COMPULSORY SCHOOL
LAW NOW PROTESTED
Circumstances Require Wild
ow to Keep Children at
o Work to Aid Her

In their zeal for education the leg
islators OF the first session of the
legislature oyershot the
mark in the compulsory school at
tendance law in that il failed to pro
vide for a certain contingency or to
take into consideration that certain
might exist that would
Justify the keeping of children OF
compulsory school age from school.
Such a case has been brought to
the attention OF local officers and
the only solution appears TO be mere
ly to overlook the case. In this case
the parent, who is the widowed moth
er OF several children of school age,
notified the officers that she was i'll
and had no support other than her
children and put the authorities on
notice that she would keep them
from school and thereby keep the
family from starving.
Ottcers Investigate Case.
Officers investigated the case and
found the condition Of the family
was truthfully stated by the mother
and so far they have taken no &C
ton with reference 10 the violation
of the law. s..
The school law fails to provide for
such a case and in this instance the
letter of the law is being violated,
but TO enforce IL would work not only
a hardship but an inhumane act and
public opinion undoubtedly supports
the .'winking Of the eye" OF the
law in such a case.
The question had been brought up
before and had been asked OF School
Superintendent 20 IF. Philbrook but
lie mad no answer for il except that
the law made no exception of such
/ cases and that, apparently, it was up
20 local authorities to use their judg
ment and discretion, This is what
has been done in at least one case.
Children Must Go to School.
The law assumes that there are nc
! cases in which the keeping OF chill
dren from to 16 years of age from
| school is warranted and IL makes il
a misdemeanor for a parent to keel
child of such age from school, but
| the fact that such a case has arisen
/ within a month after the law went
| into effect SHOWS that the zeal of the
Legislators who drew up the law was
not accompanied by catholicism o.
understanding and it Is likely thai
the law viii be amended, restricting
its operation as to cases like the one
instanced.
The case in point, by the way, has
been placed in the hands of the char
ity committee of the board of trade
and way may be found to keel
the children In school without dis
comfort to the family. The famil!
is one that Is respected and the sur
viying family OF former official o

Man Power and Coal Power.

Does any one realize the power OF
coal as a worker? A man was set to
work to pump as hard as he could all
day, and at the end of ten hours It
was found that he had done just as
much work as little less than two
ounces of coal could do. Taking all
the energy put forth by hardwork-
ing man during one whole year. tho
same amount of force would be fur
nished by thirty-six pounds of good
coal, or say forty pounds of average
coal. OF course even in our best en-
glnes the greater part of the working
energy of coal is wasted. But even
IL only one-tenth is turned to account
one and half hundredweight of coal
is equal to man working 300 days
Of the year horse can do as much
work as ten men, but one and quar-
ter pounds Of coal have as much work.
ing force as horse expends In one
day. So that ton of coal, II we
could use all Its force, would do as
much work as six horses working for
a whole year.
