Heroes and Battles
BY Harry Gersh

School is about to start and IN young
Johns class they'll be learning about heroes
and battles. about growth and development
THEY'LL thrill to the stories of Valley Forge
and Lake Champlain and Shiloh and Chateau
Thierry They'll be stirred by the stories Oh
the steamboat and pushing the rails to Call-
fornia, about the cotton gin and the telegraph
All this is good. l want young John 10

the continuity of his nation and people but
I'm afraid he won't get the whole story. lie IL
learn about Washington and Grant and Essen
hover But how about the scared sergeant
who was the very first guy up on ofnala
Reach9 He'll know about Mccormick and the
empire builders But how about the guys VINO
actually laid the rails to Promontory Point?
OF course, it's impossible to put every
ones name into the history books Anyway
that sergeants name probably isn't recorded
in the Pentagon) And I don't demand that
the snecific names be included in the history
class I merely ask that the books reflect the
fact that history is not a roll call of big bat
Ties and big fortunes, 1t must include the
story of most of us in all times whose
names are not important.
For instance they'll tell the Kids about
the invention of the Bessemer furnace and the
DEVELOPMENT of the continuous assembly lne
both vital to our industrial DEVELOPMENT. bH
who will tell them about the invention OF the
4O-hour week, about the men who starved am

hours for the American worker? They'll learn
about the Stamp Act and the tea tax and tax
alton without representation But what his
tory teacher will tell the story of the develop
ment of the union contract, of the winning Of
industrial freedom?
Or will someone argue that the five day,
40-hour week and decent wages are less inn
portant to America than Clusters last stand?
I'm not against the blood and thunder
of history. Children learn from hero and
legend. But the children of Detroit and San
Francisco of the mill villages of California
and the mining town of Colorado have heroes
and battles they ought to know about ami glo-
ry in. Homestead, Pa, 1892, should mean
something to our kids, and the Pullman strike
in 1894, and Lawrence, Mass, 1912, and the
sitdoWns of the '30s. And when they talk a
bout law and the Supreme Court they ought
to include the Danbury Hatters' case and the
section Ia decision along with the bred Scot,
case.
Come to think of it, it wouldn't be a bad
idea for the public school history teacher to
mention the historical fact that the early
unions were the major usually the only e.
organized force to fight and win free public
education.
I was in college before I found out there
was a proud deeply meaningful history behind
me and the union to which my father belong
