A LEAK 10 BE STOPPED

Did you know that right in the
teeth of all the need for economy in
the conduct Of State affairs, the
State Of Vermont wasted half mil
lion dollars last year IN its educa-
tional work? Yes, wasted it, threw
it away, good tax.money.
How was this done? by providing
school-instruction for Vermont chill.
dren whose parents did not take the
trouble to see that they went to
school.
This statement can be verified by
the simplest possible arithmetcal
sum, by taking the cost to Vermont
o years schooling for a child, and
multiplying it by the number Of chill
dren in Vermont who last year
Simply did not take wat. was provid
ed for them. Here is a leak that
ought to be stopped And the par
euts OF school-children are the only
ones who can stop IT,
Did you ever think that every
time a child is kept away from schooI
without serious cause, good money
is being wasted? 1t is your money
toe You have paid. you, every tax
payer for running that school. the
state has put in more money out Of
other peoples tax.paying to pay fol
an expensive special instruction fol-
the teacher; the teacher has giver
years of her life to get ready lol
teaching that child who doesn't come
to be taught
An immense amount OF thought
time, effort, and a great deal Of
money have been spent to get thai
educational meal ready to be con
sumed, to set the educational table
for the little guests who stay away
Such wastefulness IS not at al
characteristic OF the sensible, thrit
~ thoughtful, leyel-headed way il
which we Vermonters manage on
either affairs. Probably It comes
from the fact that we simply have
not realized how foolish and short
sighted it Is to permit children to be
irregular in their attendance a
s,fool
Who are the children who are mos
irregular at school? They are usu
ally the ones from the poorer fam,
lies, with a meagre home life An,
those are the very ones wlo mos
