Rather, it Is disgrace to the state of
Washington, which used to boast Of its
unexcelled educational opportunities,
open alike to all.
Free public education is facing fight

this fall took one step in the direction of
abolishing truly public schools. Its ef-
fort was palpably illegal and the tuition
fees it sought to establish in the high
schools were promptly knocked out.
These university fees are equally un-
American, equally unjust, equally in
conflict with what the public wants; but,
unfortunately, they are not illegal, or
they, too, would promptly be booted into
oblivion. They were imposed by the
state legislature and it is the state
