SAYS LEGISLATURE
PASSED GOOD LAWS
Superintendent Asserts Ben
efits Will Come From
School Acts.
TO CHANGE COURSE
Employers Must Sign Certifi-
Gates if Child is Not in
School.
TO CHANGE COURSE

The recent session of the state leg
1slature passed more legislation for
the benefit of the public school sys-
tenn of the state than any other leg
islature for the past thirty years." said
County Supt. c. O. Williams. "The
time has passed when farmers and
others can keep their children home
from school on the grounds that their
eyesight or hearing Is bad
The state now provides that all chill
dren shall be kept in school up to the
age of sixteen years and schools for
deaf and blind children will be main
tanned at the expense of the state
where children desiring an education
may remain until they are eighteen
years of age and must remain until
they are sixteen.
The best law enacted by the legis-
Nature according to Mr.. Williams Is
1.-The Vocational training law. The law
Aprovides that in all schools in the
Estate there shall be a domestic sci
ence and an agricultural department.
Shop work and manual training is to
sbe optional with the schools.
Course Changed Here.
The course of study in all schools in
kWayne county will necessarily be
.changed. The agricultural department
will make the township schools more
spopular with the farmers, the local
authorities believe. A certain amount
OF the vocational training is compul-
sorry on the part of the students
sthough a large per cent Is optional.
The courses taught in various coun-
cites will vary and each county will &C
cept vocational training If it applies
to local conditions. In Wayne coun-
ty specially Of agricultural and man.
Eual training will be maintained.
Strict Truancy Laws.
The truancy law provides that ev-
.ery child shall attend school up to
the age of 16 years. The child may
be permitted to remain away from
school providing a certificate can be
obtained from a reputable physician
stating that the child's health will not
allow attendance.
Any child between the ages Of four
teen and sixteen years of age may
be permitted to remain away from
school If it Is necessary for the child
to sustain himself or members of his
family. The permission to stop school
must be obtained from the city, town
or county superintendent. The child
must receive a statement from his
employer specifying the kind of work
the child is to perform and what his
hours at work are. The salary must
also be specified by the employer.
Should the child for any reason be
dismissed or quit the employment Of
the person for whom he Is working it
is the duty of the employer to noti-
fy the superintendent from whom per-
mission was obtained for the child to
stop school. No child under the age
of sixteen years will be allowed to
stop school unless he or she has COM
pleted the work of the fifth grade.

window beyond which the reddening

sheriff, had a real sympathy for him
as he sat in the stink of the Jail.
