GEORGIA SHOWS A
VERY LOW RATING
(By J. L. Brien, School Extension
Agent, U. S. Bureau of Education

Agent, U. S. Bureau of Education
Department of the Interior)
school attendance is an essential fac
tor in the actual length of the school
term. How to make compulsory school
attendance effective is one of the most
perplexing problems confronting law
makers and administrative schol Of
ficers. Prior to 1890 only q states and
the District of Columbia had COM
pulsory school laws and many of these
were optional and therefore inoperat-
i've. Now all the states EXCEPT Mis-
sissippi have either mandatory or
optional compulsory school attend
ance laws. School attendance in per-
centage of children to IA years of
age is as follows, according to the
bulletin on Compulsory School At
tendance published by the Bureau of
Education in 1914:
High-90 and Over.
Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New York and Vermont.
Medium-S0 to 80.
California, Colorado, Delaware, Id
aho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine,
Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Mon
tana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Da-
kota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn
sylvania Rhode Island, South Dakota,
Utah, Washington, West Virginia,
Wisconsin, Wyoming.
LOw-70 to so.
Kentucky, Mississippi, New Mexico,
North Carolina, Texas.
Very LOW-BelOW 20.
Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Geor-
gia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Vir-
ginia.
No law can be effectively enforced
unless public sentiment is back of it.
One of the most effective agencies in
the enforcement of compulsory school
laws is found in an act Of the Ne
braska legislature for 1915, which
provides that three-fourths of the
state school fund shall be distributed
to the several districts pro rata &C
cording to the average daily attend
ance last returned by the directors of
the various districts. Such a law is
not only fair, reasonable, and Just,
but it Immediately appeals to the en-
lightened selfshness of the people
themselves. Under such a law as
this, public opinion will demand that
all pupils of school age who are with
cut reasonable excuse shall give
proper attendance while school is in
session. 1t is much more equitable to
apportion school money upon the at
I tendance of pupils at school than it is
to make such apportionment on tehir
non attendance To equalize the bur
den of a reasonable school term, Ne
blaska apportions one-fourth of her
state school fund equally along the
seevral districts of the state, and
where a school district votes the
maximum school tax and conducts it's
business properly, the state comes to
its assistance by direct state aid in
sufficient amount to provide min
imum school term of seven months.

it was agreed to send committee
to Tom bstone to confer with the

Mr.. A l. Paschal', the present
advisor, has been very active in
carrying out the better farming
propaganda and it is believed is
just getting to the stage where re-
suits are beginning to show. The
farmers may receive great benefits
from the Advisors services, in con-

supervisors may be induced 10
