WOULD KEEP RELIGIOUS
ISSUE OUT OF SCHOOLS
Joseph Stull Comments on Political
Campaign Features in West
ern State.

To the Editor of TIE Star:
The article which appeared in The
Evening Star on october II, 1922, un-
der the heading of politics in Oregon
Classea Amazing" written by David
Lawrence. was a very great surprise
to me, as I have always been under
system in the United States was a
good institution, in that It not only
gave the pupils a good education. but
was also the foundation upon which
the future citizenship Of this country
was built.
1t is inconceivable TO me that the
religious, jealousies Of any one sect OF
religion. or the petty selfishness and
snobbishness of the private school
owners. be they Roman Catholic or
Protestant, should be allowed to OBJ
tect to the education of our future
citizens in the public schools of this
country. which are not only nom
sectarian. but are free and equal to
the native and foreign born alike, and
where the educational and patriotic
principles which are taught are be-
yond reproach by any one.
The argument used by Mr.. Lawrence
that the children belong to the par
ents, and they should be at liberty to
send them to any school which they
may wish to choose. and that the
state should not have anything to say
in the matter is not sound, as this
would allow a religious or political
sect of any kind to settle in this coun-
try, erect schools of their own In
! which the children could be taught
principles that would be in entire
variance with those that are the very
foundation of our great democracy.
The education of our children should
| be as separate from the church as is
our government, and the religious
! education can best be taken care of
| in the home and the church in the
time that is set aside for that pur-
pose.
If this educational bill that is be-
fore the people in Oregon is defeated
| then It will mean step backward,
and the thought that was intended to
| be a help to the citizens Of this coun-
| try will have been killed unjustly.
