Présentation de l'éditeur
On the 28th day of A pril, 1890, a person styling himself a truant officer called on me and demanded a list of the pupils of St. Francis de Sales School, giving their names, residences, ages, etc. I refused. I was indicted for a violation of the Compulsory Education Law of the State of Ohio, arrested, imprisoned, and criminally prosecuted in the Court of Common Pleas. The case was carried to the Circuit Court, and thence to the Supreme Court of the State, and a decision rendered on the 10th day of May, a.d. 1892. A writer in the Edvxiationqil Beview for September, 1892, says: This Toledo case was argued and decided on broad constitutional grounds, and perhaps no decision more important to the future of all compulsory education legislation in this country has ever been rendered by an American court. E d. Bev. Henry Holt Co., New York, Sept. 1892.) As this matter of compulsory education affects every man, woman, and child in the country, a report of the most important decision with regard to it ever rendered by any American court must be a matter of very great interest to the American people. That report is now presented to the public. Before proceeding to the consideration of the case itself, it will be well to look a little at the legislation on the subject out of which this case arose.
