hung at 1t:2s for the murder Of Carrie Lar

a tremor. He made a short statement, IN
which he protested his innocence and ex-
pressed his confidence that his name would
be cleared of the crime attributed to him.
The body hung thirteen minutes Death

cook him a meal As she started to COM
ply Tocmbs stfAnsled her. mutilated her
body horribly and them compelled Keissis,
who wac an unwilling witness, to help bury
the body under the ice of the river.

the police, fearing for his own life, and
told the story which resulted In the recov-
cry Of the body Of the woman and Toombs'
conviction.

CHILDREN MUST GO TO SCHOOL
State superintendent Calls Attention
OF Board to the Rev
4t. Law.

The attention OF the Board Of Education
Of this city has been called to the compul-
sorry education law which was enacted By
the last legislature in a circular Of In
structions sent out BY Hon. r. @. Barrett.
state superintendent of public instruction.
In this circular positive instructions are
given to school directors and others In su-
thority to see that the law is faithfully
carried out.
So far the new law has not been dis
cunsed by the Board Of Education in open
meeting. but President Sargent stated yea
terday that SOME action would probably be
taken at the meeting Tuesday. August 10.
One Of the questions to be decided by the
board IL whether It will appoint q truant
~onicer. as provided BY the Law. President
Sargent saye It as his opinion that in order
to effectively enforce the law a truant Of
heer would have to be appointed for the
district.
AT the meeting OF the board on August
10 arrangements Will be made for the taking
Of the school census. This year In ad-
dition TO the usual duties the enumerators
will be required under the provisions OF
the new law to take a separate list Of all
children between the ages OF 7 and IA. this
being the class Of children to which the
new compulsory education law applies.
Under the new law parents or guardians
Of children between the ages Of Z and "a
years are required 20 send them to school
for At least twelve weeks out OF each year.
provided they do not reside more than
two miles from = school house. For every
violation o. this provision Of the law the
parent lor guardian u subject to q hne Of
from IS T. $40.
The Law provides that the board Of school
directors may at the annual meeting"
appoint one o. more truant ofncers who
shall serve for 6pe year. This ofieer may
BE- a eonatable or member Of the police
force. The board. Of Education OF this city
holds two What are called annual meet
ines each year. One In March and the
second IN September. II Il should be held
that the annual meeting OF the board is
the one held IN March. Il appears under
the law that the appointment OF Z truant
oncer could not then be made until next
ysar. but u tie September Session ia
legally an pnnpai meeting the appointment
can then be made next month shortly
after the new school year opens. This
question VII probably be referred to the
