then school and town authorities
should take hand. The writer is
sure that town council will assist
In this matter to the extent that the
police force may be utilized in ex-
acting regular attendance at
school. Police should be instruct
ed to pick all children of school
age found on the streets and taken
TO school and handed over to the
principal. Where parents are so
dumb as to let their children stay
out of school, a good stiff fine will
correct this. This is a serious mat

late attention of both school and
town authorities.
