VOLUME XXVII/1
EU Law Beyond EU Borders
The Extraterritorial Reach of EU Law
The Collected Courses of the Academy of European Law
Edited by Professor Nehal Bhuta, Professor Claire Kilpatrick,
and Professor Joanne Scott
Assistant Editors: Anny Bremner and Joyce Davies
Each year the Academy of European Law in Florence, Italy, invites a group of
outstanding lecturers to teach at its summer courses on Human Rights Law
and the Law of the European Union. A ‘general course’ is given in each of the
two fields by a distinguished scholar or practitioner, who examines the field as
a whole through a particular thematic, conceptual, or philosophical lens, or
looks at a theme in the context of the overall body of law. In addition, a series
of ‘specialized courses’ brings together a group of highly qualified scholars to
explore and analyse a specific theme in relation to human rights law and EU
law. The Academy’s mission, to produce scholarly analyses which are at the
cutting edge of the two fields, is achieved through publication of this series,
the Collected Courses of the Academy of European Law.

have so little belief in the criminal courts and prisons that they are
trying embezzlers and shoplifters in tribunals of their own, and
administering a private system of probation and restitution. The initial
step is a reformulation of the purpose of punishment. Twenty-five
years ago, Justice Holmes asked, “What have we better than a blind
guess to show that the criminal law in its present form does more
good than harm?”
One serious reason for its breakdown has been the creation of
innumerable minor offences, which are repeatedly committed and
almost impossible to suppress. The police are diverted from murders
and burglaries to gambling and sexual delinquencies, while the
frequent winking at such breaches of law destroys the essential
popular conviction that a law ought to be obeyed just because it is
law. The Chief of Police of New Orleans told Raymond Fosdick, “If I
should enforce the law against selling tobacco on Sunday, I would be
run out of office in twenty-four hours. But I am in constant danger of
being run out of office because I don’t enforce it.” So they were
hanging green curtains, which served the double purpose of
advertising the location of the stands and of protecting the virtue of
the citizens from visions of evil.
At the present time we have thrown a new strain on the criminal
law by the enactment of nation-wide prohibition. The future will show
whether the main effect of this measure will be an increase in
disrespect and antagonism for law, or the ultimate removal of one of
the chief causes of lawlessness and waste. Unfortunately, the
perpetual discussion of home-brew receipts and hidden sources of
supply has prevented a general realization that we are witnessing
one of the most far-reaching legislative experiments of all time. What
we ought to be talking about is the consequences of prohibition to
health, poverty, crime, earning-power, and general happiness. It is
possible, for instance, that total abstinence for the working classes
coupled with apparently unlimited supplies of liquor for their
employers may have the double consequence of increasing the
resentful desire of the former to wrest the control of wealth from
those who are monopolizing a time-honoured source of pleasure,
and of weakening the ability of the heavy-drinking sons of our
captains of industry to stand up in the struggle against the sober
brains of the labour leaders of the future. Prohibition may thus bring
about a striking shift of economic power.
The delays, expense, and intricacies of legal procedure demand
reform. The possession of a legal right is worthless to a poor man if
he cannot afford to enforce it through the courts. The means of
removing such obstacles have been set forth by Reginald H. Smith
in “Justice and the Poor.” For instance, much has already been
accomplished by Small Claims Courts, where relief is given without
lawyers in a very simple manner. When a Cleveland landlady was
sued by a boarder because she had detained his trunk, she told the
judge that he had set fire to his mattress while smoking in bed and
refused to pay her twenty-five dollars for the damage. The judge,
instead of calling expert witnesses to prove the value of the
mattress, telephoned the nearest department store, found he could
buy another for eight dollars, and the parties agreed to settle on that
basis. Again, family troubles are now scattered through numerous
courts. A father deserts, and the mother goes to work. The neglected
children get into the Juvenile Court. She asks for a separation in the
Probate Court. A grocer sues her husband for food she has bought,
before a jury. She prosecutes him before a criminal court for non-
support, and finally secures a divorce in equity. One Court of
Domestic Relations should handle all the difficulties of the family,
which ought to be considered together. Much of the injustice to the
poor has been lessened by legal aid societies, which have not only
conducted litigation for individuals but have also fought test-cases up
to the highest courts, and drafted statutes in order to protect large
groups of victims of injustice. The injury done to the poor by
antiquated legal machinery is receiving wide attention, but it is also a
tax on large business transactions which is ultimately paid by the
consumer. Reform is needed to secure justice to the rich.
