The finding OF the Circuit Court in
the error case Of Emery P. Lockhart
vs.. James l.. Lockhart, which finding
was announced by the court here
Thursday. is Of much interest. These
brothers have been lswing since 1873
in an effort to make a settlement in
the affairs of co-partnership. In
February the Common Pleas Court
found 81. III. 46 to be due James l..
Locknsrt. To this interest for a period
of 10 years and months was added by
Judge John A Price. acting as special
master on the case. This made the
amount shown to be due James L.
from Emery p. Lockhart as $14. 133. 10.
The Circuit Court by its finding finds
81. III. 46 with interest for years and
2 months, dne James Lockhart and
thus cuts off interest for a period of 81
years and months. This means that
the court finds little more than s.,
613.7 "a due iIim from Emery.
Howenstine & Huston are attorneys
for Emery Lockhart and General Robt.
P. Kennedy is attorney for James L.
.ockhart, who, it is probable, viii
carry the case to the Supreme Court.

STATE HOUSE.
The Decrease in Names
School Attendance.
Lax Enforcement Of Truancy Laws in
Manufacturing Cities.
Farmers lrstitutes-Mr. Carleton at
Gray-Corporations.

One feature Of the annual report Of
State Superintendent of Schools Stet-
son for 1903, which was given to the
public a few days ago, has attracted
particular notice throughout the State.
This is the table wherein it is shown
that. although the number of young
people in the State of school age in
creased over the number of the pre-
vious year, the attendance in the
schools of the State show "a decrease.
Thus 1t appeared that there We're pa
725 persons in the State between the
ages OF four and y years in 1903, gain
u 1889 over the number in 1902, while
the total number registered in the COM
mon schools of Maine for 1908 was
132,41J, u loss of 1922 over the number
registered the previous year.
This decrease is accounted for by
State Superintendent Stetson by tn.
fact that the truancy law has of late
been less strictly enforced in the cities
and manufacturing villages, where cor
Norations offer employment to children.
\ glance through the tables of the re-
port shows that it is in such cities and
villages that there was Il decrease in
school attendance last year. Water
Vile. Biddeford. Lewiston, Auburn.
Sanford ana Madison were among the
places which show fewer pupils in the
schools in 1909 than in 1902, though in
each there WIS probably Il gain in pop
ulition and i'll the number of children
of school age. 1t is in such cities and
villages, and not in the country towns,
that the decrease in attendance is
shown by the returns. The remedy for
such Il condition of things is plain
There are truancy laws enough on the
statute books, but their enforcement
is getting more and more lax in the
places where enforcement is most need
cd.
IN the matter of enumerating those Of
school age in the State, it is interesting
to note that the enumeration includes
all persons between four and twenty
one years. which under the old law
were the age limits of attendance in
thc common schools. Since 1893. the
ages within which attendance ut the
common SChoolS has been allowed have
| been five and twcnty-onc years. and in
Ithc next enumeration which is made
this fact will be kept in mind, and for
the first time the cnumeratiOns of
scholars will be made consistent with
the ages OF those who can actually at
lend schools.
