“'must be conducted without public subvention; the Treasury stands aside from them.'”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““It may indeed be for the best interests of any community voluntarily to control the procreation of children, but the question before us is whether the statute covers efforts to proselytize in that or other causes. Of the purposes it defines ‘educational’ comes the closest, and when people organize to secure the more general acceptance of beliefs which they think beneficial to the community at large, it is common enough to say that the public must be ‘educated’ to their views. In a sense that is indeed true, but it would be a perversion to stretch the meaning of the statute to such cases ; they are indistinguishable from societies to promote or defeat prohibition, to adhere to the League of Nations, to increase the Navy, or any other of the many causes in which ardent persons engage.””
