The German Churchmen and the Ben
nett Law

Editor Republican: In your issue of
March 10 you say the Turner's wanted
the Bennett law revised in direction
directly opposite to that advocated by
its enemies. What the German church
men would like to see eliminated, J"
the Turner's desired to remain. This is
not true. We want to have the same
things changed which the Turner's Of
the west side wish to have altered, but
We want few more changes made. For
instance, we oppose the clause that
prescribes that reading, writing, arith
metic and United States history must
be taught in English, and the Turner's
say "the law should in no wise be in
terpreted as seeking to monopolize En-
glish instruction for certain branches"
The Turner's OF the west side ask that
educational and religious liberty shall
not be infringed upon, and exactly that
we ask, too. Besides the resolutions of
other Turnvereine, for instance, those
of the South Side Verein, are much
more against the Bennett law than the
resolutions you print. Remarkable is
your first sentences: "The 15ennett law
explicit and binding" If you will
lCco WLIctu OA-NOf' AeuOh, oCIclCOlO Aeb w
yer and Spooner, Chairman Payne,
Congressman Van Schaick and other
leading Republicans have to say on the
subject, and take into consideration
that the city convention in Milwaukee
unanimously voted in favor Of repeal
ing or amending the Bennett law, |
think you will not any longer pro-
nounce the objections to the Bennett
law ''dishOnest - but also come to the
conclusion that that wonderful law is
not all right. But there is no doubt
that by cooperation and unbiased dis
cussion Of the law and it's evident de-
fects we shall come to an understand
ing, which will give us really practical
law that will be satisfactory, if not to
all, at least to large majority of our
people. A. F. ERNST,
Chairman City Committee of Oppon-
ents to the Bennett Law.

Pres. Ernst and the Bennett Law.

A dispatch dated Milwaukee, March
IA, which was published in our columns
last week, relative to the position of the
West Side Milwaukee Turner's on the
Bennett law, calls forth communities
ton from Pres. A. F. Ernst, of the
Northwestern university, that appears
elsewhere in this issue of THE REPUB-
LICAN. Pres Ernst labors evidently
under a misrepresentation as to the
source of the subject he desires to
answer, treating it as if expressive of
our own views on the Bennett law.
This, however, is not the case, the dis
patch being published wholly with the
view of showing one phase of German
sentiment ON the Bennett law ust as
we have on several occasions published
the views of the Lutherans indicating
their opposition to the law. Under
these circumstances Pres. Ernst must
be considered as having his controversy
altogether with the West Side Turner's
of Milwaukee, although we take pleas
ure in giving his views on the Bennett
law to our readers.
We do not at this time wish to enter
into discussion of the merits OF the
Bennett law, but merely desire to state
en- passant that in one part of the law
which meets the disapproval of Pres.
Ernst is embraced the principal point
in it's favor, to our mind. We refer to
that section which prescribes that in
every school in the state there shall be
instruction in four branches in the En-
glish language for at least twelve weeks
of the school year. The Bennett law is
falsely interpreted when it is held to
mean that any school in Wisconsin is
prevented from giving instruction in
reading, writing, arithmetic and United
States history in any other language
but English This is on a par with an
other thing charged upon the law,
namely, that the German language is
prohibited by it from being taught in
any school in Wisconsin. Nothing can
be more false; the law only says that
there shall be instruction in English in
the branches above mentioned during
the twelve weeks-German, French,
Italian, Spanish, scandinavian, Welsh
or any other language being free to be
taught the rest of the school year. OF
course, reference is now made to schools
other than the public schools. The
basis of instruction in the latter is by
law in the English language.

The Republicans of Milwaukee
formulated the following declaration of
sentiment on the Bennett law at the
Republican city convention held last
Saturday:
In the education of the children of
the republic lies the safety of our free
institutions.
We believe in the public schools and
are proud that our state has come to
Justly rank with the foremost of the
states, so far as it's schools and educa-
tional institutions are concerned.
We wish to see no backward step
taken, but rather that all our educa-
tional agencies shall be advanced to
even higher standard.
We believe, moreover, that no child
should grow up without being taught to
read and write in the English language
nor without being educated in the prin-
ciples and history of our government
We endorse, without reserve, that
provision of law which is aimed to pre-
vent child labor, and to place children
under IA years of age in schools, where
they may be educated and trained land
the foundation laid for intelligent anG
useful citizenship.
So far as the sO-called Bennett law
may be considered as involving the
rights of the state to make and enforce
suitable legislation to secure corapul
sorry education, including the acquire
ment of reading and writing in the
language of the country, it has our cor.
dial assent and appreciation.
We affirm the natural and adherent
right of the parent in the selection O
the school in which the child shall be
educated, and any provisions of this
law which are at variance with this
principle we believe to be against sounC
public policy, and an Infringement O
those traditions touching personal lib
erty, and the rights of conscience, il
which our people have been educated
and to which they solemnly adhere.
The rights of conscience, and the
rights of worship according to individ
uai preferences, are sacred rights, anC
the Republican party will be the las
to question this vital maxim.
We therefore believe that this Law
should be amended, or a new law. en-
acted in accordance with the principles
herein set forth.
