ayers veto of a 30-day
divorce law.
Only labor bill to be approved
by the assembly was one pro-
viding for posting of bonds by
mine operators to insure wages
to employees.
Also designed as an aid to
the little man" was a bill linn
iting the rate of interest charge
able by wage brokers to 10 per
cent a year or three per cent
a month, and providing for sup
ervision of money lenders.
Also killed were two bills to
set up a little Wagner act" in
the state and numerous wage
hour bills. No new taxes had
been voted to replace increased
appropriations for conservation
and public welfare, and as the
session entered final days, the
state faced an 100000 annual
shortage.
Directly affecting farmers
were a bill passed by both
houses giving a state milk con-
troll board dictatorial powers
over the dairy industry and a
bill charging powers of a state
grazing administrator workins
In cooperation with national
grazing authorities.
Killed in the senate was a
bill to bring Montana's drivers
license requirements into line
with those established by the
National Safety Council, and
setting up examinations for all
prospective motorists.
Despite the nearly 700 meas
ures introduced in the two hous-
es, residents of Montana were
to note little effect from the
session. Most laws passed clar-
flied old statutes or pertained
to administration only remote
ly connected with the average
citizen.
