No reason except Ill health and worry over
the operation of his 64o-acre farm can be
ascribed. While he was prosperous %financi-

BEATRICE-The Bead OF Supervisors Is
wrestling with the problem OF repairing the
bridges In Gage county with no none on
hand In tho bridge fund to do the work.
An emergency has been declared for the
repairs on the Court street bridge. Accord
ing to the opinion of the county attorney,
the board may let the annual contract for
count bridge repair work-not including
the construction OF new bridges-only on
condition that there Is any money on hand
In the bridge fund; otherwise Il would be
necessary to declare an emergency In the
case OF every bridge to be repaired, just
as was done with the Court street bridge.
From all appearances the hands of the
supervisors will remain tied as regards the
matter of repairing bridges until after the
levy is made early in July.

TO Be GOOD ATTENDANCE
IN The COUNTY SCHOOLS
W. B. Stewart, County Superintendent

County Superintendent of Schools
w. B. Stewart is kept busy these

of the year for the good of the dis
trictin the way of securing competent
teachers, and directing the various
needs of the district preparatory to
the year of school work to begin in
September. ..--.s 5r---z
Mr.. Stewart states that the Bel
trami county schools are making
rapid progress, and that the teachers
of the county are interested in their
work and this adds materially to the
attendance in all the districts
throughout the country, as children
become more interested in their
work and do not care to miss day
of school. s-~-
In speaking of the compulsory
educational law Mr.. Stewart says
this is to be more strictly enforced
than ever and it will bear good
results to both the district
and the child who is compelled to
attend school.
The law requires children
between the ages of 8 and IS to
attend school during the school
year in the country districts and
in cities the age is 8 to IS. The
only circumstances which excuse
them from attendance are the fol-
lowing as specified in the law:
CD That such parent, guardian
or other person having control is
not able by reason of poverty to
clothe such child.
(2) That such child's bodily or
mental condition is such as to
prevent his attendance at school
or application to study for the
period required.
CD That such child has already
completed the studies ordinarily re-
quired in the eighth grade; or
