MRS. THOMPSON OP POSES SCHOOL BILL Portland. Ore., October 14, 1922. Editor Glacier There hai probably never been a bill presented for the ap proval of the voters which has caused such widespread aiBcuuaion as me bo called Compulsory hducation mil on on the ballot for the November elec tion. Having represented your district in the legislature for two regular sessions and one special session, l reel inai you will agree that I need not protest my very great interest in our public schools. My record speaks for itself ; by every vote and every speech wniie I served vou I proved my faith in and my concern for our public school sys tem. I hold no brief for the private school except that feeling we should all have in according to every citizen the same right which we claim for ourselves, therefore 1 am unalterably opposed to this bill because I believe in freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of education. 1 believe that we should continue to safeguard the privileges guaranteed us by the con stitution in protecting the individual's right to life, liberty and property. It occurs to me that the discussion as to the value of religious training in connection with secular education is beside the question. The real issue lies deeper than this. There is an underlying fundamental American prin ciple at stake; it raises the question as to whether the child belongs to the parent or to the state. The family is the unit of the state and when the state seeks to abrogate the rights of parents and usurps their authority both the family and the state are weakened thereby. Absolute state control of education is not an Ameri can ideal any more than state control of religion or medicine, but a violation of the fundamental principles oi our American eovernment. Germany advo cated and practiced this sort of thing in order to control the thought of the younger generation and build up a mil itary machine, but tms idea nas no place in a democracy. Less than five years ago our Doys lougni me greatest foe of modern times for this principle. Are we to establish here in America, here in our beloved Oregon an autoc racy equal to that in Germany which thousands of our gallant soldiers fought and died to destroy? The bill is not American but quite the reverse. It is paternalism at its worst. If the state can establish and control all ele mentary education, the state can logi cally designate the higher institutions to which parents must send their chil dren, doing away eventually with such splendid seats of learning as Reed Col lege. Linville College and facinc ana Willamette Universities, etc. The law would be unjust because it would mean the confiscation of millions of dollars worth of private property. Our government has never advocated confiscation of property except for the public good, two notable instances be ing the confiscation of the slaves of the south and later the saloons. Doth evils that threatened the welfare of our nation. Is Oregon now to be the fool of the family of states and class our splendid private schools along with these two evil institutions whicn our government abolished? It ia incon ceivable that we should do this in the face of the fact that we number among our most valuable and patriotic citi zens, men and women who have re ceived their early training in these in stitutions. We have on the statute books now, a splendid compulsory school law which regulates all private schools. If there are influences in any of these schools that tend toward disloyal citzizenship, or if un-American doctrines are being taught, the laws of Oregon are being violated and the proponents of this measure should turn their attention to their enforcement. Can they truthfully say that Hill Military Academy, Mrs. Allen's Pre paratory School, Miss Jewell's or Miss Catlin's splendid school for girls are teaching un-American uoctrines? This problem of Americanization can be met in a better way than to put out of business Jthe useful and constructive schools of Oregon that have been func tioning loyally and efficiently for years and meeting a real need of many par ents so situated that the private school is a necessity. How would our good friends, the proponents of this bill, dispose of the many orphans and half orphans receiving their education in the above mentioned schools because they get better discipline and super vision than they could possibly get elsewhere without parental guidance? Statistics show that in all of the pri vate and parochial schools there are only 6.3 per cent of the children of Oreguii as against 93.7 per cent in the public schools. I believe that the pub lic school is the bulwark of our nation al life but we are admittedly in a bad way in Oregon if such a email minority in attendance at our private schools is going to wreck the grand old ship of itate even if they are as un-American as the advocates of this measure would have us believe. A prominent sponsor of this bill in bis latest advertisement is authority for the statement that the 1920 census shows that we have nearly five million illiterates in the United States. We all sgree w ith him that this is too many, but he overlooks the fact that private schools bad nothing to do with this appalling illiteracy. The assumption is that they were too poor to take advantage of private schools. Properly these people should have been receiving the benefits of free education which our country pro vides. ith the facilities for educa tion which our Amrican pubiic schools possess, many of us must have failed in exercising that 100 per cent Ameri canism of which we boast when such a shocking condition exists in free Amer ica, 1 feel justified in making this cnticism, for while some oi us have been sctively and constantly working to build up our public schools by the enactment of such laws as the eight months minimum school bill, teacher's minimum salary bill, the two-mill tax for elementary education, part time schools, etc., very few of our citizens who are now clamoring for the passage of this destructive measure have been i.lentnie.i with the e campaigns to im prove our public school system. It is always easier to tear down than to build up. No. this Americanization problem will never be entirely solved by abol ishing private schools. We may im prove our put lie schoc U to the highest point ci emciercv, in even nen an this is dore, unless ether insidious forces in this country are regulated, and corporate greed is curbed; unless we do away with corruption in hich place, we will continue to have this t rotlem of non-sssirrr.lation of our for- eiirn torn and revolt of r.itive torn Americans. It is pesft !e for the penile of Ore gon to te swept o:T their feet ty the ir;ert?"n cf the rel tiout queMirn into th'is cm. trovers? the mighty ma jority rr.nv win; but w hen we do, we will advertise to the world the fact that Otsron is a sUte U at disregard the tight of minorities and we will turn tukrs and investors from our borders for years to come. I have too much faith in the fair minded, freedom loving people of Ore gon to believe that this bill will be come a law. Yours for a better and greater Ore gon, Mrs. Alexander Thompson.
