SEND CHILDREN TO SCHOOL

The new Compulsory Education
Law, passed in June, 1907, provid es
that all children from the time they
are seven until they are fourteen
must attend a public, private or
parochial school regularly while
such schools are in session and
such attendance must be at least
six full school months or 120 days
during the school year in towns and
villages and eight months in cities.
Those between fourteen and sixteen
shall the same length of time unless
they are regularly employed at
home or elsewhere.
Regular attendance under this
law means twenty days in each
school month. The child who
attends twelve or fifteen days does
not comply with the law, makes
little PROCESS and binders other
pupils in the class from progress
ing, so all parents sending children
to school have reasons to be in
terested in this matter of regular
attendance.
The law requires each school
clerk to make three copies of the
school census, one of which shall
be sent to the county superintendent
and one delivered to the teacher
with the register when school opens
in the fall. This wasn't done last
fall because the state superintend-
ent didn't send out the proper
blanks but they will probably be
sent soon.
All children subject to the provis-
ions of this law must be enrolled in
a public, private or parochial school
within one month after the public
school opens in the fall hereafter.
The teachers in public and paroch-
1al schools shall report at the end
of the first school month after
school opens in the fall and as often
thereafter as blanks are sent to
them, giving names and ages of
children who are not complying
with the law together with the
names and addresses of parents or
guardians. Then these names are
handed to the truant ffioces who
are compelled to enforce the law.
The sheriff and the, deputy sheriffs
are now the truant ffiocers of the
county.
Instead of placing the names of
delinquent parents in the hands Of
the sheriff, l sent circular letters to
one hundred seventy of them whose
names had been reported to me,
quoting the law and requesting
them to send their children regular
ly the rest of the year. Several
who took a sensible view of the
matter wrote back and thanked
me for taking the course | did, a
few wrote rather spicy and some

AS WE GROW OLD
The Kidneys Need Constant
Help. River Falls People
Depend on Doan'S Kid
ney Pills.

The constant strain of busy life
Wears out the kidneys, and in later years
The kidneys cry for help.
Old backs will ache, day in, day OUT
Urinary ills will add their weight of woe,
Until the kidneys have the help they need
Aid the kidneys with Doan'S Kidney Pills.
Restore perfect filtering of the blood.
Cure the kidneys when they're sick.
River Falls people endorse this great remedy.
James Crowns, Cor. 3rd and
Cedar Sts., River Falls, Wis, says:
Il am getting along in years now
and my kidneys had been diseased
so long that l did not expect any
thing would cure them, but when l
think what Doan's Kidney Pills,
which l procured at r. S. Freeman
& Sons Drug Store, did for me l
almost consider it miracle. | was
feeling very badly with sharp twing-
ing pains in my back and my
head ached almost continually.
The kidney secretions were very
frequent and deposited dark sed-
iment. Doan's kidney Pills have
relieved me of all of these troubles
and l am glad to tell others about
it."

what uuT0dSOIldDlS lSlIGIS anu SOIuG
told what poor schools some of our
best teachers were teaching. Per-
haps few of the letters went where
they were not needed but / trust
that most of them were sent to
parents who have been negligent
about sending their children to
school
Names reported to me hereafter
will be placed in the sheriff's hand
as soon as I'm satisfied that they
are not complying with the law.
Don't blame TIE teachers for max
ing the reports required by law,
because if they fail to make the
reports correctly and at the proper
time, they are liable to the penalty
of having their certificates annulled.
Parents or guardians violating
the provisions of this law are sub
ject to a fine of five to fifty dollars
and costs, or by imprisonment in
the county Jail not to exceed three
months, or by both fine and i'm
prisonment.
Other ffiocials charged with the
enforcement of this law should be
praised instead of being blamed
for doing faithfully what the law
requires them to do. Why have
laws that are practically dead
letters? This is a much needed
law, passed by our Legislators after
due deliberation, and it is the duty
of every friend of education and
good government to put shoulder
to the wheel and speak a word in
favor of the proper enforcement of
the law whenever opportunity
offers.
If all of the boys and girls were
sent to school one hundred twenty
days or more each year for nine
school years, most of them could
finish the eighth grade and receive
a common school diploma. They
would then have sufficient education
to make them useful citizens.
In the following cases the Com
pulsory Attendance Law doesn't
apply:
(a) To any child not in proper
physical or mental condition to
attend school, who shall present
certificate of reputable
physician to that effect.
CD To any chil1 living more than
two miles from school by the near
est travelled highway.
(c) 10 any child who has complet-
ed the eighth grade and received a
common or graded school diploma.
Parents who have children COM
ing under any of the above classes,
should notify the teacher so that
they will not be reported to me as
not complying with the law. When
in doult as to whether your children
are obliged to attend or not, write
or consult the county superintend-
ent, but allow me to suggest that
parents send their children regular
ly for eight or nine months each year
because they wish them to receive a
good education and not because the
law compels them TO do SO.
Yours in the interests of all of
the children of Pierce County,
G. w. WELDON,
Co. Supt of Schools.
