PROMINENT CITIZENS
OPPOSE COMPULSORY
EDUCATION MEASURE

MANY prominent citizens from all
sections OF Oregon are opposing with
every influence at their command the
proposed compulsory education bill,
so-called. on the November 7 ballot.
Space affords only room for the fol-
lowing expressions:
Mrs. Alexander Thompson, Oregon's
first woman legislator, now president
of the Federated Women's clubs OF
Portland-The bill Is not American;
quite the reverse. 1t is paternalism
at it's worst. do not for a moment
believe the generous, fair-minded peo-
pie of Oregon will vote In such an
iniquitous measure; have too much
faith in them.
Edith knight Hill, for years club
worker, editor Of the official state fed
Grafton bulletin-With all the en-
phasis at my command, will say that
this proposed bill is unfair, un-Amer-
lean and unnecessary. 1t should be
so badly defeated that for all time II
will lie buried deep under the over.
whelming avalanche Of an indignant
electorate's ballots.
Mrs. Norman F. Coleman, widely
known educator and club woman-To
my mind, this bill is repugnant, un.
called for, mischievous, barking back
to the dark ages of persecution, big
otry, witchcraft. It should be beaten.
W. L. Brewster, ex-city commissions
er of Portland, leading member Of the
Oregon bar, member OF the Portland
library board and chairman OF the
Non-sectarian and Protestant Commit
tee for Freedom in Education, with
headquarters in the Consolidated
Securities building, Portland-I am
devoting most Of my time in the Of.
fort to defeat the bill. I couldn't AZ.
ford to do that If it were not pernic-
ious, vicious and violation OF sacred
principles.
Judge Stephen A. Lowell, Pendle-
toni cannot too severely condemn
the measure. There is a fair com.
pulsory education law on our statute
books now. Nothing further need be
said, except to ask all liberty-loving
voters to repudiate by their ballots
this bill.
Louis E. Bean, Eugene am un.
alterably opposed to the bill. II is
useless, a backward movement and en-.
tirely out of place IN libertyloving
Oregon.
The Lutheran ministry in general
has condemned the bill; Presbyterian
pastors throughout the state have re-
pudiated 1t; the Episcopalians and Ad-
ventists, whose schools It would close,
have Joined In the outcry against the
measure.
The Protestant and Non-sectarian
Committee office has evidence from
all over Oregon that the bill is In.
creasingly unpopular. as people grasp
its sweeping, unfair provisions.

Iof secular knowledge is the dominating
fact of the lives of the Christian peo.
pie. 1t is exercising an ever more
complete and irresistible authority
over both the conduct and the con.
science of mankind. But its authority
is devoid of moral sanction. If the
secularization of knowledge continues.
it will ultimately wreck civilization.
The integrity of the City Of God can
only be restored by the reunion of
knowledge and religion. The New
Republic.
"Only religious education can bring
permanent order out of the chaos of
the present, for things never can be
right until people are right, and peo-
pie will not be right until they are
right at heart-in ideals, motives, will
and habits. Bishop Reese.
my task is very easy. The ac-
cused has confessed defense is i'm
possible. And yet want to add few
words. There on the wall see the
picture of the Crucified and | pay
homage to it. There it hangs in this
hall of justice, where you condemn the
guilty. But why do we not hear any,
thing of Him in our schools to which
you send your children? Why does San
dot, the murderer, for the first time
in his life see the Crucified here in this
hall where the law will punish him?
If the attention of my client had been
directed to the Crucified when he still
sat on the benches of the school, he
would not now sit here on the bench of
infamy. Extract from French law
yer's address to jury.
One does not often cite Thomas H.
Huxley in connection with church
work or religious education, but in a
recent issue of the OEegonian Edward
H. Clark. Registrar of the Diocese of
Oregon. gives us an extract from his
writings that is worthy of note: 81
have always been strongly in favor of
secular education in the sense of edu-
cation without theology; but | must
confess have been no less seriously
perplexed to know what practical
measures the religious feeling, which
is the essential basis of conduct, was
to be kept up, in the present utter
chaotic state of opinion on these mat
ters without the use of the Bible. By
the study of what other hook could
children be so humanized?"
What are we doing? Are we inter-
ested in the religious education of our
children? We are making sacrifices to
culture their minds and to develop
their bodies, but what about their
souls? What about the discipline of
their inner lives? What about their
habits. will. motives, ideals? Think
about it.

