T EFT us be done with this insidious propaganda in

school children with craftsmanship and cheap adyer-
Using.
The Seattle school board at one time enforced
drastic ruling banning any such thing from reaching
into the public schools But it is coming back
One teacher The Star knows about is teaching
radicalism to pupils.
newspaper recently had the opening installment
OF a new serial crcuarized thru the teachers in at
least school classroom.
And now comes an attempt by antipublic owner
ship interests to use the public schools in their cam
paign.
This attempt already has the O. K of Mrs
Josephine c. Preston, state school head.
1t comes in the nature of an essay contest on
Regulation of Public Utilities" and the prize offered
IS a $1,000 scholarship, donated by the Northwest
Electric Light and Power Co., combination of private
utility companies.
Here is the dynamite: With the details of the
contest there sent out a set of pamphlets and
other literature guides to the pupils in preparing
their essays. And these pamphlets are filled with
anti-public ownership propaganda
What aftereffecs will the close study of such mat
ter by child, who only the lure of 81 900
scholarship, have on that boy or girl of immature
years? Neat, isn't it?
A. S. Burrows superintendent of King county
schools, has its danger and announced that the
contest would not be sanctioned in the county schools
Superintendent Cole, of the Seattle schools says
the matter is up to the school board that he has no
authority to act in the face of a rule that bans all
prize contests in the schools here.
The Star earnestly suggests, then, members of the
school board that you stamp out this peril at once
And that while you are cleaning house you sweep
out these other dangers to our children that have
been creeping in of late.
We intrust children to the public schools for
impartial education only The parents can do theS
rest.
