Marylyn left the farther window

LABOR DAY.

Today is day set apart by labor
to preserve the dignity Of labor, ere
ate loyalty to its interests and pur-
POSES, and spread an informed und-
outstanding Of it's Importance and
strength throughout the country. 1t
is good. to have a day set apart for
this purpose All of the things at
which We gaze with admiration
are the results of labor and toll The
bridge which spans streams and
unites shores of waters, the canals
which connect seas and join distant
lands in commerce, the monument
and all beautiful and material things
are the result of labor. The time
is fast approaching in American life
too, when labor will meet with its
jast dues in every way. In union
there is strength and the vast labor
organizations of America proves it.
We admire the man who builds with
his own hands and brains, the man
who sails ships on the sea, digs deep
into the bowels of the earth for
precious stones, and creates things
that are beautiful and useful. Let
Labor Day therefore be day of full
est praise for the great things which
labor has given us, AMI let us be
guided towards thinking of that fu-
ture where labor will be more equal
with existing conditions and men
viii work for the pleasure of labor,
rather than because of necessity.

law person who keeps his boy or
girl from school one day-whetheI
the first or at a latter date-is yio-
lating the law. and subject to a fine
OF not more than s25.
The attention OF employers is also
called 10 the fact that any corpora
ton, person or association OF per-
sons who shall employ any child be-
tween the ages of and - during
the hours which the public schools
Of that district are in session. is also
liable TO fine Of not to exceed s25
for each offense.
Under the Law and the knowledge
of conditions, believe that q sener-
al and widespread statement of this
Should be made. Both parents and
employers should see that the chill
dren should get excuses if they can
not be in school the first day and
every day. Tell your friends of this
and have them see me if they are in
terested.
/ believe the compulsory law is
right, but l need not defend it, The
law is on the statute books and we
must all abide by it till it is chang
ed. Just notice what it states: Any
superintendent, teacher, or attend
ance officer, who shall fail or refuse
to perform the duties prescribed by
this act shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof be fined not less than twenty
or more than one hundred dollars. y
Employers hiring children to pick
OF pack fruit after school starts
should inquire carefully as to the
childrens ages. and if they have
been excused from schol attendance
the blank | issue should be retained
by the employer during the time of
employment. as proof that the
employment was not contrary TO the
law. This excuse must be produced
whenever the attendance officer asks
for it.
+ In order to meet parents desiring
excuses for their children | will be

Supt. Brown Writes to Parents.
An open letter to parents

An open letter to parents
You are probably aware that
school opens week from Monday
Sept 9Th. Are YOU getting the chill
dren ready TO start the FIRST DAY?
I would urge this from the stand
point OF the educational advantage
A pupil who has a late start is han3i
capped all the way as the class sis
likely TO stay just a neck ahead.
Many a pupil has become discourag
ed and failed TO do good WORK just
because his parents thought that the
third day or the second week was az
good a time TO start him as the first
day.
There is a legal side 10 the matter
too. The compulsory attendance law
requires the attendance of the pupil
for the full time which school is n
session, II between the ages of eight
and fifteen. unless he has completed
the work of the eighth grade, is
mentally or physically unfit TO at
tend school. or has been excused by
the superintendent for some other
reason.
The law states very plainly that
the city superintendent may excuse
children from school attendance. At.
torney Grass has held in several
cases that have come into court, that
the excuse must be granted before
the offense of absence. and shall be
secured even by those who are APP
parently exempt For example. boy
of II years may have completed the
work of the eighth grade. He should
before school opens, be excused from
attendance, or he is still liable for
non-attendance. The same holds
good win thot, who may be in poor
health. for those who may be receiv-
ing home training by a private
teacher. for those who attend pri-
vate school, or any others apparently
exempt.
Do you think your boy or girl
rant start the first day of school?
,'hen come and zee me before school
begins. Don't wait till it is too late.
am not making any promises that
! will excuse any from attendance
But on the other hand | will consid-
er the conditions, and if | believe
it is right. ] shall grant an excuse

Saving the Watersheds.

As the country grows We are more

Elent To rehlrcsf the headwaters of the
Ohio river is not local affair. The
wafer actually nouriShes the soil OF

many more.
The protection of the woods as 'shei-
ter for water is nowhere a local ques-
ton. The devastation by flood ana

Ureds Of miles and involves all manner

In saving its forest is a boon to the ma
ton at large. We know from eXpe-
rience what we only believe on theory
