Provisions of Compulsory School Bill Which it is Believed Will be Passed by the Legislature To Compel At tendance ef Children Between Ages of 8 and 14. As mentioned in Monday's Robe oni:in, it is thought that the com pulsory school bill introduced in the Hot l-'c Saturday bv itepresentative Ray, of Macon, will be the one that the .Legislature will pas.-, hence it be comes of special interest to every citi zen of the State. This bill has been tested since lyt3 in Macon county, tyhieh was the first in North Carolina tg. adopt a compulsory school attend ance law. Quoting from the Raleigh News and Observer in regard to this hill: "The bill by Mr. Ray provides that jirj -juirent, guardian or other person having the control of any child or children betwec-n th ates of eiiVht. Jtnil fourteen years, shall be required send the said cnild or children to for children, beginning with the open- ' ing of the term annually, for a period ! equivalent to at least three-fourths of j the public school term in the district, I wjerein said child or children may reside, subject to the following excep- ' ,ions: i "Any case where the child has been I taught st home in such branches as ! are taught in the public schools for the length of time required, or whose ! nhvsirnl r mental r-mwininn rn,Ws i his or her attendance impracticable or who shall be excused by the school committee of the district in which the parent, guardian or other person hav ing control of such child resides, said vcornmittee being authorized to ex cuse any parent, guardian or other person having the control of the child, between the ages of eight and fourteen years, on account of pover c.ly to clothe such child properly, or that he or she has already acquired the ordinary branches required by law, or that there is no white school in the case of white children, or no colored school in the case of colored children, within two miles by the nearest traveled road. "Failure on the part of parents, lriji r1 l!i r fi nr nthr linviniia Vii-inir tharge of children of the prescribed age, to comply with the requirements punishable with a fine or imprison mnent, or both at the discretion of the -w-yurt. it is made the duty of every public i-chool teacher to keep a strict record of all children in school and those of prescribed age on the census roll, I .oui noi in scnooi, ami to report, me .-ame to the county board of educa tion on blanks furnished by the State hoard of education. The report shall contain also a statement as to wheth er dilatory guardians have been ex cused by the school committee, a statement of the actual time the ab sent child has not attended school. Such report by the teacher is to be transmitted by the board of education "to the superior court at its next term for trial of criminal causes, and the report shall be turned over to the so- 1 licitor. The teachers are to certify their reports on oath. The countj- Joard ot education is empowered to .appropriate out of the school fund of the county a limited amount of mon ey, to provide books for any child in a '-choul district, whose parents or cuardian is unable from poverty to provide books. Such appropriation is to be made upon recommendation to the committee in the district where it,e parent or guardian resides. "Mr. Ray being asked what is the principle difference between his bill and that introduced by Representative 1). P. Dellinper, said that his bill pro vides machinery for the enforcement of the law, while that of Mr. Delim iter does not provide sufficient ma-! chinery. The age limit in Mr. Del linger's bill is seven to twelve years. SPRING AND WINTER WED. A Veteran of 70 Takes a Bride of 15 Another Marriage Farmers Busy What's in a Name?

No Reason Why Robeson Should Not Have Them How They Arc Built in a Florida County That is Not So Populous Nor Wealthy as Robe ton. To the Editor of The Robesonian: It always gives me much pleasure to read The Robesonian. It keeps me in touch with all the good citizens of the grand old county of Robeson. 1 note there has been a lot said about the condition of public roads in the county, recently. Hope the roads are not in as had condition as they were in the winter of 1912. There is no reason why Robeson should not have good roads. I wish to mention how roads are made in Dade county. Fla. There are no roads in the world that will go ahead of the roads in Dade county, and furthermore there is, no place where roads would be harder to build, for most all of the county is deep white sand. The methoU of building roads hereis with a soft crushed stone just laid on top of the surface of tne ground with a large roiIer machine run over it to set the stone together. Auto trucks are used to hi?ul the stone with. Now the question wul rise, we haven t the stone and this is an expensive way to make roads. But it is true that every section of the country produces its own material. The soft stone in North Carolina will make good roads without tho.se dangerous ditches on each side of them. And wnen a road is properly built it is not to be built any more. it is frightening to see the auios and motorcycles run over the roads here. They make from 40 to 90 miles an hour, over a deep sand bed, and a rock road with practically no dust, and there is nothing like the popu- lation and wealth in Dade county as . i ; ; ri. T.r4.i. . there is ii nuwiwii, .hu diuima, but "take it from me, they don't let a good thing get by them here. Dania, Fla. L V. H. Jan. 18, 1913. Out Regan Way McNeill LItprary.

HEALTH AND HYGIENE. Births and Deaths to be Registered House and Senate Introduce Bills to This End Some of the Provis ions. Bulletin State Board of Health. The Model Statistics Law has just been introduced in the Legislature. Representative Williams, of Bun combe, introduced it in the House, and Senator Hobgood, of Guilfford, intro duced it in the Senate. Within recent years a number of States have adopt ed substantially the same law on vital statistics. Each year improvements are made in this law until very re cently it has become known a3 the Model Law. The bills now before the Legislature represents the 1913 edi tion of this Model Law, so, if passed, North Carolina can boast of the best vital statistics law in tho country. Some of the provisions of the bill are that all the births and deaths oc curring in the State shall be regis tered, In the xase of deaths the name, age, sex, coior, conjugal condi tion, occupation, cause 6T death, edu cational attainments, etc. are requir ed. This information will enable State and local health officers to com bat disease; it will settle many legal questions, point out the hsalthy and unhealthy places, prevent crimes, etc. In the case, of births, the name, sex, color, etc., are required besides valua ble statistical data about the parents. Such records will soon be invaluable for legal purposes; they will prevent violations of the child labor laws and school laws and do much to prevent child marriages besides directly put ting an end to much needles3 blind ness, and furnishing information of inestimable value for workers and students of race questions, social re forms, etc. In fact, if this bill is passed it will doubtless prove one of the most important and far reaching laws enacted by this session of the Legislature. Fresh Air Indoors. It is important thaft indoor work ers' have goorGtSbvr workers can get it without trouble, but indoor workers are compelled to rely upon ventilation. By ventilation we mean some arrangement or device whereby fresh outdoor air is admitted into the room and bad air taken out. The best ventilation cannot make the indoor conditions quit as good as they are in the big outdoors, for the reason that indoors your air supply is lim ited to the size of the room. The important tiling in a workroom is to have a con stent supply of fresh air coming" in and the bad air going out. This will keep up ai good circula tion, and should give you: a good safe; room in whiea to work. There is thrg difference between food and airs and that is, the air we breathe is invifrible. s that we cannot ;use ur eyes to tell whether it it good , , . . jv . n ?.or riaa, wild iooa we ran mi. usaany, by looking at it, whether re rs dean and wholesome. Unfortunately, we car not aeecffrty air as we can dirty fewd. And be cause this is true, mot posple are unmindful of the kind of air they breathe, though they may be ever so nice and particular as to- the kind of focal they eat.
