tracing these diseases. This

School authorities are STRIVING
to enforce more vigorously than
ever the compulsory school law.
Recently In Philadelphia seven
men we're arrested and sentenced
to prison five days each because
they refused to pay the fines I'm
posed on them for not having
their children attend school as
the law requires. The state

every child at least a fair educa
ton, because 1t considers 1t ne
cessary that all should have some
learning to qualify them for the
business duties of life, and If par.
ents are too Indifferent about the
future welfare of their children.