The substantive law which determines the scope of rights and
duties has been more completely overhauled, and many great
improvements have been accomplished. Relations between the
public and the great corporations which furnish transportation and
other essential services are no longer left to the arbitrary decisions of
corporate officers or the slow process of isolated litigation. Public
service commissions do not yet operate perfectly, but any one who
doubts their desirability should read a contemporary Commission
Report and then turn to the history of the Erie Railroad under Jim
Fiske and Jay Gould as related in “The Book of Daniel Drew.” The
old fellow-servant rule which threw the burden of an industrial
accident upon the victim has been changed by workmen’s
compensation acts which place the risk upon the employer. He pays
for the injured workman as for a broken machine and shifts the
expense to his customers as part of the costs of the business. The
burden is distributed through society and litigation is rapid and
inexpensive. Unfortunately, no such satisfactory solution has been
reached in the law of labour organizations, but its chaotic condition
only corresponds to the general American uncertainty on the proper
treatment of such organizations. It is possible that just as the King, in
the Middle Ages, insisted on dragging the Barons into his courts to
fight out their boundary disputes there, instead of with swords and
battleaxes on the highway, so society which is the victim of every
great industrial dispute will force employers and workmen alike to
settle their differences before a tribunal while production goes on.
The Australian Courts of Conciliation have lately been imitated in
Kansas, an experiment which will be watched with close interest.
Less importance must be attached, however, to the development
of particular branches of the law than to the change in legal attitude.
The difference between the old and the new is exemplified by two
extracts from judicial decisions which were almost
contemporaneous. Judge Werner, in holding the first New York
Workmen’s Compensation Act unconstitutional, limited the scope of
law as follows:
“This quoted summary of the report of the commission to the
legislature, which clearly and fairly epitomizes what is more fully set
forth in the body of the report, is based upon a most voluminous
array of statistical tables, extracts from the works of philosophical
writers and the industrial laws of many countries, all of which are
designed to show that our own system of dealing with industrial
accidents is economically, morally, and legally unsound. Under our
form of government, however, courts must regard all economical,
philosophical and moral theories, attractive and desirable though
they may be, as subordinate to the primary question whether they
can be moulded into statutes without infringing upon the letter or
spirit of our written constitutions.... With these considerations in mind
we turn to the purely legal phases of the controversy.” (Ives v. South
Buffalo Ry. Co., 201 N. Y. 271, 287, 1911.)
A different attitude was shown by the Supreme Court of the
United States in its reception of the brief filed by Mr. Louis D.
Brandeis on behalf of the constitutionality of an Oregon statute
limiting woman’s work to ten hours a day. Besides decisions, he
included the legislation of many States and of European countries.
Then follow extracts from over ninety reports of committees, bureaus
of statistics, commissioners of hygiene, inspectors of factories, both
in this country and in Europe, to the effect that long hours of labour
are dangerous for women, primarily because of their special physical
organization. Following them are extracts from similar reports
discussing the general benefits of shorter hours from the economic
aspect of the question. Justice Brewer said:
“The legislation and opinions referred to in the margin may not
be, technically speaking, authorities, and in them is little or no
discussion of the constitutional question presented to us for
determination, yet they are significant of a widespread belief that
woman’s physical structure, and the functions she performs in
consequence thereof, justify special legislation restricting or
qualifying the conditions under which she should be permitted to toil.
Constitutional questions, it is true, are not settled by even a
consensus of present public opinion, for it is a peculiar value of a
written constitution that it places in unchanging form limitations upon
legislative action, and thus gives a permanence and stability to
popular government which otherwise would be lacking. At the same
time, when a question of fact is debated and debatable, and the
extent to which a special constitutional limitation goes is affected by
the truth in respect to that fact, a widespread and long continued
belief concerning it is worthy of consideration. We take judicial
cognizance of all matters of general knowledge.” (Muller v. Oregon,
208 U. S. 412, 420, 1907.)
The decision displays two qualities which are characteristic of
the winning counsel since his elevation to the bench; it keeps its eye
on the object instead of devoting itself to abstract conceptions, and it
emphasizes the interest of society in new forms of protection against
poverty, disease, and other evils. To these social interests, the
property of the individual must often be partly sacrificed and in recent
years we have seen the courts upholding the guarantee of bank
deposits, State regulation of insurance rates, and suspension of the
right of landlords to recover unreasonable rents or dispossess their
tenants. All this would have been regarded as impossible fifty years
ago.
