COMPULSORY ATTEND
ANcE IN SCHOOLS.

The increasing acceptance OF the
idea OF compulsory attendance in
schools is one Of the most gratifying
signs of progress in the South at this
time.
The South is today about the only
considerable portion of the civilized
earth in which II is thought fit and
proper for careless and ignorant par
ent to bind his children for life in the
bonds of ignorance, blind them for life
to the light OF knowledge. and Grip
pie them for life in the struggle for
existence; and this fact Is a blot upon
our boasted civilization. blot we
should like to enlist every man. wom-

have been so long invoked in this mat

What about the rights Of the child
