Compulsory Education Law
Ignored By Wealthy Parents
South Orange School Superintendent in Report Says Attempt
TO Enforce Act Would Raise Storm-Poor, He As

Holding that an attempt literally
to enforce the compulsory education
act would raise Storm" Superin-
tendent of Schools Henry w. Foster,
of South Orange, in his annual report
issued today, states that many we'll
to-do parents show by their acts that
thew consider compliance with the
law unnecessary, out of which, he
mainstains, grows very delicate
situation for those in authority who
would do their duty as defined by the
law.
The American citizen, Mr.. Foster
declares, believes in passing laws
which represent an ideal, and sub
hitting to such only, beyond those
that are primary and fundamental as
do not interfere with his convenience
and they must be "liberally inter-
preted."
1.-THE poor and those without influ-
ence are generally made to submit
Mr.. Foster states, adding: The de-
sire to avoid controversies with faml-
lies whose condition presupposes that
the children will be well cared for or

versy will do more harm than the

tor to follow the doubtful course OF

Continuing, the superintendent
states: "One consideration is, there
fore, urged upon ali parents whose
children attend the public schools
that they will cooperate in full ODE

far short of the ideals OF the State,
as represented in the compulsory edu-
cation act. The law reads that every
child between the ages of seven and
fourteen years Of age shall attend

session unless the Board of Education
shall be satisfied that the child is
mentally or physically unfit, or shall

act would raise a storm" Mr. Foster
states, adding that at is literally en-
forced, nowhere, and will not
approach even reasonable en-
forcement until the State supervises,
inspects and licenses every agent OF
education" Mr.. Foster declares that
many well-to-do parents sshow by
their acts that they consider COM
pliance with the law unnecessary.
Out of this condition, the school head
says, the deficiencies of dilatory pupils
appear in the midst Of the class work
1t is unfair also to expect that the
reasons for absence or hardness shall
not be expected Of some families,
when it is admitted that with othel

necessary"
Contending that under present con
ditions the teaching profession be

among the teachers, Superintendent
Foster states, adding that an idea

Lyon Fails of Election
as Head of East Orange
Board; Deignan Is Named

Advanced predictions that John c.
Lyon would be named president Of
the East Orange Police Commission
did not materialize, as the body last
night selected James A. Deignan, the
Oldest member, for the Office. Mr..
Deignan was secretary of the commits
sion last year, and it was figured he
would be retained in that position.
Mr.. Lyon was appointed a member OF
the commission on New Years Day.
Commissioner Edward S. Grain was
selected secretary 10 succeed Mr..
Deignan. The meeting was held
primarily to familiarize Mr.. Lyon
with the workings of the commission
and to select officers. The commits
sioners considered changes in the po-
lice manual, but deferred action.
The commission will meet next Mon
dsy night, when it Is expected the
board viii appoint two new patrol
men. It is likely the commission will
also change the titles OF desk SER
geants to lieutenants and roundsmen
to sergeants.

Spread of Measles Alarms
East Orange Health Officials

Somewhat disturbed by the increase
in cases Of measles in East Orange
the Board of Health at a special
meeting last night decided to list the
malady among the diseases requiring
quarantine of patients. and in this
way the officials will try to check
what threatens to be an epidemic.
The reports of 115 cases in December
and nearly two score additional cases
thus fer In January, particularly
among school children, was RESPONSE
BILE for DR.. Ralph H. Hunts decision
to call q conference Of his health
board associates, superintendent
Broome, Of the schools, and. the city
medical inspectors.
1t was decided that while, measles
cases have not been quarantined the
increase above normal for the past
two months warrants some drastic
action, and the crusade against the
disease will be vigorously carried on.
