I am very much interested in. the Junior Column, because we are getting a touch of friendship with many juniors throughout the United States and second be­cause our editor gave us a very important lesson in the first issue, in wich he taught us how to think correctly. Don’t you think, juniors, that if the working people would think a little more, the world wouldn’t be so upset as it is now? Who is the blame for the condi­tions that make it possible for a few to own nearly all the wealth in the world, while the majority of the people the working class have almost nothing? It is the working people who do not think correctly, and refuse to organize in order to better their condi­tions. I agree with the editor when he says that children are hardly ever to blame for their actions. They are usually influenced by their parents. That is true. When I was ten years old, I chummed with my girl friend Anna, who always went to Sun­day school. Once her mother as­ked me why I did not go too. -1 said: ‘‘Why should I?” She told me that if I did not go to Sunday school with Anna, she would tell the principal of the public school, and he would throw me out. I was to young then to think about the matter seriously, and so I went with Anna to Bible school. The teacher there started to talk about old man Moses who crossed the sea on dry land, that is to say, the sea was supposed to have se­parated in half, and when he got on the other side, the sea came together and drowned all his enemies. After school was over, the chil­dren got together and asked each other whether such a thing could be true, and if so, why do’nt such things happen today. So you see fellow juniors, that sometimes children can think mo­re intelligently than those pa­rents, who send their children to Bible school. How can we believe such im­possible things that happened thousands of years ago? In those days only a few men knew how to read and write. They did not know as much as we do today, and therefore we should not think, that the stories they told were entirely true. To believe such stories would be as funny as to see a farmer plow his ground with a wooden plow, when he could use a tractor instead. We would laugh and say, ‘‘Hey far­mer John, wake up, your thou­sands of years behind the times, why dont you use the tractor?” Fellow junior girls let’s get a start in our column. Let’s show the boys that we can write as good as they. Keep up the column by wri­ting more. If not we will also be behind the times. Harvey, 111. Isabelle Bulik.--------o-------­A Book Review Dear Juniors! It is a long time already since I wrote to the Junior Column and so I thought I’d better get busy and write again. This time I’m going to write what I tink about of some books. I read a bock entitled: “My Country”. Every chapter in this book tells about how good and free this country is. In one chap­ter it says that every one should work and not to be idle. The author forgot to say that men ean not always get work, and when they do, they usually get very low wages in return. The author also says that by working hard you can have a comfortable home, luxuriously furnished. This is not true, for we know that nearly all the hard working mi-' ners, farmers, and factory wor­kers live in dingy shacks or tene­ment houses. They work hard all day and yet do not live in man­sions, with swell furniture, etc. The reason they dont is, as most of you all know, because they do not receive enough pay. The ca­pitalists who loaf most of the time live much better. In another chapter, the subject is “Rules Regulations and Laws”. It tells how good and important the laws of our land are. It men­tions the Child Labor Law, which states that all children must go to school. But yet we know that many children are forced to go to work and get scant pay and which finally ruins their health. If the parents of these children got enough pay, it would not be ne­cessary for the ir children to go to work. Most workers children like to earn money as soon possible. Ho­wever it is much better if they remain in school as long as possib- sible. and if they want to, they can work in the summer time, picking berries or something like that. The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are very good organiza­tions to join, according to this book. However we know that they are not, because they indi­rectly teach children to respect and obey the authority and law of the ruling class. The proper or­ganizations for us to join are those that will eventually abolish capitalism and wage slavery. Cleveland, Ohio. Helen Lockner.--------o-------­COMMENT We regret to say that last week’s column, due to error and editorial mismanagement, was a terrible mess. We offer our since­re apologies to the junior who wrote that letter, and to our rea­ders, who we hope will pardon us. We assure you that no one suf­fered more agonizing pains than the editor, who almost died when he read, or to be more accurate, tried to read the J. C., when it came out in print last week. Our sorrow and missfortune, however, has been compensated by two admirable letters, both coming from Cleveland, and writ­ten by girls. It seems that we re­ceive our best contributions from them. Boys please take note. If you boys don’t write, this will eventually become a girl’s column and then anything is liable to happen. * Isabelle’s leter, telling about her experience in a Sunday school, is very interesting and amusing. Most religious people send their children to church, simply as a matter of form or tradition. So­me think that their children will become more virtuous, thus in­suring their entrance to heaven. In very few cases however, does it improve either their character or intelligence. As a rule, they are made to believe a lot of un­true stories, such as the one Isa­belle wrote about. If a child does not believe them, he is repriman­ded, and told that he must not doubt anything written in the bible, for as they say, it is the word of God. The other letter from was writ­ten by Helen. She sent us two of them, but we could not print both, because we are only allowed two columns on this page. Her letter will probably appear in the J. C. next week. J.
