The Petersburg five captured three
games from the local tenpin class r
team last night in an easy fashion.
although the scores on both SIDES

teams are expected to do great work
in the intercity tournament which
will open mp for all OF the strong
pin knights that will participate in
the greatest affair that has ever been
pulled off on the Virginia alleys and
In the South.
The Palace No. team did not have
their regular line-up last night. but
they made a very good showing al
that 1t is probable that the same

By MISS AMMAN G. BEGAN.
In telling of he work of the at
tendance office. ! am introducing
you to some of the children of the
District of Columbia, who will be
the fathers and mothers Of the next
generation. 1t is our aim to take
up the work in broad way. not
merely enforcing the letter OF the
law. but surviving TO better conditions
in families, such conditions being
at the bottom of the offenses against
the compulsory education law. For
instance, last winter, the attendance
officer was sent to investigate the
cause Of the absence of four children
In the same family. She found the
father out of work because he was
claimed to be insane, and the moth
er was in indescribable filth.
Cases are not always easily and
happinIy adjusted. In dealing with
the child, our one aim is to make MIN
a good Intelligent citizen. II all par
ents were unselfishly interested in
the future welfare of their children.
there would be little need of a COM
pulsory education law. In one fam
fly. the parents, although able to
take care Of the one child of school
age. insisted on getting him a per-
NIT TO work.
The Letter of the Law.
The law reads. that every parent,
guardian. or other person having
charge Of a child between the ages
Of eight and fourteen years, must
see that he is regularly instructed
in the elementary branches Of
knowledge, in a public. private, or
parochial school. A child may be
excused by the superintendent of
schools on presentation OF satisfac-
tory evidence before a notary When
the child is physically or mentally
unable TO attend school, a doctors
certificate Is secured.
According TO the law, a child may
not be absent more than three days
or six halliday sessions in five
months, without sufficient excuse.
The old excuses. such as attending
dancing school, having the shoes
mended. caring for the baby while
mother does the washing or goes
shopping. arc no longer accepted.
Some of the boys OF school age
carry the responsibility of a man OF
thirty Their surroundings seem ever
10 press them to work, to earn
money somehow and in some way.
This is too frequently the cause OF
their absence. One sometimes won
ders that children are as good as
they are. when he finds the conditions
under which they live or rather
exist. II to build in the day light
