SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

The county welfare officer is planning to take
all necessary steps to see that the children in the
county who ought to be in school this year will
be there
It has always been a riddle to us why parents
have to be made to send their children to school.
And the riddle gets harder to solve when we find
that almost all the parents who allow their child
rem to stay out of school are uneducated them
selves 1t seems that the less education parents
have the more eager they should be to see that
their children take advantage of the opportuni-
ties that they missed.
Poor parents call it good excuse when their
children have no clothes that they consider good
enough. Without at least the fundamentals of
education, they can depend on it that their

children will never have any good clothes. 1t
is Tar better for children to go to school poorly
clad and get something in their heads with
which they can later make living and with
which they will be enabled to buy better cloth
ing than for them to sit at home in the rut that
they will probably stay in all their lives. 1t is
not the clothes that count in this business of
learning something 1t is the mind and the de-
termination to use that mind in the right and
best way that makes the matter Of clothes
small thing.
Lack of books cannot be used for an excuse this
year either. Grammar grade books are being
furnished free and high school books are being
sold at reduced rate. Many schools are even
furnishing food for those who cannot afford it.
And those who do not have enough to eat ought
to be the front seat at school every day learn
ing to read and write and figure in order to get
to place where he can earn his own food
Exchange
All in all, parents and children have hardly
leg left to stand on in trying to find an excuse
for not going to school this year and we hope
that those who do violate the attendance laws
will get little sympathy when they are prose
cuted

Love of money is said to be the root of all evil
but few get too old to love in that respect and
all willing to get right after the root of the
trouble. With connection at all, it is interest
ing to know that on the 21st of August the nat
ional debt was practically 81 billion dollars. A
million dollars has been donated in Pittsburg to
study and stamp out diabetes, and a naval cadet
has won a hundred thousand dollar prize in a
contest conducted by cigarette company.

There is rumor of a special session of Con-
gress to convene in November. There remains
a number of important matters that should be
cleared up by legislative action before new
Congress convenes the first of the year. Farm
and wage legislation ought to be off the calen-
dar before the January work begins, and there
are other affairs that need early attention. It
might be we'll for the home going congressman
to only partially unpack their suit cases.

1t is not so bad, however, to have nothing more
serious to do than worry about what Congress
and the President intend to do. If our represent
tatives do too bad, we can refuse to re-elect
them and the White House gets new tenant at
least every eight years. It is not thus abroad
The Chinese and japanese have declared all
game laws off so far as taking pot shots at each
other is concerned. Spain does not even have
to go away from home in order to get gun prac-
tice with living targets. In Germany, man has
to be careful how he prays, and in Italy the Duce
is ready to start the old time Roman conquest
stuff at the drop of the hat. Traffic cops may
bother us; taxes are unpleasant; our clothes
continue to wear out; and still have to put
food on the table three times a day, but on the
WHOLE we move toward peaceful autumn with
the thought that it is better to be in the United
States of America than in the countries men
toned or in some not mentioned.

Down Memory Lane
(With Edgar A. GueSt)

I remember only vaguely a little
home in Birmingham, England.
My Memory Lane starts there.
The beginning is very dim and
misty. 1t must have been in the
year 1886 or '87.
Until today 1 have said many
times that my memory began in
the United States, but that is not
altogether true for there are things
that even a small boy cheriShes,
and finds when he comes to man
hood he has kept in his mind
against all the efforts of time
and the confusion of life to OBJ
literate.
Of that English home about all
I can remember is the fireplace
and the mother reading to me
what I still think to be the saddest
of scenes from Shakespeare. 1t
is the scene from King John in
which Hubert has promised to
burn out the eyes of the young
