THE NEW SCHOOL LAW

Desiring that everyone shall fully
and fairly understand the cofpulsory at
tendance law that is now in force,
am making the folliwing brief explain
atiOns in order to make it $50 simple
that anyone can understand it.
/. It is against the law for anyone
to misrepresent the age of child for
the purpose of evading the law. Pen
nor more than fifty dollars for each
offense.
-. 1t is the law for every child be-
tween the ages of eight and fourteen
years. inclusive, to attend some school,
either public or private, for eighty
consecutive days. Thestate superin-
tendent rules that this means the first
eighty days. Penalty for refusing to
put the child in school, fine of not
less than two dollars, nor more than
twenty dollars for the first offense; a
fine of not less than five nor more than
fifty dollars for the second and every
subsequent offense, and the cost of
the suit
Exemptions, sickness or mental in
capacity; residing more than two
pulleS ny tuc uodTcSt ITdVclcu IOdu
from the schoolhouse. These are the
only exceptions.
8. All children between the ages of
fourteen and sixteen who can not read
and write, or who are not employed
in some legal occupation, are required
to attend school the same as others.
Penalty, the same as above.
Neither the county superintendent,
nor any other school official has any
right or power to excuse anyone from
the provisions of this law. Further,
the law makes it the duty of teachers
and they are required under their
contract to report all cases of violation
of the law.
uis law was passed by the vote of
nearly every member of all parties in
both houses of the legislature, and
was signed by the governor, and there
is no doubt of its legality.

WESLEYANS DEFEAT
CHRISTIANS AT BASKETBALL

In the most hotly contest game
so far played on the floor of the
Boys club gym, the Methodists last
night succeeded in dethroning the
Christian team from their high po-
sition and tieing them in games won
and lost each having now won and
lost ] From the blowing of the
whistle every man on each team put
in all the strength at his command,
and it was needed for both bunches
were out to win. The Christians, al
though not showing as good form as
at some previous times, took the
lead at first, but the Methodists,
fighting like demons soon pulled up
to the score and by very pretty dis
play of teamwork kept the balance
swinging from one side to the other
The Methodist quintet showed uD
to much better advantage than I'm
any of their preceding games AMI
showed the result of consistent prac-
tice in their team work. the first
half ending with score in their favor
1914. In the second half both teams
went in to win and this part of the
game showed the most speed yet
seen on the floor for every man real
lied that one more minute of play
might mean victory for his club.
The scoring was about even and
when time was called stood 31-30 for
the Methodists. Herrick and Smith
undoubtedly put up the best game
for the Methodists, and the Metho-
dist guards were certainly on the
job, for the Christian forwards could
not seem to elude them for long
enough time to throw a basket when
the ball was given them. Teel, the
Christian guard, played a fast and
heady game, making many points for
his club, and Trimble, the big black
smith center, played a good game.
The crowd was not as large as the
quality of the contest warranted al
though much enthusiasm was in evil
dence. The preliminary between the
junior teams was interesting and
showed much material for future
teams.

Orchardists who have not yet
sprayed with the lime-sulphur solu-
tion this winter should rush the
work now as fast as possible in or
der to get through before the dor
mant season is over. You should
make good use of every fair day from

Do not deceive yourselves into
thinking that you will not be troub-
led with scale this year, even il you
had none last season. and the only
way to be sure that your trees will

BUNKER HILL LOSES
TERROR TO TRAVELLERS

Forest Supervisor Macduff reports
that the worst piece of trail on the
Rogue river route has now been
eliminated, the men having com
pleted the work at Bunker HILL
shortening the distance and cutting
out the switchback. The old trail
run straight up over the hill doub-
ling back and forth to gain the top,
this being the most serious obstruc-
tion to travel. The new trail skirts
the side of the hill above the river,
making only height enough to get
above the loose shale rock, and load
ed pack horses will find firm footing
and a wide treadway with easy
grade.
Eight men are now employed on
the trail below Galice, and will soon
have it in first-class condition the
entire length OF the river so that
there will be no difficulty Of travel
from Grants Pass to the coast. Two
other places where the trail follows
the bed rock are under water oc-
casionally during the winter, and
these will be the next repaired, the
trail being built above high water
mark. When this is done the Rogue
trail will be passable at any time
winter or summer.
