THESE DAYS
GEORGE [. SOKOLSKY
WHAT ARE WE TO TEACH?
E Y

Arthur Garfield Hays, the lawyer, makes a point which needs inter- pretation. He asks:
 What is the truth? What is heresy? Who is to judge? Are men to be judged not by what they teach but by their political views and associations? What is a Com munist? Or a Liberal? Or a New Dealer?
 The implications and conse- quences which follow from judging men not by their acts but by their views are far more dangerous to democracy and freedom than the Communists themselves
 Hays difficulty is, of course, that he is uncertain about what he calls "the truth" Having no fixed standards, living intellectually in a grey, uncertain world, as do many these days, he can favor that which he opposes. For Arthur Garfield Hays is no Communist or even a Marxist; He is what may be called a liberal which means that his own mind has never been made up with finality. It is a happy state for those who practice a passionless objectivity and who really avoid responsibility. In my judgment, the Communists or even the Ku Klux Klan are preferable for one can know where they stand and act accordingly.
 Hays objects to our eliminating Communists as teachers of our chil- dren in the public schools on the grounds that freedom is more i'm portant than the souls of the young He does not say it that

ADMIRAL HALSEY IN REVERSE

In making his decisions, Johnson shows a tremendous Knowledge of the three services. Part Of this was gained when he was assistant Secretary of the Army in the Roose- welt Administration, but part ob- viously was gained from a great deal of personal study.
 Johnsons decision in favor of economy are now what have got him in so much trouble with the Navy, which had found a more sympathetic listener in James For restal, its former boss. However, Forrestal, harassed, tired, and anx- ious to please, frequently postponed making decisions in his latter years
 This may have been what prompted Adm Bull" Halsey to testify at the secret hearings of the Richardson Board on Unifica- tion:
 T am probably one of the lone naval officers in favor of a single department (of national defense). In other words. I believe in unity I want a department headed up by someone who could tell them (the brass hats to do this, dc that"

SENATOR'S OLSEN AND
 JOHNSON"

A Negro messenger iook the wind out of three Senators who were ex- pounding the other day over an NEG television broadcast.
 The Negro dropped in just as Senators Ed Johnson of Colorado Bill Knowland of California, and Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa were exchanging some profound ideas.
 Cooking an intent ear the Negro picked up Senator Johnson's name then solemnIy commented:
 "Ive heard this Olsen and John son show before"

way. He rather argues:
 This drive is not only against teachers who are party members l The Feinberg law in New York State makes loyalty the test. A I teachers loyalty is judged not by
 the courts but by boards before which the Attorney Generals i blacklist promulgated without
 hearings is good evidence. I have always thought that fascism was | a system which was run by the executive without regard to the
 legislative and judicial. Here we have the executive stamping citizens /, as suspects. Discrimination by the government among American citi-
 zens, who have violated no law, is not my idea of democracy! Of course, this isn't fascism, but it IS i fascist procedure"
 All of which is beside the point.
 Parents have moral right to de- 1 eide on the character and com petence of those who teach their children The taxpayer has a legal right to protect the expenditure of public funds against abuse. The voter has responsibility to select
 members of the legislature who will vote for measures which he, the citizen, assumes will best serve his , interests, protect his rights, and provide for the general welfare. No one can deprive the parent of the right to protect his child even against the power of the state. That is inherent in parenthood. When a parent insists that child is being corrupted by teacher. the parent should protest to the school authorities and exert every available means to defend his child. As Communism is, from the Amer ican standpoint, an immoral doc
 urine, the teaching of Communism in our public schools is an impair
 ment of the morals of minors and should be so regarded.
 The question might be asked, how can a Communist teacher advocate
 Marxism or support Russian policy 1 if he does not teach that subject? The error in the question is that | N-arxism is only a political or economic movement. Actually, 1t is a philosophy of life based upon mans relationship to the cosmos, assuming that man it material creature, totally conditioned by his , environment. Such philosoph1c system, translated into the simplest terms, can be taught from the kin dergarten up to courses for Ph. 1 D. and is so taught throughout ! out country.
 The Russian phase of this prob lem, while philcsophically second l ary, is of vital importance to the ! continued existence of the United I States For what the Marxists do is to debunk the United States, to 1 minimize its achievements and im-
 portance, to ridicule by word, ges- 1. ture and innuendo it's institutions.
 The child assumes that the teacher ! knows-and in that assumption is l our danger. Those who are impell- | ed to influence our children to
 hate our country have no place in
 our educational system-certainly
 not out of public funds.

