AS to compulsory education In Ger
many, the police officers of the commune
keep a list Of all the children who hay,
arrived at school age. This list is put int
the hands of the school board, which nov
become responsible for the attendance o
all those marked in the register. The
master of the school prepares, periodical,
a list OF %absentees who are "unexcused,'
ana IL then becomes the duty of the boart
TO call upon the parents or guardians of the
child and admonish them, If the ofrensC
is repeated, the name of the child is com
municated to the police, and the offending
parent Is mulcted in a small fine for eacl
days absence, non.payment being followed
by Imprisonment. In Berlin and othe,
towns where the School Board has more
real control over the school, a committed
OF the board assesses and collects the fine
subject to the right of appeal by the delin
quent to the magistrate. In Wurtemberg
the u%nexcused absences are rare, and ii
SaXony hardly a child, we are told, is over
looked. Here, the days the child is absent
from school are recorded, and have to b,
made good under pain of the refusal of tn,
rue OF confirmation at the expiration 0
the eight years term of schooling.
