The Republican party, IN convention as
sembled, declares It's devotion to the COM
mon school as the chief factor in the edu-
cation of the people, and pledges itself to
support, strengthen and defend it.
1t recognizes as valuable auxiiia-ies IN
the work of popular education the private
and parochial schools supported without
aid from public funds and disclaims abSo-
lutely any purpose whatever to interfere
in any manner with such schools, either as
to their terms, government or branches, to
be taught therein.
We affirm the right and duty of the state
TO enact laws that Will guarantee to all
children sufficient instruction in the legal
language of the state to enable them to
read and write the same.
We believe that the compulsory educa-
ton law. passed. by the last Legislature, is
wise and humane in all its essential pur-
poses, and we are opposed to its repeal;
