IN statement presented to the board,
the parents contended the Importance
of a free text book policy in Washing
ton hinges upon the fact that the COM
pulsory school attendance law requires
children to attend school until they
are 16 years of age. Normal progress
in the schools carries student through
10 grades, including two years Of senior
high school.
Thus we compel a child to attend
whether he wants TO or not" the par
ents declared. yet we force him to pay

BOOK BILL failure
BLAMED ON HELM
Board of Education Group
Says ALBANIAN Distracted
Consideration.

Blame for the failure of the free text
book bill to pass the last session of Con-
gress was laid upon Senator Heflin OF
Alabama by the Board Of Education's
legislative committee in its report on
school legislation to the board late yes
teTday.
At the same meeting, delegation OF
e5 Washington parents appeared before
the board requesting 1t to petition
President Hoover to include statement
of approval of the bills passage in his
message to the coming special session
of Congress.
Word of the action before the board
brought from Senator Heflin the state
fnent that he would attempt to get the
measure up in the special session OF
Congress. and that If it could not be
passed with his amendments. he would
not make any effort to block its passage
Senate Hefflin, the committee said.
obstructed the consideration OF the Dill
which was on the unanimous consent
calendar, when he insisted upon vote
on amendments concerning the teach
ing of what he termed the American
doctrine of separation of church and
state" which he sought to incorporate
in the bill. The Senator refused to
withdraw his fight for the amendments
even when Henry L. Gilligan, chairman
of the committee, pointed out that fall
1Ire of the bill might mean that many
poor children would be deprived OF a
high school education, it was said.
GilIisan's Statement.
"The actual reason for the defeat of
the measure should be laid at the feet
of Senator Heflin of Alabama" Mr.. Gill
ligan read from the report.
In his great zeal to force vote on
his amendments. designed to prevent
the teaching of anything in our public |
schools contrary to the American doc |
trine of separation of church and
State it was impossible to secure con- |
sideration Of the bill by the Senate. |
The chairman of this committee plead |
ed with the Senator not to allow the |
defeat of the bill by the insistence upon |
his amendments. and called his atten- |
ton to the fact that such insistence |
would result in depriving many poor |
boys and girls of the District of Co.
lumbia of high school education. The |
chairman also urged the Senator to give |
him one example OF any such I'M
American teaching in our schools at the !
present, promising to bring such exam
pie to the attention of the board at
ing. The people of the District of CO.
lumbia may properly lay the blame for |
the defeat of the bill on Senator Heflin.'
Headed by Robert Williams of the
Mckinley High School Parent-Teacher |
Association, the group of parents which
appeared before the board yesterday

the books should not be furnished to

the books teach nothing contrary to the
doctrine of separation Of church and

Saying that he was in favor of free
