in the schools. This law provides that
each parent, guardian or other person
i'll the State of Nevada, having control
or charge of any child between the ages
of 3 ahd sixteen years, shall bc required
to send such child to public school
during the time in which q public
school shall be in session in the school
district in which such child resides. a
child shall he deemed u truant under
this act If absent three days, and the
absence of any part of Il day is con-
sidered the entire day. After notice of
the child's delinquency, the person who

In the elevator he was robbed of the

According tn these figures, out of Il

from 1904 to 1908. $3.50, or 81 per cent.

against forcign-b born criminals.
The i%llitcracy among the forcign.borr
whites in New York is 1870 per cent. OF
the total foreign-born population. 4
surprising feature in this connection
is found i'll the fact that there is no

EDrroR \

EDlIOh NDEsIEANbESNls
Assembly bill No. %, more familiarly
known us "The Embalmers Bill has
been looked upon with some degree of
suspicion. 1t has been charged, by
persons not familiar with the purport
of the bill, that it vas instituted for
the purpose of forming u trust, and that
graft was the object of it.
For the benefit of those those who
think thus, rs well rs for the general
public, we wish to correct this CHROME
Gus impression.
Four years ago, it was Il privilege
TO draft the first enbalmers' bill ever
submitted to the Nevada Legislature;
which was introduced in the lower
house. by Assemblyman c. d. Hender-
son from Elko county. 1t failed of pass
age. Two years ago my worthy col
league (Mr. T. F. Dunn of Goldfeldl
and l framed n similar bill. which was
introduced and in turn met the same
fate.
Last fall. we made a third bill, which
was introduced in the recent Legislature.
This bill was substituted by u bill said
to be taken from the Indiana license
law. 1t passed. both houses, was signed
by the Governor. and is now Il law.
Every state in the union, except, per
haps, two or three, has n similar license
law.
The object of this law ought to sug.
gest itself. Not one idea of forming q
trust or graft. was ever considered. On
the contrary, IL aim i'll having this
law was, and is, that those who prac-
tice the art of embalming dead human
bodies. shall he required by law. to hn-
.--~.5u III InlS science
to enable them to properly cmbalm and
disipfect such dead bodies, MS will rend-
er them safe, for transportation into
other states, without danger of spread
ing the disease of which such person
may have died, whether it was of con-
taSious or infectious nature or not, and
to raise the standard of the profession
in Nevada, to ut least tho level with
those of other states having such n law.
To the charge of forming Il trust or
graft, we plead, not guilty. The charge
that "all undertakers are robbers we
emphatically deny.
Very respectfully,
J L. KEYSER.