These extensions of governmental power over property have
been accompanied by legislation severely restricting freedom of
discussion of still more radical types of State control. It is argued that
the right of free speech must face limitation like the right of the
landlord. The true policy is exactly the opposite. Not only is it unjust
for the State to carry out one form of confiscation while severely
punishing the discussion of another form, but in an age of new social
devices the widest liberty for the expression of opinion is essential,
so that the merits and demerits of any proposed plan may be
thoroughly known and comparisons made between it and alternative
schemes, no matter how radical these alternatives may be. A body
of law that was determined to stand still might discourage thought
with no serious damage; but law which is determined to move needs
the utmost possible light so that it may be sure of moving forward.
No one has expressed so well the new importance of social
interests, and the value of freedom of speech; no one, indeed, has
expressed so nobly the task and hopes of American Law, as the man
of whom it is said that among the long list of American judges, he
seems “the only one who has framed for himself a system of legal
ideas and general truths of life, and composed his opinions in
harmony with the system already framed.” (John H. Wigmore,
“Justice Holmes and the Law of Torts,” 29 Harv. L. Rev. 601.) Yet no
one has been more cautious than Justice Holmes in warning us not
to expect too much from law.
“The law, so far as it depends on learning, is indeed, as it has
been called, the government of the living by the dead. It cannot be
helped, it is as it should be, that the law is behind the times. As law
embodies beliefs that have triumphed in the battle of ideas and then
have translated themselves into action, while there is still doubt,
while opposite convictions still keep a battle front against each other,
the time for law has not come; the notion destined to prevail is not
yet entitled to the field.” (“Collected Legal Papers,” 138, 294.)
It is the work of the present generation of American lawyers to
be sure that the right side wins in the many conflicts now waging. We
cannot be certain that the law will make itself rational, while we
remain as inactive as in the past, absorbed in our own routine, and
occasionally pausing to say, “All’s right with the world”; for, to quote
Holmes once more, “The mode in which the inevitable comes to
pass is through effort.”

EDUCATION
IF Henry Adams had lived in the 13th century he would have
found the centre of a world of unity in the most powerful doctrine of
the church, the cult of the Virgin Mary. Living in the 19th century he
sums up his experience in a world of multiplicity as the attempt to
realize for himself the saving faith of that world in what is called
education. Adams was not the first to be struck with the similarity of
the faiths of the mediæval and the modern world. This comparison is
the subject of an article by Professor Barrett Wendell published in
the North American Review for 1904 and entitled “The Great
American Superstition”:

“Undefined and indefinite as it is, the word education is just


now a magic one; from the Atlantic to the Pacific, it is the most
potent with which you can conjure money out of public chests or
private pockets. Let social troubles declare themselves
anywhere, lynchings, strikes, trusts, immigration, racial
controversies, whatever you chance to hold most threatening,
and we are gravely assured on every side that education is the
only thing which can preserve our coming generations from
destruction. What is more, as a people we listen credulously to
these assurances. We are told, and we believe and evince
magnificent faith in our belief, that our national salvation must
depend on education.”

Professor Wendell goes on trenchantly to compare this reigning


modern faith with that in the mediæval church. He calls attention to
the fact that whereas the dominant architectural monuments of the
Old World are great cathedrals and religious houses, implying the
faith that salvation could be assured by unstinted gifts to the church,
in our modern times the most stately and impressive structures are
our schools, colleges, and public libraries, many of them, like the
cathedrals, erected by sinners of wealth in the pursuit of individual
atonement and social salvation. “Ask any American what we shall do
to be saved, and if he speak his mind he will probably bid us educate
our fellow-men.” He might have extended his comparison to the
personal hierarchy of the two institutions, for at the time of his article
the President of Harvard spoke to the people of the United States
with the voice of Innocent III, surrounded by his advisers among
university presidents and superintendents gathered like Cardinal
Archbishops, in the conclave of the National Education Association,
of which the Committee of Ten was a sort of papal curia. Although
the educational papacy has fallen into schism, the cities are still
ruled by superintendents like bishops, the colleges by president and
deans, like abbots and priors, and the whole structure rests on a vast
population of teachers holding their precarious livings like the parish
priests at the will of their superiors, tempered by public opinion.
