Schools Remove
Five Textbooks
Under Attack
Histories Consigned
| To Decd Storage,
Corning Tells Miller

Five controversial textbooks used
for supplementary reading in ele-
mentary schools are being collected
for consignment to dead storage"
it was revealed last night.
The disclosure was made by Chair
man Miller of the education SUBJ
committee of the House District
Committee. He made public an ex-
change of letters in which School
Supt. Hobart M. Corning said the
books, five Rugg- -Kreuger histories,
we're being taken up for disposal.
The subcommittee chairman said he
was pleased by the decision.
DIR. Miller identified the five books
as THE Building of America" Man
at Work-His Industries" Man and
His Changing Society-Mankind
Throughout the Ages, Man at Work
His Arts and Crafts" and Peoples
and Countries"
Sequel to Inquiries.
This is sequel to inquiries made
by the Miller subcommittee into
allegedly subversive matter con-
tanned in some texts and collateral
reading books in connection with
hearings on bills to require expanded
courses on the Constitution and
American history.
The Board OF Education recently
nI fN Af
Rugg-Kreuger books. At the time,
DR.. Corning explained to the House
subcommittee that committee
studies were under way as to what
to do with the books then on the
reading shelves. DR.. Miller wanted
them removed.
In a letter dated last Wednesday.
DR.. Corning wrote that school Of
ficers had decided to remove the
five disputed books by March II.
DR.. Miller advised school officials
and teachers to read over the hear
ings and report on the 1887 District
appropriation bill wherein a school
official recommended that Rugg
book then in use be removed from
the approved list. This, DR.. Miller
wrote DR.. Corning, might keep
you and your textbook committee
out of trouble"
Says Book Was Put Back.
It was his understanding, DR..
Miller recalled, that the book under
discussion in 1887 was changed
slightly as to title land then put
back in the schools"
IT have been quite surprised" he
also wrote DR.. Corning, "at the at
titude of school authorities and
some of the newspapers in feeling
that the committee was meddling
with the schools and that the mat
ter under investigation was some
thing that should not receive the
attention of Congress.
"Our committee has tried to be
constructive. We made inquiries be-
cause there were complaints coming
from reliable sources that all was
not well in our public schools.
Il assure you that the COMMITTEES
and myself will keep continuing
interest and expect at some future
date to make further inquiry of
you and the school board relative
to the subjects and teaching meth
DDS in the District schools. We
solicit the full cooperation of you,
your staff and the school board in
arriving at sound, constructive
approach to the educational prob
! lemS."

A
Woman's
World
By Nellie G.. Jones

Realizing that women has mas
tered almost every walk of life,
the school, religious field, social
field, lawyers, doctors, etc., and
we know that these are the wo-
men that have mastered college.
But the great truth which the
college girl must master is the
identity of her own interests with
those of all women. She has con-
sidered herself too often as a
member of a favored group whose
problems were of a special order,
quite unrelated to those which
preplexed the great world of wo-
men land still ess akin to those
of that more restricted toiling
mass of women workers. Seldom
has she perceived the tenacious
thread of economic conditions
which binds together all women,
whether factory or university edu-
Gated, poverty burdened or money
laden, p%roletariat or patrician.
There is no handicap under
which women labor in any field
of activity that does not tense some
binding cord about the college
girls freedom. There is no in
equality in wages or opportunity,
nc matter how far down in the
economic scale, that does not re-
fleet a corresponding disparity
upon higher intellectual levels.
Just as long as laboring women
+ employed for hours that are
unduly long will there be unjust
demands upon educated women.
Just as long as there are under
paid factory girls, there will be
~underpaid doctors of philosophy.
For selfish reasons, if for nooth-
err, the college girl must recog-
nize her place in this world of
women. But chiefly because she
is high minded, unselfish and look
ing with a glorious vision to-
ward a day Of realized democracy,
must she understand fully her re

States Rights
Resolution Defeated
Bv Democrats

Mr.. Moody, Texas delegate to
the Democratic Convention at
Philadelphia presented to the con-
vention a, minority resolution that
the States Rights issue be in
cluded in the Democratic plat
form.
The pros and cons argued at
length on the resolution-natural-
ly the Southern states argued for
the issue while most of he West
ern and Eastern states expressed
resentment.
Dixieites proceeded to dig up
what they upheld as sovereign
powers of the states bequeathed
by the founding fathers, Jefferson
and Jackson. But their cause was
defeated by the majority of the
states as the delegates voted the
resolution down.
It is interesting to note that
Kentucky and Oklahoma deviated
from their usual procedure of
voting and voted against the
states rights amendment.
