Why Not Enact the Bennett Law Again
W Carey Heard in the Jefferson County Union argues for re-enacting the Bennett Law to require English instruction for children ages seven to fourteen, citing alarming illiteracy data from Secretary Lane. He claims 5.5 million adults illiterate in 1910 and urges action to stop this “cruelty to children” amid national weakness. He notes Wisconsin precedent and warns of future legal and civic consequences, calling for amendment if needed. The piece also digresses into a tangential commentary on dandelions, green consumption, and urban views of countryside flora.
