THREATENS SUIT
TO GET LETTERS
Boynton Seeks to Compel School
Superintendent to Produce
Data on Schools
ALAMEDA, April 18. — Mandamus pro
ceedings against City Superintendent of
Schools Will C. Wood will be taken to
morrow to compel him to produce let
ters and data, bearing upon the question
of the open air school for children,
which is before the board of education.
Attorney Charles C. Boynton. whose
wife has been agitating the new method
of school construction, will start the
contest, according to his statement to
night.
Boynton said that he had traced an
opposition to the project to Wood, who
had agreed to show certain documents
from eastern school superintendents,
which Wood, Boynton said, declared
were evidence that the open air school
was a failure. Wood was to have ex
hibited them, but after two visits from
Mrs. Boynton decided to. prepare a re
port to the board of education on the
subject before making public the re
sult o{ his correspondence.
Petitions for the proposed open air
school are in circulation. The subject
has been argued before the board of
education. Director J« B. Lanktree has
been appointed as a special committee
to investigate it. Mrs. Boynton is a de
votee of the open air theory and has in
augurated a-cru6ade which has gained
adherents. \u0084
Superintendent Wood said:
"I told Mrs. Boynton that I had re
ceived correspondence, but that it was
personal and private. She wanted to
see the letters, but I told her they were
personal and that she could not see
them. Mr. Boynton has no right to
them either and I will not give them up
to him or any one else. I received them
in my private jcapacity. Later on I shall
make a report to the board of education
and may embody some of the informa
tion I received from the east. But un
til that report is ready the data belongs
to me individually. I presume that Mrs.
Boynton told her husband of my refusal
and upon that he intends to act."

BERKELEY, April 18. — Speaking on
the subject of "The Present Task of
Christianity" Prof. Walter Rauschen
busch of Rochester theological semi
nary delivered the first of the series of
E. T. Earl lectures before the Pacific
theological seminary of this city and
the general public tonight in the First
Congregational church.
He spoke of the social feeling or "so
cial consciousness" which he said has
been spreading swiftly In this country
within recent years and he accounted
for its spread by "the rapid growth of
dangerous forces in our national life
which have alarmed and awakened the
people; by the general intelligence of
the American people and their inherit
ed democracy, which unite in making
them restive under the increasing pres
sure; by the finer moral sensitiveness
of modenTlife. and by the strength of
vital and purified religion in our coun
try."
Continuing, he declared:* '
The great social task of the
. churches at the present time is to
co-operate with this new social
consciousness in the nation, clari
fying it and inspiring It with re
ligious' daring and confidence In its
own demands. The ultimate task of
the Christian church Is to build up
a really Christian social order for
all mankind. Our immediate task
•~is to bring our social order into
harmony with, at least., the moral
convictions now growing In our
nation. The social conditions with
in which we have to work and our
love are coming to be in acute
contradiction with the ethical sense
of great masses' of the people.
Professor Rauschenbusch said that
the main task of the church was not
institutional but inspirational, in his
eyes, and continued:
If the conditions of any local
church demand that it take care of
the babies while their mothers go
to work, or that it furnish young
people a substitute for the dance
halls and saloons, then let that
church .do such work, but at the •
same time let It protest with all its
might and voice to the community
against being compelled to do such
work, which in any rightly ordered
community ought to be unneces
sary. If the church find a man in
Jericho canyon who has fallen*
among thieves let her set him on
the asK — which seems to typify the
ministry — and care for him. , But If
she finds bruised and robbed men
lying around thick every time he
travels that road let her get after
the public officers and the whole
community and see that the entire
holdup business stops.
To show how seriously some of the
fundamental moral relations are en
dangered in modern industrial condi
tions the speaker pointed out the
mighty task of the church and spoke of
the disintegration of the old fash
ioned family life -wherever industrial
city life advances. He said:
The increase of divorce is only
one s-ymptom. and the additional
fact that so many are reluctant to
enter married life is at least as
important as the fact that so many
want tor get out of it. But some of
the influences which are unsettling
family life will ultimately prove
wholesome. The rise of woman to
educational and intellectual equal
ity with man and her growing self
affirmation have necessarily shaken
an institution that took shape un
der patriarchal conditions. The
family has. however, afready
gained by being democratized.
But the economic features that
undermine the family have few re
deeming features. Everything that
causes rents and prices to advance *
faster than incomes acts as an
automatic check on family life, pre
venting it in some cases, postpon- »
. ing it In others, compressing It.
. stripping it of it 3 peculiar sweet
ness,and in some cases breaking it
up. The indirect taxes, of which
our American statesmanship is so
fond, lay the chief burden on the
home, and every time a corporation
dodges part of its taxes it Increases
the load on the home life of the
average man. Those classes of so
ciety which spend unearned In
comes set the pace of expenditure
for all and make home life expen
sive and showy. r .
Professor Rauschenbusch spoke of
the , home life among the Industrial
classes' in cases where the wife con
tinues to earn wages after marriage
and of the conditions among the masses
of the chronically unmarried in the
cities. He said that when he reflected
on these conditions most other. issues
seemed as dust in the balance beside
the moral Issues Involved here. Any
Christian who Is not so very radical In
the face of such conditions is ,not so
very Christian, he said.
The second lecture will be delivered
tomorrow night.
