How is the compulsory school at
tendance law being enforced? The
law plainly makes it the duty Of the
school officers and teachers to see to it
that the provisions OF the law are car
ried out. We have asked for such a
law, and, now that we have it let us,
although it may not be perfect, make
the best of it. How often in the past
have we seen boys and girls walking
idly around, doing nothing of value.
Thus growing up in ignorance when
they should have been in school get
ting an education and preparing
themselves for the active duties OF
after life and the responsibilities OF
American citizenship. The state pro-
vides the means to educate its people,
then let it see to it that the children
receive as far as possible its full bene-
fit. w. ]. S.
