OREGON SCHOOL LAW MISQUOTED BY FOES

Puhlic Schools Must Be Attended During Term Private School Not Taboo

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. The OreRon school law, which may bo taken to court lor teat as to constitutionality, attracts much attention from national capital educators.

That the law is misquoted by its enemies, and not well understood by the general public, is contended by iln friends, who maintain that it will not, as charged, abolish the private school. r In support of this contention many quote the phrases of the law which state, not tlr.it a child may not attend a private school, but that parents or guardians must send children to the public school during its term. .Nothing is raid about not sending a child to a private school at other times. A further quotation showing that the private school is not eliminated by the law reads that "in the

following cases children shall not be required to attend public schools. I

Our New Address 2533 East Washington Street

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. Managing Director Meyer and Director Mondell of tho war finance corporation and a representative of the department of agriculture were directed by President Coolidge to start immediately for the central northwest to discuss with the wheat growers of that section the formation of co-operative

marketing associations which might avail themselves of government

funds under the new rural credits act. The war finance corporation officials and the department of agricul

ture representative will be charged with directing the formation of cooperative associations among the wheat growers similar to v those which have been ( pcrated successFully among the cotton planters and

tobacco growers of the south, ttre -aisin growers of California and the fruit raisers of the Pacific coast. Funds Would Bo Provided The plan of the administration contemplates that upon organization of these co-operative associations funds which will enable them to market the present wheat crop in an

orderly manner will be provided by the war finance corporation under

legislation enacted by the last Congress. . ' ' The itinerary of Mr. Meyer and his

party has not been worked out, but it was said at the White House visits would be made to Minnesota, the Dakotas and the other wheat-growing states of that section. It is not designed that one general organization be formed, but that the associations be representative of the various localities. Cabinet Continues Study Meantime the president and his

cabinet will continue to study the agricultural situation with a view to providing further remedial measures. Secretary Wallace still is at work on details of his recommendations for

reduction in freight rates and formation of an export corporation. The president met Thursday with the executive committee of the American Farm Bureau Federation for

additional consideration of the federa

tion's proposal that the war finance corporation accept the settlements

received by wheat growers from for

eign purchasers of their products.
