I.OOK AIl ] AD.
'Vcl1 begun is half done and
well planned iR half manned.
Last ) e lr every district in thc
county was given a Special Day
ProgTam. ' These programs were
not given to the teachers and
hence should have been left with
the director at thc close of last
years work. If YOU do not have
a copy possibly your director has
one for you. Ask him Now is
thc tim to begin to plan to ob-
serve the special clays set apart
for us. What is the purpose of
them and what is thc good de-
rived ? This catt bc easily an-
swcrcd. As to thc observance of
these days , it need not always br
elaborate ] ; indeed , it is usuall
bctterif it be simple , something
more easily preparcd. On thc
. the most important days , it might
be well to have more elaborate
programs. But some simple pro-
gram , with a clear idea of thc
purpose of the clay set forth , is
thc best way , and from it wc
shall obtan thc best results.
IPUJ.SORY ATTENDANCE LAW.
Because the numerous queries
.
- - -
-
. . . . . . . .
on the part of thc teachers , \ve .
wish to enumerate again the more . . . .
important articles of they new .
compulsory attendance fa w. Brief-
1) it is this : rl'l1(1t all pupils between =
twecn thc ages of seven and fif-
teen shall attend school two thirds'I
of thc time that school shall be I I
in session in thc district of their ' .
residence , such : attendance to be- _ '
gin with thc first opening / of be'j , 'j #
school and continue cons 'cntivelr
until such period is completed.
The exceptions : granted arc ; for
children \ vho live more than two ' . . I
miles from the school , those that
halve a certificate of graduation . ) ,
from thc 8th grade , those mentally . '
1) unsound , those physically nn- _ I
able to go U his would ] require a
physicians certificate ) and a child ij
of fourteen who is clepeuclent up-
on his own effort for his supporter oj
or who has others dependent -
upon .
on 1littt. tl'ite parent of any child I . \1 \
not attending school ) according to ; .f\
the terms set fourth above should ]
have a notice from the director. II
If this notice is not complied with ,
withLl one week , then it is the lj
director to make complain before
the justice and thc parent shall be
fined no less ] than five nor wore i
than twcnty-fivc dol1ars. In case j
thc director fails to perform his 1 :
duties hc Jays himself liable'to a 0 , , , , , . '
fine in thc same amount. It : is ,
hoped that each teacher will ag'i" ' t
tate this matter to the utmost
since it is so manifestly to the . in- '
tcrcsts of her school to have the . .
children in attl'ndancc in thc beginning -
'
ginning pf the term when thc
classes arc being formed , it will "
greatly aid this office also as even .
with all thc report at our nom- . ' : _
gland , it is a sorry job to try to ' . .
keep track of some six thousand , I
children scattered over an area of \ -
.
512 square milcs. . '
