Editor Tribune:
I am going to vote NO on that
compulsory school bill and can give
reasons
I am in favor of the prev­
ent compulsory law. if the legis­
lature will amend it. The law should
be amended requiring the private
schools to establish common school
departments in their colleges, plac­
ing the course of study and the ex­
amination of teachers under the
supervision of the county superin­
tendents in counties in which there
are private schools.
To give a background to my ar­
gument. it is ne re asary for me to
say that I was in the teaching work
over 42 yearn 1 taught awhile in
a normal school in another state, al­
so was county superintendent 9 vears
in that state. 1 was president of a
college 5 years; superintendent of
Indian schools a few years, taught
in common and high schools the rest
of the time, ao I know of that which
I write. My advanced education
was acquired in a normal school and
a Congregational college.
If those who are opposed to private
schools in Oregon teaching children
will visit the same early and often.
I am sure they will come away with
at least a modified opinion.
It would do our public school
teachers a great wrong to say they
do not lend a moral and cultured in­
