children the required length OF time.
The Superior Judge shall haye the
power to summon any person or
guardian before him to answer why
he has not kept the children under his
care in school as provided in the law,
and any patron CT guardian falling to
show satisfactory cause for his re-
tusal or neglect shall be guilty of mis-
demeanor and fined in a sum not less
than ten nor more than twenty five
dollars Tor each offense, or the Super
Tor Judge may, if he sees fit, have
any child, if an orphan, who fails to
attend school the required time,
place that child in the hands of some
other person that will send him to
school or if the child be under the care
of parents, then the Superior Judge
shall have power to summon such
| child before him to determine whether
the child has attained 4 fair under
