SAYS CHILDREN MUST GO ID SCHOOL Compulsory Education Has Its
 Difficulties WEAKLEY FOR GOVERNOR Such Is the Political Dope Figured Out By Some Politicians at the State
 capital-The Liquor
 Law Ruling.
WEAKLEY FOR GOVERNOR

Montgomery, February S.-(Special.)- The compulsory education law of the cot ton mill statutes bids fair to stir up a lot of interesting questions. the set ting of which may bring about great good to the schools in many ways. Dr. c. F. Bush says that the law requiring eight weeks schooling for all children before they can work in cotton mills will be rigidly enforced. T. W. Pratt head of one of the large mills at Huntsville, says there are not enough schools In that county to meet the demands of the law, hence it cannot be obeyed.
 Such statement has aroused State Su- perintendent of Education H. C. Gunnels who has written the school authorities to know what is the trouble. He wants to know just how much short of the demands the schools are and how this deficiency can be remedied. It is est- mated that there are 600 children who work in mills in that county and it is argued that as the schools cannot give each of them eight weeks of school ing there must be violation of the law. Dr. Bush, who is the state mill and Jail inspector, has let it be known that there will be no compromise with the law.
 Another interesting feature of the sit uation is whether or not night schools are to be allowed to give the required terms. Montgomery is maintaining a night school system that Is giving the mill children an opportunity to get an education. There has been some doubt as to credits for this, it being out of the question for many of the children to get in time otherwise. It is thought that credit will be given in all cases where night schools are part of tile school system of the city or town and it may be that this will prove a so- lution of the troubles at Huntsville. At any rate both pr. Bush and MT. Gun nels are determined to see that every child between the ages of P and 16 goes eight weeks each year to school before it can work In a cotton mill
 There is much interest in this act in asmuch as it is the first law ever put on the books in Alabama for compul- sorry education. It is an experiment in a sense, preliminary to a general bill for enforced education which the friends of the schools hope to see passed at the next session of the legislature. There are many difficulties to be overcome, not the least of which is the fact that many of the parents will do everything they can to keep from complying with the law, not caring to be deprived of the results of the labor of their children even for so short time as eight weeks in a year.
