'TH babe in arms the little tot tugging at apron stringsI-the
chilo!' ready for schoolwho will advise taking these away
from a mother's direct control?
And yet the upholders of the School Monopoly Bill (called on
the ballot "The Compulsory Education Bfll") would take away the
mother's right to say, how her child should be educate. They would
deny her the right of direct parental control by .taking away her
choice of a school for her own child.
America Has Always Allowed Its Mothers to
Direct The Education of Their Children
Mothers who have sent their children to public schools have not
been under compulsion to do this. They have exercised their free
choice in sending them there. !
' Jr !
i : ;
Most mothers have, of their own free will, chosen to send
their children to the public schools. A comparatively small number
has, for legitimate and proper reasons, chosen to send their children
to other schools. For one-hundred and fifty years nobody has ques
tioned their right It has always been held sacred.
The Child That Needs Special Attention
Perhaps your child needs special attention, either because of a
set-back or because it has special talents. Perhaps you feel that it
should be educated in a religious school. You would not want to
be denied the right to give your child this special attention, or to
carry out another ideal in education. Nor would
you want anybody else denied this right

Mothers of Oregon Look to Your
Qod'Qiven Rights
Yours is the child. Yours is the right and the duty- to have a
direct hand in guiding and educating it This Would be denied you
if the proposed school bill is adopted, which" converts a. free public
school into a compulsory public school. The state will then choose ;
the school for your child ahd-compeilyou to afiaie! absolutely by its,
not your choice. ' '-,-'r. V . :? J'if .V r

JDon't be Deceived by the Name of the Bill
To understand entirely what this bill really stands for, you must
; first know about the name they -have given it They call it on the
ballot "The Compulsory Education Bill." If you will look up the
present law you will find that we already have compulsory educa
tion, and that all children must be taught American ideals and in
the English language. What the bill really proposes is that the
state shall destroy every mother's right directly to determine the
education of her children.
' Jc- '
This School Bill Demands Study
The danger lies in the possible misunderstanding of the real
meaning of the bill. Read, the literature and discuss it with your
-friends. Don't be misled by highsounding phrases and false appeals
to patriotism-r-ancient tricks for. inducing people
to give up their hard-won rights and liberties. -
