IRONTON, Mo-, November 9TH, 1886.
Ed. Register-I read with great interest
Mr.. vance's article in the REGISTER of the
4th inst, and appreciated very much the
spirit in which it was written and the good
intention of The author. l recommend what
he says in that article as being the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Yet,
[ am satisfied, from experience, that the
mere barren facts, andl the eloquent appeal
made in that article, fall upon the ears OF
the Indifferent parents as a sounding brass
and tinkling symbol; for you know that it
is said by the poet that
"Full many gem of the purest ray serene,
The deep, unfathomed caves of ocean bear,
Full MANY flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness upon the desert
air."
In the first place, majority Of those who
make such an article necessary, cannot be
reached through the press, neither can they
be prevailed upon to do better by personal
efforts on the part OF devoted teachers.
What shall we do then? Shall we quit dis
cussing the subject and setting forth the
facts through the pl ess, the rostrum and the
pulpit? Nay, but rather, let us keep on I'M
til a healthy public sentiment is created in
favor of compulsory school law, which
shall set forth not only the number of months
that each girl or boy, of the proper age, shall
attend school, bet also the number of hours
per day each shall attend school.
The enactment of a compulsory school law
by our State Legislature conceive to be the
best solutions for the following knot'v prob
lens which pi esent themselves in voice for
solution to every teachers Institute and
impede the progress and mar the success OF
each individual as he labors in vain for the
advancement of Johnny Jones, who is habit
ually tardy, or for Mary Smith, who is absent
foe more than five days during each month.
The knotty problems are these: "Non-At-
tendance" Nom Punctuality," and "1rreg-
ularity." A reasonable compulsory school
law with a respectable penalty attached for
| its violation would be more forcible argu-
ment than any that can be produced bv the
| most astute pedagogue in the state. Had we
such a law, the frivulOus excuses that we
have 10 accept now for non attendance, tar
diness and irregularity could not and would
not be received. have known children to
| be kept out of school two weeks, getting
ready for Christmas. I know now of several
cases where The parents can give no excuse
at all for Billy and Susan's absence from
school two and three days in a week, except
| that they do not want to come.
| The following states enforce compulsory
school law, viz: Kansas, Nebraska, Vermont
and Connecticut; why cannot Mis>oni do
| the same? II there be good reasons why
Missouri should, or should not, have COM
pulsorv school law, we would like to hear
the subject discussed through the REGISTER
or in debate by members OF the Ironton
Lecture Bureau. Yours,

Ed. Register-What is your opinion in re-
gard to sending little children to school as
early as half-past or 8 O'Clock, and finding
fault because the teacher does not sit up all
night in order to meet them? Do you not
think it would be good plan for the school
directors to have the grounds fenced, and
appropriate gates placed at the main entran-
ces, and then adopt some rules relative to
pupils entering the grounds and building?
No pupil should be allowed on the school
grounds, in the halls, or on the stairway,
before S:45 A. NJ. Pupils coming earlier than
this should remain outside. 1t is not a fact,
however, that any pupil suffering from cold
was not allowed to come in and warm; on
the contrary, during the cool mornings last
month, all small children and those complain
ing of cold were admitted to their rooms
soon as the teacher arrived. I hope when
the directors read this they will give it their
immediate attention as it is not right TO send
children to school so early, thereby exposing
them to the cold. But then should the board
of directors adopt some specific rules regu-
ating this matter, ga PARENT" would be
the 1iirst one to ask the teacher, as a special
favor, to violate them. am yours,
