(Established 1873) <i> ——$—— WAR HAS MADE THE SCHOOL THE SOCIAL CENTER OF THE WHOLE COMMUNITY Ever since the Middle Ages great educators have tried to get the school out of its monastic seclusion. Thoughtful writers like John Dewey and William Wirt have told us that the school should should have a part in every field of human life. WAR MOBILIZED THE SCHOOLS. It made them a part of the Treasury Department to sell Thrift Stamps. They joined the medical service through the Junior Red Cross. They linked every. war activity to the family. Domestic. science departments taught commun- ity canning, preached and practiced food con- servation: and made clothes for Belgian and French orphans. Vocational ¢lasses were first aid’ in, training for service in all the manifold} trades of a-mechanical war. , bs College staffs MOBILIZED MINDS AND MEN in a multitude of fields. Laboratories fought poi- son gas, liquid fire and submarines to such effect that the horrors of Hun science were checkmated everywhere. Scholastic psychology was drafted from its ex- clusive laboratories and its unintelligible voca- bulary and set the task of choosing non-commis- sioned officers and aviators. It did the work so well and developed such splendid machinery and methodgs_for selecting, men .that THE WORLD HAS GAINED A GLIMPSE'6RMH®LBY NEW. POSSIBILITIES in finding pegs to fit its many sid- industrial,political and. social holes. Moar taughtus, that. EDUCATION IS NOT AN AFFAIR- OF ¥OUTH-ALONE. In teaching mil- lions'of adults we learned new and wonderful short Ctits’ to knowledge ‘that will hasten the speed of progress for many peaceful generations.

