NIGHT SCHOOLS
ARE NOT ENOUGH
State Superintendent of Public
institutions Says Children
Must Attend Day Time.
YEARLY TERMS 80 WEEKS
PUPILS BETWEEN AGES OF AND
16 YEARS AFFECTED.

According to an opinion given by A. c.
Nelson, state superintendent of public in
struction, attendance at night school does
not fulfill the requirements of the COM
pulsory education act of this state, and
such attendance at night school does not
relieve the residents of the state who are
Of school age from compulsory attend
ance at a regular school.
The opinion was requested by Superin-
tendent d. H. Christensen of the city
schools and is as follows:
D. H. Christensen, superintendent Of
Schools, City:
Dear Sir-Your communication of Oct.
S is received. In which you ask to be adj
VlSed as TO whether night school attend
ance satisfies the requirements of the
law relating to the compulsory attendance
OF children between and Is years of age
The law relating to the compulsory at
tendance OF children at a school in cities
or the first and second classes provides
that children between the ages of 8 and
10 years shall attend school at least thirty
weeks in each school year, ten weeks OF
which shall be consecutive. In the enact
ment of this law the legislature had in
contemplation the education of the child
as provided by the cities The law eX-
emptS the parent or guardian from the
responsibility of sending the child the re-
whenever it is shown to the satisfaction
of the board Of education that the child
is successfully pursuing the subjects pre-
scribed by the law for the same length of
time as children are required to be taught
in the district schools, or whenever it Is
satisfactorily shown that there exists GER
tain specified disability preventing the
child's attendance. That attendance at
night school does not fulfill the require
ments of the law is obvious from the
fact that it is practically impossible, and
grossly unjust if possible. for boy, aft
er completing his days labors to be re-
quired to pursue the studies OF the public
school curriculum until midnight or even
later. The law does not contemplate that
the boy shall be so burdered.
You are advised, therefore, that attend
ance at night school does not satisfy the
requirements of the law relating to the
compulsory attendance of children be-
tween the ages of 8 and 10 years. Yours
respectfully. A. G.. NELSON,
State Superintendent OF Public InstTuc-
ton

TACTICS ARE DANGEROUS
British Commons in No Mood to Be
Trifed With by House Of
Lords.

London Oct 31.-The house of lords
continues to make far-reaching changes
in the education bill, and in Liberal cir
cles the opinion is expressed that if the
opposition continues in its present spirit
the bill will hardly be recognized when
il returns to the house of commons.
Clause two of the bill was completed to-
night. after radical alterations, mostly
by large opposition majorities. There is
d distinct atmosphere of tension in the
upper house
The sittingS now present a brilliant and
imposing spectacle. and the house of
lords is so crowded that members of the
opposition occupy a considerable portion
of the government seats and the peereSSeS
throng their special galleries A number
of peers who have not been seen in the
house for many years are now regular
attendants.
1t apparently has been determined that
the ministry will not tamely submit to the
lords. This metemOrphOSiS was Indicated
by the president of the board of trade.
LLOYD George. who speaking at Spalding
tonight declared that the work of re
editing the bill would terminate in a way
probably far from agreeable to the house
of commons. A majority of the peers were
'endeavoring to establish the principle of
compulsory religion, to which the country
would not submit.
1t was absolutely intolerable, said Mr..
LLOYD George that the house of lords
should override the decisions of the peO-
pie at the last election, and the govern
ment was determined to Dersevere with
the bill The people had outgrown the
old system of catechismS and the old
teachings that they were to be humble
and lowly before their betterS. They
would no longer be content, the president
of the board of trade said in conclusion,
with lessons in class humility
