that it is the parents duty to carry

pupil by the teacher during the time
the child is at home.
The speaker further said that the
city as well as the state is greatly
interested in the welfare and educa-
ton of It's children, as no community
and no state can be measured in
quantities Of its mercantile and bus
mess establishments. but by Its
educational system. 1t Is the duty Of
