Rugg Textbooks Banned
In Cedar Rapids School
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
CEDAR RAPIDS. Iowa. June 10.
The Cedar Rapids Board of Edu-
cation has voted unanimously to
remove social science text books
written by Prof. Harold Rugg Of
Columbia University from the City
Junior High School curriculum.
The Cedar Rapids Gazette, which
has urged their elimination for five
years, charged the books contained
material presented to create preju-
dice against the American economic
system in the minds of immature
students and to pave the way for
establishment of a new collectivist
social order.

Joseph Petain, now Premier of pros
trate France, who came here in Oc-
tober, 1881, as chief representative
OF his country at the Yorktown
Sesquicentennial. In introducing
Marshal Petain to the vast audience
assembled at the memorial scene o1
Corvallis surrender, Gen. Perish
ing recalled how the fortuitous ar
rival of de Grasses ships enabled
Gen. Washington, with his combined
force of American colonials anG
French troops under Lafayette anc
Rochambeau, to bring the British
to capitulation. The commapder In
chief of the A. E. F.. said:
The general situation was mod
ified profoundly by the French
alliance, which inspired the
colonies with new hope. The sig
nificance to us of that associa-
ton received immediate demon
stration. From France came
soldiers, technical experts. arms,
equipment, munitions and money.
More important still was the
tide of encouragement that
flowed across the Atlantic to us
in hours Of doubt and despair.
But above all was the contribu-
ton of sea power. At last a
Yorktown was possible. The de-
clsive blows were to be struck by
the armies, yet until the French
Navy came, such blows had not
been possible.
Frances Unselfish Aid"
Replying to Gen. Pershings elo-
quent address, Marshal Petain, too
described the part the French fleet
played in compelling CORVALLIS to
yield. He termed the British defeat

termined Americas independence

Many thousands of young Ameri-

They may recall a passage in that
standard textbook captioned "Our
Great Debt to France" 1t is
poignantly pertinent at this hour
of our sister republics Gethsemane,
and reads as follows:
We were greatly beholden to
France. Her aid in men, ships
and money had been so timely
and generous that it Is almost
certain that without it the
American cause would have been
lost. The Continental Congress,
resorting to every possible de-
vice-requisitions on the States,
confiscation of Tory estates. do
mestic loans, even national lot

fraction of the money needed to
carry on the war. BY 1778 1t

money, which was rapidly COM
ing to be worth hardly more than
the fiber on which it was print

languishing finances of the ar
rival of 2500,0O0 francs in
French gold can easily be
imagined
I fancy President Roosevelt had
not forgotten all this when he re-
piled to Premier Reynaud's last
desperate appeal for American aid,

In 1858, when the United States
made to determine the best route for
a railroad to the Pacific coast. the
northern expedition was headed by
Isaac Stevens, and John Mix Stanley
was attached to the party as staff
artist at a salary of SIPS per month
This was an unusually large salary for
those times, and Stanleys employment
when the government employed an
artist to enhance the reports of gov
eminent exploration with pictorial
record. Others had gone into the west
to paint Indians, but Stanley was the
first or one of the first to go as an
employe of the United States govern
ment.
In addition to his painting materials,
Stanley carried a ponderous daguer-
the Stevens expedition, thus becoming
one of Montanas first photographers.

the tribesmen were awed by the magic

Although John Mix Stanley was at

covered that Stanley was his most
valuable assistant in more ways than
one. The artist had travelled and paint

about the west and the ways of the
Indians than did any other member
of the Stevens group. When Stevens
attempted to get members of the Pie
gan tribe to come to Fort Benton for
a council in the summer of 1853, the
chiefs refused to make the journey,
saying that If Stevens desired to see
them he would have to come to their
camps. The region occupied by the Pie
gans at that time was not a safe
place for any white man interested
in retaining his scalp. and Stevens re-
fused to leave Fort Benton. Stanley
offered to go to see the Indians in their
own camp and he succeeded well in
his mission. Within a few days he re-
turned to Fort Benton accompanied
by 80 leading Piegan warriors and
their families. Stanley conducted the
council and got along well with the
Indians. He made many sketches OF

Few Montana youths seek "ca-
reers" on NYA, il is announced by
William A. McMurphy, NYA d.
rector, in revealing the results Of
statewide canvass by NYA's
plants that NYA WORKERS we're
refusing jobs in private industry
and preferring to remain in
"NYA careers" prompted the gen.
eral inquiry. McMurphy said.
The consensus of the zone super
visors' reports indicates that young
men and women are in general willing
and anxious to accept private employ
ment and leave NYA rolls. Only where
wages offered are unjustifiably low
and working conditions generally un-
satisfactory have NYA youths refused
to accept private employment, accord
ing to the supervisors reports.
Temporary and irregular farm labor,
and housewOrk entailing low wages and
long hours each day are the types Of
jobs most frequently found to be in
question when NYA youths refuse pri-
vate employment, McMurphy said.
NYA regulations which denies NYA
employment to youths who refuse to
accept public or private employment
for which they are fitted. provided
that the employment offered is not
in conflict with established union re-
4dtIoilsillpS, tndL IL proVlueS reasonable
working conditions, and that the wage
offered is not less than the prevailing
wage for such work in the community.
In many communities, the bulk Of
boys employed on NYA are rural
youths who are working part-time on
their parents farm. according to the
supervisors reports When such work
demands their full time, or when per-
manent farm jobs are offered, these
youths are generally quick to leave
NYA rolls.
Information gathered from state en-
ployment offices would seem to indi-
cate that farmers who pay fair wages
and provide decent working conditions
are seldom without adequate help; and
this would apply also to employers Of
domestic workers. In some instances,
NYA girls who want to get into cleric
al or stenographic work and who are
getting training and practical expert
ence in that work through their NYA
jobs. have shown reluctance to accept
employment as domestic workers.
The. feeling was shared by NYA
supervisors and employment service
offices that If girls could be better
trained in domestic service they might
be better able to command adequate
wages and working conditions, and
would therefore be more willing to &C
cept domestic jobs Instruction work
carried on in a few NYA community
centers would seem to be a step in the
right direction. McMurphy said
A few instances of youth employment
during the past month have been out
standing. McMurphy said. In one town
where IL boys were working on NYA.
II secured employment on the steel
gang of a railroad. One-third Of the
boys employed in fish hatchery left
to take seasonal employment. In an
other town, the number of boys on
NYA dropped from 40 to 20 when the
other 20 got jobs in a local smelter.
