Death, according 10 Dr. william

purely accidental.
The lad was an athlete, but barred
from football on account OF an affoo-
tion OF one OF his ears. In order TO
build up the neck muscles. ho had
rlgged up an apparatus in hts bed
room. with which he exercised every
night before retiring II comprised

his mother went TO his room 10 call
him and upon opening the door found
his limp body hanging by the rope
from the pulley IN the ceiling.
when DR. Brien saw the body he
concluded that tho lad had taken his
own life, but examination OF the ap-
paratus showed that the rope had be-
come fouled IN tho pulley sheaves and
the manper in which tho hook was
twisted was mute evidence Of the
boys struggle for life when he found
that his apparatus had worked the

The state department means to make
the slogan, Every child in school
every day a literal fact, not merely
a fine phrase or sentiment. Mrs. Ma
bel X. I'rooien, county superintendent,
says that there seems to be some mis-
understanding concerning the length
of time children must attend school,
The law states that children must at
tend school regularly from the ages
Of eight to sixteen. unless prevented
by sickness. After a child has com
pleted the sixth grade. authorities may
grant permission for the child to at
tend only 16 continuous weeks, bu,
such permission must be formally
granted by proper authorities. Eight
years of continuous attendance a
school are required and all parents
who violate this are liable to prosecu
ton and fine. 1t is the duty of every
person knowing of a case of delin
quency to report it to the county
superintendent.
