In another column viii be found
circular from State Superintendent J.
b. Thayer, on the Bennett Law IN re-
lation to our public school system.
Every reader of the HERALD will find it
instructive reading and nothing preiu'
dicial to American citizens or that bul-
wark of freedom, our public schools.
The pride of on American is the uni
versal intelligence Of our citizens and
this is due largely to our free school
system. The compulsory clause has
been in force in Eastern states for years
and its beneficial effects have been
established beyond all points Of crit.
cism. Its necessity was enforced through
the thousands OF immigrants coming 10
our shores every year to mingle with
our people and eventually become citl-
zens, many of them brought up without
| even the knowledge of what education
meant; their very training intoxicating
the belief that what was sufficient for
them would be good enough for their
children. The very essence OF Ameri
can independence could not permit this
Indifference to enlightenment 10 be fost-
cred and expanded in the midst OF grow
inc millions whose vote would ono day
control the destiny of the Nation
The teaching OF English in the schools
Is a matter that should not need legis-
laton for its enforcement No nation
could exist that would permit IFS child
rem to be reared in ignorance OF their
native language; unable to read aud
comprehend their duties as citizens; and
no parent, with love for his children,
would bringthem up handicapped.in such
manner that their lives would be full
of modification and regret. fhe time
to learn Ian guage is when Dung, and
children, unable to realize their own
needs, would follow the instructions Of
their parent, only to realize evey day
thereafter the crying injustice done
them.
The law does not forbid the teaching
of other languages, it only makes Eng
lish the foundation ono. The law does
not interfere where children are being
educated by private tutor. private
school, parochial school or any paid
institution, if the English language is
taught as the base of education The
compulsion of attending public schools
is only where no other form Of education
is being given. The weeks Of attendance
arc not excessive. and are only sufficient
to fair education that should be ac-
CURED by every body in any walk of
life. In nut shell, the education of
the MISSES is necessity where the gov
eminent is dependent and controlled by
those same masses, and every citizen Of
what eyer previous nationality should
give it unwavering support.
