EDUCATION LAWS TOO LOOSE
chiIdren's Bureau Of United States
Department OF Labor Oepiores
Some Exemptions Allowed.

Every state now has compulsory
day school attendance law according
TO information recently furnished by
the United States Department of La
Dor through the children's bureau. The
bureau has just completed an analysis
of education laws affecting child lat or.
the results of which are published in
chart entitled "State Compulsory
School Standards Affecting the En-
plOynunt of Minors"
In five states attendance Is required
until eighteen years of age. in two
of these in certain districts only; in
three until seventeen; and in thirty
two until sixteen. One state requires
attendance until fifteen, six others and
the District of Columbia until four
teen, and one state requires attendance
until the age Of twelve years. but
applies this to illiterales only.
Unfortunately, says tn" bureau, the
exemptions in the majority OF states
are so numerous that they greatly lin
II the application OF the law. The
most common exemptions are for EN-
plOyment or upon completion of a,
specified school grade Four states
specifically exempt for work in agri-
cultural pursuits, three with no age pro-
vision. Laws Of fourteen other states
contain loosely worded provisions ex-
empting child at any age, which
might be used to cover absence for
farm work as well as for many other
purposes. Several states exempt
child whose services are necessary for
the support of himself or others, with
out any age or educational provision.
The amount of attendance required
is still unsatisfactory In many states,
several demanding only IL, 16. or 20
weeks In a year. Even In states
where city children must attend for
eight or nine months. the amount of
attendance required In rural school
districts is sometimes considerably less.

An area equal to three times the
area of France. which Is 215.S95
square miles, could be cut out of the
province of Quebec and there would
remain an area twice that Of Hun

Thirty-four years ago August Hart
wig, brother of Mrs. August Reinke
and Carl Hartwig, Of this city, left
for Richardson, n. ID. Three days
after he had arrived in Richard
son he took a trip into the country
with a minister and in some manner
became lost. At the time he had
$500 upon his person. No reason was
given for his disappearance, and it
has always remained a mystery. On
April 9th Mrs. Reinke was reading
her German newspaper, when she ran
across an article telling about the
finding of a skeleton near Richardson
where a road was being graded. The
old residents of Richardson remem-
bered the strange disappearance of
Mr.. Hartwig, and therefore concluded
that the skeleton must be that Of the
poor man who had been missed thirty
four years before. Last Monday Carl
Hartwig left for Richardson to try
and complete the solution of the mys
terry and determine if his missing
brother could be accounted for. We
are reliably informed that about ten
years ago a fortune teller told Mr.
Carl Hartwig that he would some day
find his brother. Particulars as &c
the outcome Of this mystery will be
published in these columns as soon
as we receive the information.

A COUPLE O. RHYMES

Copyright, 1920
A FABLE

By Riley Ryck
a town there was where business men
Had goodly merchandise;
Most up-to-date the stock they had,
But did 0 advertise.
The merchants said, We'll save the
coin
Which otherwise we'd spend
For advertising and invest
1t to some better end"
The scheme they tried. No longer they
Informed the public well
Regarding prices, quality
And goods they had to sell.
No more they called attention to
Commodities they had
And for a time it seemed as though
The scheme was not so bad.
But soon the merchants learned this
truth:
The buyers wants to know
Where he can do the best and why,
Before he spends his dough.
And so they brought upon themselves
What always will befall
To men who do not advertise:
Their trade-they lost it all.
This couldn't happen in our town,
Our business men are wise;
They early learned the lesson in,
1T Pays To Advertise"
They know it pays no matter what
May be your point of view,
Because it helps the business men
And pays the public too.