1t would seem as if in these day
for one man who is ready to say
"Come, and let us do BETTER" we hav,
dozen men who are content will
standing around and complaining how
poorly everyone else is doing. Ant
yet 1t is doubtful il that latter per.
formance ever set the world forward
even by one little step. while the for.
mer has been the usual if not the only
way of real human progress. We have
had recently a regular epidemic OF
complaint and fault6nding. Perhaps
it can be excused in view of all that
we have been through; but it is surely
time now that we we're through with
it, and got out Of that purely negative
and critical habit and into the con.
structive and building-up one. The
over-critical age is always an empty
age and the super-critical life is al.
ways an empty life. Inevitably the
man who unduly develops the gift OF
criticism comes to the place where he
finds his satisfaction in it, and looks
upon the much harder job of really i'm
proving things as an irksome and both.
ersome task. Indeed we are convinced
that criticism is about as easy an occu-
patton as one can cultivate. since in il
one can make such a great show of
wisdom and zeal, and it's emptiness
isn't apparent to everyone. But to
bring one good thing into being, even
il it be an insignificant one, is vastly
more worth while than to explain
learnedly what is wrong with the
world.
The story of the man who was being
shown through an art gallery illus
trates the attitude Of too many toward
life. When he was shown an ancient
masterpiece instead of permitting the
spectacle to food his soul with beauty,
he gave it hasty glance and called
the attention of his companion to a
tiy-speck on the framel
II we were preaching a sermon on
this subject we would conclude with an
exhortation to guard against "fiy
speck hunting" 1t is very much cas-
ier to find Hy specks than to paint
1t requires no genus
to criticise and knock. If you cannot
play the game yourself take a seat on
the bleachers and yell encouragement
to those who are participating and
thus contribute your quota to the
chances Of victory.

A Sermon on a Bee

A clover blossom contains less than
one-eighth of a grain of sugar, but
1000 grains are required to make a
pound of honey, and a vagabond bee,
seeking everywhere for sweetness.
must obtain this material from 1000
clover heads.
The bee is compelled to insert its
proboscis separately in each foret or
fower-tube and there are about 60 of
these to each head. The bee in per-
forming that operation 60 times Sc, 900,
or $3.50, 600 times, gets only enough
nectar for one pound of honey and
then does not get the honey.
The bee has preached another ser
mon. 1t is time for some Of US to learn
what work really is.

EDUCATORS HIT
THE SCHOOL BILL
College Heads of National Re.
pute Score So-calIed Edu-
Cational Measure.

Active steps are being taken b!
opponents of the so-called compulsory
education bill, which will be on the
November ballot, to inform the voters
of their reasons why this proposed law
should not pass. Various Protestant
denominations having vital interests
at stake have established general
headquarters on the fifth floor of the
Consolidated Securities building, Port
land.
From this office is being dissem
mated literature and information con
cerning the bill. The organization is
named Non-Sectarian and Protestant
Schools Committee for Freedom in
Education. w. L. Brewster, ex-city
commissioner, and at present mem
Der of the Portland library board, is
the chairman. Joseph A. Hill, prin-
cipaI of the Hill Military academy,
Portland, an old established non-sec-
tartan school for boys, is executive
secretary.
That the proposed bill is causing
widespread interest throughout the
entire United States and that 1t Is
drawing comment from the country's
foremost educators, none of whom,
thus far, has been favorable to its pro-
visions, is the declaration of Mr.. Hill.
Adverse criticism has been receiv-
ed from Nicholas Murray Butler, presi
dent of Columbia university, who con-
cluded his letter by saying:
This bill should be entitled A bill
to make impossible the American
system of education in Oregon. 1t is
fundamentally un-American in its prin
ciple and purpose and should be over
whelmingly defeated"
1.-THE task of educating all the chill
dren of America is great enough to
make right thinking men welcome the
cooperation of every proper private
and public effort to this end" COM
ments Robert E. Vinson, president of
the University of Texas.
Harry Pratt Judson, president of
the University Of Chicago, says he
believes the proposed law would "vio.
late fundamental rights of American
citizens with regard to the education
of their children"
1T certainly looks like an attempt
to give the majority of the people a
dangerous power to restrict the diff
fusion Of truth which 1t wishes to
SUPPRESS" is the way Arthur Had
ley, president of Yale university, sizes
up the bills provisions.
These comments are by unpreju-
diced men of the highest standing,
who have no interest other than the
public interest" said Mr.. Hill. "It
is a good sidelight on the local sit
uation from unbiased sources"

PROSPECTS FOR BASEBALL.

The warm weather the past week
brings to mind those scorching days
Of last summer, when sweltering in
the intense heat the baseball fans
would anxiously await the umpire's
melodious voice announcing the bat
teries for today's game.
Well, you'll certainly have the same
opportunity again this year. Shep-
herdstown is going TO have a real bail
club this year-if all indications are
correct, it will be better than ever.
The American Legion at its last meet
ing decided to manage the team again
this season and elected board Of man.
ayers as follows: Mcclure Moler, Sec
rotary; George T. Knode, treasurer;
and George r. Mckee. manager. This
board, with the help OF the Legion, will
put team in the field this summer.
II is their request that the public join
hands and back them in every possible
way. The team is for the benefit OF
the public, for its pleasure and amuse-
ment; SO ii will be to the interest OF
every fan to listen 10 the words that a
representative Of the board will bring
to you within the next few weeks.
Last year we defeated everything in
Jefferson and Berkeley county alike.
We lost the edge in the series with
Uncle Sandy Bakers Winchester ag-

awfully close, considering that he i'm
