WfhfpMipr P SCHOOL DAZE, SCHOOL DAZE' The public schools have opened again and millions of children give up playing outdoors and start fooling in the schoolroom. They had a lot of fun during the vacation, but weren't anywhere near as idle as they will be when they get back to their studies. Whether the children hare been getting the right sort of education is now a question agitating many nations. That many of the weak-nesses in social systems are due to emphasis on the wrong tilings In school is widely charged. France declares, through Marshal Petain, that its public school system was "a lie," and says that from now on schools will teach "respect of the human individual, the family, soci-ety and the nation." France has blamed about every-thing else for its defeat, and it may be stretching a point to blame the schools, but this department thinks a little shaking up of the American public school system wouldn't do us any harm. If Uncle Sam's schools are teach-ing American boys and girls respect for the family, society and the na-tion, a lot of the kids are not listen-ing. (There we go preaching again.) How about getting back to the days when school was opened with prayer and the nationalanthem, with teachersup-plyln- g the inspir-ation? The schools are instructing the kids in dales that don'tmatter, his-torical episodes that they will never remember and various sub-jects which will be of little use to 'em. The only exam they pass quickly is the one which asks. "What was Jimmy Cag-ney- 's last picture?" "Name four night clubs most often mentioned in the press," "What six movie stars were divorced in the last 10 days?" and "Has mommer developed a sys-tem to beat bingo yet?" The three Rs would seem to be Robinson, Rooney and Rome'ro. Of course, the schools may not be entirely to blame for the fact that little boys grow up into men who yawn as a veterans' parade passes, give a sloppy salute to Old Glory and say "So what!" when told that democracy is in danger. The old folks at home have some-thing to do with it. Pop never read the Declaration of Independence, and thinks Magna Charta is a new screen actress. And mom is too busy between bridge, the screen scandals, bingo and her efforts to get the right face cream that she isn't much help to the kids either.

The chastisement hasn't been ad-ministered by American league con-temporaries as much as by the press and radio of the nation. Neveithe-less- , their suffering: is Just as in-tense maybe more so, in that very little sympathy is offered them. Early in the season the Indians rebelled against their manager, Os-ca- r Vitt. Details of the rebellion were few and for the most part were not substantiated. When it first broke out local newspapers made light of the insurrection. They print-ed what little they knew of the af-fair, evidently regarding the player dissension as a temporary matter. The Rebel Leaders Finally a few facts began to drift out of the Cleveland dugout. A cer-tain number of the Indians, who had a mutinous attitude toward Vitt, were dominated by Catcher Rollie Hemsley. It has never been ex-actly clear as to what players were under the Hemsley banner. Hal Trosky was known to be one of the leaders and Bob Feller was one of the signers of the original antl-Vi- tt petition. Feller since has had a change of heart, as have Mel Hard-er, Jeff Heath and Ben Chapman. President Alva Bradley is receiv-ing a large share of the blame for vftfUir A IV v'5 MANAGER OSCAR VITT failing to take a firm stand either for or against the revolt when it first broke out last June. Scores of newspaper scribes have refused to pull their punches in de-nouncing the Indians for their re-bellion. Sports writers are more or less accustomed to friction between manager and player. Often the players have a just grievance. But usually they are willing to air that grievance in an above-boar- d man-ner. The Indians weren't willing to do that. Their secretive, underhand-ed attitude irritated both the paying public and the press. Press Flays Bradley The extent of that irritation was evidenced by one sports writer when he wrote: "They (the Indians) are branded from top to bottom, from front of-fice to rawest rookie, with intrigue, false statements and petty squab-bles. The ludicrous attempts by Alva Bradley to hush up an anarch-istic meeting of players in Detroit cost the Cleveland club caste with the paying publio and with the press, whose duty it Is to report facts and not to lie about Incidents affecting the Indians as a ball club . . ." The whole affair has made inter-esting reading, much to the disgust of Cleveland baseball fans. But its effect on the Indians' pennant quest is the important factor. It may be that dissension finally will whip them. However, that dissension has existed all season and Cleveland managed to hold first place from Au-gust 12 to September 9, when the erratic White Sox removed them from top billing. The Present Status Whether or not the team Is "com-pletely demoralized" as charged by various baseball writers, is highly debatable. The Indians are far from a high scoring team. The success is largely dependent upon tight pitching supported by tight fielding. fails they lack When their pitching the run-maki- power to offset pitch-ing weakness. Therefore they look bRegardless of the outcome of the Cleveland can be sure pennant race, of one definite result of the unsavory revolt. In the fall somebody wil have to go. It may be Manager Vitt it may be Hemsley and Trosky. There just isn't room on the same club for Vitt and the two insurrec-tionists.
