i Granite Falls Journal: According
to the report of the county superin.
tendent of Redwood county there
were 633 children of school age in that
county who did not attend school last
year. Just think of it. The compul
sorry school law should either be en-
forced or repealed. The parents o.
these children are not only acting very
unwisely toward them by not giving
them the schooling to which they arr
entitled, but they are cheating every
school district in the county out o.
some dollars each, for the reason tina,
the non-attendants do not draw pub
lie school money. We believe it woulc
be a good plan to have an amendment
to the law making it the duty of clerks
of school districts to notify parents
who neglect to send their children te
school that they have got to do so
This would make it somebody's duty
to call their personal attention to the
law
