Education
In Democracy
Is Urged
DR.. Bigelow Says
TooMuch Emphasis
Placed on Books

Education in democracy. as well
as for democracy, should be stressed
In American schools, declared DR..
Karl w. Bigelow of the Commission
on Teacher Education, American
Council on Education, before the
civics-education section Of the
Twentieth Century Club at lunch
con yesterday at the Y. w. c. A.
DR.. Bigelow, who is on leave from
Teachers College, Columbia Univer-
sity, expressed the belief that many
schools place too much emphasis on
what textbooks teach about democ-
racy and overlook the practical in
struction, which should come
through personal contacts and daily
relationships at school.
I'VE frequently hear Of education
for democracy, or education about
democracy DR.. Bigelow said, but
we often lose sight of the impor-
tance of education in democracy
Three Basic Elements.
In such a program, three basic
elements should not be overlooked,
the speaker advised. These he
enumerated as: Faith in the unique
worth of each individual; recognition
of the fact that the life of each in
dividual is ineScapably interviewer
with the lives of others, and that the
sovereign means Of solving conflicts
and problems in human relation
ships is to use both reason and
reasonableness."
Encouragement of friendGness
and fairness should be recognized
as important as the information
contained in books, DR.. Bigelow
added.
Nowadays" he said, schools
stress, in too great degree, that
student should know about some
thing rather than to know some
thing"
Question and Answer Lesson.
A question and answer discussion
followed DR.. Bigelow's talk, during
which he was asked his opinion on
sororities and fraternities.
Their existence and persistence
show they meet some need" he
replied.
Mrs. Paul Ewerhardt, chairman of
the section, presided and introduced
the speaker.
Previous to DR.. Bigelow's address,
announcement was made at the re-
quest of Mrs. R. Thomas West,
chairman of the Gallinger Hospital
project of the club, that the new
therapeutic ward for crippled chill
dren would be opened next week,
and that Christmas trees had been
donated. A collection for ornaments
for the trees was taken up at the
luncheon and over $6 was realized.

SPONSORS SAY BILL
TO END EMPLOYER
VIOLENCE OVERDUE

Washington, D. G. (ILNS). Sen
ators La Toilette of Wisconsin and
Thomas of Utah, who together have
formed the Cviil Liberties Committee,
have introduced jointly bill to elm
mate Oppressive labor practices"
meaning the spying, bribing, slugging
and maintaining private armies and
arsenals which the committee hear
ings have shown. Their joint state
ment on behalf of the bill begins:
'This bill is several decades over
due. On complaints made, and on the
finding of past governmental investi-
cations in the last 40 years, such a
bill should have been introduced long
ago. Similar recommendations have
been made, but nothing has been done
"Now, after two and one-half years
of intensive investigation, affording
some 18 million words of testimony
and exhibits, obtained during 90 days
of public hearings wherein 485 wit
nesses were heard, the subcommittee
calls attention to its exhaustive record
of studies in over two score industries,
employers associations and communi-
ties, the testimony it took on over 116
strikes occurring from 1880 to 1887,
and to the research, reports and rec
concentrations it has issued"
-Four Evil Practices Named
AS an illumining side issue, the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue, as result
of revelation by the committee, has
brought claims of extra tax liabilities
and penalties of $232,0OO This is SO
per cent more than the entire amount
appropriated for the investigation.
The title of the bill is the "Oppres-
sive Labor Practices Act of 1889"
The practices are four: /. using labor
spies; 2. use of strikebreakers or
strikebreaking agencies; 3. use of pri-
vate armed guards off the company
property, or the employment of men
convicted of crimes or violence any
where; 4. possession of machine guns,
sawed-off shotguns, or long-range gas
missiles.
at is significant to point out" says
the statement of the senator's, ''that
while this committee had to overcome
every sort of obstruction in unearth-
ing facts, it could elicit no reasoned
justification of the oppressive labor
practices exposed.
No Justification Made
"The officials of great motors con-
Germ, when forced to admit having
hired labor detective agencies, as
serted that they had just issued orders
to discontinue such service. Officials
of great steel company declared
they had not used the weapons in
their plant arsenals, and had actually
destroyed their machine guns. An Of
fetal of large radio manufacturing
concern admitted that no check had
been made of the bills of a strike
breaking agency furnishing 300 strike
guards, and billing their services at
over $150,000.
"In short, the committee encoun-
tered professions of reform, rather
than justification Of the practices ex-
posed The abandonment of
these oppressive practices by industry
will result in the saving of millions
of dollars of stockholders money.

dustrial peace"
