Combining Mothers Pension
And the Public School Sustem


Two hundred years ago in England it
was the law that children convicted of
stealing should suffer the death penalty.
At that time there were no free public
schools or public schools of any kind
All schools were privately operated for
profit.
Inc cost to the parents of sending
their children to these private schools
conducted for profit) was SO large that
men who worked for the ordinary wages
OF that time were not able to send their
children to school at all.
Most of these children grew I'D iIlit-
crate, but thousands of them were
caught stealing and many were hanged
till dead.
1t was discovered that children who
were educated did not steal and get
hanged. An agitation was started to
schooi all children at public expense.
inns was bitterly opposed for longer
than 100 years.
In 1929 in the city of Philadelphia.

,,,, TO be supported by general taxation.
lhey were set upon by the police, beat

and undesirable citizens.
some property owners said it was con.

educate another mans children. Tbev
SAID That each man should pay for the
schooling of his own children or their
children should go unschooled, and that

their children at public expense.
People who opposed this idea of free

The best speed delivered in Congress
during the discussion over the Gore
McLemore resolutions warning American
citizens against taking chances with Ger

Western senator, George SUTHERLAND OF
Utah. He said: Instead of forever
telling our citizens to run, | should like
for once to hear somebody bid them
stand, with the assurance that their
government will stand with them. In
stead of warning our own people to ex-
ercise their rights at their peril, 1 would

satisfied with this expenditure of pub.
lie money than with any other.
Previous to 1911 in the several states.
it was the law that mothers who were
too poor to provide for their own chill
dren had their children taken away
from them by the Juvenile Courts and
sent to institutions, which institutions
were supported by general taxation.
Tens of thousands of children were
separated from their mothers in thi.
way in the United States during the
years from 1893 to 1911.
in l9ll the state of Illinois enacted
the first statewide Mothers' Pension
law. which law authorized the payment
OF sufficient money to mothers Of de-
pendent children to enable these moth
ers to take care of their own children
in their own homes; this money to be
collected by general taxation.
Twenty-six states now have this law
and this year more than $4,000 900 win
be paid to these mothers under this sys.
tenn.
This is known as the Mothers PEN
sion system for abolishing child pov.
erty. For five years ] have been max.
ing and am still continuing to make a
nation-wide campaign to extend this
Mothers Pension System into every
state in the Union and to expand its
provisions so that it will abolish child
poverty in the same way that free pub
lie schools have abolished iIliteracy
During the year 1915 I crossed the con.
tinent six times from ocean to ocean
and campaigned in every large city in
the United States. I propose that the
Mothers' Pension System and the Free
Public School System be combined. Thev
are one in principle and should be one
in administration.
