COLLINS ATTACKS | L. CADETCORPS Asks Type of Americaniza- tion Taught in Schools at Hearing on Budget. | Disapproval of the Washington High School Cadet Corps as an organization | which “teaches children the art of war- fare” was voiced by Representative Ross P. Collins of Mississippi, member of the subcormmittee of the House committee | on appropriations, during the hearings | conducted by that body on the District | 1931 budget. | Mr. Colline had just finished ques- tioning school officials on the type of Americanization taught in Washington schools, during which he expressed his ohjection to “turning the schools into propaganda agencies.” when he de- manded of Stephen E. Kramer, first as- sistant superintendent in charge of high schools and cadets: “I want to ask you something about thiz playing around with war that vou folks are engaged in. How many Regular Army officers have you in the schools®" Stmmons Indorses Cadets. He was told there are four commis- sioned officers and a first sergeant in the white schools and a warrant officer and a sergeant from the War Depart- ment in the colored schools. and when be pursued a line of questioning that indicated that he was opposed to the cadets in principle, Representative Robert G. Simmons of Nebraska, chair- man of the subcommittee and the chief inquisitor of the school authorities dur- ! ing the hearings, voluntarily voiced his indorsement of the cadeis. Mr. Kramer stated that membership in the cadet corps is voluntary, and that cadet officers are selected by their own merit based on cadet corps record and scholastic _attainment. ~ Mr. Collins thought, differently about the voluntary membership. “I don't know about that being the ease,” he said. “The making of scholar- #hip important to officer personnel is an encouragement of this activity by school authorities. In other words. vou are Jinking up scholarship with the higher ranks, and A boy knows by this your attitude.” Mr. Kramer replied that he did not are how scholarship had anything to do with the volunteer phase of cadet mem- bership. He sald a boy joins or not as he pleases, and that personally he. him- &elf, belleves in the cadet work “not as military work at all but as a part of the regular school work.” Collins Doubts Wisdom. Mr. Collins said that every child 2 years or more old wants a uniform and he doubted the wisdom of cultivat- ing this inclination. Mr. Kramer de- fended the corps with: “I would like to say that as far as our cadet service is concerned 1 regard it as the most valuable vehicle we have in teaching manhood and a sense of obligation.” " ave heard other sensible men say that.” returnedsthe Mississippian, and Mr. Kramer replied that “we would have to differ on that.” You will have to let me get into the same cl " Mr. Simmons inter- posed, “because I indorse it—that is, Mr. Kramer's statement.” Mr. Simmons later said that the cadet, corps teaches co-operation and nation of mind and body. “I cannot agree that the greatest thing in life 1= the teaching of chil- art of warfare,” Mr. Collins Teturn 1 believa right thinking and correct living is much more important and should be emphasized.” The discussion was ended when Mr. Kramer simply remarked “We cannot all agree.” Mr Collins’ queries regarding Amer- jcanization work here centered chiefly about the “brand” being taught. He asked specifically, “What are you teach- ing them?" and when Mr. Robert L. Haycock, assistant superintendent, undertook to list. sueh subjeets as the English Janguage, American customs a American home ideals, the Con- issman said he didn't want those de- tails. “I want to know exactly -what von teach Wwhen you teach Americaniza- tion,” Mr. Collins demanded. “You can answer that in 25 or 30 words.” “T would say the object of the Amer- fcanization school In the teaching of Americanization,” Mr. Haycock tried again, “iIs to throw around the chil- | dren, ‘ot the pergons who come under the influence of the Anl:rnl-&n work, such information. such contacts and such activities that those persons will beome acquainted with American ideals, American customs, with the American language, with the American Government, to the end that those per- sons who are thus affected may even- tually desire to become eitizens of this great country.” Mr. Collins asked what, of any, er- ganizations co-operate with the schools in this work, Advised that the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution have A committee which co-operates in the work, and that Justice }icCoy, in whose | court naturalization papers are issued, frequently visits the school, the com- mitteeman asked for a complete list of the organizations which aid in the work. The list which Mr. Haycock subse- quently submitted included the follow- ing: Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Naturalization Bureau, Bu- reau of Immigration, Daughters of the American Revolution, Americanization Committee of Washington, ‘D.