Indeed, Professor Wendell is struck by the probability that as
European society was encumbered by the itinerant friars, so America
will have “its mendicant orders of scholars—the male and female
doctors of philosophy.” But it is his main theme which concerns us
here, that “the present mood of our country concerning education is
neither more nor less than a mood of blind, mediæval superstition.”
The difference between faith as religion and as superstition may
be hard to define, the terms having become somewhat
interchangeable through controversy, but in general we should
doubtless use the pragmatic test. A vital and saving faith which
actually justifies itself by results is religion; a faith which is without
constructive effect on character and society, and is merely fanciful,
fantastic, or degrading we call superstition. The old education which
America brought from England and inherited from the Renaissance
was a reasonable faith. It consisted of mathematics, classics, and
theology, and while it produced, except in rare instances, no
mathematicians, classical scholars, or theologians, it trained minds
for the learned professions of those days and it gave the possessors
of it intellectual distinction, and admitted them to the society of
cultivated men everywhere. Its authority was largely traditional, but it
worked in the world of that day much as the thirty-three Masonic
degrees do in the world of Masonry. It may properly be called a
religion, and in its rigid, prescribed, dogmatic creed it may be
compared to the mediæval theology. At any rate, it suffered the same
fate and from the same cause. Its system was too narrow for the
expanding knowledge and the multiplying phenomena of the
advancing hour. It failed to take account of too many things. The
authority of tradition, by which it maintained its position, was
challenged and overthrown, and private judgment was set in its
place.
Private judgment in education is represented by the elective
system; President Eliot was the Luther of this movement and
Harvard College his Wittenberg. Exactly as after the Reformation,
however, the attitudes of assertion and subservience in spiritual
matters continued to manifest themselves where the pope had been
deposed, in Geneva and Dort and Westminster, so in spite of the
anarchy of the elective system the educational function continues to
impose itself in its traditional robes of authority, and to be received
with the reverence due to long custom. And in this way education in
America from being a saving faith has become an illusion. The old
education, its authority challenged, its sway limited, and nobody
caring whether its followers can quote Latin or not, is in the position
of the Church of Rome; the so-called new education, uncertain in
regard to material and method, direction and destination, is like the
anarchic Protestant sects. Neither possesses authority; the old
system has lost it, and the new ones have never had it. They are
alike in depending upon the blindness of the masses which is
superstition.
Although the generalization remains true that the mood of
America toward education is a mood of superstition, there are certain
forms of education operative in America to-day which approve
themselves by performance and justify the reasonable faith in which
they are held. The argument in favour of the elective system, by
force of which it displaced the prescribed classical course, was that it
was necessary to give opportunity for specialization. This opportunity
it has given, and in certain directions the results produced by
American institutions are of high value. Our scientific education is the
most advanced, and in the professions which depend upon it,
engineering and medicine, our product doubtless “compares
favourably” with that of Europe. These facts cannot be cited,
however, as a valid reason for the American faith in education as a
whole. It is recognized to-day that progress in natural science has far
outrun that in politics, social life, culture—therein lies the tragedy of
the world. A few men of science have a knowledge of the means by
which the human race can be destroyed in a brief space—and no
statesmen, philosophers, or apostles of culture have the power to
persuade the human race not to permit it to be done.
In another direction a great increase of specialization has taken
place—in the preparation for business. Our colleges of business
administration rival our scientific schools in the exactness of their
aim, and the precision of their effort. Here again, however, it may be
questioned whether their success is one to justify belief in the
educational process as a whole. The result of such specialization
upon the business organization of society can hardly be to arouse a
critical, and hence truly constructive, attitude in regard to the whole
economic problem; it is nearly certain to promote a disposition to
take advantage of the manifest shortcomings of that organization for
individual successful achievement. Whether society as a whole will
profit by the efforts of such experts as our business colleges are
turning out remains to be seen. Whether we are wise in
strengthening the predatory elements which put a strain on the social
organization, at a time when the whole structure is trembling, is open
to question. Here again the faith of America in education as social
salvation is not justified by individual results, however brilliant and
fortunate.
