tho Congregrational churh was apropos
and worthful fixing clearly and unmis
takably the responsibility associated in
separably with our national prosperity

The Companys Latest Viaduct Offer
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 the company

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
