ABOUT COMPULSORY EDUCATION
Children Between Ages of and IA
Must Attend School Regularly

That the compulsory education law
may be more thoroughly understood,
the News-Budget is publishing the
following interview with the deputy
Of the State Industrial Commission,
who has been investigating cases
and gathering evidence here lately
Children between the ages of 7 and
ii years must attend school regular
ly; that is, 20 days per month.
Sickness of the child and death at
home are about the only excuses that
are legal
Don't keep your children home
from school to do little work-help
with the washing, tend baby, tee 1t
puts them back and holds back the
work of the class they are in
Every child between II and IS
years of age must go to school or
be legally employed.
If child under Is years of age
has finished the 8th grade it does
not have to go to school,
Legal employment for children be-
tween ii and 16 is where they have
q permit in the office of their en-
plOyer, work not more than eight
hours a day, not more than 4S hours
per week, not before 700 in the
morning or after 600 in the even
ing
If a child between If and IS stays
home, the parents must show that
it is having regular steady work to
do and not merely laboring and do
ing odd jobs for a bluff at work
For those who want to blame
someone for telling on them when
they violate the law, the deputy eX-
plains that the law requires teach
ers to report to the superintendent
and it also requires the superintend-
ent to report to the Industrial Com
mission at Madison all cases where
children stay out Of school without
a legal excuse. II he does not report
he is laying himself to a very heavy
fine for each separate case he fails
to report
The thing is so we'll covered by
law that those who want to blame
someone for their own faults, deserve
the full penalty Of the law whenever
they violate it,
If you don't send your children to
school when they are able to go, you
must expect to be punished according
to law. The penalty is from $500 to
90, or so days in Jail, or both.

State Auditor Coffman Tuesday af- ternoon recognized George P. Taylor as county treasurer, and as such MT. Taylor received from the state super intendent a check for S17,O82, cover ing St. Francis apportionment from the school fund of the state. The school fund of St. Francis county. amounting to over $3O,0O0, lacked three days of being available for ap- portionment, and under the ruling of the attorney general this must be car ried over until the 1914 apportion- ment. The allotment for the state is about 1-2 cents per capita smaller this year on account of the failure of St. Francis county to get in on time. but next year it will be just that much larger.

PRICE OF COTTON
 MAKES BIG. GAIN
GOVT. REPORT BUlLTSH
STAPLE ADVANCES OVER A CENT IN WEEK, BRINGING
 12 CENTS AT CONWAY.

A bullish report of the condition o1 cotton, issued by the governmen, Tuesday, showing marked deteriora. ton in the month ending August 25 caused the price of the staple to ad vance nearly three-quarters of cent a pound yesterday, a net gain of ove, 100 points in the week ending today Cotton on the Conway market Wed. nesday was bringing upwards of F cents.
 If the deterioration throughout the belt averages as much as that ir Faulkner county, the report is fully justified, in the opinion of local cotton men. Aside from the July crop, the plant will make practically nothing the hot weather having caused every. thing put on during August to sheo as fast as it formed. The July cror is also cut short by premature open. ing of the bolls.
 Only about 40 bales have been mar. keted in Conway to date, the weather being too hot for picking, although the staple is opening fast.
 The 2 ldition of the growing cot. ton crop the United States on Mon- day, August 25, was 68.2 per cent o1 a normal, compared with 79.6 per cent on July 25, this year, 74.S per cent on August 25, last year, 73.2 per cent in 1911 and TAT per cent the average condition on August 25 of the past 10 years, according to the government report. The condition for the crop 1T Arkansas is given at 72, as compared with 87 month ago, 77 year agt and a 1O-year average of 77.
 Cotton statisticians estimated tht growing crop on a basis of the gov. |ernment's figures will not exceed 13, 500,000 bales. The consumption o1 American cotton during the seasor just closed was 14,9O0,OOO bales.
