One evil of the present system,
which would be obviated by enforced
attendance, is the custom of children
coming in during the term, to the dis
may of the teacher and the disarrange-
ment of the classes. Superintendsnt
Somerville had found that whereas the
school population Of Augusta by the
census of 1905 was about 10000, the
attendance in the schools last jan
uary was about 1000. and In February
