For the fake of

ERE is one thing more important than great
cities and rich farms. It is, the American Spirit.
It is the spirit that threw off the shackles of
tyranny and gave birth to the Republic.
The Spirit of America is the Spirit of Liberty.
America without Liberty would not be America. at all.
The fou nders of this Repu blic recognized the impor-
tance of Libe rty when they laid the foundations; of our
present greatness.
The Costitution, of ..the, United States guarantees
re :onofSe hP esreiinan D C TOThis Freedom is now being challenged by an effort
to abol.ish all private and, church schools.
The School Amendment is contrary to the spirit of
America.

" I have often expressed
my sentiments that every
man conducting himself as
a-good citizen and being
accountable to God alone
for his. religious opinionl
ought to be protected in
worshipping the Deity ac-
cording to the dictates of
his own conscience."

If the School AndmJient passes:

For. one hundred and fifty years
American ideals have been well.
taught in public, private, and church
schools.
G reat Americans, like Thomas
Jeffer'son, Theodore Roosevelt and
Grover Cleveland, have been produced
by private and church schools. Other
great Americans have been. produced
by public schools.
Public anid private schools may well
continue to work side by side as in
/the past.
You Can 'trust the Parents!
The parents oif America may, be trusted t~
choose the right school for their children,
whether it be a public, private or church schoo.
Michigan has a high mstandard of Educa-
tion, and ALL schools are faithfully strivin
to meet it.
Unless the School Amnendment is defeated,
private and church. school will be abolished.
This would mean, inef Ittat our gream
American Democracy* no trusts the
parents to guide the cdtzi in of t'heLz
own children.

Roosevelt:
N "The good citizen will de-
/ marid liberty fur himself,
and as a miatter of pride he
wdi see to it that others ro-
ceive the liberty which he
thus clairn~s as his owni."
I-arding:
"Religious liberty has its
N unalterable place, along
/ vith civil and human
liberty, in the very fourida-
I 2tion of the Republic.
S/ Therein is shown the far-
seeing vision of the im-
mortal founders, and we
are a better people and a
better Republic because.
there is that freedom."

'the question is not Catholic, rLteao
Sectarian.' It' is American.
And then- there is another corsieration, too. if
this Amendment passes, t axe nil go up millions of

That is what- it would cost the Michigan

Why should the taxpayer assume'a bur-
