Compulsory School Attendance

During the past few years, New
Hope has become very lenient and
perhaps neglectfnl in enforcing the
compulsory school attendance laws;
especially so during the past two
years due to war conditions. However
a continued practice of this nature
would in the near future result in
about 80 per cent of the children leav-
ing school and going to work as soon
as they become IA years of age, which
would mean that New Hope would
have no High School. Up to the pres
ent time it has been custom Of En-
ployers to hire minors whether they
possessed a permit or not and in no
case did the employer supply himself
with the necessary permit to IRE
New Hope like other to7--1s7 cf its size
should wake. up TO the necessity Of
having good school and assist in
every possible way especially in the
very important way, send your child
to school"
The Board of Education at q recent
meeting decided that all minors, under
16, whether employed or not employed
shall Immediately report at school
Only those who are granted permits 4
on certain conditions will be excused. I
Last year had printed in the New
Hope News all the Acts pertaining to
the Compulsory School attendance ami /
the employment of Minors. AS l see
it no attention was given it and it was
entirely disregarded The time has |
come to act Parents of New Hope |
give your support in making your
school one of the best in the country |
Send your children to school and urge |
your neighbor to send his child and |
there will be only one solution to the |
whole thing; New Hope of the future
will be truly New Hope, better
place in which to live and a commun-
ity of worthy citizens. l sincerely |
trust that every one will do what
he can and cooperation will bring us
success. Those who disregard the not
ice will be prosecuted according to
the law

Why Batteries Can't Last Forever

Most people can understand why
tire wears out, or why bearing
points of car work loose, says Mr..
Butts, Of Pennington local Willard
Service Station Dealer, "but they
don't quite see why battery should
wear out"
"Of course the main trouble is that
it's harder for anybody to imagine
a chemical process than mechanical
one, and the battery is strictly chem
ical".
"There's not much inside battery.
About all there is to it is set of
plates with insulators between each
pair, and solution that covers both
plates and insulators. These plates are
simply lattices of metallic lead fill
ed with lead compounds The insula-
tors may be wood or Threaded Rub
ber".
Before battery can be used at
all it has to be charged. The electric
current coming in, causes certain
chemical changes. When you turn on
your lights or step on the starter,
changes start in the opposite direct
ion and supply you with current.
'"Of course this constant changing
back and forth will wear out bat
terry in time, just as contact with the
road will wear out a tire. And even if
the battery is in storage and is kept
charged, some wear will go on, as the
chemicals are all present and are
never absolutely idle
"The way to get the longest life
out of your battery is to keep in mind
the fact that its life depends to a
great extent on how well you treat
it, and to remember to add water and
make hydrometer test at least once
every two weeks"
