COMPULSORY EDUCATION AND SEPARATE SCHOOLS A QUESTION OF VITAL INTEREST JUST NOW TO PEOPLE OF THIS GREAT NATION. ___ (By Ku\ 1'. V itre!!, in Fork's weekly, 'i' ie Dearborn Independent.) "Unless I am utterly mistaken," said Edgar M. Cull en, the retired chief of justice of the Court of Appeals of New York, "there is a strong tendency in courts, in legisiatui^-a, and, worst of all, in the people themselves, to disregard the most fundamental principles of personal rights. "Judicial decisions are made, statutes are enacted, and doctrines are publicly advocated which, when I was young, would have shocked the people to the last degree. In those days liberty was deemed the light of the citizen, to live and to act as he thought best, so long as his conduct did not invade a like" right on the part of others. . "It has been said that the great misfortune of the day is the mar for regulating all human conduct by statute, from responsibility for which few are exempt; for those who resent, as paternalism or socialism, legislative interference with their own affairs are often most persistent ia tl\e attempt tq regulate the conduct of others. That there has been of late years a reaction from the ' ' vjka faith in individualism wnicn was w most uriversal in free countries in the middle of the last century is certain." _ True words are these . Parliaments and legislative assemblies are now generally expected to furnish a panacea for almost evehy moral and physical ill; and our own land is not immune from this "mania" that would sweep the world. In certain states today there is being agitated a certain issue which is fraught with unwholesome excitement, distress and danger?it is usually called "Compulsory Education" propaganda. But the real issue involved is, where shall the children receive their education ? Wp heartily endorse compulsory education. For its own well-being and security, the slate has a right to demand that all children within its borders be accoroed the privilege of a modern education. We maintain that the state is wholly within its just prerogative when it sets certain standards in education, when it requires a stated degree of proficiency in the teaching force, and when it insures that adequate facilities be provided for the health and development of the pupils. But when it prohibits a parent placing his children in a private or church school, which fulfils all of the state's wise educational requirements, then the state clearly transcends its sphere, and violates the liberty of its citizens. This propaganda is not confined to specific localities, for the proponents of the measure regard their present activities as merely preliminary to a crusade which shall sweep the entire nation and eventually place this Umcioiinn nruin thp federal statue I ivgiowiwt* ?..? books. Nor would their efforts necessarily terminate here. Should they destroy the system of church and private schools, a logical continuance of the crusade would bring them into the same antagonism to the secondary Christian school and college, to effect the complete secularization of all such ir. these United States. In ancient Sparta, as will be remembered, children were considered the prjperty of the state. At the age of seven, the youth were committed to the charge of public officers who aimed to develop "a nation of soldiers who snouia aespise tun and danger and prefer death to military dishonor." In like manner, prior to the Great War, Prussianism required all children in the grammar grades throughout Germany to attend the public schools?none others then being permitted to operate. In Bolshevist Russia all education is under the arbitrary and absolute control of the state, in order that the Lenine and Trotsky ideals of paternalism, communism, and atheism may be effectually instilled. With their plans and program, the proposed legislation would hermoniously accord; but do we desire to Prussianize or Russianize the public school system rvt 'Ami.riM' Three centuries ago our forefathers chated beneath the oppressive and arbitrary yoke of the Old World regime, to escape which they braved the hardships, the privations, and the dangers of the American wilderness. At length, to sever completely the chains that bound them, they waged a desperate warfare; they were victorious; and in their new-found freedom established "a church without a pope and a state without a king." Symbolizing this, on the reverse side of the great seal of the United States they engraved the inscription?Novus Ordo Seclorum?meaning "A New Order of Things." In colonial days, the school wsere established and maintained by the churches, and the stalwart builders lr of the new republic were the prod- si uct of those Christian colleges. A ta correct view of things civil and le- tl; ligious was maintained. Even in our w own day, statistics give approximate- tr ly 500 christian colleges in America, m and further show that a very large o\ majority of the prominent men 01 our land .received their collegiate g< training in sectarian institutions. a? "England and America," in the h; words