PUBLIC SCHOOL
Vote 314 x Yes
The purpose of the compulsory public school attendance bill is to Insure
the Instruction of all Oregon children of grammar school age In a common
language, a common history and common Ideals, to the end that American
unity shall be promoted, American ideals safeguarded and American Insti
tutions perpetuated.
This bill la proposed because Its supporters believe that only by universal
education of our children on standard and uniform lines can these things be
achieved.
This bill proposes no religious restrictions. It contemplates no limitation
of the right of the parent to teach religion to his child in his own way and
according to his own belief. It raises no Issue of religious difference.
This bill Is purely a measure to Insure that all children by attending the
public schools shall be taught alike during their grammar school years, so
that their outlook may grow to be a unified outlook for the common weal
and for their country and its institutions.
To make an all-American nation we must have all-Amorlcan Instruction
Of our children along recognised Btandard lines. Ignorance of American
Ideals and Institutions and language is the greatest menace to them, because
those who do not understand them properly do not support them.

spuds dug in both the upland and
lowland districts so far are, gener
ally speaking, "smooth and hand
some." Knobby and inferior pota
toes will be the exception. Commit
teemen having the event in charge

potato show ever held in Weston
will prove to be a pronounced suc
cess, .especially since many other
attractive products will be shown to
round out the potato exhibits. An
of spuds to the acre is said to be
average yield of around 70 sacki
in prospect from upland fields.
