Our State Supreme Court de

District No. SOC on June 9, 1949
The case involved the question OF
whether the public school district
may provide free transportation
to children attending a parochial
school.
Children of the plaintiff lived
near Sumas, Washington and at
tended parochial school known
as Sumas Christian School which
was located about 2 miles from
their home. This school taught
the regular public school courses
to the children attending it, and,
in addition taught them the re-
ligious principles of the Christian
Reformed Faith. The public school
bus regularly passed these on their
way to this parochial school and
the question at issue was whether

There was a conflict in the law.
One law, passed in 1945, stated
that "all children attending school
in accordance with the laws relat-
ing to compulsory attendance in
the State of Washington shall be
entitled to use the transportation
facilities provided by the school
district in which they reside"
However, Article I, Section II
of the State Constitution provides
that mo public money or proper
ty shall be appropriated for or
applied to any religious worship.

support of any religious establish

The Supreme Court held, in
6 to 2 decision, that the State

schools established for religion

schools established for religious
purposes. By the same reasoning.
it cannot, and does not, encour-
age their existence or formation
by direct public subsidy.
The decision was clear. The pub

up or transport children going to
