Not that the act would help the horse,

But the record says the trooper saw

avenues Of employment open to them
for earning an Independent living,

mand a high standard Of efficiency.
for there are large numbers to choose
from.
The continuation schools. especially
those for the colored children, have
been the means of encouraging many
children to remain in school. Where
pupils fail in the last term, with few
exceptions they enter the summer
school and to prepare for their grade
in September, and in many instances
they are successful, where on the 9TH
er hand, without this chance, they Of
ten become discouraged and give up,
the same thing being true Of both high
school and grammar pupils.
There was a notable reduction IN
the age of the pupils graduating from
the grammar schools this year, fact
that is significant for several reasons.
The compulsory educational laws OF
the state do not apply to children I'M
der seven years, and in too many in
stances parents do not realize it to
their own interest and the child's to
start first grade children to school ut
FIVE and a half where there is room
for them, and at six by all means. In
many cases the irregularity of attend
ance on the part of these pupils Is one
of the problems of first-grade teach
