Why not You? M. C. LEWITT JEWELER AND DIAMOND DEALER 295 MAIN STREET the | DIES IN BERLIN. Reweds Divorced Wife | OREGON SCHOOL LAW 15 ARGUED Compulsory Education Statute Belore Supreme Court Washington, March 16, = The compulsory education law of Oregon i { requiring that after September of i next year all children between the ages of elght and sixteen, with a few exceptions, shall attend public schools, was reach in the supreme court today for oral argument in two cases brought by the state to have set aside the injunction of the fed- eral district court against its en- forcement, 4 Although it was thought the cases might not bring a sweeping opinion from the court on the constitutional | right of states to control the educa- tion of children within their borders the controversy has attracted wide attention in educational and religi- ous circles. The array of counsel brought into court included former | Senator George E. Chamberlain, W. 8. Moore, A. H. Putney and P. Q.| Nyce for the state; Willlam D. Guth- rie for the soclety of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, and John C, Veach for the Hill Military academy. In argument prepared for today | counsel for the state pointed out that in the lower court the challenge of the law was based upon the! charter rights of schools incorpor- | ated by the state. Contending that | the injunction had been based largely upon the assumption that the property rights of the parochial and private schools granted by the state would be impaired by the require- ment that children should attend publlc schools they took the position that the court in declaring the issue should ignore the investments of private schools, holding that any loss which might result from the exer- cise of a proper governmental func- tion by the state did not constitute !an unlawful taking of property. Counsel for the appellees, on the i other hand, based their argument on the contention that the new school law violated the natural rights of | liberty and property secured by the constitution; that it amounted to a denial of the rights of those follow- ing the useful occupation of con- ducting a school, violated parental control over children, and exceeded the police power of the state. There was a oontractural right of those chartered by the state to conduct private schools, they further held, which the state could not take away. The real purpose of the new law was described by the attorneys for the private schools as one to de- stroy private primary schools in the state. Insisting that should this be | permitted, secondary schools, col- leges and universities could also be brought under state control, coun- sel for the schools contended this would mean that only those sub- jects could be taught and those theories agd doctrines expounded which the state approved. The Seventh Day Adventists and the Domestic and F zn Mission- ary society of the Protestant Episco- pal church, as friends of the court, filed briefs attacking the school law.

London, March 16.—Reports fromn Washington of President Coolidge's readiness to call a new disarmament | conference are given prominence by many of the London papers, which | were already on record as being it the hearty concurrence with the offi | {idea. It is well known that the I British government would welcome | such discussion, and the matter, 1t is understood, is to be dealt with by IForeign Secretary Chamberlain and Premier Herrfot in their conversa- | tion at Paris today.

Such is the semi-officiul French opinion concerning the proposed d "ma- ment conference in. Washington, The government has received only echoes of Saturday's intimations from the White House on the sub- ject and prefers to wait for an invi- tation Lefore committing itself, but Premi rriot's close collaborators say | thing to be done is to mak: reatened natlons safe. Th e of Nations security protocoi, iu spite of the blow given it at Geneva last week, is the main reliance of France for the moment, The government will bend all effort toward resuscitating it at the tember meeting of the league as- sembly, in the meantinme consider- ing any proposal for a regional pact which appears likely to tranquilize Furope. If either a general or par- tial pact is realized, then the French government will be ready to talk partial disarmament, The French view consequently is that a disarmament conference would have little chance of accom- plishing anything befors the Sep- tember meeoting of the league assem- bly. It is also pointed out that the po- litical instability in some of the European states such as Belgium, where elections are being held this spring with a probable change of government thereafter, makes it dif- ficult to estimate the changes of euch an important international meeting os President Coolidge ensisages. British View Soon, By The Assoclated Pre London, March 16.—-The British government has not yet been ih- formed by the Washington author- ities for Sir IEsme Howard, the British ambassador, of latest suggestion from fhe White House for a disarmament conference. It has been expected in official circles here, however, that concrete proposals would be forthcoming when Frank B. Kellogg assumed the of eecretar t of the conferences which Kellogg had with Austen Chamber- lain, the foreign secretary, before the retiring ambassador left Lon- don A new the proposal, if founded upon this unwritten understanding be- tween Secretary Kellogg and Mr Chamberlain will be welcomed b British officlals and given their ac- tive support, it is declared.
