Result Of Compulsory Education Law.

At a meeting Of the State Board oil
Education last Friday, presided over by
Governor Lea, a remarkable report of the
good results of compulsory education in
this State for the first year of its enforce
ment was presented by Professor John d.
Brooks, superintendent of Sussex county.
The superintendent had sent out
printed questions to bis nearly 800 teach
ers all over Sussex to ascertain exactly
the result of enforced school attendance
throughout the year. The questions
were
ID During the period of its enforce
ment, about how many per cent, did it
increase attendance over previous years
(2) What has been your main diff
Guilty in enforcing the law?
(3) What changes or amendments
would you suggest in the law or in the
and methods of enforcing it ?ss
The replies TO the questions were rev.
elation to the educators In several els.
tricts the attendance at public schools
had increased as much as sixty per cent.
Only very few were as low as ten and
twelve. In other words, the compulsory
aw had drawn into a public school room
about twice as many pupils who would
otherwise never have learned anything |
lbOut the three RS.
The REPLIES to the second and third |
questions indicated that but little diff |
ulty had been experienced in enforcing |
he law, but that the appointment Of an
officer for each county would
make 1t still more etticacious.
