ARGUE COMPULSORY EDUCATION RESULTS Agitation Bringing Out Good
 and Bad Points THE LAWS ARE CODIFIED pr. B. F. Reilly of Birmingham Goes to Montgomery to Lecture-De
 Gather for Sunday School
 Convention
THE LAWS ARE CODIFIED

Montgomery, December 9.-(Special.)- j. Nearness of the coming sessions of the Alabama legislature, and the recently renewed agitation of compulsory educa- tion, have served the purpose of produc- ing a general discussion throughout the state as to what provisions should be made for those families which are de- pendent upon child labor for support and maintenance. In all previous legislation which seeks to compel attendance upon the public schools of the state the meas ures have been of the blanket" variety fully covering all classes of people with in a certain age. Now the agitation has arisen as to what steps should be taken to properly provide for the dependent families
 It is contended by those who know of the dire need in many of the cotton mill districts of Alabama that any measure which seeks to compel a child's attend ance upon school without at the same time providing benefits to be derived by the family will prove unpopular, and diff ficult of enforcement. What measure will be found to meet all needs, as con- sequence, is matter which is receiving the attention of sane thinking men throughout Alabama.
 One of the suggestions which has been made Is that the state make an appro- priation for the establishment of night schools in those cotton mill communities y here the children have to work to sup port an aged and infirm mother. It is argued that if legislation at the same time is passed which compels attendance upon the night schools when student cannot avail himself of day school, and which legislation also provides for em- ployment during the day not to exceed eight hours, the condition can be ma terally alleviated
 It is said that the experience of all workers in cotton mill districts is that most of the children who labor in the mills do s4 in order to save their families from the poorhouse hence there is a uni versal desire to save them as much humiliation as possible while at the same time giving them a careful supervision as can be had.
