some of the statements made by the
clergyman:

"There are many elements in the
great complex social and industrial
problem which we have come to call
the labor problem. But. underneath
all these are two basic causeso‘name-
ly. ignorance and selfishness. Ignor-
ance on the side of both the employer
and the cmpln3ed. The man we call
the laborer is often ignorant (not al-

too often ignorant of the same funda-

who labor at manual labor; of the
conditions from which the man came.

isotten unconcerned about giving
value received for his wages; he

thinks not at all of what he may be
able «to accomplish: he. like his em-
player who. perhaps, taught him.
thinks solely of what he can get out
of the job in the form of material sat—

itator, who. in his ignorance and sel-
fishness, will not work. and stirs up
those who would. to believe that the
earth is theirs and the fullness there-

bump the employer and monied class
off the earth, and take possession of
it for themselves.

“Recognizing ignorance as one of
the fundamental causes of this com-
plex problem, it is not difficult to see
the relation that the public school
bears to it. For the school is that in-
stituuah whose function is to develop,
inform and instruct the mind of
