Interesting Experiment
(From New Jersey Labor Herald, Newark


The pioneering by Essex Trades Council of Newark IN
a new field of labor education bringing the story OF
organized labor into the senior grades of high schools
has aroused considerable interest throughout the country
The experiment pronounced success according to
the verdict of teachers students and school authorities In
fact impression made by the AFL labor professors
was favorable that about to be initiated by the
irrepressbe can the CIO And believe or not the local
Chamber of Commerce undoubtedly fearing that youth
may have been indoctrnated with the of revolution
rushed into the fray demanding equal opportunity to
"teach" youth the virtues of rugged ndvldualsm.
The highest form of compliment is imitation!
However, the important phase of this educational ven
ture which AFL onsts held 35 classes and two general
student assemblies is the possibility that out OF this effort
on the part of labor to cooperate with school authorities in
giving the student body the "unvarnished truth about
unions will come decision to permit labor to aid in impe

curriculum
1t is imperative that the young men and women gong
out into the world of them seeking their place IN IN

labor movement The anagonstic attitude toward labor

Observation-Disclosures makes public the knowledge
produced by science through booklets posters newspaper
and magazine advertisements radio and films. Physicians
and scientists kept informed of latest developments in
the detection and treatment of by of lectures
films scientific papers and other services Part of your
money goes toward doing that job.
MEDICAL SERVICE-The society's Field Army of
volunteer workers renders personal aid to patients

They help establish and staff clinics and pubicize
