FREE PUBLIC ScHooLS-"Fr,

FREE PUBLIC SCHOOlS.-'Free
public schools" has been one of the
battle cries of the American repub-
lie. If this nation stands for any
thing among the nations of the
world, it is for the right of children
to have an education and to get that
education inside the walls of schools
free from the dictatiOn of business,
politics or religion. In the present
situation where the Loeb majority of
the school board has discharged Al
teachers whose records are efficient
for the sole reason that they are
members of the Teachers Fedora
ton, Chicago is watching the dirty
hand of business, the dirty hand of
politics and a dirty manipulation of
the religious issue in an attack on
the public schools. The interest of
the teachers is small and amounts to
nothing compared with the inter
ests of the school children and the
making Of our future citizenship

out of this muddle is to be found then
it can be classed as a successful at
tack on the free public school sys-
TEN, for which this republic Is sup
posed to stand. Every school board
director who voted with Loeb had a
hand in it. If Chicago wants to see
it's whole public school system
wrecked and thrown to politicians,
grafters and business interests, let
Chicago go right along and say yes
to the board action of last week.
