changes in the high school law. The
statistics In his report are interesting
and should be instructive.
The Importance of the work in the
common school can be realized when
we consider the fact that the vast
majority OF our boys and girls receive
only suchseducation as can be obtained
IN the con,incn schools. and only a
small minority OF them obtain the ad-
vantages Of college education. So
that if we are to train and educate
the large body of our rural popula-
ton, that traaning and education must
bs given In the common schools
Hencei ]. urge upon you the necessity
for providing for the work and ef-
ficiency ofatlre common schools. and
this work is.of paramount Importance.

Supervisor, Mill Schools.
AT the last session of the legisla-
ture you made provision for supervis-
or in mill schools as a part of the ed
ucational system Of the State. The
aim, in the mill schools, is to place
them on a parity with the work in the
high schools, rural graded schools,
and other schools. If this is accom-
plished it will mean an increased self
reliance and responsibility on the part
OF the patrons of these schools. This
work Is important to many of our citi-
zens. who are bone or our bone and
nesh of our flesh, and who are entitled
to the same consideration by the State
that belongs to every other citizen.
l commend the report of the super
visor of mill schools to your atten-
ton. and am confident that the eff
cheney in this work will be more and
more apparent as time goes on. We
can not afford to stop this work.

Child Labor.

I desire to again urge upon you the
necessity for raising the age limit of
children working in factories, mines
and textile esta ablishments. The adop-
tiOn Of compulsory attendance law
by the legislature, last winter was, in
my Judgment, a great step forward in
education. Experience has shown
that a large number of school districts
have placed themselves under the op-
.eration Of this law, and q larger num-
ber of school districts will, in all
probability, place themselves under it's
operation within the next few months.
Experience has shown, however, that
school districts in which reside chill
dren working in the mills, have not
placed themselves under the compul-
sorry attendance law. by reason of the
fact that the minimum age limit of
the child labor law is twelve years,
while under the compulsory attend
ance law, the maximum Is fourteen
years. SO that the child labor law age
limit Of twelve years acts as a deter
rent influence in preventing school dis
tricts in which this part Of our popula-
ton live, from taking advantage of
the opportunities offered under the
compulsory attendance law. I, there
fore. strongly urge the passage of
bill which Is now on the house calen-
dar. No. 223. and that this bill shall

Twice year in Washington they

give senders or owners an opportunity
to claim them. they are sold at public
