Abstract

In November 1922, the state of Oregon passed the Compulsory Education Law, which required all children aged eight to sixteen to attend public school. This law was eventually overturned by the Supreme Court in June 1925. After the ruling, the National Catholic Welfare Conference took sole gratitude in the successful repeal of the law. Yet, the Conference forgot that without the help of the Knights of Columbus and Hill Military Academy the case might not have been filed for lack of funds. The Knights offered to finance the Archdiocese of Oregon City's legal fight before the NCWC had secured the necessary funds. The Knights/financing of the suit was crucial, making them vital benefactors in the case.
