INTELLIGENCE
IS BEST KIND
OFDEKACY
SPOKANE, April 2.-—“Education
and Democracy” was the title of an
address mare here today by J. E. Jew
ell, dean of the University of Arkan
sas, before the Inland Empire Teach
ers’ association. He said in part:
“The only democracy thinkable is a
democracy of intelligence. Nothing
else is possible.
“It is not true that all men are born
free aftd equal, it is not true that you
may make a ,man free by flat. A
glance backward shows us that man
has enhanced his political, social and
economic status only as he has
worked out his own salvation by
means of an accumulating intellect.
“It was because the more intelli
gent negroes discovered this law to be
inherent that Booker T. Washington
founded his school at Tuskegee. No
man has been more outspoken in re
J inforcing this psychological law than
= Dr. Washington, who spent a long
life preaching to his people, on every
possible occasion, that only by acquir
ing a higher degree of intelligence
could they make themselves in any
way functioning members of Ameri
can democracy.
“Every great movement this earth
has seen has been lost if loaders have
failed to appear to retain their
leadership. It is no accident that the
epochs of the world’s history are
largely named after individuals. It is
hardly in a figurative sense that Wash
ington is called the father of his
country, and Lincoln its savior. Con
sider the events that have transpired
in Russia within the last few months.
. A revolution came almost over night,
but it was not fortuitous. It came
only because the leaders of a blind
people had paid the price through
generations and had given their lives
to make easier the course of freedom
for the masses.
“Democracy cannot be won by a
mere revolution that proves success
ful. The only democracy thinkable
is a democracy of intelligence. We
realize now very clearly that Russia
is loot for a generation unless it finds
men whose supreme intelligence shall
make them supremely powerful.
“If then it be true, as I confidently
believe, that the only possible democ
racy is that of intelligence, what can
we teachers do about it? Just this.
We can assert in season and out of
season, that we can not get and pro
mote intelligence to any marked de
gree except in our schools.
“So far as our country is concerned,,
at the present time, we need two
things, it seems to me, in the way of
bringing about'an intellectual democ
racy through the medium of our
, schools and our teachers. We need a
universal training of our children In
community civics, and we need uni
versal training in thinking. In the
first place, we need a universal teach
ing of community civics so that we
shall not longer require food directors
and coal dictators, and the like. It is
evident that our coal barons have not
yet learned that overcharging is trea
son. The people at large have a bet
ter right to live than coal operators
have to swollen fortunes. And the
ultimate consumer will have (» learn
that for a man to cheat a railroad is
just as treasonable as for a railroad
to defraud a man.
“We should learn that community
civics begins at home. Each member
of each household has certain rights
and each has corresponding duties. If
our children learn these in their
plastic age it will do much toward in
suring proper standards in adult life.

NO DISCIPLINE
IN SCHOOLS OF
SOVIETRUSSIA
EONDON, March 1 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—Pupils
instead of teachers control the schools
of Russia under the Bolshevik re
gime, according to two Englishmen,
one of them an experienced school
master, who have just returned from
Russia.
Boys and girls are herded indis
criminately, and there is no discip
line, say the Englishmen. Pupils con
trol the teachers. In a Kolma school
a youth of 18 was appointed commis
sioner of the institution and was in
charge of all teachers. On one occa
sion he closed the school for a week
as a protest against the action of the
master, who had reprimanded a pupil.
Should a master prove unpopular,
he is promptly ejected by his class.
Often the master appears for class
only to find his pupils engaged in a
committee meeting, which must not
be disturbed.
Each class has its committee, and
usually the most popular boy repre
sents the others at the masters’ coun
cil. These committees not only di
rect the masters but control the dis
tribution of food which is provided
for the midday deal, and which is the
chief cause for any school attendance
at all.
Pupils do exactly as they please,
walking into the class room and leav
ing it while a lesson is in progress.
This is particularly true as regards
lunch time, for the first to reach the
dining room is the first to be served,
and he usually gets the best. No
punishment of any kind is indicted
on the pupil, as each pupil is bis own
mentor as to right and wrong.
No home work is set, the pupil do
ing all his school work during the
hours set apart for each session. At
tendance is not compulsory, or even
regulated by rule, each one attending
classes or staying away as he sees
fit. No marks for good work are al
lowed, and consequently none for the
sluggard who makes no attempt at
scholastic attainment.
The same chaotic conditions were
observed by the Englishmen in the
universities and other seats of higher
education. Any boy of 16 mamy enter
without qualification. Even though
he may be unable to read—and all
Bolshevik children have not yet at
tained that dignity—he still may be
come an undergraduate, entitled to
all the food and other advantages en
joyed by more advanced persons in
search of such education as the de
moralized system has to offer.

ADMIRAL SIMS DECLINES
CREDIT FOR FAMOUS MOT
NEW YORK, March 20 (by mail).—
Vice Admiral William S, Sims, com
mander of the American naval forces
in the, war zone, refuses to be known
'n btstorv as the author of a laconic
reply to the British naval commander
who asked when the Vmerinan de
stroyers sent to Queenstown to help
conquer Germany would be ready to
fight. The famous words as attrib
uted to Vice Admiral Sims wore: "We
can start at once. We made our prep
arations on the way. ’
What actually happened, asserts the
vice admiral in a letter published
here, was that when the destroyers
commanded by Commander Joseph K.
Taussig arrived at Queenstown afler
their 3,000-mile trans-Atlantic voyage
they were in need of coaling. Admiral
Bayly asked when the American ships
would be ready for service, and Com
mander Taussig replied that he would
be ready “as soon as his vessels could
be recoaled.”
Vice Admiral Sims writes that he
was at that time in Paris. He added
that Commander Taussig “was one
of the ablest destroyer commanders
who served under me in tile Atlantic
flotilla, and the reply he made to Ad
miral Bayly was' exactly the reply I
would have expected him to make. I
make no claim to having made use
of any epigramatical expression on
this occasion.”
