CLOTHIERS· LAWYERTHREATENS MEAD ONGROUND OF UBELProfessor of Philosophy Involved in Charge of l\IartinJ. Isaacs.l\IEAD'S STAND IS SECURE (1)Associates Say Responsibility RestsUpon Tucker, Who Publicly Assumes the Amenability.Prof. George Herbert Mead, of thedepartment of Philosophy, is threatened with a court summons and alaw suit, as the result of the publication of a pamphlet espousing thegarment workers' cause, issued during the recent strike. The plaintiffin the imminent legal action is Martin J. Isaacs, attorney for the clothing manufacturers, and the chief boneof contention is a pargraph, to whichMr. Mead's signature is affixed, accusing Mr. Isaacs of maintaining ablacklist of clothing employees. Theclause, contained in the booklet entitled, "Is It Nothing to You?" isquoted verbatim;4'It has been shown, and not contradicted, that a blacklist is maintained by Martin J. Isaacs, attorneyfor the contractors-contrary to thelaw-so that when any employe incurs the dislike of a· foreman in one.shop, ·jt-is''ikDpomble 'to°'secure ""em':ployment in any other."Demands Retraction.Mr. Isaacs stated yesterday thatthere was a possibility that Prof.Mead was not cognizant of the factthat his (Mr. Mead's) name wasassociated with the garment workers'propaganda, Under these cireustances, according to the plaintiff, animmediate retraction, already . requested, should be forthcoming. Ifno explanation is oft'ered, suit againstMr. Mead will probably be institutedupon his return from Miami, Fla.,where he is staying until the commencement of the Spring quarter.The articles appearing in Ute pamphlet were signed by the. sub-committee of the Citizens' committee onArbitration,. and included .the namesof Prof. Mead, Mr. Harold L. Ickes,prominent Evanston-attorney, and Irwin St. John Tucker, editor of TheChristian Socialist. Mr. Ickes, according to Mr. Isaacs, has disclaimedany knowledge �r responsibility forthe publication of his name in connection wi� h the pamphlet; Mr. Tuckerhss asserted hmself as being winingto assume the total accountability forall statements included in the booklet;:". leter to Mr. Mead, according toMr. Isaacs, has brought forth no replyconcerning the professor's complicityin the issuance of the propaganda.Brands Statement as False."It is surprising," said Mr. Isaacsyesterday; "that a college professorwho delves into his subjects so deeplyshould �n�ak or write on the garmentworkers; strike with so superficial akncwlc.lcc.

Blackstone 2591.TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1916.A PARLOR EDUCATION."l',. In the February issue of TheMasses (a publication undeniably extreme in its opinion and art, butwhich espouses a cause that demandsan extremist organ as its medium ofexpression), appears a sketch of twoschool girls carrying books undertheir arms. Beneath the picture isnoted the following conviction:"Let's go out to Central pak andlook at the animals.""I can't, I've got to study myzoology."The creator of this satire on modern education has struck a vital note,not universally applicable, but stillprevalent enough to be dangerous tothe system, Is there not an emphatic tendency among students tobe satisfied with the theory, and toregard the practi�f: as foreign ;totheir understanding of a subject; is---there not even an attitude of aloofness from coming in contact with thepractice-a sense that the acquiringof first-hand information involves avague degredation?True, our curriculum includesclasses, which, in their course I ofstudy, gain their knowledge through" experience, initiative and research.There are those classes which, to 00-'come acquainted with the grain market, inspect the board of trade, whichin the study of industrial organization, visit factories, and which, inthe investigation of labor conditions,interview the employers and unionleaders. But are these not the exceptions which prove the rule?Are there not many students whose"acquaintance with Richard Wagneris limited to the Orchestral association's program notes; are there notthose devotees, of Raphael andMichelangelo who gain their only inspiration from the Classics library;are there not students of sociology,whose practical endeavors consist indining at pseudo-Bohemian cafes, whopurchase 1m extra ticket to theTrade school benefit, and who do theiruplifting from the ball-room floor.There is an obvious danger in overemphasizing the material phase ofeducation; for it is one of the professed duties of the uni"'.!rsity tocorrect the materialistic tendencies ofthe age. But the illustration in TheMasses is just a reminder of the perilof losing ourselves in a maze oftheory, neglecting completely theimportance of practice in masteringa subject.�.MISS DUDLEY TO S�EAKBEFORE SENIOR WOMENMiss Gertrude Dudley will addressthe ·women of the Senior .class at aluncheon today at 12:45 in the tearoom of Lexington commons.�!

This department is divided nominally into outdoor relief and indoor relief. Outdoorrelief consists of food, fuel, shoes forschool children, and other necessit.iesfor those who have homes and familes. Indoor relief provides maintenance at the infirmary at Oak Forestfor those who have no homes orfamilies.The medical service is administeredthrough the county physician, whohas charge of the Psychopathic hospital at Polk and Wood streets; theassistant county physicians, workingfrom the county agent's office, whovisit the sick at their homes; thecounty hospital at Harrison and Woodstreets, and the tuberculosis hospitala t Oak Forest.Recent Acts Effective.Recent acts of the legislature haveadded two additional forms of charity:parents' pensions, inaugurated threeyears ago, and pensions for the blind,becoming effective this year.Applicants for relief or medicalservice at their homes, for admissionto the infirmary, county or tuberculosis hospitals, and for parents' pensions are investigated by the countyagent. Except calls for the county"physicians each applicant passesthrough the county agent's hands before relief is granted. He inquiresinto the financial condition of theapplicant's relatives and where theyare able to do so requires them toprovide for his support and, if necessary, brings suit in court for thatpurpose.
