FOR
ABSENCE FOR WORK

In the enforcement of the COM
pulsory attendance law by the Juv-
emile Cort. County and District super
intendents are required by law to CO.
operate in such enforcement, by care
fully inquiry into those cases where
application are made for permits to
be absent from school, and by the
issuance of permits in only those
cases that are lawfully entitled to
them. They give me no authority
to issue permit to be absent for
work unless 1t is clearly shown that
the child or the family would suffer
for the necessaries of life II the per-
nit were not granted The mere
fact that labor is scarce and the
child's help is very desirable is not
legal basis for a permit.
4 am fully aware that this compels
superintendents to refuse permits In
some cases which interfere with war
measures for food production and
this fact has caused us much per-
plexity. In order that the necessity
for permits may be reduced to a
minimum and the Industrial needs of
each community met at the same time
as fully as possible, urgently re-
quest that school directors so fix
there terms and vacations that their
schools will not be in session when
the help of the children is most need
ed, and when any considerable num-
ber need further adjustment to in
dustrial needs that the directors
make provision for giving additional
instruction outside OF regular school
time that will when duly certified
Justify the issuance of permits based
upon advanced work already done
In districts where such additional in
struction is needed and provided
will gladly issue permits on the basis
Of such advance work especially in
the case of pupils who are badly re-
tarded and have not been out OF
school in open violation of law.
In considering applications for
permits | shall be governed chiefly
by the following considerations:
/. The actual needs of the family
There are probably few cases where
the denial of the application would
result in serious hardship and actual
privation to the family. These are
by the law for the issuance of such
permits and | shall feel compelled to
take time, II necessary, to determine
this condition actually ex-
lists.
2. The proficiency and advancement
of the pupil and his past record of
school attendance. Pupils who are re-
tarded or who have been out OF
school in violation of the law can
not be given permits unless the need
is shown to be very urgent. Pupils
who have good attendance record
are much the most likely to get per-
mits other things being equal.

WAR COUNCIL TO
PLAN LOAN DRIVE

The War Activities committee met
at the bank Tuesday evening and
laid plans for thoroughly canvassing
the entire district next week for the
Liberty Loan.
The voting precinct contains four
and half townships. As in the
Red Cross drive, each township is
divided into four districts. each dis
trict containing nine square miles,
and Lieutenant has been named
for each district. who resides In the
district l,
With each Lieutanant an assistant
has been named to go with him to
canvass every man In the district and
urge subscription to the third Lib
erty Loan.
On Saturday evening OF this week
1t is expected that these teams and
workers will meet at the school house
and get the information for the
drive.
The quota for this district is placed
at $l5.200.00. Raymer must reach
its quota.
II is not a begging proposition,
1t offers a safe investment for the
man who buys bonds at a moderate
rate OF interest.
The districts have been numbered
from the northeast corner Of the
district running west, and then back
to east, n the same order as sections
are numbered In the townships,
making three across the district from
east to west. and making Is dis
tricts in all.
The Lieutenants named for the
districts with their helpers are as
follows:
