ee Au-Drill Meet of | Student Council Is Backed by Teachers: he Teachers’ Union of New York, | has voiced its approval of the anti-| militarist conference to be held Sat- | urday at 10 a. m. at the Mad Square Hotel, 37 Madison Ave., by t Student Council of New York. The impetus for the conference was given by the suspension of two stu-j| dents at City College for denouncing | military drill. It has been called by | the Student Council of New York, a) federation of college organizations of | the New York district, to oppose mi | tary training in the colleges and urge | greater freedom of student expres-| sion. “The Teachers’ Union of New York | learns with satisfaction of the inten-| tion of your council to assemble to| consider the issue of whether military | training shall continue on a compul- | sory basis in the colleges of New} York and vicinity,” a statement by | the Teachers’ Union yesterday said. / “The Teachers’ Union and the nation- | al organization of which it is a part, | the American Federation of Teach-| ers, has long been opposed to com-! pulsory military training in the schools and colleges of this country. | Why Opposed. “Our reasons for opposition are: first, on the ground that educational|ning at 8 o'clock at the Ukrainian |Joint auspices of the New requirements should be undeniably | constructive in terms of character and | understanding; second, on the ground | that compulsory military training is | psychologically destructive of the | habits of mind requisite for the ex-/ ercise of free citizenship; and, third, | because military training actually has | the sole objective of preparing not on- | ly the mind but the body also for | participation in war. “In our opinion it is not only the| right but the duty of college men,| Saturday at 8:30 p. m. at 1940 Ben-|“Fyndamentals of Communism” has bri hi | been organized in the Workers School, | DTS her mother to school, | ays ; 108 E. 14th St, to begin Friday |™0ther also was'threatened.
