oregon SCHOOL LAW
HELD TO Be INVALID
Supreme Court Declares State
Cannot Discriminate Against
Private Schools.

Washington, d. C.-Oregon lost in
the supreme court it's fight to compel
children to attend public schools.
The Oregon compulsory education
law, requiring children between the
ages of Sand 16 to attend public
schools, was declared invalid,
The court held that the states in
enforcing compulsory education laws
cannot require the attendance of chill
dren in public schools to the exclu-
sion of private or parochial schools.
In educational and religious circles
keener and wider interest was shown
in the attack upon the constitutional.
ity of the Oregon public school law
than in any other controversy which
reached the supreme court in recent
years.
Like most states, Oregon has a com
pulsory educational law which re-
quires children to attend school, aud
prescribes the course of study. The
right to enforce such regulations has
not been seriously questioned in the
courts. But in 1922 the voters of Ore
gon, went a step further, and enacted
law under which children between
the ages of and 16, with some eX.
ceptions, would after September, 1926
be required to attend public" schools
! Suits were PROMPTLY brought in the
federal district court by the Society Of
the Sisters of the Holy Names Of Jesus
and Mary, conducting parochial
schools, and by the Hill Military AGA.

UNITED STATES BUILDING ERA is
NOW GREATEST IN ITS HISTORY

America is now in the greatest
building era in all history according
to S. w. Straus, of New York, in a re-
cent address to the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate boards.
No nation in history ever dreamed
of such a building undertaking as
that in which the United States is
now engaged. Mr.. Straus declared,
and he predicted that the building rec
ord of $5,750,000,000 made in America
in 1924 will be exceeded in 1925, when
the six billion mark will be passed.
Mr.. Straus predicted that the present
prosperity in the building world will
continue indefinitely and be accompan-
iel by general prosperity in the United
States.
America" he said, "has become a
leader which now dominates, both in
methods of financing and methods of
executing huge development projects.
We are not only developing our own
type of buildings and improvements,
we are leading and teaching the rest
of the world in the arts and sciences
of building, in community planning
and civic development.
We have entered sweeping cycle
of rebuilding. Every city in the ma
ton today is confronted by the fact
that it must practically rebuild itself.
They already are doing it as rapidly
as the tools and implements of the
builder permit.
"In every American city there are
thousands upon thousands Of apart
ments, individual homes and tene-
ments which are obsolete. They
were erected only fifteen, twenty or
twenty-five years ago. Today they are
marked for demolition by the oncom-
ing progress. The basis for this pro-
gress is the ever advancing standard
of living in the United States. The
majority of the people are living in far
better homes today than they were a
score of years ago, and the next TWEEN
ty years will witness a still greater
improvement"
