concerned over the problem OF
keeping children OF school age out
OF the fields. Most OF the children
not attending school are from
families OF illiterates who don't see
much sense OF book learnin' any

from 10 TO 80 days or both. This
penalty is applicable 10 both the
farmer and the parents. There IL
also a federal law with much
stronger teeth. The federal Law
provides for fines up to $4,000 or
6 months in Jail. or both.
