TWO MORE STATES
ADOPT COMPULSORY
SCHOOL LAW

With South Carolina and Texa.
enrolled on the list of States thai
have compulsory school attendance
laws as result of 1915 legislation
the States without compulsory laws
are now reduced to four: Alabama
Florida, Gerogia and Mississippi.
While the South Carolina and Tex
as laws are not as comprehensive and
strict as those of some of the other
States that have had compulsory
laws for many years, they are a dis
tinct recognition of the compulsory
principle and represent a big step
forward in the two States.
The Texas law requires all child
rem between the ages of s and IA
to attend school-60 days the first
year, 80 days the second year, and
100 days thereafter in every school
year. 1t provides for attendance Of
ficers, fixes penalties for violations.
and provides for the establishment of
parental or truant schools where
necessary. The law goes into effect
September /, 1916.
The South Carolina law is op-
tional, but the state authorities are
hopeful that large proportion of
the districts will vote to have the
law apply to them. State Supt.
Swearingen is urging hat every To-
cal tox district circulate its COM
pulsory attendance petition at once,
hold its election, and put every child
in school during 1915-16."
Officers of the U. S. Bureau of
Education believe that the action of
Texas and South Carolina in enact
ing compulsory school attendance
laws will have an effect not only on
the four states still without such
laws, but on states where the school
laws operate only in
part. Vigorous campaigns are under
way in several states to make COM
pulsory education effective through
out all the territory of the States
and for longer periods of attendance.
I'm Alabama. where school prob
lens are receiving special attention
this year, the need for a compulsory
abundance law as one of the most
important steps in progress is keenly
recognized. Present and former
state superintendent of education /
have urged the enactment of a suit :
able law State Superintendent w. ,
F. Feagin declares in his annual re-
port: mo one would question for
moment that the State has the right I
20 compel the parent to feed and
'lothe his child, and to carry the !
aw-breaking child to the reforma-
.ory or the Jail to protect society. |,
Has not the State an equal right to
require the parent to send his child
10 school in order to save him from !
hat reformatory or that Jail and to
make him producer rather than a !,
mere consumer of the wealth of the
state? Alabama needs a form of |
education which should
" as rigid and as progressive as our
ability to cope with the situation
will make possible.

This paper again, firmly but
kindly, repeats that it will not pub
fish contributions which in the judg-
ment of it's editor will be harmful.
Communications calculated to be
helpful to the community are well
comed articles that amount to
nothing one way or the other are
tolerantly accepted, when we can
handle them; but those the inten-
tion of which is to stir up trouble.
or to vent spite or spleen, must seek
some other medium for publicity
Some people apparently think they
have an absolute right to demand the
publication of anything they may Of
fer. This is a mistake. This news
paper is the personal property of its
owner, and he reserves the right to
reject anything the publication of
which he may consider undesirable
He has duty to the community. and
he expects to fulfill it, regardless of
the unreasonable demands of ire
sponsible persons who do not care
how harmful a communication may
be, to the town, to the paper. or to
individuals, so long as they get their
views aired. This paper. in short,
positively refuses to act as a public
scavenger.
