MUST
GO TO SCHOOL
Compulsory Educational Law
Now in Effect Through
out the State
FIVE MONTHS IS REQUIRED

Compulsory education is now in ef-
feet in Wilmington and throughout
the State. and all children between the
ages of seven tnd fourteen years are
required to attend school for FIVE
months continuously in each year, un-
less excused by the superintendents
or commissioners Of schools for ply
sical or mental or other urgent rea-
sons.
While the term of compulsory at
tendance is fixed at hve months in
each year in Wilmington and in each
district, the voters of any district have
the option of voting on the question
to determine whether the school term
shall be shorter. but in no case shall
it be less than three months. In most
districts the five months term for
compulsory attendance is to be en-
forced.
Superintendent George w. Twit-
myer, of the public schools, is vested
with teh enforcement of the new law
in Wilmington, and his jurisdiction
extends over the parochial and private
schools as well as the public schools.
There has been no hitch over the new
law de yet.
Il do not propose to arbitrary" says
Professor Twitmyer, "but if any par
ent or guardian neglects or refuses to
comply with the provisions of the law
it will be enforced in the spirit in
which it was enacted"
This is not the first experience of
Superintendent Twitmyer with COM
pulsory education. as such a law was
in effect in Bethlehem. Pa, for four
years that he was at the head Of the
schools there.
A fine not exceeding two dollars for
the first offense and a fine not exceed
ing five dollars for each subsequent
offense may be imposed upon any par
ent or guardian neglecting or refusing
to send any child between seven and
fourteen years to school, and in de-
fault of payment, Imprisonment from
two to five days may he ordered. A
similar fine may be imposed upon
school teachers or principals for fail
ing to comply with their part of the
law.
The city and county assessors in
November are required to turn over
to the Board of Education a list Of
all children between the ages Of seven
and fourteen years in their districts
and when these lists We're completed
the rounding uD Of children who dc
not attend school win begin in earn

million of dollars. This monument per-
petuates the memory of President Nc

tending the American Exposition.
Flags of England and America are en-
twined among the city decorations and
two Canadian regiments marched in the
parade that preceded the formal dedi-
cation Of the monument
The entire city was abaze with flags
and bunting. One of the prettiest spec
tacles was the release from the base
of the monument, one hour after the
ceremonies began, 1850 pure white pig
cons, emblematic of peace which Presi-
dent Mckinley always public advo-
Gated
The parade was splendid. At the
dedication services Bishop William d.
/ Walker prayed, after which Mayor
Adam spoke on the virtuse OF
the late President.
Past Commander Miller, of Cleveland
for the Spanish war veterans and De-
/ partment Commander Swift for the
Daughters of the Revolution made brief
addresses. Then Mrs. Truman C. Avery
pulled a cord and the flag drapings OF
the obelisk dropped exposing it &c
public view.
=. II. Butler presented the memorial
to the State and it was accepted by

not so good this year as formerly al
though Mr.. Smalley and D. ]. Rein
hardt had some good catches.
Mr. Reinhardt had hard LUCK one az
ternoon when his canoe captized. Ten
minutes later, after he had changed

NEW YORK. January 3.-Todays stock
market furnished few more features of in
terest than could have been found In yes
terdsy's transactions. The volume of busl-
ness was about the same scale that was
transacted yesterday, and the tone OF the
market was as poorly defined was the
case then. On the assumption that money
market conditions still constitute the domf-
mating influence in the speculation. there
was no reason why the dealings in securi-
ties should not have shown a better tone
than was manifested.
Renewal rates on standing loans were
fixed in the neighborhood of per cent,
and to all intents and purposes IA per cent
was the highest recorded quotation for
money on call. Only small amounts were
lent high as that figure. and the
tendency of the money market during the
remainder OF the day was sagging one.
The Bank of England's rate of discount
was left unchanged at per cent not
withstanding that in the open London
money market discount rates declined to
51s per cent
This is more than l per cent below the
high figures quoted last week. and would
appear to foreShadow an early reduction

count figures. The proportion of reserves
