Should Attend.

superintendent of Schools, T. c.
Clendenen in an article that fol-

truant officer for the Cairo public
schools. cites the state law com
panding attendance at school, and
otherwise gives pointers that viii
be of interest and of Importance at
this time. Mr.. Clendenen says.
Parents and guardians are apt to
think and feel that their children
their tharges-are their own in
every way despite the law. No
graver mistake is made than to be-
lieve and act from that view point.
Children have O future that
reaches way beyond the life of the
parent and affects and influences
The local community and state life of
future citizenship. The state,
realizing all this and even NOR !
'the pursuit of life, liberty and hap.
piness" makes laws for the best
education and training OF futur
ren and women,
To this end, taxes are levied q
bu'ld school houses and maintai7
schools as many months as possible
each year.
For this reason. Illinois has ena e
cd a law commanding parents ana
Guardians to send their children,
between Z and l6 years, to school
all the time there is school. PrJ-
vision is made on the law for chil-
dren between IA and 16 to work
provided such are sufficiently ad-
vaneed in The elementary school
branches.
Fer the fuller obedience Of the
parents of children TO the state
school attendance law, the Cairc
board of education has appointed Z
ruant officer.
The title of the officer is mig
