ANCESTRAL HOME VISITED
People Of Carlisle. England, Give
Warm Welcome.

Carlisle, England. President viii.
son, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson.
came to Carlisle Sunday in rain and
a cold, penetrating mist to visit the
girlhood home Of his mother. But
the warmth of the greeting OF the
people Of the town and the thousands
OF strangers from the surrounding
country more than offset the dreari.
ness of the weather.
The president visited Annetwell
street, where the site OF his late grand.
fathers chapel was pointed out to him
and the house in Cavendish place that
was built by his grandfather. Later
he attended services in the Lowthet.
street congregational church. Here
during the services the Rev. Edward
Booth, pastor of the church, requested
the president to come into the pulpit
and address the assemblage. This the
president did, delivering a short
speech, in which he touched simply
but elouuently on his mother.

COunterfciterS in Cave.

Macon, Ga, May 14.--Discovery
Of counterfeiters' den in noun
tain cave here to-day leads the police
to believe that they have found a
clue to band Of counterfeiters who
have been flooding this section with
spurious coin for several months.
John Wells, owner of the property on
which the cave is located was placed
under arrest and is being held for ex-
animation.
The officers came on the cave ac-
cidentally while pursuing with
blood-hounds a man charged with
car robbery. The dogs led the Off
GERS to a cleverly concealed cave.
where a complete outfit for making
counterfeit coin was found. The
paraphernalia was confiscated.
Wells was given a hearing before
United States Con,missioner Printup
and held in $500 bond.

These forms will require a mass of
printed material. but the legislative
printing committee will secure the
delivery Of the blanks time.
The compulsory attendance law
requires that all children between
the ages Of eight and fourteen years
shall attend school during four con-
Secutive months, or eighty days, each
year. The State Board Of Education
has recommended that the term of
compulsory attendance begin in each
district with the opening of the pub
lie schools Of the locality. 1t is hoped
that every board of district trustees
will adopt this recommendation in
order to secure the maximum num-
ber of pupils promptly as we'll as the
maximum attendance. Classification
and gradation Of pupils will be great
ly facilitated by this policy.
No Months Designated.
The General Assembly, however,
refused to designate . specific
months Of compulsory attendance,
and the State Board did not feel
authorized to fix ruling in this con-
nection. The opening Of the schools
in each community is regulated by
the local trustees. The practice va
res widely in the various communi-
ties Of the State. Not few districts
run summer terms. In the tobacco
counties the summer term Is impos-
sible. Cotton picking also affects the
opening Of many schools. A definite
rule for all the districts Of the State
can hardly be laid down unless the
recommendation Of the State Board
is approved. Certainly the schools
ought to run when the majority of
the pupils can attend
In city and town schools, and in
country schools running eight or nine
months, this compulsory attendance
is bo;h logical and feasible. The
di!llcu'ticS in other districts are neg
liSible when compared with the re-
sulting advantages TO teachers. the
schools and the pupils.
The interest i'm this problem is
Statewide and enthusiastic. The
state superintendent hopes to be able
to announce the fun list Of attend
ance officers in the very near future.

enforcement OF the compulsory at
tendance act will be taken by the
several county boards Of education
this week. In each county the attend
ance officer must be selected by the
County Board Of Education, and his
name must be reported to the State
Superintendent Of Education by May

ties have already reported their Sc
lection to superintendent Swearin-
gen.
The State Board of Education has
ordered that in every county the at
tendance officer shall be ready to EN-
ter upon his duties June /. Both men
and women are eligible for this SER
vice. Several county boards have
selected women for the work. In
cities having a population Of 1000
or more, according to the census of
1910, the local boards OF district
trustees has the option Of appointing
a district attendance officer for the
schools Of the city in it's discretion.
There are in the State some % such
incorporated places. The school au-
thorities Of each Of these cities have
been requested to make their choice
promptly between the county attend
ancc officer and the district attend
ancc officer. The decision of the
local trustees should be reported 10

time for the decision to be acted up
on before May -. Wherever no city

TO Take school Census.
The first duty Of each attendance
officer will be to acquaint himself
fully and accurately with the terri
tory. This knowledge will be abso-
lutely necessary to the taking Of a
correct school census Of all children
between six and If years during the
calendar months Of July and August.
This census must be taken by school
districts The meets and bounds Of
each school district are determined
by the County Board of Educa ton.
Wherever these boundaries have not
been definitely marked out, the lin
its should be settled promptly. If
this is not done, confusion and con-
troyersy will inevitably follow.
