EDUCATION URGED
TO ALTER SOCIETY
Replacement of Revolution
Favored by Speakers
Before N. E. A.
MJ the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS. February 23.—
Three speakers joined today in rec
ommending to the Nation's teachers
that education, not revolution, should
be employed to achieve social changes.
The speakers, Harry Elmer Barnes,
New York editorial writer; Frederick
H. Bair, Bronxville, N. Y„ superin
tendent of schools, and Hollis L. Cas
well of George Peabody College, Nash
ville. Tenn.. addressed the depart
ment of superintendence of the Na
tional Education Association.
War Marks Transition.
Barnes said the World War now is
one of the four major transitional pe
riods of history. The others he named
as the "so-called dawn of nistory,
the break-up of ancient society with
the decline of the Roman Empire and
the rise of the modern age after
Columbus.”
He called for a modification of
"our political institutions in keeping
with the changes of the last century"
and advances in the economic field to
• provide for a fair distribution of the
social income."
"The only .safe and sane solution of
our problems is to be found in edu
cation," he said, "but it will need to
be a type of education which will
courageously come to grips with the
realities of the second part of the
twentieth century."
Bair said government should not al
low itself to be held under the influ
ence of industrial organization.
Discipline Held Necessary.
"If democratic government is to
Justify itself.” he asserted, "it must
subordinate these immense corporate
forms by just, reasoned and constitu
tional processes, more truly to the
common welfare. It is the business of
the schools to see that the will of the
majority is disciplined by sound train
ing. illuminated by historical and cor
rect knowledge and enlarged and hu
manized by saturation in the demo
cratic principle.”
Caswell said there appeared to be
two possible methods of social change,
• the one orderly and gradual, dom
inated by information and directed in
telligence. and the other violent and
sudden, based upon exasperation, des
peration and hatred.
‘ If we are to have social change
achieved through orderly and informed
direction, its guidance must be a func
tion of education," he said.

FROM HOME OF VICTIM
CHICAGO <£>).—Paul Petri. 28. was
describing to each of about 50 persons
gathered in a local police station how
he had entered and robbed their
homes.
“But,” wailed Martin H. Milek, one
of the victims, "I could stand the loss
of the money and clothes, but why did
' you take m.v pedigreed wire-haired
terrier and what . did you do with
him?”
“I didn't take your dog, mister,”
the prisoner replied. "When I left he
followed me out so I took him home,
kept him a few days and then gave
him to a young fellow in the neigh
borhood.”

EXPLORER TELLS LOCAL PEOPLE
OF LIFE IN ARCTIC REGIONS!
“Life in the
Arctic calls
for stamina
and superhu
man vipor,”
declares Burt
I McConnell,
noted explor
er. “Tea helps
me over the
icy barriers every time. Tea lifts
my vitality and energy, raises my
spirits. It’s the world’s most vital
izing drink. I relish its refresh
ment, its delicious flavor. When I
hit base camps limp with nervous
and physical exhaustion, tea makes
me less tired, lets me sleep.”
When you drink a cup of tea,
your vitality goes up. You feel
rested, cheerful —ready for work
or a GOOD TIME. That’s why
EXPLORERS and big game
HUNTERS drink tea. DOCTORS
recommend it because it fights off
“winter let-down” and brings un
troubled sleep.
To get real vitality from tea, the
great tea growers of the world say
thisSelect a good brand of
Orange Pekoe that comes from
India, Caylon, and Java-Sumatra.
Use 1 teaspoonful of tea for each
cup — plus 1 for the pot. Pour
freshly boiling water over tea
leaves, and brew for 5 minutes.
This is important! Add milk (or
cream) and sugar to taste. Tea
made this way builds VITALITY!
—you'll like it!”
