THE SCHOOL BOARD
Getting Down TO Business Chill
dren Must Attend
THE LAW WILL BE ENFORCED

At recent meeting of the School
Board, it was decided that Monday,
September 18th, be the date of open
ing school this year.
The Board UNANIMOUSLY voted to
strictly enforce the Compulsory School
Law. Section 1921 A of this law pro-
vides-"That every parent, guardian or
other persons in the State of Kentucky,
having the control of any child or
children between the ages of seven and
fourteen years, shall be required to
send such child or children, annually at
least eight weeks of which attendance
shall be consecutive to some public or
private day or night school for children"
The penalty for failing to comply
with this law is forfeitive to the school
district by the parent, a sum not less
than five nor more than twenty dollars
for the first offense nor less than ten
nor more than fifty dollars for the
second and subsequent offenses.
The Board is determined that every
patron in the district shall comply with
this law, and hope they will not be re-
quired to prosecute any one for neglect
to do that which they should do without
the Intervention of the law.

Superintendent of visitation and the
Superintendent of superintendent will

convention will testify. The conven-

Secretaries l have had as district and
county president l can not recall a single
unpleasant incident. While these seven
years have brought responsibilities and

our county papers.

to the work and its Importance.
We hope to make the final report for
