Mannftictum* Record,
A dispatch from Paris says (hat the.
spirit of Bolshevism in that city is at
tracting the attention of political lead
ers and government authorities, and that
lately it has been discovered- that the Bol
shevik virus has penetrated to the peas
antry, which is attributed to the influ
ence of school teachers. The dispatch
adds-: %
“An example .was famished When a
monument to the school teachers, killed
on the battlefield wav to be inaugurated
in the department of Morbibaii. The
school teachers' association of the de
partment decided that the inauguration
should not be allowed to take place un
less the inscription ‘To the School Teach
ers Who Fell oil tile Field of Battle.’ was
changed to 'ToVictims of the War.'.
They also demanded that there be no
mention of France or the ‘fatherland’ in
any speeches, and thut the/Marseillaise'
be neither played nor sung,
"In some departments teachers have
prepared their own textjO for dictation
to pupils in Which they'/ have carefully
tilt oirt everything that iu the regular
text books smacks of patriotism or his
tory. ~i
"The Cominunists took 800.000 votes
from the Socialists iu the. recent elec
tions, and the coalition of the latter with
the radicals is expected to drive a grout,
many more toward Bolshevism before
another election is held.”
What is seen iu France is the way
of socialistic and hloshevistic activities
by the work of the school teachers is only I
an intimation of what is going on in
this country. Many school teachers arc
out-and-out socialists, communists and
bolshevists. nud. directly or indirectly,
oUJOL tire fastening these teachings .upon
the minds and hearts of their youthful
pupils.
From time to. time freak newspapers
make their appearance, but usually they
do not last long. One of the queerest of
these was a paper devoted to legs, which
appeared in Paris some years ago. This
periodical was supposed to deal with the
medical, surgical, sporting, and other as
pectsffof. the human legs.
