COMPULSORY SCHOOL LAW.


It will be remembered that Senate
bill No. 1879, by c. E. Bush, became a
law for many counties in the state
and that Faulkner county is one of
the counties affected by the law. This
law became effective September /,
1909. AS there can be only one term
in the rural schools during the pres
ent school year, it is the duty of all
school officers to see that all parts of
the law are complied with during the
present winter term. 1t should come
within the interests of every teacher
to see that every child in the district
from the age of s to Is years is en-
rolled. and that said child attends
this term of school 1t is the duty
but we, as teachers, may aid our
boards by calling the attention of
said boards to any pupils who are
not enrolled. We are informed that
many schools are now being taught
without enrolling those who have
scarcely ever attended school Many
of these boys and girls are unable
to read or write. 1t is not necessary
for any argument to be given prov
ing that every boy and girl should
attend school We have come to be-
leve that the state should see that
every child should be sent to school
for the preservation of the individ-
ual and the state.
By careful investigation it will be
found that all the requirements of
the law are easily complied with and
that no parent or guardian can feel
that this is a burden to any one. 1--WE
have been informed that one able
bodied man, who had in his home an
orphan girl of about IA without no
former school opportunities, stated
that this girl must secure another
home if forced to attend school.) We
are glad that such now have some
school opportunities. Let every
school board and teacher note care
fully the provisions of this law and
then resolve to enforce the same in
Faulkner county. Forty-two states
and territories have compulsory
school laws.

PORTLAND JOINS IN FIGHT

Portland, Or, May o. Portland is
