teachers give something to boys
that We men cannot. A well round

refinement and social ease on

the success Of both sexes depends
to great extent upon the

We have learned I'm early life what
to expect from the opposite sex,

Private schools where boys and

depressing effect upon the pupils
that will take years to overcome.
Some may object to co-edu-

SHOULD BOYS HAVE ONLY
MALE TEACHERS?
In answering this with an I'M
equivocal NO" LOUISE PAINE,
OF BONNEVILLE, CAL, ex-
presses the view not only OF most
of the girls, but a great many boys
as well.
Dear Elsie Robinson:
1.-THE idea that boys should
have only male teachers because
female teachers make them I'M
natural, effeminate and self con-
scious' Is absurd. Should we do
as the Spartans did and take our
boy babies from their mothers at
the age Of seven for training I'M
der men only so they will not be-
came 'effeminate and self con-
scious?'
Perhaps boys could get along
without women teachers, for men
are certainly rs capable as women
In the educational field, but when
should . boy-chlld's association
with women other than his mother
begin? Experience Is always the
best teacher. and the sooner a
lesson begins the easier II Is.
Men teach boys manners. but
women teach them courtesy and
gentlenesS. Men teach them re-
spect for ideals. but women teach
them 10 make and uphold ideals
Of their own. The boy Of today
Is the man Of tomorrow. and as IL
takes both men and women to
make q world, why not start the
association in their formative
years? Ask any grown man whom
he remembers from his school dayi
and Ill wager IL is some gentle

committee investigating defense contracts
Our forces must be prepared for the possibilities of
quite uncertain in what part of North South Central
America, even possibly OTHER REGIONS. it ulti-
matey may be necessary to use them in the defense of
this country and its possessions
Note that the secretary says possibly OTHER
REGIONS"
Other regions" than North, South or Central
America" means either Europe, Asia or Africa
What Secretary Stmson seems plainly to hint at is
EUROPE or AFRICA.
TO SEND an American army to England to
the continent of Europe would be a violation of the
solemn pledges made by President Roosevelt to the
American people in the last campaign that American
soldiers would be sent to fight on foreign fields.
But less than three months after the Inauguration of
the President his secretary of says that is possible
that our forces will be sent over seas.
This plainly is against the wishes of at least NINETY
PER CENT of the American people
The American people gladly acquiesced in the
administrations seectee act-an act by which millions
of young to be trained for year to be
soldiers.
They approved because they believed the word of
President Roosevelt that this was to be DEFENSE

That if to be used ONLY to defend the United
States and its territories against aggression
That it was army FOR America and not to be used
in foreign not of our fomentng
But this promise apparently is to go into the
waste basket that already contains mounds of the
administrations promises made to the American people in
1882, 1886 and 1910
ID true that circumstances alter cases. But nothing
1 has occurred between November, 1910, and April,

to Africa.
1t would merely add to the slaughter over there and
would in no way materially help England
Secretary Stimson put out "feeer."
That "feeler" may develop into a FACT
That fact will be the sending of hundreds of
thousands maybe millions of American soldiers graves
in Europe to the bottom of the sea.
England has repeatedly said that she DOES NOT
NEED MORE MANPOWER.

To send an army abroad, therefore, would be

Letters to the Editor

TO THE EDITOR:
MY HUSBAND is a worker at
1Vl the Ford Motor Company
and the association has been
most pleasant for the nearly
five years he has worked there.
We are grateful for chance to-
make a living in days like these.
Why don't these union men
who want more pay concentrate
on making themselves worth
more to their employer by in
creasing their education and
skill? Is it because that takes
effort?
1t is always the LATEST work
ers who join the union first and
demand seniority.
Seniority only encourages the
lazy TO sit back and become
more worthless. There should
be a system of recognition for
workers who have been there
five years. and another honor
after 10 years, and so on until
a man has worked for 25 years,
when there should be a pension
ing system in every realm of
labor.
would be for union if it were
based on our American prinCi-
pies.
Freedom 10 join or not 10 join
is the first of these.
The second is to keep your
labor troubles limited TO the
company and men who work
there, and formulate your own
complaints and settlements.
None of this bringing in the
men from the Dodge plant, and
places in Ohio. TO cause trouble.
A national union has tremen-
douS power, and a large income.
but the leaders are too remote
from the problems of each indi-
vidual labor unit to know the
real problems facing them.
Union dues should not be paid
excepting where a statement of
necessary expenses are posted
and accounted for. This would
place the responsibility on the
leaders shoulders for money re-
received.
