Mercy for LAWYER.

When C. Edgar Shreve, lawyer, was
arraigned in the Camden court for SEN
tence on charge of passing a worthless
check on the Volney G.. Bennett Lum-
Der company, lawyer Howard NJ. Cooper
made an appeal for clemency, and a
representative of the company asked the
court TO be lenient. Addressing the de-
PENDANT, Judge Boyle said:

Obev the School Laws.

There is law on the statute book
which requires children of designated
age to attend school. 1t has been sale
that the law is drastic, that it is severe
That is so, but there seems to be grea
need for its severity. Parents have beer
too lenient in the matter of sending
children to school. The state and the
township spend much money to educate
/ the youth of the county, and it is small
return the parents can make in sending
the youngsters to school.
This subject is attracting attention in
many parts of the country and truant
officers are being employed to look up
truants and to ascertain the reasons why
pupils absent themselves. In Mount
Holly this officer has been at work fol
several months but he has run against
obstacles that would have discouraged
many. Samuel K Gaskill, the officer,
has kept right at his work, however, and
has produced good results. Some of the
parents think that the law is to be
slightly regarded and Mr.. Gaskill has
found some of the propositions rather
hard. The law provides that the aid OF
the court may be invoked when the
situation gets beyond the local authori.
ties and the first case under this provis.
ion was brought to the attention Of
Judge Horner, last Thursday, when
Thomas johnson, resident of Wash
ington street, was taken before the
court.
The son of Mr.. Johnson has been pay
ing little attention to the matter of at
tending school. Repeated requests to
the father and mother to have this dis
crepancy remedied did not bring the de-
sired effect and it was decided to try
what the law would do. Before the
judge on Thursday the principal of the
Samuel Aaron school produced the re-
cord and showed how many times the
boy complained of had been absent.
She also sid she had notified the parents
and had asked them to compel the boy
to attend school. Matters did not be-
come any better
In reply to questions of Judge Hor-
ner, johnson said he was at work all day
and was not in a position to know
whether the boy went to school. He
claimed not to have received any noti-
fication of continued absence. Mr..
johnson said the boys mother attend
ed to the son during the day. He also
intimated that the boy was hard to
manage, but when Judge Homer sug-
gested that if the boy could not be con-
trolled at home he had better be sent TO
the Reform school, Johnson concluded
that such happening was not desired.
After giving the case hearing, Judge
Homer concluded that johnson had
violated the school law and fined him
SIS and costs.
Parents of children within the school
age would do well to take notice of this
case. The Board of Education in this
county have determined that children
shall go to school. This is the first APP
plication of the statute but it will not
be the last by any means. If parents
defy the law and think they can escape
the provisions of the statute they should
at once awaken to the realization of the
fact that they are mistaken. Otherwise
there will be Others who will have to pay
for their negligence or defiance.

An unjustited and unwarranted attack
was made ON the judge of the fifth cleo
ton district Tuesday evening by man
who ought to have known and probably
did know better. In tearing off the part
of the ticket which the election board is
required to keep, the Judge left small
piece of the slip attached to the ticket.
The fellow who was casting his vote no.
ticed this, and accused the judge of
making the tear Intentionally in order
that he might, later, discover how the
man voted. He told the Judge he was
pretty slick" Not satisfied with max
ing this ugly remark and insinuation
this fellow went outside and continued
his remarks, going so far, so some tell, as
to say that the judge would never sit in
that district again. The election officer
is man of the highest reputation and
it came with bad grace for the other fell
low to say anything with the intention
of casting reflections upon the formers
integrity, especially in view of some
facts that have been made public in the
past.
The next Board of Freeholders will be
peculiarly composed. Three of the mem
bers will be men who have a court record
of either criminality or ignorance against
