PROTESTANT FORCES
FIGHT SCHOOL Bill
Organization Formed to- State
Opposing Side to Voters
of Oregon.

Opposition on the part OF various
Protestant denominations to the pro-
posed compulsory education bill, So
called, is being carried on through an
organization formed In Portland, with
headquarters In the Consolidated
Securities building. It's purpose is to
state to the voters Of Oregon the OBJ
Jections Of those whom It represents
to the passage OF the measure.
W. L. Brewster, former city COM
missioner Of Portland, member of
the public library board and lawyer
of prominence, is chairman. Joseph
A. Hill, principal Of Hill Military
academy, Portland, non-sectarian
school for boys, is executive secretary.
Members representing various Pro
testant interests include Richard W..
Montague, James Stapleton, Frederick
Strong, H. @. Thurston, F. w. ]. Syl-
vester, w. J. Henderson and Mabel
Holmes Parsons.
A statement Just issued through this
office says, briefly:
The proposed bill Is fundamentally
un-American, as 1t undertakes to de-
prive certain people Of the right to
send their children to schools where
religion is a part of the training.
1t would close all private schools
of whatsoever denomination or non
sectarian institutions, such as the Hill
Military academy,
1t is unnecessary; upsets the theory
of our government; fosters intolerance,
bigotry and invites religious contro-
versy.
Its provisions would place on tax
payers of Oregon more than $1,000
900 additional taxes to care for the
several thousand pupils now in the
various private schools of the state;
new buildings would be required and
large added teaching staff.
Above all, 1t is unconstitutional, and
harks back to witchcraft days when
burning at the stake was the fate
of many who believed differently than
others and dared to exercise their
rights; 1t Is inconceivable that the
voters of generous Oregon will put
the brand of religious bigotry and In
tolerance upon this fair state.

YOUl

You, voters of Oregon, must
decide November z whether or
not you want the state to take
away your God-given, American
right and privilege to educate
your child as you deem best.
An initiative bill, sponsored
by a certain element Of our citi-
zens, known as the compulsory
education measure, win be on
the ballot this general election.
II purports to compel children
up to certain years to go to
school Ia very good thing in
itself), but 1t goes so far as to
tell you that you must NOT
send them to any private school.
There is already a compulsory
education law on our statute
books that is working well. It,
however, gives you the right
to say whether your child shall
be educated in the public or a
private school. YOU decide; but
this new bill denies YOU the
right to determine this Ques-
tion.
Do you want such a law as
this in Oregon?
