THE COMPULSORY SCHOOL LAW
Read Il Before You Make any Objections
To the Actions of a Teacher

County Superintendent Bowersox
has issued a circular letter to school
district officers, in which he calls at
tention to the compulsory school law.
The Echo takes pleasure in quoting
this letter and recommends il 10 the
attention of teachers, pupils, and pa
rents:
You will notice that all children be-
tween the ages OF eight and fifteen are
required to be sent to school regularly
during the entire time school is in ses-
sion unless excused according to law,
and also all children between the ages
of fifteen and sixteen unless regularly
engaged in some useful and remuner-
ative occupation.
The law forbids the employment OF
all children under fifteen years Of age
during the hours in which school is
in session unless the child presents an
excuse from the proper school super
intendent.
Any parent, guardian or other per
son violating these provisions is liable
to fine.
The school boards in districts OF the
second class must appoint one or more
attendance officers annually. In other
districts, the county superintendent
must act as attendance officer, but he
may appoint assistants. 1t is the duty
Of these officers to enforce the law.
The school clerk at the beginning
of each school year shall provide the
teacher or principal with a copy Of the
last census, and every teacher is re-
quired to report to the proper attend
ance officer all cases OF truancy or in
corrigibility Immediately after the Of
tense is committed.
Note also that the county superin-
tendent shall require the clerk OF every
district to make report annually, veri-
fed by affadavit, stating whether or
not the provisions OF this compulsory
school act have been faithfully COM
piled with in his district.
Any clerk, superintendent, teacher,
or attendance officer is liable to
heavy fine for failure or refusal to
perform the duties prescribed by this
act.

The brush-eating instinct Of the
Angora goat is being successfully dem
onstrated on the Lassen National Forest
in California, where they are cutting
trails for fire guards through the brushy
areas on the slopes OF the mountains.
The animals, which number 5000,
have been divided into two bands, and
under the care OF the herders are grazed
within certain well-defned areas SO
that their work may be concentrated on
the brush within these limits. The
result is they have practically killed
nearly all the brush in the course,
either by eating it up or by barking, as
in the case Of heavy manzanita bushes.
At the beginning Of the experiment
there was some doubt as to the willing
ness OF the goats to eat the manzanita,
but it has been found that where there
is little else they will just as readily
attack it as any other bushes.
The grazing was SO late this year on
the Lassen forest the goats did not
begin operations until about the middle
OF June; but since then they have
made rapid progress, and the result
promises to be a success from every
point OF view. The trails will first be
opened and then kept free of sprouts
by the goats, saving the government
considerable labor in cutting them out
by hand, as has been done heretofore,
while the brushy forage which otherwise
would have been wasted will support
5000 goats comfortably.

Washington Leads as Conservation State
That the holding of the first conser-
vation congress Of the United States in
Seattle, August %, 81 and %, con-
gress made possible through the Wash
ington Conservation Association, will
place this commonwealth in the posi-
ton OF leading the volunteer conserva-
ton movement OF the country, is the
opinion of representative men Of the
Northwest who have followed the move.
ment since it was inaugurated by Pres
ident Roosevelt year ago at the White
House conference OF governors.
Ii now seems certain that during the
sessions Of the congress it will be de-
cided national conservation association
will be formed, and under the direction
OF this organization an annual congress
viii be held in different portions Of the
country. If such is the case, Washing
ton will be in position this month to
dictate the policy Of the proposed ma
tional body, and will fill many Of the
offices Of the interstate society.
1t is the desire OF the conservation
association to see as many Washing
tonians, whether they be delegates or
simply citizens who have the interests
of their state at heart, attend the con-
gess and participate in its work; and
TO this end a general invitation has
been extended TO the people Of the
state to go to Seattle and register at
the. headquarters Of the gathering al
the new Washington hotel prior to the
congress.
Sessions OF the congress will be held
in the auditorium at the A.-Y.-P. expo
sition. In order that delegates and
others attending the gathering may
be cared for and that the conservation
association may know how many vii
be present, in order to fttingly enter
tain them while in Seattle, it has beer
requested by the officers OF the organi
zation that those intending to partici
pate in the meetings communicate witt

SI.O0 Per Year
THE SCHIVELY INVESTIGATION
u Is Drawing Its Slow Length Along, Seem
ingiy Toward Vindioation

First blood for Mr.. Schively; also
first knock-down.
Such is the result Of the first round
Of the impeachment battle now on in
the state senate. The defense drew
blood when the senate sustained its
demurrer TO the first charge OF the
house impeachment committee.
This conclusion was not jumped al
but reached after two days Of strenuous
stormy oratory, in the form Of 81 TO
Is vote sustaining a ruling Of the
temporary president Senator Presby.
While there may be excellent rea-
sons for the senate view the bald fact
remains that the decision was reached
by vote almost exactly anti-adminis
tration VS.. administration, the names
OF Booth, Presby, Ruth and other op-
ponents of investigation being re-
corded in the vote for the demurrer,
while Brown, Poison, Cotterill and
other investigation" senators voted
against it
1t seems probable similar if not
identical lineup will prevail while the
trial drags its slow way to a vindica-
ton"
Notwithstanding his plea to be ex-
cused on account of prejudice against
Senator Booth voted for the
demurrer, which indicates that his ac-
ton was ''feeler' and that his ex-
cuse would at once have been followed
by the application Of enough more OF
equally implacable enemies Of the in
surance commissioner to have put the
senate out Of business.
The governors message has been
delayed by his attendance al the Spo-
kane irrigation congress, but is expec-
ted to be the event OF the week.
The governors message may open
the way for legislation and give the
house chance to get busy. Ii is not
that much will be recon-
mended along new lines, but that some
Of the most palpable OF last winters
will be pointed out for cor
rection.

the Round Trip

Chelan County Day falls in the first
week OF September. A special train
will leave Wepatchee on the morning
of September 8. Tickets will be on
sale September 2 and 3. 1t is expected

All who expect to take advantage of
these low rates should register their
names with the editor Of The Echo,
who has been appointed as one of the
Committee on Railroad Tickets for
Chelan Day at the A.-Y.-P. Exposition. "
A book will be left al The Echo
Office in which all who expect to take
advantage of the special rates should
register their names so that arrange
ments can be made TO accommodate
all who intend to go. This is for the
purpose of advising the railroad com
pany OF the number of cars that will be
needed so that the coaches will not be
crowded.
Wenatchee expects to send one
thousand excursionists. Leavenworth
should take the band and send at least
200. This will be a splendid oppor
tunity to do bit of advertising for the
town and the surrounding valley.

The Midway, which was big at
traction TO pleasure seekers last year at
the Spokane fair, is going to be a live
wire this year, September 20 10 25,
according to the list Of attractions
booked by the fair management. The
attentions Of the police Of Spokane to
undesirable characters for some weeks
previous to the fair, however, make
the Midway what the fair management
designed it-a place for innocent and
harmless amusement, with just the
spice that is given by clever spielers.
