THURSDAY. OCTOBER 13. 1955 THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina PAGE SEVEN WELFARE DEPARTMENT ENCOURAGES ATTENDANCE Law Forbids Children Under 16 To Work In School Hours; Causes Of Non-Attendance Are Investigated Ways in which the Moore County department of public wel fare can encourage better school attendance, in cooperation with public school authorities, were discussed at a meeting of the wel-, fare board last week, reports H. G. Poole, of Carthage, chairman of the board. There is no special school at tendance officer in Moore County and the welfare department is re sponsible for enforcing the com pulsory school attendance law, said Mrs. W. B. Cole, welfare su perintendent, who is asking aU agencies and the public generally to help in this task. Children come to the attention of the welfare de partment upon referral by the school authorities after careful screening of the reasons for ab sence. “The law is clear in requiring all children between the age of 7 and 16 to attend school and in provi ding for legal enforcement of this attendance, both on children and their parents.” Mrs. Cole said. “However, we want to investi gate the causes of nonattendance and remove them if possible, rath er than to invoke the punitive provisions of the law. We ask the cooperation of the public to this end. “Many children are out of school because of individual or social maladjustments,” Mrs. Cole said. “Economic or other problems in the home, are causes of nonattendance. These and oth er areas of need make the service of the public weKare department important in achieving and main taining tegular school attendance. We want the children of Moore County to have the advantage of pur good schools and to attend them regularly.” Services Aid Attendance Some of the services cited as .available through county depart ments of pqblic welfare which contribute to regular school at tendance include: , 1. Conferences with children who are absent and with their parents to determine causes of ab sences and ways to eliminate these causes. 2. Determining mental capacity ,of children unable to benefit from .the regular school program. 3. Providing psychological serv ice through the School Project plan and to children referred for clinical service. 4. Cooperating with the juvenile judge (in this county, the clerk of court) in providing services to children with special problems, including behavior difficulties. 5. Cooperation with the courts in determining legal custody or guardianship of children. 6. Issuing employment certifi- ,cates to minors in keeping with child labor laws. 7. Providing financial assistance when need exists. 8. Certificiation and referral for OLD Stagg BOURBON special services, such as crippled children service, orthopedic clin ics, eye clinics. Cerebral Palsy Hospital, and other medical and hospitalization needs. 9. Providing casework service, in connection with problems of family relations. 10. Providing service to chil- idren needing care and protection through adoption, foster home care, specialized institutional placements, and other social serv ices appropriate to meet the needs of the individual child. Message lo Parents Mrs. Cole this week issued the following message to parents, es pecially to farm workers, to ex plain the school attendance law and the welfare department’s part jn enforcing this law: . 1. Why your children should go to school: Education helps your children. All children need educa tion. Your child hcis a right to education. Schools give children p better chance to be good, re spected citizens. 2, A new law gives your children time to go to school: Children un der 16 are not allowed to work in the fields during school hours. This law is the same everywhere in the United States. The school attendance law applies to children working on their parents’ own farm. , 3. Everyone should know about this law: The social workers of the Moore County Department of Welfare may talk to you about the school law and the child labor law. They are your friends. They want to help you and your chil dren. 4. Your employer must obey this law: The .Labor Department man and social workers may talk to your employer. They will tell him not to let children under 16 work in the fields during school .hours. Children under 16 may work before and after school and in vacations. 5. Help your employer obey the law: Do not let your children under 16 work in the field or at any other employment during school hours. Send them to school instead. Children over 16 may work at any time in the fiqlds. Have papers with you to show your children’s age.
