nally presented provides for the full
term, and the effort is to have q mini
mum term Of seven months for all the
schools in the State, and to this end
the Senate has passed what is known
as the Lancy bill The House, by wA!
Of compromise, passed the Statc-wi'
compulsory education bill but with an
amendment that required attendance
for only four monhs, and in this
shape there were only five votes in
the lower house against the measure.
The reduction Of the term was not al
together satisfactory to all Of the ad-
vocates Of the measure, but it was
thought best to let 1T stand at four
months, first, to get the system started
and then probably the Senate will in
crease the term for which attendance
Is required, and if the system should
work, as it is expected, subsequent
legislatures can increase the term as
they have increased the age limit for
children or reduced the supply of

vocatcs arc inclined to press some Of

been somewhat responsible for tho
sentiment in favor OF a constitutional

There is no question about the fact

LEGISLATURE WORK

Compulsory Education, Good Roads
and Taxation Three Vital Questions.

and Taxation Three Vital Questions.
Columbia, Feb. 1.-THE legislative
sessions of 1919 has progressed sunl-
ciently far to demonstrate several
things. First, it has been clearly
shown that there is no symptom of
partisan feeling. For years and years
the General Assembly has been very
sharply divided into factions. Year by
year these lines have been growing
DINNER and DINNER nntil now they
are almost entirely oblitcrated. and
about all you hear is che used to be"
or this or that faction. There has not
Deen single debate in which there
has been any mention Of partisan line.
on the contrary, the effort has been
to forget and forgive. The manifest
purpose of the General Assembly IS to
DO some constructive work, pass the
general appropriation BILL discuss the
conditions of the state generally, enact
all the local legislation that Is ncces-
sary, quit and go home In previous
years there have been the distractions
or partisan politics, elections and trips
lhls year there has been no partisan
politics, no elections to amount to any
thing and no trips. There has been
the fear Of influenza, but it has not
seriously nterfcrrcd with the session.
and the work, it may be stated, is well
advanced. Mcrlbers have their views
very we'll formulated with reference TO
the pending legislation, particu]arlv
that OF serious character, and they
are ready to act, and the appropria-
lion Dill Is about the only thing that
is now in the way. and all Of tho
hearings on this have been concluded

most important questions, compul-
sorry education, and the overshadow-
ing tax issue. whether or not the tax