The value of the specialist to society is unquestionable, but he
alone will not save it. Such salvation must come from the diffusion
and validity of the educational process as a whole, from the men and
women of active intelligence, broad view, wide sympathy, and
resolute character who are fitted as a result of it to see life steadily
and see it whole, reason soundly to firm conclusions in regard to it,
and hold those decisions in the face of death. The specialist indeed
may be considered a necessary subtraction from the general social
army, a person set apart for special duty, whose energies are
concentrated and loyalties narrowed. We expect him to die, if need
be, in maintaining that the world moves, but not for freedom of
thought in the abstract. It is by the generally trained, all-round
product of our education that the system must be judged. And what
do we find?
The general student, it appears, tends to be the product of as
narrow a process as the specialist, but not as deep. As the demands
of specialization become more exacting, its requirements reach
farther and farther back into the field of general education, and more
and more of the area is restricted to its uses. The general student in
consequence becomes a specialist in what is left over. Moreover, he
exercises his right of private judgment and free election along the
path of least resistance. Laboratory science he abhors as belonging
to a course of specialization which he has renounced. The classics
and mathematics, to which a good share of our educational
machinery is still by hereditary right devoted, he scorns as having no
raison d’être except an outworn tradition. With the decline of the
classics has gone the preliminary training for modern languages,
which the general student usually finds too exacting and
burdensome, and from the obligation of which colleges and
secondary institutions also are now rapidly relieving him. We
boasted in the late war that we had no quarrel with the German
language, and yet by our behaviour we recognized that one of the
fruits of victory was the annihilation of at least one foreign speech
within our borders. The general student is thus confined, by right of
private judgment of course, to his own language and literature, and
such superficial studies in history and social science as he can
accomplish with that instrument alone. His view is therefore narrow
and insular. His penetration is slight. He is, in short, a specialist in
the obvious.
Not only does the general student tend to be as restricted in
subject-matter as the specialist, but he lacks the training in
investigation, reasoning, and concentration which the latter’s
responsibility for independent research imposes. The definition of the
aim of general education on which Professor Wendell rested his
case for the old curriculum in the article quoted above, is “such
training as shall enable a man to devote his faculties intently to
matters which of themselves do not interest him.” Now clearly if the
student persistently chooses only the subjects which interest him,
and follows them only as far as his interest extends, he escapes all
training in voluntary attention and concentration. In his natural
disposition to avoid mental work he finds ready accomplices in his
instructors and text-book writers. They realize that they are on trial,
and that interest alone is the basis of the verdict. Accordingly they
cheerfully assume the burden of preliminary digestion of material,
leaving to the student the assimilation of so much as his queasy
stomach can bear. One way in which the study of English literature
or history can be made a matter of training in criticism and reasoning
is to send the student to the sources, the original material, and hold
him responsible for his conclusions. He may gain a wrong or
inadequate view, but at any rate it is his own, and it affords him a
solid basis for enlargement or correction. Instead of this the student
is invited to a set of criticisms and summaries already made, and is
usually discouraged if by chance he attempts a verification on his
own account. The actual reading of Shakespeare, Bacon, Milton,
Swift, Burke will give the student at least a certain training in
concentration; but this is hard, slow, and dry work. It is much easier
and more comprehensive, instead of reading one play of
Shakespeare, to read about all the plays, including the life of the
author, his dramatic art, and some speculations in regard to the
Elizabethan stage. It was William James who pointed out the
difference between knowledge about and acquaintance with an
author. The extent to which we have substituted for the direct vision,
with its stimulating appeal to individual reaction, the conventional
summary and accepted criticism, the official formula and the
stereotyped view, is the chief reason for the ready-made uniformity
of our educated product.
The pioneer democracy of America itself is responsible for a
method of instruction typically American. The superstitious faith in
education was the basis of a system whereby many busy, middle-
aged persons whose early advantages had been limited, by means
of attractive summaries, outlines, and handbooks, could acquaint
themselves with the names of men, books, and events which form
the Binet-Simon test of culture, and enable the initiate to hold up his
head in circles where the best that has been thought or said in the
world is habitually referred to. This method is carried out in hundreds
of cultural camp-meetings every summer, by thousands of popular
lectures, in countless programmes of study for women’s clubs.
Unfortunately it is coming to be not only the typical but the only
method of general education in America. Chautauqua has
penetrated the college and the university. Better that our fathers had
died, their intellectual thirst unsatisfied, than that they had left this
legacy of mental soft drinks for their children.
