sign a pledge of loyalty to tho govern

necessary in this clt," said Doctor
Garber. "Wo have n very thorough
course in civics. That courso furnishes
the backgiound for lojalty to the gov
ernment and American institutions.
"Anjbody going through out course
here ought to he a thorough Ameri
can, It might bo n question just how
much worth n compulsory pledgo would

Dr. Armand .T Gcrson, supervising
principal of the William Penn High
School, and said to bo "slated" for
associate superintendent of schools, con
curred in Doctor flurbcr's views.
"I nra n much firmer believer in
proper Instruction than in compulsory
pledges. Doctor Gerson stated.
Ddwin Wolf, president of thn Board
of Education, was noncommittal on the
subject. Uo said If tho question of a
loyalty pledg came before tho JJoird ot
Education ho would state his opinion
to the board.
