PARENTS, DUTIES TO SCHOOLS.

The following article from the

publican is SO thoroughly sound that
1t ii reproduced In full:
1t wal reported in yesterdays
Republican that steps would be taken
to punish parents Of truant school
pupils who fall to compel their chill
dren TO attend school. With this OBJ
jecl in view Judge Lindsey has issued
warrants for the arrest Of certain
parents Of this class, who will be tried
under a law OF the state authorizing
ueii prosecutions.
While this Is distinctly a step in
the right direction, the cases present.

CHRISTMAS AT
WHITE HOUSE
No Outsiders Will be With the
Presidents Family---Many
Presents for All

WASHINGTON, Dec. Pa glimpse of
the present Christmas in the White House
may be gained by consideration of the
observance of the great day there a year
ago. They have said at the home of the
president that there is to be no change
in the program 1t can, therefore, be set
down that there is joyous family party
in prospect, with presents in abundance
for every member of the ing household.
No outsiders, not even intimate friends,
will be invited to share in the Ctlebra
ton over the bounty oil Santa Claus. Ii
will be as much a family affair as though
the Roosevelts lived on d farm, snow
bound and miles from any neighhor, in
stead Of mansion at which am army of
people feel free to call on any othel day.
There will be no Christmas tree The
presidents objection to that form of cele-
bration has never been made known. Some
folks have expressed the belief that it IS
because he does not approve OF the de-
struction of trees, but. it is only Il gross.
He has not discussed the subject. There
is also an absence of decorations in the
White House. There are some flowers
and Christmas green's, but nothing ike
an elaborate decoration of the house is
attempted That is because of a uesire
to avoid display and to have the oDserv-
anee of the day as simple and homeike az
