Parents Find That Children
Must Go To School.

|
Another roundup of delinquent children
who have not been attending public schoo
was made the past week by Attendance
Officer, Mr.. Franklin d. Harshman. Sew
eral weeks ago Blue Mountain and Catoc
tin Furnace schoold districts were inspect
ed and many children were found absent
from school.
This week Centre School, located al
Jimtown, was given cleaning up. Mr..
Luther Munshour is teacher of this schoo
and the monthly attendance reports of q
number of pupils was very poor. Mr..
Harshman had the parents summoned
before Justice Cadow of Thurmont, who
after hearing evidence in the cases i'm
posed fines on the following parents:
Mrs. Ed. Carlisle, one son, Arthur
Sunday, fine $l.00 and costs.
Isaac Stambaugh, one son, Walter
Stambaugh, fined $l.OO and costs. Mr..
Stambaugh is cosidering appea ling his
case.
Jas. R. Isanogle, son, Lester Isanogle,
fined l cent and costs.
George erosion, three children, Beulah
George and Ida, fined cent and costs.
Elmer Fisher, three children, Olive,
Francis and Nellie, fined 81 and costs.
Luther Reed, case'left open for investi-
cation.
William H. Naylor, Sabillasville, was
haf Tro ot q
child to school. The case was dismissed
on physicians certifica te authorizing abb
sence.
In the majority of cases parents be-
come incensed at the teacher because
they are arrested for not sending their
children to school. The teacher is not to
blame at ALL The school law compels
the teacher to report the attendance
each month, and their salary is withheld
until such report is in the hands of the
school board.
Strange too, that many parents who
do not send their children to school when
asked why. reply that "they don't learn
nothing" when they do go.
The county school board means bust
ness so you might as well get busy and
keep your child in school.
Must File Statement. E.
Hon. Joshua W. Miles, Collector of
Internal Revenue. has issued statement
calling attention to the fact that under
the present Income Tax Law all partner
ships ar e required to make return Of
income regardless of the amount gross
or net
This return must be made on a blank
form furnished by the Collectors Office
and known as Form 1865.
This is new fe allure of the Income
Tax Law and Collector Miles issues this
statement at this time in order that all
persons liable to file partnership return
may be apprized of the necessity for do
ing 50. He said:
Partnerships as such are not subject
to taxation under the statute, but ipdivid-
ual carrying on business in partnership are
taxable upon their distributive shares of
the net income of such partnerships,
whether distributed or not, and are re-
quired to include such distributive shares
in their returns.
The larger business concerns are prob
ably aware of the necessity of filing the
partnership return, but it is the great
number of small concerns which | fear
will fail to make this statement because
the necessity therefore is unknown to
such concerns.
These returns must be filed in the of
flee of the Collector of Internal Revenue
at Baltimore, Maryland, not later than
June 18th. Every partnership, without
regard to the amount of its gross or net
income, should apply to the Collectors
Office promptly for blank form upon
which to file its return"
