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...

When Mr. Browder was indicted on a technical passport charge, Mr. Greene suggested that the meeting be abandoned, "lest questions of propriety be raised." The Administration has every right to make such suggestions. 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...
