Objections to the Plan.
Commissioner I‘lliiel'iif‘ili zsivu the
foilowingwolljecllons to the proposal
to have religious education Ill hours
taken from the regular school day
as has been proposed in this and
other communities:
is already shorter Ill. this than in
other civilized nations. The proposal
is an unconscious attempt to make
use of tlic colilpuisovy school at-
tendance law for religious purposes
and is therefore an approach to state
enforced religion. It is an attempt.
to do by indirection what its advo-
cates know would not be permitted

cause it would leave children whose
parents are not theologically inclined
to spend their time in school where
the normal instruction would be
broken up and disorganized because
of the absence of a large portion '6!

The plan would also work to the dis-
advantage of those children whose
parents belonged to small or poor
churches which could not afford to
provide the necessary equipment and
teachers for religious classes.
(3) It is another avenue for pro-
lpagandu in the public schools and
propaganda is an evil which all
school administrators have already

about Columbus because he was a
knight and the Masons want the
schools to teach nIlOlli Washington
because he was a Mason. The army
and navy want their propaganda
taught find the peace socieiics want
thclrs. The raisin growers want us
to have a raisin week in the schools
and once the Portland ccmont people
asked for “rat week" in which it
should be taught that rats carry dis-
casc and cause great damage and
that the. best way to discourage the
