The above petition contains seventy-one
names and Senator Ballongsr has rece-.
i7ed only two letters favorable to the
proposition. He was handed q petition
after the action of the committee.
which contained about thirty names
favorable to the proposition, but does
not consider it advisable 70 have the
bill recalled, since the opposition ap-
pears to be largely in the majority.

ton of one-third of the voters to the
County Board of Education, may have

that district or county; and if majority
Vote is cast for compulsory attendance"
The. law becomes effective requiring
avery child between the ages of eight
Ind fourteen years to sttend some
school sixteen weeks in the year, except
hose twelve years old, or upwards, who
are otherwise p~roftablY engaged. Tt
will not apply, either to the children of
family, who on account of peculiar re.
of fortune, r kept at home by
heir parents. 6upt. Joyner advocates
he bill and many teachers and educa-
think it ought to pass. but the
louise of Representative, while putting

which exclude many
'ounties from provisions of the original
I'LL. IL appears that a law embodying
many features of the one proposed will
