Parochials

In Michigan, private and parochial schoolmasters were gratified. Last week, at the polls, Michigan voters defeated the proposed State Constitutional Amendment-- (TIME, Oct. 20) compelling all Michigan children "under the ninth grade and under 16" to attend the public schools--an amendment which would have shorn private and parochial schoolmasters of a round two-thirds of their patronage, In Oregon, other schoolmasters were similarly gratified. Oregon voters dealt in like fashion with a like amendment.

* Four years ago, the same amendment was vetoed by popular referendum.