Thus far I have had the college chiefly in mind, but the same
observations apply equally to the secondary school. The elective
system has made its way thither, and indeed one of the chief
difficulties of organizing a college curriculum for the general student
which shall represent something in the way of finding things out, of
reasoning from facts to conclusions, and of training in voluntary
attention, is that of determining any common ground on the basis of
previous attainment. Not only the elective system but the
Chautauqua method has largely permeated our high schools. The
teachers, often on annual appointment, more than the college
instructors, with comparative security of tenure, are dependent on
the favour of pupils, a favour to be maintained in competition with
dances, movies, and The Saturday Evening Post, by interesting
them. It is therefore a common thing for teachers to repeat in diluted
form the courses which they took in college—and which in the
original were at best no saturate solutions of the subject. The other
day, on visiting a class in Shakespeare at a Y.M.C.A. school, I
ventured to suggest to the teacher that the method used was rather
advanced. “Ah, but my daughter at high school,” he said, “is having
Professor Blank’s course in the mediæval drama.” Now such a
course intended for graduate students investigating sources,
influences, and variations among saints’ plays and mystery plays,
could have no educational value in material or method for a high-
school pupil, but it was, no doubt, as interesting as a Persian tale.
Inasmuch as the colleges and the secondary schools are both
uncertain as regards the meaning and aim of general education, it is
not surprising to find the grade schools also at sea, their pupils the
victims both of meaningless tradition and reckless experiment. The
tradition of our grade schools, educational experts tell us, was
brought by Horace Mann from Prussia. There the Volkschule was
designed for the children of the people, who should be trained with a
view to remaining in the station in which they had been born. At
least, it may be conceded, the German designers of the system had
a purpose in mind, and knew the means to attain it; but both purpose
and means are strangely at variance with American conditions and
ideals. Other experts have pointed out the extraordinary retarding of
the educational process after the first years, when the child learns by
a natural objective method some of the most difficult processes of
physical life, accomplishing extraordinary feats of understanding and
control; and some of the most hopeful experiments in primary
education look toward continuing this natural method for a longer
time. At present the principle of regimentation seems to be the most
important one in the grade school, and as the pace is necessarily
that of the slowest, the pupils in general have a large amount of
slack rope which it is the problem of principals and teachers to draw
in and coil up. Altogether the grade school represents a degree of
waste and misdirection which would in itself account for the
tendencies toward mental caprice or stagnation which are evident in
the pupils who proceed from it.
Thus the parallel which Professor Wendell established between
our educational system and the mediæval church would seem to
have a certain foundation. In the colleges, as in the monasteries, we
have a group of ascetic specialists, sustained in their labours by an
apocalyptic vision of a world which they can set on fire, and in which
no flesh can live; and a mass of idle, pleasure-loving youth of both
sexes, except where some Abbot Samson arises, with strong-arm
methods momentarily to reduce them to order and industry. In the
high schools, as in the cathedrals, we have great congregations
inspired by the music, the lights, the incense, assisting at a
ceremony of which the meaning is as little understood as the miracle
of the mass. In the grade schools, as in the parish churches, we
have the humble workers, like Chaucer’s poor parson of the town,
trying with pathetic endeavour to meet the needs and satisfy the
desires of their flocks, under conditions of an educational and
political tyranny no less galling than was the ecclesiastical.
But, we may well enquire, whence does this system draw its
power to impose itself upon the masses?—for even superstition
must have a sign which the blind can read, and a source of appeal to
human nature. The answer bears out still further Professor Wendell’s
parallel. The mediæval church drew its authority from God, and to
impose that authority upon the masses it invented the method of
propaganda. It claimed to be able to release men from the burden
which oppressed them most heavily, their sins, and in conjunction
with the secular power it enforced its claims against all gainsayers,
treating the obstinate among them with a series of penalties,
penance, excommunication, the stake. Education finds its authority
in the human reason, and likewise imposes that authority by
propaganda. It too claims the power of salvation from the evils which
oppress men most sorely to-day—the social maladjustments,
“lynchings, strikes, trusts, immigration, racial controversies”—and it
is in alliance with the secular power to preserve its monopoly of
social remedies from the competition of anything like direct action.
Now it is clear that in the religion of Christ in its pure form the church
had a basis for its claims to possess a power against sin, and a
means of salvation. Similarly it may be maintained that human
reason, allowed to act freely and disinterestedly, would be sufficient
to cope with the evils of our time and bring about a social salvation.
