the states without compulsory laws ire low reduced to four-Aabama,
Florida, Georgia and Mississippi
While the South Carolina and Texas laws are not as comprehen-
sme and strict as those of some of the other statest that have had COM
pulsory laws for many years, they area distinct recognition of the COM
pulsory principle and represent a big step forward in the two states
The Texas law requires all children between the ages of 8 and ID
to attend school-60 days the first year, so days the second year, and
100 days thereafter in every school year, 1t provides for attendance
officers, fixes penalties for violations, and provides for the establish
ment of parental or truan schools where necessary. The law goes into
effect September l, 1916.
The South Carolina law is optional, but the state authorities are
hopeful that a large proportion of the districts will vote to have the law
apply to them. State Superintendent Sweargen is urging that every
local tax district circulate its compulsory attendance petition at once,
hold its election, and put every child in school during l9lo-lo.
Officers of the u. S. Bureau of Education believe that the action
of Texas and South Carolina in enactng compulsory school attendance
laws will have an effect not only on the four states still without such
laws, but also o states where the school attendance laws operate only in
pulsory education effective throughout all the territory of the states and
for longer periods of attendance.
In Alabama, where school problems are receiving special attention
this year, the need of a compulsory law as of the most important
steps in progress is keenly recognized. Present and former State Super
intendent Feagan declares in his annual report: "No n would question
for a moment that the state has the right to compel the parent to feed
and cothe his child, and to carry the law-breaking child to the reform
to require the parent tic send his child to school in order to "a him
from that reformatory or that Jail and to make him a producer rather
than a LEI consumer OF the wealth of the state? Alabama needs a
form of compulsory education which should be a rigid and a progress

STORY OF THE AMERICAN FLAG

AT the outbreak of the Revolution the American colonies had no
flag common to all Of them. In many cases the merchant marine flag
of England was used with the pine tre substituted for the Union Jack
Massachusetts adopted the green pine tpe on a white field with the
motto, "An Appeal to Heaven" Some OF the southern states had the
ratuesnake flag with the motto, Don't Tread On Me" on a white and
yellow field. This flag had been used by South Carolina as early as
1854 In the fall of l75 there was displayed in the South what IS
believed 20 be the first distnchve1y American flag. 1t a blue with
a white crescent, and matched the dress of the troops, who or caps
inscribed, Liberty O. Death"
The colonEts desired to adopt a common flag, and as they had not
declaned independence and at fsst YER not seeking independence, they
took the British flag and made a colonial flag by dividing the red field
with white stripes. This is known as the Cambridge flag, because it
was first unfur1ed over Washngtons headquarters at Cambridge, Mass,
on January /, H76. 1t complied with the British law by having the
Union Jack O it; also represented the thirteen colonies by the thr-
teen stripes.
Finally IS the idea of independence took a firm hold on the minis
and hearts of the colonists the Union Jack vas replaced by white stars
on a blue ground.
The official adoption of our first flag was o June IA, 1777, when the
Continental congress passed an act providing that the flag of the
thirteen united states be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that
he union be thirteen stars, white IN a blue field, representing a e
constellation" The thirteen stars wer arranged in a circle to SYM
bo;ze the perpetuity Of the union of the states.
Vermont W "a admitted to the Union in 1871 and Kentucky the
recognized in the flag, So in 1894 congress passed an act making the hs
fifteen stars and fifteen stripes.
This remained the flag Of the Union throughout the w ar Of 1872
was made to modify the flag SO that all new states might be represent
q O n it. To be continually adding stripes would make the flag in
calmly in shape and appearance, 50 after arguing the matter for two
wears congress decided to return to the original thirteen stripes AMI
n star for each state.

Dick Marshall Acquitted.

The trial of Dick Marshall al
Clayton, charged with stealing two
yearlings from S. A. Choat, of Hick-
man, KY, pending before Esqs. A
E. Caldwell, London, Mcbride, San
ders and Kersey, was concluded
Wednesday afternoon, after lasting
two days. We are informed that
Mr. Marshall proved by overwhelm-
ing proof that the two yearlings in
question were his own property, hav-
ing introduced Mrs. Louise Gray and
her sons, who raised them both, and
who testified that Mrs. Gray sold
them to Mr.. Marshall in October,
1918. He produced the check at the
trial with which he paid for the
stock in question.
AS result of all the proof on
both sides, the court acquitted Mr.
Marshall of the charge and the net
result is that he stands exonerated
in every particular.
At first public sentiment seemed
very much against Mr. Marshall, but
after hearing his array of evidence
it completely reversed itself. The
trial was attended by about $50
spectators each day.

AFTER THE EDUCATIONAL
QUACkS

There seems to be developing a
belief, if one may judge from cur
rent newspaper editorials and ar
ticles, that the educational sys-
tenn Of the country has gotteT.,
or is getting, into the hands Of
educational quacks-men who
are attempting to prescribe nos
trums of one kind and another
without any well-understood
knowledge of the effects of the
educational medicines thus given
to the young.
OF course, no one is radical
enough to say this true of all the
educators, nor is it true Of all the
educational prescriptions, but
there is a growing belief that
there is a sort of affiliated socie-
ty Of educational quacks whose
purpose it is to foist themselves
upon an unsuspecting public by
reasons of the nostrums they
prescribe.
There is a growing lack of con-
Gdence that the public is getting
full value for its educational eX-
pcnditures but that substitutes
by the score are being worked Off
for the article bought. Among
the causes for this growing sus-
picion and the consequent dis
content is the evident desire to
advance pupils quickly through
certain grades in the departments
coming more directly under the
supervision of the Advertising
educator.
In other words, there is a rap
idly growing belief that thor
oughness is being ignored i'm the
desire for opportunity to make
a big record of the percentage of
attendance in the higher grades
which had its origin few years
ago and which has developed in
to one of the modern education
al fads.
This subject and kindred sub
jects are just now being widely
discussed in the newspapers i'm
spite of the American tendency
to ignore public discussion of
matters relating to the public
schools.
