ETHICS FOR TEACHERS
A new code of ethics for teachers
was drafted by the teacher-mem-
bers of the National Education As-
sociation at the conference con-
cluded at Atlanta last week. The
salient tenets of the code are: tha
the schoolroom is not the propel
theater for religious, political, 0]
personal propaganda, that th
teacher should not tutor pupils ir
his class for pay, and that the
teacher should insist upon a salar
scale suitable to his place in so-
ciety.
Such a code has been the neec
of the teaching profession for some
time, although the members of the
profession have in the past for th
most part instinctively obeyed cer-
tain unwritten laws which amount-
ed in effect to the three points set
out above. However, too much em-
phasis cannot be placed on the
necessity for the observance of
these principles, and the fact that
a national society of teachers has
written out and approved them
makes their recognition a matter
for the decision of everyone in the
profession.
There can be no question that
the schoolroom is no place for
propaganda of any sort. President
Hoover showed his wisdom recently
when he tabooed the carrying on
of anything of the sort under gov-
ernment authority. The student
populations of our schools are made
up of an hetereogenous assemblage
of individuals of all races, religious
and classes; to impose upon these
individuals any sort of political or
religious belief which their par-
ents do not indorse or approve
would be to eliminate the possibil-
ities of personal liberty from the
class-room, to permit the mental
dominatign of the individual, and
to insure perfect uniformity in
the prgducts of ur edguceional in=
stitutions
The ethi 9f ttrin is ade-
quately taken care of h the coe.
Of course, there can e Io.Q9-
jection to the tutoring of student
outside of classes, unless it be that
it takes away from the time which
should be spen in developing abil-
ity in regular teaching work,
Sufficient salary tor teachers is,
unquestionably, a matter that must
yet be decided. It is certain that
school boards have not, for the
most part, arrived at adequate sal-
aries as yet. Teachers are forced
to live a highly respectable exis-
tence on what are scarcely respec-
table wages. Perhaps propaganda

ing thepi i§ al that should be al-
lowed t pener.te the halls of

MODERN CHURCH SERMONS
(Daily Kansan)
Divorce, companionate marriage,
the American home, book reviews,
and baptism were discussed recent-
ly in Kansas City pulpits. These
certainly would not have been
church topics 50 or 100 years ago.
Does this indicate progression or
retrogression in our civilization? In
any event it represents a radical
change in our ideas concerning re-
ligion and toe church.
In the days pf 91r niotheF 9nd
fathers, church serns were re

ministers preaehed to their 094 Vie-

American hone, 4nd even hgOqsI
are the subject which ministers:
talk over with their gcngregations.
Instead of using tuxts from the;
Bible, they use qgttatigprs frgrn j
Shakespeare. This rovolution in

many to be an improvenment, has