of another, "use education to w establish and defend the ideals of lib- in erty, justice, and righteousness;" and vi in harmony with this policy, a sys- cc Item of public instruction has been r,,,,. nf whirh evei"V re , UOCiVpeu lit VU1 ?V?.U V. ..... ^ red-blooded American is justly proud, ee Public, rivate and sectarian schools R are equally protected under the Con- ? stitution, which, according to the language penned in the Preamble by the 11 fathers, was ordained to "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." "For a hundred yeqjs we have pin- 2ned our faith to two improving agen- a' cie.v in this country: education ana e< a rising economic status. n) "We have said that we can. take w the low-grade stock of Kurope and j'1 teach it three years of Latin, spherical trigonometry, a year of physics, j] a modern language, some United ? States history, and Longfellow's epics, and make it fit for self-governing democracy; if only you give it modem plumMlrg, fresh air, motor cars, ui o Iivino* \wiire and a helDine hand. ^ M ? ? r o ^ "But these things ?re not working. ^ The motor car bandits, grafters, thugs, i< city hall bosses, and municipal ty- d? rants of various sorts, all live in the pink-cotton and tinfoil environment to which we have pinned our faith. w Indeed, most of thase rascals have a< been educated through our taxes, and so taught to undo us. "Education and environment will d< help, but they will not cure. For we 11 are missing something somewhere." ~ Mr. White emphasizes the generally accepted scientific truth that acquired characters ate not transmit- < ted to offspring, and that only natural characteristics, bom with the p individual are in turn passed oh to the succeeding generation. He continues: "We are taxing ourselves by the ^ million to teach the children absolutely nothing that will help them in their relation to the state. Does the aver- si age high school graduate know more jjjj than an idiot about practical civic f( morality, as we of the last century ? like to imagine that we knew civic C morality? We keep feeding our be- ^ loved progeny educational folderol ^ and fudge, and wonder why our chil- t3 dren have no stamina, why they are morally undernourished." j? The things we are "missing" in our gj modern curriculum is moral stamina c< and the stabilizing influence of re- oi ligion. The family altar in the Amer- j? ican home is fast becoming antique; l the church concerns itself principally K with adults, not with children; and oi in one brief hour once in seven days, ?j the Sunday school cannot be expect- 3 ed to build sufficient moral and spirit- ai ual fiber to compensate for the re I maining portion of- the entire week. So well qualified and authority as g the United States Commissioner of 1] Education, the Honorable Philander "" P. Claxton, in a lecture dealing with ' this question, spoke as follows: "I believe in the public school sys- i tem. It has been the salvation ol our democracy, but the private schools g and colleges have been the salvation of the public schools. These private institutions have their place in our educational system. They prevent it g becoming autocratic and arbitrary, and encourage its growth along new lines." Again he said: "In this country we have, and 1 hope we shall continue to have, sepa- ^ ration of church and state. It is not hi the prerogative of the public schools al to impart religious teaching under ^ our system of government. I take it for granted that no one here would he *. /tAimfmno nf C( warn, wuat svmc vuici kvuutnv? v? the past ages had. The object of our public schools is to make good ^ citizens for the state. It is the bus- in iness of the churches to teach re- lo ligion." tr o- in What One Farmer Says About Good Roads. sh ar "Roads are of such importance that they may be compared to our lives; ecj they are both good and bad; they are M smooth, even, level, wide and full; fic they are hilly, narrow and winding; ^ dangerous, shadowy and bright; and se they show the effects of environment he and care, even as we. They are the in means of life, for over them passes 1S. the food which must keep the peopie of the cities alive. ac "Without roads cities could not suv- tw vive, and countryfolk would be without many of the present necessities, C comforts and luxuries of life, which W they are now able to enjoy. They are the connecting link between the city business man, the manufacturer ja and the farmer, dairyman, the pro- so ducer of food. They alone make it possible for both country and city ^ to live up to our present standard of ^ ring and they will be largely re>onsible for any rise which may ike place in that standard. Who, ion. can place a \aiue on loads, and ho is great enough to say what their uc service to mankind is? Can any an picture a country of a land withit roads? "A good man sets an example: a 3 id road is likewise an example; and ; we have too few good men. so ive e too few good roads. Only hen we find a travelable road goig past every farm, through every llage and city, will it be time to iase talking good roads."
