The soldiers also will act as escort in the funeral pro cession. Private Beaney, son of Mir and Mrs. George Beaney, died of in fiuenza Sunday at Camp Merritt, N.

 William PouIrnenakos, a resident of the West Side. was before Justice Frank M. Bedard of the town of Brooklyn Tuesday evening to answer to a charge of having failed to com ply with the statutory requirements relative to sending children to school in this case the delinquent being the defendants son, Peter, 13, who, it was represented has been employed recently in a Massachusetts town, and presumably in factory. A. W. Bu- chanan, an agent of the state board of education, investigated the, case and caused the appearance in court of the elder Poulmenakos. Mir. Bucha- nan stated that he had learned that the boy, who should have been in school, has been going away from here after Sunday evening to work in a Massachusetts town and has been returning on Saturdays. In the East Brooklyn school, MT. Buchanan said, the boy had advanced to the fifth grade in three years. showing that he was an intelligent pupil and would have continued to do well education ally had he not been robbed of his rights in that respect. The court fined Poulmenakos and the boy will be re- turned to school, it is understood. Though there is a pressure for ad- ditiona1 employees in many big plants ill Connecticut and elsewhere in New England at the present time, the agents of the state board of educa- tion are scrupulously carrying out the letter of the law in seeing to it that no young person of school years is permitted to work, unless granted the l necessary certificate permitting him to leave school and to labor, and the granting of such certificates is hedged about with many safeguards.