Indeed, it is curious to remark how nearly the intellectual conclusions
of reason have come to coincide with the intuitive wisdom of Jesus.
The church was faithless to its mission by alliance with temporal
power, by substituting its own advancement for the will of God, by
becoming an end in itself. Education likewise is by way of being
faithless to itself, by alliance with secular power, political and
financial, by the substitution of its own institutional advancement for
disinterested service of truth, by becoming likewise an end in itself.
In one of the most remarkable pronouncements of the present
commencement season, President Hopkins of Dartmouth College
summarized the influences which make against what he calls
Verihood. They are first, Insufficiency of mentality, or over-
professionalization of point of view; second, Inertia of mentality or
closed mindedness; and third, False emphasis of mentality or
propaganda. The late war and its evil aftermath have put in high
relief the extent of this third influence. President Hopkins speaks as
one of the Cardinal Archbishops of Education, and I quote his words
with the authority which his personality and position give them:

“Now that the war is passed, the spirit of propaganda still


remains in the reluctance with which is returned to an impatient
people the ancient right of access to knowledge of the truth, the
right of free assembly, and the right of freedom of speech.
Meanwhile the hesitancy with which these are returned breeds in
large groups vague suspicion and acrimonious distrust of that
which is published as truth, and which actually is true, so that on
all sides we hear the query whether we are being indulged with
what is considered good for us, or with that which constitutes the
facts. Thus we impair the validity of truth and open the door and
give opportunity for authority which is not justly theirs to be
ascribed to falsehood and deceit.”

The war was a test which showed how feeble was the hold of
American education upon the principle which alone can give it
validity. Nowhere was the suppression of freedom of mind, of truth,
so energetic, so vindictive as in the schools. Instances crowd upon
the mind. I remember attending the trial of a teacher before a
committee of the New York School Board, the point being whether
his reasons for not entering with his class upon a discussion of the
Soviet government concealed a latent sympathy with that form of
social organization. The pupils were ranged in two groups, Jews and
Gentiles, and were summoned in turn to give their testimony—they
had previously been educated in the important functions of modern
American society, espionage, and mass action. Another occasion is
commemorated by the New York Evening Post, the teacher being on
trial for disloyalty and the chief count in his indictment that he desired
an early peace; and his accuser, one Dr. John Tildsley, an
Archdeacon or superintendent of the diocese of New York under
Bishop Ettinger:

“Are you interested in having this man discharged?”


“I am,” said Dr. Tildsley.
“Do you know of any act that would condemn him as a
teacher?”
“Yes,” said Dr. Tildsley, “he favoured an early peace.”
“Don’t you want an early, victorious peace?”
“Why ask me a question like that?”
“Because I want to show you how unfair you have been to
this teacher.”
“But Mr. Mufson wanted an early peace without victory,” said
Dr. Tildsley.
“He didn’t say that, did he? He did not say an early peace
without victory?”
“No.”
“Then you don’t want an early peace, do you?”
“No.”
“You want a prolongation of all this world misery?”
“To a certain extent, yes,” said Dr. Tildsley.

Nor did the sabotage of truth stop with school boards and
superintendents. A colleague of mine writing a chapter of a text-book
in modern history made the statement that the British government
entered the war because of an understanding with France, the
invasion of Belgium being the pretext which appealed to popular
enthusiasm—to which a great publishing house responded that this
statement would arouse much indignation among the American
people, and must therefore be suppressed.
We need not be surprised that since the war education has not
shown a disinterested and impartial attitude toward the phenomena
of human affairs, a reliance on the method of trial and error, of
experiment and testimony, which it has evolved. Teachers who are
openly, or even latently, in sympathy with a form of social
organization other than the régime of private control of capital are
banned from schools and colleges with candle, with book, and with
bell. Text-books which do not agree with the convenient view of
international relations are barred. Superintendents like Ettinger and
Tildsley in New York are the devoted apologists for the system to
which they owe their greatness. To its position among the vested
interests of the world, to the prosperity of its higher clergy, education
has sacrificed its loyalty to that which alone can give it authority.