Repentance: Seed and Fruit
NEVERTHELESS the Voice
~ spoke truth. John must have
been a powerful preacher, for his
meetings were held miles from the
nearest town, so that to reach him
from Jerusalem one would have to
travel through wild country In
tested with bandits. Few modern
preachers, without benefit of adj
vertising, music or choir, without
even a tent, would dare to start a
revival meeting Is rough miles out
of town. But John did-and the
people came in crowds. We do not
have the full report of his preach
ing that we have Of the preachine
of Jesus. but we do know that he
broke the hard crust of his listen
ers' conscience.
He made them see how unfit
they were for the Kingdom of
God for which they prayed; he
broke down their pride till they
went down to the Jordan and
were baptized under the open
sky, i'm public confession of
their sins.
When men asked him, What shall
we do? John did not have the full
err, higher message that Jesus later
had. But he did make plain two
things about the good life, the life
that pleases God: it cannot even
begin without repentance and con.
fession of sin, but it does not end
there. Repentance is not a simple
granite milestone on LIES way; it
is a seed which If it is real will
bear fruit.

OR at least one so great that he
could think Of none greater-was
one Of his own contemporaries, q
cousin OF his who was in jail at the
time when Jesus said of him,
Among those born Of ONE none
Is greater than John" Known to us
as John the Baptist, that Is, John
the Baptizer, we seldom realize
either his greatness or the close
connection between his life and
that of Jesus.
John of the Jordan
WYE DO not know how much
w Jesus himself owed to John.
We do know that John was the man
who first called the public's atten-
ton to Jesus. John il was who gave
some of Jesus most important dis
ciples their first training; John who
introduced to Jesus, and turned
over to him, some of his own fol-
lowers. 1t may be significant too
that Jesus first preaching was iden-
teal with that of John Compare
Matthew SO and 4:l7).
Some Christian scholars have
gone SO far as to suppose that
II was Johns preaching that
stirred the young carpenter
from Nazareth to leave his shop
and begin his great work as
teacher.
Whether this is so or not. we do
know that it was the baptizing by
John which led 10 the baptism OF
Jesus, and that Jesus baptism was
the turning-point between Jesus
private life and his short and
stormy public career. 1t is quite
clear that if there had been no
John the Baptizer, the story of
Jesus would have been very differ
ent from what it actually was.
Only a Voice
Johns own picture of himself is
- not a picture at all. Wnen they
asked him to say what he was, and
half-expected him to declare that
he was the Messiah, the long
looked for King. John said only, Il
am the voice of one crying in the
wilderness"
John. SO far as we know.

Fall Styles Show French Touches

smooth, nodded lines. Other Sep
TENDER fashions show a marked

use of buttons, OUTSIDE pockets,
and floating panels, according to

for September, she also describes
styles for the good black dress:
"The wedding gown is simple
and exquisite, with the accent on
smooth nodded lines, youthful fig
ure, beautiful fabric. 1t has a
petal neckline, basque bodice de-
liciously curved, and a faring skirt
with thrillingly long train. The
bridesmaids dress is equally sim
pie, for it is the dresses with sim
pie lines that look most charming
in a procession. 1t has a wide neck
line, smooth basque, and a flaring
skirt. Stiff fabrics are indicated,
faille preferred.
"For the good black dress this
fall there is one with an important
neck. The collar, narrow and
