Considerable interest is centering around the so-called
Compulsory Kducation or Anti-Parochial School measure
which will appear on the ballot at the coming election as an
initiative measure.
Th measure seeks to make mandatory the attendance I HoPPner is a quiet town lately,
of every child between the ages of six and fourteen years at mai)y of the residents being in the
the public schools and making unlawful the attendance of mouatains or at tne seashore dodging

Many persons seem to be of the opinion that the Anti
Parochial Sc hool measure is aimed at and will affect only
Koman Catholic educational institutions, but a glance at
the arguments that have been filed' against the measure for
publication in the State Official Pamphlet shows that op
position to the measure is by no means confined to the
Catholic church. Seven arguments have been filed aeainst

ventists, Presbyterian' Ministers and Catholics.
A few excerpts from the several arguments are of in
int crest:
Lutheran Synod "Who owns your child? Who
iecds and clothes your child? The state? Not while you
are alive and able to care for your own Now if you
own your child and are in duty bound to feed and clothe it,
you certainly have some say about your child's education
and its teacher. The state has a right to compel you to edu
cate your child just as it has a right to, compel you to feed
and clothe your child. Hut the state has no more right to
choose the teacher for your child and the school it shall at
tend than it has to tell you where to buy your child's cloth
mg and what kind of clothing it shall wear.
"This bill, if enacted into law, will deal ai terriffic blow
loyour constitutional rights, confiscate your parental
authority, and undermine your personal liberty. Jt will
also curtail your religious liberty."
as follows:
Continuing, the argument quotes President Harding
'"In my experience of a year in the White House, there
lias come to me no other such unwelcome expression as the
i.i.uiiiiM n.-iiious imoierance winch exists
ol, our citizens.

Thirteen prominent citizens of Portland, including V.
M. I, add, John C. Ainsworlh, Chas. II. Carey, Win 1)
Whcelright, Richard Montague, W .15. Ayer and several
others, none of whom are Catholic, join in an argument
against the measure in which they say in part:
" 'This measure imitates the 'method of public educa
tion which brought Prussia to her deserved destruction
giving the state dictatorial power over the training of child
ien and destroying independence of character and freedoiA
ol thought. In present day Russia the Bolshevist govern
ment treats the child as the ward of the state, 't his meas
ure proposes to adopt this method and to substitute state
couhol lor the authority and guidance of the parents ami is
tleslructive of American Independence.' "
Seventh Day Advcntists "We believe in our public
M.'hools. We believe they should be supported by public
taxation. We believe their highest aim i.s to assist in oe
elopinw intelligent citizens. We believe in compulsory
education. We are not at all certain, however, that a mail
educated in the public school is more intelligent than if he
were educated in a private or sectarian school. Nor have
we heard com iucing argument that a person is necessarily
"'ore patriotic, if educated in a school not supported bv
public taxat ion.
"for its Iirst fifty years our country had no public
M-lmols; hut the patriotism of that time cannot be question
id. ll anarchy is taught by any teacher of private or pub
lic school, this can and ought to be corrected bv the govern
ment. Is it proven that anarchy is bred, and hatred for
the ".Mars and .stripes" is begotten bv a daily study of the
go.-pel 01 Jesus Christ? Those initiating the measure art
well aware that not all who have attended private schools
are desirable citizens. Anarchists and criminals have

"We favor state inspection of all schools. We favor

ganda in favor of this bill has been conducted in the name
of Protestantism, we the undersigned ministers, members
of the Presbyterian Church, believe that the proposed leg
islation is inimical to the highest human welfare for the
following reasons:
"1. It -proposes to abolish one system of religious edu
cation and offers no substitute for it in any plan of relig
ious instruction in connction with the public school system.
"2. It is based on the philosophy of autocracy that the
child belongs primarily to the state; it is an unjustifiable in
vasion of family authority and threatens ultimately, the
guaurantee of our American liberty!
"3. The proposed legislation in. its conception, promo
tion and execution violates what we conceive to be the spirit
of fraternity and brotherly love taught by our Master.
"At the same time we desire to be understood that we
favor the erection of standards by the State Department of
Education for both students and teachers in all private
schools."
