EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
85 education in a country where these are deemed the sina qua nou of an abundant life. This is no ordinary lawsuit. The answer to the basic question before this Court will be a beacon to guide all governmental agencies and public servants in their relations with free schools, or it will become a precedent sanctioning interference and intrusion in the control of education, condemned with cold finality alike by the voice of experience and of general policy. It is not only Illinois and its great University which are in danger and have been forced by overpowering necessity to flee to this Court, even as to the very horns of the altar for protection. The decision in this cause will find its way into every series of leading cases; it will be analyzed and discussed in all the journals of law and education throughout the land; and men and women concerned with the preservation of free schools and free education will read it, and, as we confidently hope, bless this Court for staying a movement which history shows has always been a forerunner of abridgement of liberty of thought and expression. For the reasons indicated, we respectfully submit that the petition be granted and the writ ordered as for therein (Pet., pp. 44, 45). Respectfully submitted, BARNABAS F. SEARS, CHARLES F. SHORT, JR., Counsel for PctltionerSj 1107—30 N. LaSalle St ivt i Chicago, Illinois.
