...many problems forced upon the United States by the present European conflict, one of the most important is an educational problem--What shall the schools teach about the war? This question cannot be solved by the method adopted by certain New York schools; there teachers were forbidden to speak about the war. The Graduate School of Education recently held a meeting of schoolmen to discuss the problem more fully. The results of this conclave have meaning for teacher and student alike...

...faculty of the University wanted to hear all sides of this important topic. Mr. Browder is the most authoritative representative of a legitimate point of view on this issue. When Mr. Browder was indicted on a technical passport charge, Mr. Greene suggested that the meeting be abandoned, "lest questions of propriety be raised."

However, the John Reed Society has been informed that the indictment, and it is only an indictment, imposes no civil disability on Mr. Browder, and it feels that the question of "propriety" ought not to keep the students...