Gu.O% | Like all these soldier pals it must néw! inobilize| for the work of improving the society it helped to{ save. The school will keep on with Thrift Stamps and health work. It will, as THE SOCIAL CEN- TER OF THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, continue to offer education to wider and wider classes. It will make use of the new methods of “intensive training” developed in Officers Training Corps and} wherever a nation’s need drove to speed in educa- tion for war. Its technical departments will con-| tinue to draw closer to home and farm and factory | until it is a vital indistinguishable part of each. It will apply in peaceful selections of vocations for its students the lessons learned in picking aviators and officers. Its laboratories will war on disease and incompetence and poverty as they war- red on Prussianism. SCHOOL, LIKE MEN, LEARN AS WELL AS FIGHT IN WAR. AS MAN TO MAN, DON’T CALL THEM ‘WOPS;’ HELP MAKE THEM STRAIGHT AMERICAN Americans are going to do many things dif- ferently from now on. We are going to come to a full realization of the fact that an American is an American regardless of race or religion. AND WE. ARE GOING TO TREAT HIM AS MAN SHOULD THREAT MAN! The deciding factor in persuading native-born Americans to this opinion came in the loyal man- ner with which our foreign born citizens and our negro citizens helped us win the war. They did help—on farms, in mines, factories, mills, ship- yards, as well as in navy and army uniforms. Some of us (thoughtlessly, possibly) were giv- en to.calling these men of foreign birth and of other ‘colors, by nicknames. Those who did this knew they were hurting the self-respect of the stranger. Such nicknames as “Wop,” “Dago,” “Nigger,” and numerous others were on the tip of many. an American tongue, and every such STE SA A camps already have given their word that they will do this. Hopes are entertained that when the time comes when all our boys and girls have discontinued this bad habit, grown-ups will place a closer guard on our tongue, and then no one will be a “nigger,” a “wop,” a “greaser,” or a “guiney.” Phey’ll all be men and women, standing on an equal footing in this respect at least, be they ditch- diggers, scrubwomen, bankers or wives of mil- lionaires. Honestly, we grown-ups would better blue-pencil some of our nickname stuff ourselves before our sons and daughters do it for us! “ARMISTICE?” SAID FOCH, THEN HE MADE HUNS BEG By Harold E. Bechtol. European Manager for the Newspaper Enterprise Association. London, -England.—Marshal Foch gave the German armistice delegates wine of the “vintage of 1870” to drink with their meals in France, according to the inside story of what went on at the conference which has just reached London. The story is given me by a high official, in de- tail, and he assures me that it is already a part of the record of the war. Here is the story: “When the.German delegates entered Foch stood stiffly and: inquired: “Well, gentlemen, why am I thus honored?” "We have come to see.about the armistice,” re- plied a German. ¢ Foch looked astonished. . His eyebrows raised. “Armistice?: Armistice?./'I know: nothing of fan armistice.” 7 oe $ ;, Which: flustered the then the spokesman sai cepted President Wilson’s- Fourteen Points and we understood that an armistice would follow.” “I have no armistice offer,” insisted Foch. “But we must have an armistice!” insisted the delegates. “Oh-h! You come to beg for a armistice?” Foch replied. “Well, er—” began the Germans and Foch re- peated firmly: \ “Do you come to beg for an armistice? “Well, yes. We beg: for an armistice.” ~ And then the business started. “Burleson not interested in mail plane manu- facture.” Nor very much in the mailman’s wel- fare. : 5 , oie | Big New York departmefit store becomes a hos- pital. Will it receive Christmas shopping-crush casualties? The sign “No German: goods sold here” will mean more if displayed after German-made goods are actually ‘available. A little earnest heckling of Ernst Haeckel would be amusing. Remember how he, four years ago, predicted collapse of Britain? From “the dial,” we learn that the Russian pea- sants are “zealots for the Bolshevik regime.” From other sources, we learn they are helots un- der it. Who's to be believed? | WITH THE EDITORS | LABOR THE BULWARK. An industrious man, a thoughtful and useful man, is the safest insurance against extreme radicalism of the sort that begets bolshevists— such a man typifies the American Federation of Labor, genuine approval of which is expressed in the conference of governors at Annapolis. The governors have laid the credit where it is due. An industrious man is not a_ pernicious schemer; but an idle:man, who does not propose to work and yet seeks a share of the profits of jlabor, personifies exotic spirit and discontent ut- terly foreign to America. In some careless use of terms we are wont to employ these two classifications of all mankind— the rich and the poor. It is not a discovery to say that this is unfair, particularly so in America, where most riches have been won by individuals in the span of a lifetime. To be successful is the aim of every one and there is every opportunity for success. Most American fortunes have been made by those that posses them and their success is not due to the fact that they earned money but that they saved it. Therefore the classification of mankind is not as to rich and poor, but of industrious men and idle men. There are men of wealth who are just as busy and industrious as the men who are not rich but are working to become so. The man of wealth works because industry is his habit—so with the man who is not wealthy. But there are idle rich and idle poor and neither is nickname carried its sting. to the very soul of the Now however, the United States Bureau of Edu- - cation launched a campaign among schoolchildren of the nation against this nickname evil. Our a compliment to society, for the idle poor man wants something without labor and the idle rich man has it.- These types have no place in econ- omic structure save as problems. There is no problem as between the industrious men. of the states and the executives of the American ig BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE i By EDWARD M. THIERRY N.

Scheidemann modestly refrains from speculation as to who will be first pres- ident of the German republic. > His statements raise a' question as to the sincerity of the carlier state- ments that the recent urrest of the ex- ecutive committee of the Soldiers’ and Workmen's council was u mistake.

Paasche had been entrusted with the task of compil- ing secret documents placing the war blame. Tearing a leaf ‘from his notebook, Paasche wrote me a pass to admit me to a meeting of the committee in the evening in the Prussian diet chamber. Accompanied by Harry, Greenwell of the London Express, I went. to the diet at 6 o'clock. An immense crowd of armed soldiers had gathered in front of the building and we sere swept within ‘in time to see the hasty exit of the members of the exevutive cogittittee of the Sol- dier’s ‘council. * Meeting no’ re swept on to the hall and forced if, the entire council, including Paasche.
