Controversy Attracts Wide
Attention in Educational
- Circles
Briefs Filed by Both Sides
Give Arguments to be
Aired in Court
WASHINGTON, March 16. OP)
The compulsory edueutioo law of
Oregon, requiring that after Septem
ber of next year, all children between
the ages of 8 to 10 with a few ex
ceptions, shall attend public schools,
was reached in the supreme court to
day for oral argument in two cases
brought by the state to have set aside
the injunction ut the federal district
court ngninst its enforcement.
Although it was thought the eases
might not bring a sweeping opinion
from the court on the constitutional
right of states to control the educa
tion of childreu within their borders,
the controversy has attracted wide
atteutiou in educational aud religious
circles. The array of counsel brought
into court include Former Senator
(Jeorge E. Chamberlain; W.'S. Moorej
A, II. Pitney mid V. (J. Nyce for the
state; Wil iarn 1. (Jutlirie for the So
ciety of the Sisters of the Holy Name
of JcHiis and Mary and "John C.
Yen tch fnr the Hill Military academy.
State Gives View.
In argument prepared- for. today,
counsel for the stnte pointed out th.it
tn the tower court the challenge of tho
law was based upon the charter rights
of schools incorporated by the state.
Con lend ins that tho injunction has
been lascd largely upon the assump
tion that the property rights of the
parochial and private schools granted
by the state, would be impaired by
the requirement that children should

POHTLAXI), Ore., Mnrcll M
(Special) Portland resembled a de
serted city yesterday, when some 50,
000 people took the roads Icnd'ng to
the Troutdale bridge over the Snndy
river nnd indulged in the annual sport
of taking smelt from the stream.
The smelt were running heavy," and J
more people took jmrt in the sport j
than ever before in any single day. 1
For miles each way from Hi Trout
dale bridge there were Toes of park
ed cars, and only the careful efforts
of a doxen or so deputy sheriffs kept
the congestion from becoming unman
ageable. .Varied Nets Used
Clothes baskets, patched nets, gun
ny sacks, and anything else available
were used to catch and hold the fish.
The first day of the run was oppor
tune, fulling on Sunday, when most
of the people were free to join In
Hie sport.
Many' stood waist-deep in the
stream and dipped the wriggling,
squirming masses from the waler and
dumped their hauls into washtuhs
and boxes. Other groups formed
bucket brigfldrs and passed the per
groiindi to the shore.
Bird Cage Employed.
Kvery k'nd of receptacle was used
for lipping Hie fish from the river.

Demand for Words
Steadily Increases
In Past few Years
When will the demand equal the
supply ? The supply of words always
has been greater than Hie demand .
for ordinary usage, but of late the.
demand has been increasing rapidly
which is good news for Ihe lexir
grsphrs who like to have their prod
ucts put into use.
The late William M. I.affan of the
'w York Sun once said that he de
lighted in driving his readers tn the :
dictionary. He believed that looking
up word was a good habit. Hut even I
then there was less use for words,
and consequently less ne for di- j
tjonsries. tnsu St Ihe present time, j
The more extended use ol orus
calls for a greater use of the diction
arTand the one dictionary that
everybody should have is the New
J'nirersities Dictionary. If Ihe great
lexicographers of Ihe pset could
know of the demands for this new
volume, they would surely marvel
It.
