DEFENDS STATE LAW ON PUBLIC SCHOOLS League Files Brief in Supreme Court Upholding Oregon Com- pulsory Statute. The Public School Defense League of Detroit has filed a brief in the Su- preme Court in the effort of Oregon to maintain its law requiring children between 8 and 16 years of age to at- tend public schools. Appearing as a friend of the court, the league declared that should the law be sustained a similar statute would be enacted by Michigan. It contended that unless the States could require children of school age to at- tend public schools, not only the schools but the States might be de- stroyed by private parties. If the Government could compel citi- zens to perform military service, the league insisted, States could require children to attend public schools *‘for the purpose of giving the education necessary to make them useful citi- zens and loyal defenders of the coun- try.” The brief criticizes “the doctrines and moral teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.” Argument in the case has been completed and it is now awaiting decision.

Arrived at the Rathaus, I found a taxi and ordered the man to drive to the German raflway station. There are two stations at Basel, one on the German railway system and the other on the Swiss, distant at opposite ends of the city and separated by the Rhine. T thought it inadvisable to BO straight to the hotel, where I had ar- ranged to meet Gaston and Rehmy. The Major, I knew, left nothing to chance, and not improbably he was having me followed, more particular- ly as I had refused the services of his accredited servant. Arrived at the railway station I dis- missed the taxi and made my way to the barrier of the platform for Han- over. Then, assumhg that I had given sufficlent evidence of my good faith, I doubled on my tracks and came again into the street, Outside there was not a vehicle to be had. I decided to walk, knowing that the hotel, which, it will be remembered, was Die Drei Konigen, was not very far away. I set off at a good pace and. cross- ing the bridge over the Rhine, had soon arrived at my destination. I entered the hotel and, to my great satisfaction, saw Gaston himself sit ting within view of the reception of- fice, busy with the evening papers.
