NEW GOVERNMENT
fadcrcwski Confident That Coalition
Ministry Will BE Formed
for Poland.

Washington. Jan. 3-Messag ges
received by the Polish bureau here
from the Polish national committee
at Paris said that Ignace Paderewski
was increasingly confident that a
new Polish coalition ministry would
be formed and the government plac-
ed on a stable basis Officials of the
bureau feel that the attack on Mr.
Paderewski by the Bolsheviki will!
strengthen his influence among the
people OF Poland.
Polish officials in this country had
feared that an attempt on the life OF
Mr.. Paderewski would be made by
the Bolsheviki as the object OF his
mission was to set up a strong re-
preventative government. Mr.
Paderewski himself was said to have
been fully aware of the personal risk
he took in visiting Poland.
According to the message from
the Polish committee at Paris, Mr.
Paderewski's personal relations with
ptHtIdl IllSuuShI, i uedu Ol the pTeS-
ent Polish government. are on a sat
isfactory basis. Mr.. Paderewski
made it clear to the military dicta-
tor that his opposition was based on

ganized.

COMPULSORY LAWS.

COMPULSORY LAWS.
Back in the early ages when we
used to read law, we remember hav-
ing come across the statement some
where that the courts consider as
done that which ought to be done.
or that which is ordered done.
Sometimes legislatures are like
courts in that respect. and that is
perhaps the reason why no provision
is made for the enforcement of many
laws the legislatures pass. A law
requiring children up to certain
age to attend school a certain num-
Der of months in each year, or re-
quiring parents of such children to
send them to school, is of little value
if notice is not to be taken of its
violation. But perhaps. the legis-
lature, like the court, feels that il
ought to be done, and so passes it
along as done. That is possibly an
easy way for the legislature to dis
pose of the business, but it is not an
easy way, or any kind of way. to ed
ucate the masses.
A compulsory school attendance
law ought to have teeth" in it. II
ought to carry penalty, but il
should not be so severe that the peo-
pie will feel that they are being
driven to do thing. 4 man would
much prefer to do a thing OF his own
accord than to be made to do it.
The machinery by which compliance
with the law is brought about should
run smoothly, not rough-shod over
the people, but the man who will not
comply should be made to comply.
A compulsory school attendance law
which does not compel school attend
ance is worthless.
~ The Columbia State says: For
the average good citizen of fair in
telligence, no compulsion to educate
his children is needed. He sends his
child to school and co-operates hear
tily with the teacher The minority,
who from ignorance or selfshness
or both, keep the child at home to
work or are too lazy to look after
them. is. however. considerable in
numbers
The new compulsory attendance
law the passage of which We think,
is already assured, should provide
for attendance officers and shou d
clotbe the school authorities with
full powers to get the child into the
school and keep him there.

Miss Eleanor Moody Has Plan TO Read
Selections from Best and Most
Interesting Juvenile
Writings.
WORK ALREADY BEGUN
She viii Visit Public Schools and Pu-
pills Can Get Books at Public and
School Libraries If they
Like Them.

With the idea in mind of interest
ing children in books really worth
while, and to prove to them that
good literature is far more attractive
thar the common, trashy variety
chapters from some of the best of
the children's books are going to be
read to the pupils of the sixth and
seventh grades in the public schools.
The plan which was inaugurated
this week in three Of the schools was
suggested by Miss Eleanor Moody,
librarian at the Keokuk public library
upon her return from Waterloo,
where she attended the state conven-
ton of librarians. The plan has been
successful in Waterloo, and in the
main follows the plan in use in
cities where there is juvenile de-
partment in the library, or a school
librarian.
Miss Moody's suggestion was pre-
scented through Miss Elizabeth Dun
lap, a member of the library board
and principal of the Garfield school,
and was accepted by school authori-
ties. 1t is this. Cuttings from the
really good books VIII be read TO the
pupils OF the sixth and seventh
grades. The selections will be from

children's stories. The time allotted
In that time there is opportunity

are read will be on the shelves at
the public library, or in the school
library The request of pupils for
these books viii show TO what ex-
tent interest has been aroused 1t is
planned by this very sensible method
to show the young people of the
grades that really good books are
well worth their consideration
Selections are being made from the
books which are not only of high
plane but which are interesting as
well to audiences OF this age No
book will be read from just because
it is so called "high-brow." Ii must

schedule to cover all Of the schools

has had a very interested audience

her efforts will be watched with con
siderable interest at the library.
