Compulsory Attendance Law.

Compulsory Attendance Law.
Before adjournment the State
Teachers Association, in session
at Baton Rouge last week, adopt
ed the following resolution:
We recognize the need of q
compulsory attendance school
law In the state of Louisiana in
order to realize more nearly the
ultimate aim-Df public education,
the universal education of the
masses. and to bring under the
influence of the teacher a large
number of children of the State,
thereby increasing the pote' iality
of the schools diffusing ed, on,
and reducing iIliteracy i .ou-
isiana. We, therefore, stfDngly
endorse the movement OF the
New Orleans Educational Asso-
citation towards securing the
passage of compulsory attendance
school law at the coming session
Of the General Assembly.

and he yelled TO him. Five other BOYS
heard the yell and suspected that some

the six volunteered at once to go with

accept their services and save his nick

do You mean by carrying an old ladder

For about sixty seconds after that
the boys kept in fairly straight line
and four pedestrians were passed with

twisted around, and the front struck
an old man who was walking along

was more scared than hurt, but he
waved his cane around and shouted:
