Whether this Compulsory school

we shall have some legislative

be required to pass the same exam­

This would be American­

cover. After they have passed these
grades, and the age limit, they can
attend any religious or denomina­

So I could teach them Americanism.
Christ said "A new commandment I
give unto you Thou shalt love the
Lord thv God. with all thy heart,
with all thy soul, with all thy
strength, and thy neighbor as thy
self upon these two, hangs all the
law and prophesies." What is more
than this, or abort of thia, is not
worth considering in any country
or any religious cult.
What kind of a harmonious school
would we have in Scio, if one room
was set a side for the children of
Baptist parentage with a Baptist
teacher, another ore for Preshy-
ter tana wi h a Presbyterian teacher,
another one for Catholic with a
catholic teacher, another one for
Bohemian children with a Bohemian
teacher, another one for German
children with a German teacher,
and no on down the line.
Wouldnt
we have one hell of a mesa in lhe
lhe school?
The only remedy would be to
wipe out the whole thing and come
to gether on one standard bonis.

It is no

place their children in such schools
where they know that a positive

however, be in favar of church
