Accompanied by an Expensive Maintenance Proviso The latest offer of the Burlington raii road company to close tho road and crossing incident at this place by erect ing a viaduct south from Manhattan st the prebont crossing and road through the companys extensive yards at this place delighted every McCook citizen desirous of a satisfactory and equitable adjustment of the questiou until closer inspection made it plain that the offer included a proviso that tho city of Mc Cook must maintain the viaduct The proposed viaduct would be about 1400 feet long 20 feet wide and it is estimated would cost about 25000 Having no expert figures at Land wo are not able to state what the cost of maintaining such a structure would av erage annually but the expense- is placed as high as 1000 annually This figure if even approximately correct would bo prohibitive for tho city of McCook im possible The council Mouday evoningdeclined to take any action on the proposition on the ground that they are enjoined so the matter seems to be up in the air as far as before unfortunately An undrground crossing south of Min nesota street and about south of the West school building is also contempla ted by

Tribune to do your printing orf pfy W W4II Jv McCOOK RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA FRIDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 30 1906 The Compulsory School Law To School Officers and Parents Inasmuch as tho compulsory school law is not well understood I deem it a duty to give an outline of its require ments that a better knowledge of our sevoral duties may be had in order that there may be but little reason for not complying with the requirements of tho law In order to bring out the points of the law we shall ask questions and ans wer them 1 Upon whom does this law place the responsibility of sending children to school Ans Upon parents o r other persons having legal o r actual charge or contrul of a child 2 What is the penalty attached for violation of this law Ans A fine of 5 to 25 3 Whose duty is it to enforce tho law Ans It is made the duty of the county superintendent in all districts other than city districts 4 Whose duty is it to inform the county superintendent of any delinquent attendance Ans The principal or other teachers of schools and the mem bers of school boards 5 What are the ages of children who are compelled to attend school Ans Children from 7 to 15 years old 6 How long must such children at tend school Ans Two thirds of the entire time in which school may bo in session in the district in which such children reside providing that no child attends less than 3 months in any dis trict EXPLANATION A district having 3 months school children of compulsory age must attend school the entire time A district having 4 months school children of compulsory age must attend not less than three months A district having 5 months school children of compulsory age must attend not less than three and one third months A district having 6 months school children of compulsory age must attend not less than four months A district having 7 months school children of compulsory age must attend four and two thirds months A district having 8 months school children of compulsory age must attend not less than five and one third months A district having 9 months school children of compulsory age must attend not less than 6 months EXCEPTIONS TO THE ABOVE LAW The above law does not apply in any case 1 Where the child is for an equal time as above specified instructed in some private or parochial school 2 Where the child is instructed for an equal time at home or elsewhere by a person qualified to teach in tho public schools 3 Where a child of 14 years old is of necessity employed for his own support or the support of those dependent upon him 4 Where the child is either physical ly or mentally unable to do the work of the school 5 Where the child lives more than 2 miles from the school house by the near est travelled road unless transportation is furnished by the district of such child As noted above it becomes the sworn duty of the county superintendent to enforce this law and yet in fact there should be no trouble anticipated as reasonable conditions are given wherein children are not compelled to attend Of course if pome parents will not listen to the requirements of the law there will be cause for action and yet if it be found necessary that tho law shonld be enforced let it be understood now that no malice or hate will enter into the action of the superintendent but every legal and persuasive means will be used to secure obedience to law first and no personal offense to parents will be in tended but the responsibility is upon us to enforce the law Cordially Flora B Quick Red Willow County Superintendent COURT HOUSE NEWS COUNTY COURT Marriage
