Van Winkle, a brief in support of its appeal from the decision of the federal district court of Oregon en joining enforcement of the compul sory education law. The litigation Is the first test tn renrh the supreme court on the richt of states to re quire the education of children in public schools. The law, which was adopted by rote of the people Xoreniber, lt)'J2, was attacked as unconstitutional by the Society of Sinters of the Holy Names of Jesus and .Mary and by the Hill Military academy. It proposed that children between the ages of 8 and 16 years must attend public school and prohibited their Instruc tion In parochial or private schools. The points made by the slain In fls appeal are that the fourteenth amendment to the constitution does not restrict the power of- stales to enact lawa necessary to promote the health, safety, peace, morals, educa tion and general welfare of the peo ple; that charters previously granted by the state to educational institu tions are subject lo annulment under the police powers of the state; that the stale may eiercise unlimited sup ervision over minora as to education, employment, etc., that tbe statute un der attack does not interfere with the religious liberty of ahj'one; that the American people have determined there shall be absolutely and unequi vocal separation of church ami state; that public schools shall be maintain ed and couduclerf free from influences in favor of any religious organisa SENATORS REJECT MAIL RATE PLAN WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.
