A special meeting of the executive
committee of the Rutland Driving
Park association will be called imme-
dlately to take action in changing
the dates of the meeting. The dates
fixed are August IL, II and 10, but
1t is now found that th"se conflict
with the dates of the meeting of the
Northern New York associate
which were fixed before the Rutland
association took action. Many of
the horses entered in the Glens Falls
races would also be entered in the
races here, and it is necessary to
avoid a conflict of dates. As the
New York people made their arrange
ments first it rests with the Rutland
associatian to make a change, and
new dates will be decided on. 1t is
possible that the races at Rutland
VIII be held the first week in August,
the week before the Glens Falls races.
The third week in August would nat
urally be selected, but the Benning
Ton celebration comes then.

Enforce the Truant Laws.

| State Superintendent Palmer has
sent out circular letter to all town
superintendent of schools, in which
he calls attention to the very great
loss sustained by the state through
| failure to enforce the truant laws.
Last year he says there were 5000
| children in the state between the ages
OF eight and IA who did not attend
any school. There were g. COS en-
rolled IN the public schools, but the
average daily attendance was only
45,SS7. In other words, while the
law calls for 12O days of schooling,
and the people pay for this amount,
the number of days attendance for
each pupil was only 935. This
makes an absolute loss of nearly one
third of all the money paid out for
education, or more than 100000
annually. SO long ago as 1868 Su-
perintendent j. s. Adams showed
that the loss entailed by unnecessary
absence from school was enough to
pay the ordinary yearly expense of
maintaining the civil government of
the state. Today the case is no bet
ter, and the remedy is for superin-
tendents and school committees to
strictly enforce the truant laws. AS
the case now stands there is a gener-
al understanding that no one intends
dentOrce this law. In this fact lies
the secret of the whole trouble. 1t
h>s been found in Massachusetts and
Connecticut that a threat of prose-
cqtion brings 60 per cent of the tru-
ahts into the schools, while q mere
Interview makes a large percentage
IN difference. Mr. Palmer says in
conclusion, and the sentiment is one
to be cordially endorsed: at is
clearly the duty of the superintend-
eHts to strongly urge all the school
| committees to enforce the truant
laws, and, as a last resort, to pros
ecute in the courts mwPhGpiHi
