Compulsory attendance in SCHOOLS IS
a comparatively recent innovation In
the state, having been made part OIL
the statutory law only in 1902 after
debate more or less urgent since
1912. It only covered twelve weeks OF
schooling in every year.
The term OF compulsory attendance
was raised to sixteen weeks In 1904
and the apotn tment of truant officers
in school districts of 10000 or more
population was made mandatory.
Again in 1909 the compulsory term
was increased to twenty.four weeks,
with the additional provision that
cities of the first and second class
might compel attendance for the en-
tire school year.
Finally a law was passed in 1913,
extending the provisions to include
unemployed persons up to 16 years
of age.
One Of the earliest arguments in
favor Of manual or industrial train
ing in the public schools was the
plea that the attractiveness Of II
would reduce truancy. In the debate
over compulsory attendance a dis
tinction was often made Of compul
sorv education. The latter, it was
declared, would involve a considera
ton of environment and occupation
and might be accomplished without
attendance upon the sessions of the
school

SUFFRAGE by Coercion.

The argument made by the minority
suffragists to the Senate judiciary
committee that the right to picket the
White House and annoy the President
of the United States is essential to
national liberty can hardly be expect
ed to impress reasonable men and wo-
men.
Prohititionists are honest in their
belief that the manufacture of drinks
containing alcohol should be banned
by the Constitution. They have not
deemed it necessary to liberty to
picket the White House or the Capitol.
Protectionists who have every rea
son to believe that they are in the ma
jority in the United States are quite
justified in feeling that the govern
ment should adopt a permanent pro.
tective tariff policy. They know the
President disagrees with them, but
they have not deemed it necessary to
national liberty to maintain pickets at
the White House to annoy the Presi-
dent with the question, How long
must we wait for a protective tariff ?"
