We APPRECIATE the IdahoSchool Law

There is nothing that can have a
greater influence as factor In the
country's progress than that of the
public school system This fact is
not overlooked by the legislative
bodies of the state; nor has the fact
been forgotten that its potency, as
such, will be in direct proportion to
the efficiency Of the system wrought
out.
We believe 1t hard to conceive of
greater boon to the people than
that which will result from the en-
forcement of the compulsory school
law. Already, its effect Is SO crafty
ing that we can hope for condition,
in the course of few years, in which
really ignorant young person will
be a rarity indeed
Grateful are we for a law that
says to the young, whether your con-
duct is good or bad, there is a place
for you to receive instruction.
good, here is the place for you; If
bad, you will be cared for over there.
This law takes a very strenuous
burden from the shoulders of the
teacher, from the mere fact that
most pupils have too much self-re-
spect and prize the respect of their
fellows too highly to care about at
tending the school just referred to
ais 1.-The one over there" And this
Is not all. That burden Is not neces-
sarily thrown from the shoulders of
the teacher to those of the parent,
unless the latter wishes to seize 1t;
but 1t is placed where 1t properly be-
longs-with the pupil--and he must
assume the responsibility of his own
conduct. However, If parent
wishes to become very much re-
sponsible party, let him give out in
,timations before the child that the
law is a poor one and ought not to
| be enforced, and more than likely
he can say, sooner or later, u was
| the cause of his going there.
In case of child being suspend
ed from school, he WILL in all prob
ability, make every effort to get back
in good standing, lest, by his own
absence, he will have to pay the fine,
or, endeavoring to squirm out of It,
makes the excuse that the teacher
sent him home, forcing the decision
that he is a juvenile disorderly per,
son-anon.
