Bringing an indictment ot the
public school system that falls to
make boys and glrte grow up, but
leaves them childish. provincial,
hating, warring creatures. Rabbi
David I^fkowttz of Temple Em-
manu-Ei. Dallas, found the solu-
tion of the problem in the glostfied
function of the schoolmaster Sun-
day morning, when he delivered
the baccalaureate sermon to the
graduating class of the Teachers
College
Calling upon the graduates who
are to begin careers as teachers to
be "stone-rollers." Dr. Lefkowita
took a double text. Biblical and
lay, He first read the first two
verses of Genesis 29. choosing as
hte theme “And a great stone was
upon its (the wells) mouth.” Much
of his discourse had to do with
H. O. Wells* appraisal of the evils
of the age in “The World of Wil-
11am Cltesoki. ’ and with bis three-
fold solution to guide teachers.
Lefkowitz commended to them the
calling of schoolmaster, led by Con-
fucius. Socrates and Jesus. In Am-
erica and modern, times. the
“Scotch schoolmaster. - Woodrow
Wilson, received tribute of the
speaker, who also held up

More Stone of Ignorance
"Roll away the heavy stone of
ignorance from the well, that its
waters refreshing may be free for
al who come." he summed up as
the duty of teachers, urging that
they roll away the whole stone,
and not merely draw up the wa-
ter by spurts and spigot*.
"Set boys and girl* on tiptoe to
the glory of the world.” adjured the
speaker "Lift up the boys and girl*
out of the mist, to the beauty and
wonder of existence. There is a
great world of adventure here for
men and women of the world who
will adventure There te something
poetic in the world; there te noth-
ing prosaic about IL”
He summoned teachers to join
the "open conspiracy" described by
Wells in the chapter of that title
in his "World of William Cltesold"
and sketched the program set forth
there for world betterment. A lib-
eral world press, replacement of
military by peace and police ideate,
and a "boldly conceived new edu-
cation" were reviewed by Lefko-
witz
Unsound Fruit of Schools
“Looking at the provincialism,
the gusts of hate, incomprehensi-
bility of humanity—te this the fruit
of compulsory education?" he ques-
tioned He mentioned hastily con-
ceived legislation, wasteful admin-
istration of government, increasing
criminality, delinquency. divorce,
overflow of institutions for defec-
tives. as result* of school* In which
there is "a great swarm of medioc-
rity." It is here that the demo-
gomies get their following. from
people who are unable to think for
themselves, asserted the speaker.
"No wonder Well* says we have-
n’t grown up. we aren't mature,
when in the 20th century, a ques-
tion that should have been settled
by eight or 10 persona around a
table brought on the most murder-
ous war in history."
Sonia 3 Thirsts
■There arc three .thirsts of the
soul, not one. He’s no schoolmaster
who recognizes only one." declared
Lefkowitz. turning to consideration
of remedial measure*. Jt is ths ob-
ligation of the teacher to roll away
the stone that the children may
ouench their thirst for knowledge,
for fore, and for faith.
“Oive back to the materialittip
Tfith century boy *nd «brl the
^mutv and wonder of the world.”
he urged 'Take faith out of the
world and it's a cresv pattern, a
prison house of suffering, and ta<
