OF the most enjoyable evenings she
has ever spent at an affair of the

that the entertainment more than
does credit to the talent of the town.
Perhaps there was an added zest to
the performances. due to. the fact
that the women were endeavsring to

the week before with an original IN

CHILDREN OF SCHOOL
ACE MUST ATTEND
SCHOOL

Because of certain discussion and
controversy in regard the authority
Of the Superintendent of School to
require parents and guardians to file
written excuses for the hardness or
absence of pupils under their control
at school, that has taken place in
Sheridan county during the past win
ter, County SCpt. Crone publishes
the following opinions and law upon
the subject in order that the people
may know the law and guide them
selves accordingly. Children must
go to school and they must 90 regu-
larly and be on time and it is the
duty of the County Superintendent of
Schools TO see to- it that they attend
school. The enforcement of the school
laws are for the benefit of the child
rem, and all good citizens will assist
IN their enforcement. The man who
keeps his children out OF school is
r0bbing those children.
THE LAW
Published by Request of Emma Crone
County Supt. Of Schools
Plentywood, Montana.
Dec 10Th, 1928.
Miss Emma Crone,
Superintendent of Schools,
Plentywood, Montana.
Dear Madam:
You have requested my opinion as
to your right to demand written ex-
cuses for absences of children from
school.
Since in Section 1877 of the Mon
tana School Laws for 1928, we find
the following provisions:
First, that "in districts not ap-
pointing a trUant officer, it shall be
the duty Of the County Superintend-
ent to act as tTuant officer" second
that 'the truant oficer-shall have
do whatever may be
necessary, in the way of investiga-
IIon or otherwise. to enforce the pro-
Visions CT this chapter" third, that
1 ne trCant officer shall institute pro-
ceedlngs against any officer, parent, !
guardian, person or corporation viol- |
atlng any provisions of this chapter, |
and perform such other services as
the superintendent of schools or the /
BOARD Of trustees may deem neces- I
5ary to preserve the morals and Sc
cure the good conduct of school /
and to enforce the prOvi /
SONS OF this Chapter" fourth, "that I
he truant officer shall keep a record
If his transactions for the inspection
md information of the superintend-
mt Of schools and the board of trus-
ees III districts not having superin-
endents, as often as required bv
llm:" and fifth, chat suitable blanks
or the use of the truant officer shall /

i trustees; it is therefore my opin-
ON that the County Superintendent II
4 Schools is within her authority in \
written reasons for alb

ION and as matter of record.
