Compulsory Education Law

There are many inquiries con
corning the enforcement OF the com
pulsory attendance law. a few OF
them have been answered by the
State Superintendent rs follows:
|, The home instruction given IN
lieu of the school must be regular
and during the usual school hours
every day aud equivalent to the M
structiOn given in the school. :,
The court, not the teacher, school
clerk or truant officer, may excuse.
The court need not excuse chill.
drcn on account of their living two
and one-half miles from the school.
AbIc-bodied, healthy children go
further than that without consld.
eriug it hardship. 3, y child
may be excused by court II 1t
cannot procure proper clothing,
but not on account of inability to
buy books. The school board
must furnish books. 1t is hoped
that there will be n charitable or
gauization in every school district
to furnish clothing when neceS
sary. 4, 1t is the duty of the at.
tendance officer, or district clerk
in district not having attendance
officer, to prosecute parents who
fail to comply with the law after
notice has been given D, a par.
ent who thinks he has good and
sufficient excuse for not sending
his child to school should not wait
TO be notified. He should secure
written excuse from the court and
have it ready to present when mott.
fled. The law does not contem.
plate that the court wait for prose
cution. Secure excuse and stop
prosecution. 6, The attendance
law is not in conflict with See
97j4 which gives school boards
authority to suspend or expel pu
pills from school. When the con
duet of child is such as to de-.
moralizc the school he should be
sent to the State Reformatory. No
child should he turned out of
school for the slight infraction Of
rules.

Suppose Someone
Would Offer to
Give You a Dollar
for Nothing
Would You
Take it?

OF course you would. That
is practically just the offer
we make you. On every
purchase that you make here
during our great closing out
sale, we give you a straight
reduction of from IA to 1-3
off of the regular price of the
goods. That amounts to
giving you that much in
actual, cold, hard cash. In
the face of this FACT, can
you afford NOT to attend
this sale? You might think
because of our brisk selling
our stock did not afford suf-
ilclent variety to offer good
bargains. But veil guaran-
tee there is from one to one
hundred articles here that
you want, need, and in many
cases MUST have. Then
why not save on the price?
We believe your good judg-
mcnt will tell YOU this is the
place to spend your money
NOW.

In speaking Of the effect of the
order issued by President Roose-
welt that material and machinery
for the Panama canal must be pur.
chased in the markets of the world
that is, where they can he bought
the cheapest-A. j. Hollis, editor
of the American Manufacturer is
quoted MS saying:
THE alarm that we will loose any
contracts is needless. There are only
two projects needed by the Panama Ca
nal Commission to forward their work
which the foreigners have any chance OF
bidding on. These are the ships and
rails. The steel rail pool OF the United
States occupies a peculiar position with
the railroads. According to an estab-
liShed agreement the rail-pOol members
have agreed not to sell any rails i'll the
United Stetcs for less than S2S per ton,
II they do the purchasers Of rails may
demand a rebate per ton at the lowest
price the pool members have sold the
rails for, or they can cancel existing
contracts, which would be worse.
There have been about two million
tons of rails ordered TO date II the rail
pool can convince the American rail
road officials that the Panama Canal is
outside OF the United States and is not
considered to be in American territory,
there will be no foreign competition
keen enough to secure a contract for
single tou of rails
The meaning of this is, that the
steel trust, softly called pool" by
Mr.. Hollis, is robbing the railroad
corporations of the country in the
extension of their tracks and in
building new roads from rs 90 to
$40. 90 Il ton on every ton Of rails
they have to buy. The prohibi.
tive tariff on imported rails en-.
ables the steel trust to exact this
tirbnte of all railroads in the Uni
ted States; yet the steel trust will
send the same class of rails to
foreign countries, and after de.
Quoting freight sell them at prof
it in competition with the rail
manufacturers of foreign countries,
at their own door. Hence, if it is
established that the Panama canal
is outside of the United States, the
steel trust can sell rails for that
point in such keen competition
that no foreign manufactures could
secure a contract for single ton
of rails.
That is the way the Dingley tariff
helps the steel trust to rob the rail
road corporations. This increases
the cost of railroad building in the |
United States; the railroads, in
