" "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 Stanford and other great Universities have em 3 I: " Ii phatically condemned it. i. That the private schools, under the existing: law, are required to conform their course of stud- -: ie's to the public schools -standards, the English) :: tj language is maae compulsory, and they are sub- ir ject to the jnspection and supervision of the State- . authorities. - ?-' j That the proposed law will close up every i ' j j orphan asylum, home for defective and dependent.

"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." - The foregoing ' Negative Arguments' are as Strong today as when written and filed. They re main unshaken and unshakable, after three months of public discussion.
