A Truant's School.


The state law provided that children
must be in school, yet bad boys are
suspended as was the case of young
Walch and the board discussed the
question of changing the local school
laws, or establishing a truant's school
for children who are in line for sus-
pension.
A boy who demoralizes a whole room
is not wanted and in Keokuk such boys
are suspended. But here comes the
state law which says that this boy
is of school age and must be in
school, This causes a conflict, the only
way of Strengthening it out, being the
establishing of a truant's school with
man teacher who can keep the boys
straight
The board voted to pay the teachers
and janitors before the holiday vaca-
ton.
Sweet cider. grape juice and ginger
snaps were passed around by Secretary
Barr, it being his terat to the school
board which very seldom meets with
