The most serious obstacle Interfering
with satisfactory school results in the
schools today is the unprecedented list
of absences. Much of this absence is
unavoidable. Illness, either of the
student or in his family is an accept
able excuse as is the statement of a
parent expressing feeling OF timidity
about submitting his child to the dam
gers of congregating at this time To
such parents this statement is not adj
dressed There remains a class of pu-
pills which comes under neither one of
these heads. They are found spending
their hours in idleness; aimlessly
tramping the streets and lettering
about public places OF gathering.
Their mental and moral development
is at standstill and even more serious
than that they are contracting vicious
habits which if persisted in will surely
deprive them of the opportunity of de-
yeloping into respectable, efficient
and broad visioned type of manhood
or womanhOod. To parents of this
latter class it may be well to state in a
very condensed form the law governing
such absences. ANY person having
under his control any child between
the ages of and IA years or any child
between the ages of IA and 16 years
not regularly and lawfully employed
in any useful employment or service at
home or elsewhere shall cause such
child to be enrolled in and to attend
some public, parochial or private
school regularly ANY person who
shall violate the provisions of this sec
ton shall upon conviction thereof be
punished by fine of not less than So
nor more than $50, together with costs
of prosecution or by Imprisonment in
the county jail not exceeding 3 months
or by both such fines and imprisOn-
ment.
