Governments cannot rightfully
take them away
AMERICA has always stood for the protection of natural and inalien
J- able right9, among which noneis so sacred as that of parents over
their children.
- ABRAHAM LINCOLN said. "
"The Family is the corner-stone of social order and the guarantee
of public safety. No Government can take the place of the Parent, and
should never be permitted to usurp it." Speech at Quinry, Ills., 1859.)
The results of the campaign against the so-called Compulsory Edu
. cation Bill, which is in fact a Bill to Establish State Monopoly of Educa
tion, may be grouped under two heads i
Facts demonstrated
The FACTS DEMONSTRATED, no longet
seriously disputed by anybody, are these
That the. Bill was given a False Title, to mis-'
lead the public and deceive the voters.
That it in no respect pretends to improve the
existing law as to the Public,SchooIs. but simply
destroys the Private Schools.
That not one cent of public money goes to the
support of any private or parochial school in this
State, or ever has, or ever can, under the plain
prohibition of the Constitution and laws.
That it will increase taxation at least $1,000,000
each year, and require from $3,000,000 to $4,000
000 investment in new public school buildings.
That it vests in the County Superintendents ar
bitrary and unappealable power to grant special
privileges to the wealthy and influential, bjr
which they will be exempt from the law.
That it will prevent parents from educating
their children in private schools- both inside and
outside of the State, as they cannot even send
their children elsewhere to be educated.
That so far from being united in support of the
Bill, the Masonic Fraternity -in th State is di
vided. many of the leading Masons are openly
opposed to it. and the Grand Master of the State
Grand Lodge has publicly denied that the Grand
Lodge indorsed it.
That the best elements in the social, rcligiouv
educational, and political life of the State are op
posed to the measure.
That the educational leaders, inside and outside
of the State, are opposed to the Bill. Dr. Nicholas.
Murray Butler, of Columbia University, says: "It
should be called a Bill to render the Americani
system of education impossible in Oregon." The
Presidents of Yale, Princeton. Chicago. Lclandi

Arguments unanswered
1 THE LUTHERAN ARGUMENT. "XI you
tee fit to send your child to a school in which your,
religion is taught, not one day in the week, but
every day, and the whole training of the child is
permeated by such religion, the State, under the
Constitution, must not. prohibit you from so do
ing. This bill is manifestly unconstitutional."
2. THE PORTLAND CITIZENS' AND TAX.
PAYERS' ARGUMENT: ."If the number of chil
dren now attending the public schools is to be in-
creased by adding those now taught in the private
! schools, it it inevitable that overcrowding must :
result unless new buildings are supplied, and it is
also certain that taxes must be materially increased."
i 3. ST. HELEN'S HALL (EPISCOPAL) AR
GUMENT i "No invidious fact or condition affect-
! ing public interest has been called to our attention
that would furnish in the slightest degree an excuse
for the proposed legislation."
j 4. THE PRINCIPALS OF PRIVATE
j SCHOOLS' ARGUMENT i "It is against the best
i American ideals of freedom, in that it denies to men
and women freedom of thought and action in the
choice of environment and influences for their chil- .
dren;"
S. THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS'
ARGUMENT. "We are not at all certain that a
man educated in the public school is more intelligent
j than if Jie were educated in a private or sectarian
school,""nor have we heard any convincing argu-
, ment that a person is necessarily more patriotic if
educated in a public school, than if he were edu
cated in s school not supported by public taxa
tion." . 6. THE CATHOLIC ARGUMENT. "There
4s no occasion now for agitation that will estrange
old friends and neighbors, and that will divide our
people into classes and factions. No greater mis
fortune can -befall us than movements calculated to
create divisions. '
7. THE PRESBYTERIAN MINISTERS' AR
GUMENT: "It is based on the philosophy of autoc
racy that the child belongs primarily to the State :
it is an unjustifiable invasion of family authority, and
threatens ultimately the guarantee of our American
liberty."

Strong today as when written and filed. They re
main unshaken and unshakable, after three
months of public discussion.

pal Church, meeting in Portland recently, adopted