The prevention of freedom of thought and enquiry is of course
necessary so long as the purpose of education is to produce belief
rather than to stimulate thought. The belief which it is the function of
education to propagate is that in the existing order. Hence we find
the vast effort known as “Americanization,” which is for the most part
a perfect example of American education at the present day. The
spirit of “Americanization” is to consider the individual not with
reference to his inward growth of mind and spirit, but solely with a
view to his worldly success, and his relation to the existing order of
society, to which it is considered that the individual will find his
highest happiness and usefulness in contributing. This programme
naturally enough finds a sponsor in the American Legion, but it is
truly disconcerting to find the National Education Association
entering into alliance with this super-legal body, appointing a
standing committee to act in co-operation with the Legion throughout
the year, accepting the offer of the Legion to give lectures in the
schools, and endorsing the principle of the Lusk Law in New York,
which imposes the test of an oath of allegiance to the Government
as a requirement for a teacher’s certificate.
We have now the chief reason why education remains the
dominant superstition of our time; but one may still wonder how an
institution which is apparently so uncertain of its purpose and
methods can continue to exercise such influence on the minds and
hearts of men. The answer is, of course, that education is not in the
least doubtful of its purpose and methods. Though the humble and
obscure teacher, like the Lollard parson, may puzzle his brains about
the why and how and purpose of his being here, his superiors, the
bishops, the papal curia, know the reason. Education is the
propaganda department of the State, and the existing social system.
Its resolute insistence upon the essential rightness of things as they
are, coupled with its modest promise to reform them if necessary, is
the basis of the touching confidence with which it is received. It
further imposes itself upon the credulity of the people by the
magnificence of its establishment. The academic splendour of the
commencement season when the hierarchs bestow their favours,
and honour each other and their patrons by higher degrees, is of
enormous value in impressing the public. Especially to the
uneducated does this majesty appeal. That an institution which holds
so fair an outlook on society, which is on such easy and sympathetic
terms with all that is important in the nation, which commands the
avenues by which men go forward in the world, should be able to
guarantee success in life to its worshippers is nothing at which to be
surprised. Hence we find the poor of different grades making every
sacrifice to send sons and daughters through high school, through
college, in the same pathetic faith with which they once burned
candles to win respite for the souls of their dead.
There are reasons, however, for thinking that the superstition is
passing. In the first place, nowhere do we find more scepticism in
regard to the pretensions of education than among those who have
been educated, and this number is rapidly increasing. In the second
place, the alliance between education and a social system
depending on private capital is too obvious, and the abrogation of
the true functions of the former is too complete. The so-called
Americanization campaign is so crude an attempt to put something
over that even the unsophisticated foreigner whom it is intended to
impress watches the pictures or reads the pamphlets which set forth
the happy estate of the American workman, with his tongue in his
cheek. The social groups which feel aggrieved under the present
order are marking their defection by seceding from the educational
system and setting up labour universities of their own. So serious is
this secession that New York has passed the Lusk Law, designed to
bring the independent movement under State control. In the third
place, the claim of education to be an open sesame to success in life
is contradicted by the position of its most constant votaries, the
teachers. The prestige which used to attach to the priests of learning
and which placed them above the lure of riches has vanished; their
economic station has declined until even college professors have
fallen into the servantless class, which means the proletariat. Truly
for such as they to declare that education means success in life is a
dismal paradox.
Another sign of approaching reformation in the educational
system is to be found in the frankly corrupt practices which infest it.
Here the parallel to the mediæval church is not exact, for in the latter
it was the monasteries and religious houses that were the chief
sources of offence, while the colleges and private institutions of
higher learning which correspond to them are singularly free from
anything worse than wasteful internal politics. It is the public
educational system which by reason of its contact with political
government partakes most palpably of the corruption that attends the
democratic State. It is unnecessary to mention the forms which this
corruption takes where a school board of trustees by political
appointment is given the exploitation of the schools—the favouritism
in appointments and promotions, the graft in text-books and
equipment, the speculation in real estate and building contracts, the
alienation of school property. There is scarcely a large city in the
country in which pupils and teachers alike are not shamefully and
scandalously defrauded by action of school trustees which can be
characterized in the mildest terms as wilful mismanagement
conducing to private profit.
There are two things necessary to the reform of education. One
is democratic control, that is, management of institutions of teaching
by the teachers. It is to be noted that this is the demand everywhere
of labour which respects itself—control of the means of production
and responsibility for the result. Surely the teachers should be one of
the first groups of toilers to be so trusted. Under democratic control
the spoliation of the schools by politicians, the sacrifice of education
