CAM SCHOOL
BILL APPROVED.
The Cam Senate bill No. III, which
has created considerable agitation in GER
tain circles, was signed by Governor Nc
Cray today, although he admitted IL
would put at least two private schools
out of business and would cost the tax
payers Of the districts in which they are
situated considerable money for the erec-
ton of new schools. This is the measure
sc ardently espoused by the News.
The schools which the Governor said he
believed would be forced to close be-
cause OF the provision of the bill that
State money can not be paid for the
maintenance of private schools are Fair
mount Academy in Grant County ana
- Spiceland Academy at Spiceland.
''If your action in signing the oili
will put these schools out OF business
and will necessitate the erection of pub
lie schools why have you signed the
BILL" the Governor was asked.
Because I do not believe in the prin-
ciple OF paying public money to private
schools" he replied as he blotted his sig
nature.
