WASIIINCTON, Jan. 20 Oregon
todHy filed in the supreme court
through its attorney genernl, Innnc
II. 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
