The third annual automobile ex- ,
position tp be held by the Al
bany motor dealers this year,
with new features and the best
.display in the history of the as
.'As'usual, when masstvo mlndaTgot
together, tho religious Issue has pop
pod up at tho legislature, and a sblon
from Multnomah county, has started
fishing for the amallboro bigot rote,
by sly efforts to agitato Ihe Catholics
and; Protestants. .This, la exemplify
ing tho Christian sprrlt, after the
manner of a couple of tomcats.
TUB moist progressive states t'diieafmmilly, from Massaehiisetts to
California have free text books. The practice is firmly ground
ed, both in principle find practice. Free text books are supported by
the principle of free mid equal educational opportunity which lies
i,t the basis of American Democracy. They are supported in prac
tice by a reduction in educational costs, better service and prompter
distribution. i ' '
A bill has bcin introduced in the state senate providing free text
books in the public schools of Oregon. Although we have no copy of
Ihe bill, the principle is right, and unless there are defects iu detail,
the bill!nlioulil pass. , ; '
Kvery child, whether rich or poor, should enter the door of every
public. K'licol on equal terms with every other child. This is impos
sible, unless text books are provided. For many children, under the
present system, are without a complete set of books, because their par
ents can not afford to buy them. They share one book with brothers
or sisters or friends. Although there is now a law forcing the school
district to supply books to children whose parents cannot afford to buy
theiii, thisjaw is almost never enforced., Many school districts have
n.o funds for such a purpose. In other di.stricts'parents who can not af
ford (he expense, refuse to appeal to the district. There is the matter
of .pi-jde. lioks so provided are always marked accordingly, and
.everyone knows how sensitive the average child is, to discriminations
of this kind. . . ' ' , 1
So in Oregon schools today the poor child does not cnler the public
school on an equality with the ehild in more fortunate circumstances,
fiooks are just us essential to school education as teachers. There is
no more reeason why parents should pay for one than the, other.
The records show that no state which has adopted free text books
has ever abandoned them. The system is not only right in principle,
but it pays. Oregon should join the other progressive stales in p'ro
viding free text books for its 'public school children. , f
