Notice has been received in school
circles calling attention to change
in the compulsory education law
which was made during the last ses-
sion of the legislature. The notice re-
ceived at this office, says the change
makes it necessary for all children
between the ages of and Is years to
attend school instead of between The
ages of s and 16 years as the law
formerly read. The remainder OF the
notice reads as follows in substance:
This law does not apply to children
over Is years of age who have com
pleted the eighth grade or may be
eligible to enter any high school or
where such child is self dependent or
supporting its parents, nor does i ap-
ply to children who are physically or
mentally unable to attend school. It
is necessary that a reputable physi-
clan shall certify to a child's bodily or
mental condition in case such child
shall be exempt"
The law requires the county super
intendent of schools, Mrs. Caroline
w. Flood, to hear and determine all
applications of children desiring to
be exempted from attendance at
school, and if such superintendent is
of the opinion that an exemption
should be issued to such child stating
the reason for such exemption. An
appeal may be taken from the decision
of the superintendent to the probate
court and the decision of the probate
court shall be final. Application foI
release from the provisions of the
| mpulsOry education law need not
be renewed only once in three months

TAKE SCHOOL
CENSUS NOW

The 1922 term of schools in most
of the rural schools of the county be-
gan Tuesday. Teachers for the Curley
Creek, Round Prairie and Addie
schools have not been secured as yet,
the teachers originally elected not
having been able to qualify. Miss
Lucille Lipps, of Lapwai, Idaho, has
been elected the teacher of the Cow
Creek school and will arrive here Sat
urday. school for the term opening
next Monday.
In the Curley Creek district it was
not planned to hold school this year
on account of the few children in the
district Several new families have
moved into the district and there are
now ten children of school age in the
locality.
Mrs. Caroline W. Flood, county SUI
perintendent of schools, calls atten-
ton to the fact that the annual school
census is now being taken by the
clerks of the various school districts.
The census includes all persons be-
tween the ages of six and 81 years who
are bonafide residents of the district
or county and it is highly important
that each person of school age be
registered as the state and county
apportionment of school funds is made
on the basis of the number of per-
sons of school age in the county or
rural school district Newcomers in
each district should make sure that
the names of their children are turned
into the school district clerk in order
that the district may have the benefit
of the increased number of children.
Mrs. Flood states that the enroll
ment of pupils in nearly all of the
schools of the county is larger this
year than it has ever been before.

Grows Tobacco Successful,

G. J. Daufau and family, of PorthiII,.
were visitors in the city Tuesday. Mr..
Daufau has been quite successful in
the growing of tobacco on his ranch
near Porthill and has crop Of 800
pounds grown on about quarter of
an acre of land. He claims that tobac-
co can be made a profitable crop in
this section. The question that is con-
fronting Mr.. Daufau, however, is
whether or not, under the strict laws
of Idaho governing the sale of tobacco,
he can dispose of his crop in small
quantities, many people prefering to
buy pure leaf tobacco rather than the
tobacco manufactured into cigars,
smoking and chewing tobacco.

Now the epochal rapidity of its
transition from that invisible vi
bration Of thought to the present
massive, material, actual success,
is impressive evidence Of the ire
mendous and genuine value to
humanity of this new creation.
No merely ordinary undertaking
could have encompassed such
growth - no device Of limited
range of service to mankind could
have won such a following. AS
gears form essential components
of mechanism used in practically
every walk of life andby all classes
of people from richest to poorest,
this new process of gear produc-
