TIIE REALITIES OF POLITICS
The board of education in a large middle-western in
dustrial city not long ago appointed a committee to make
a survey of the citizenship training being given in the city’s
public schools.
The committee went out, looked around, and came back
presently to report that the citizenship training was going
over big except for the fact that the children were learning
too much about their city outside of school hours.
In class the youngsters heard much fine talk about civic
duty, honesty, political theories, and such like. Then they
would go home and listen to their parents talk, or they
would read the daily papers, and in that way they got the
lowdovvn on the way the city really was being run
The result, unfortunately, was to persuade them that
the citizenship training being given in school was all very
prettv. but that it did not mean much in everyday life.
The child who lives in a community where the “fix" is
a common, taken-for-granted feature of that community’s
life, is apt to get a different slant on representative govern
ment than the textbooks will give.
A child in Nome—or any other city—who hears his
father tell a crony how he got out of some mix-up, insignifi
cant. or serious, isn’t apt to imbibe that fine respect lor the
integrity of the law enforcement agencies which the school
teacher tries to inculcate.
The child who hears of graft and corruption in his city
and in other communities learns something of politics which
no school book will tell him.
Home conversation in which corruption in public office,
undue influence exerted by “big business, and the low cali
ber of office holders generally arc taken for granted, makes
an effective antidote to fine talk by the teacher, about
the ideals ot a democracy.
Now all this boils down to a small but unpalatable little
pill, which we might just as well swallow without making
any laces.
We can put all the citizenship courses we please in our
schools—and there is a tendency to do just that thing—but
as long as our own actions speak louder than the teacher’s
voice the courses won’t mean much.
Children can be kidded on many things, but not that.
If we bring them up in cities run by grafters and private
interests trafficking in questionable trades they are going to
catch on.
If we want our children to respect the society we are

Kodiak Indians
Were Fighters
Life was grim on Kodiak Island,
when prehistoric ancestors of the
Indians lived there. Some of their
less cheerful customs, as reconstruc
ted from ancient remains, by Dr.
Ales Hrdlicka, of the Smithsonian
Institution were:
Killing an infant if its mother
died and burying the two together;
or simply burying the baby alive
with the dead mother.
Killing a wife when her husband
died and burying them together.
Sacrificing slaves or captured en
emies by burning them to death.
Hazards of war and hunting were
also -evert-. Dr. Hrdlicka found:
Bones of a hunter apparently
killed by a bear with most of the
vertebrae broken, ribs crushed ’and
one arm missing.
Remains of a massacre, including
the skeleton of a woman with a
bone dagger through the heart; a
warrior's skull with a stone club
hrad imbedded in it; another skull
with a stone arrow point at the base
of the brain.
Debris of a conflagration that de
stroyed an entire village, containing
bones of several who were trapped
and killed by the fire.
