Compulsory Education,
The conditions of our educa-
:don systeir* has reached that
point where the people were of
:r:8 opinion that it was necessary
,;o force an attendance at our
Schools for the Children
:^vr.g' from eight to twelve
.• ■•vifH of ag'e, for a period of four
TM.nths during' each yeai\ This
2s.r;0'ild r.ot have been necessary
■;n r!,s great an industrial nation
•■nd as a progressive p>eople as
r/e are, but it is necssary. This
^aw must be enforced, because
it is a very necessary condition
:hat now confronts us. It is a
■■^"lurence to see loafing’ uqon
J3i;” streeta during: the regular
iv'/iOOi months a large number
>f boys tha.t should be in school
irj,rtndance. However, aadition-
2J. -rouble is confronting us. be-
iiaase many of these boys are
I'ver twelve years of age and
is no authority execized
-;.;v them except that of their
own parents, which in many
eases is far lenient. We have
■larefully observed for the past
Hvi’ and numbered by the hun-
u-'i'ds boys of our town and
30 ;mty ranging from the ages of
iwe^ivs to eighteen who are year-
y dropping out of our schools
an incomplete High school
fducation. Not enough to fit
them for college much less pre
pare them for life. When they
reach their maturity as far
^3 years in concerned they be
gin to search very diligently for
some good job that extends
mo^ pay. There is no job with
■vith good pay for them because
they are not qualified for any
work except that of the usua
iay laborer and i’^ many cases
rhf-y h'ave Ui.'t bo ’?i trnined for
'iiaiV t'4l, ov tr> uukind treat-
V.: :.: 'y,,! un'.nouguted I^’ather
>r uh^u\^T. I’he result of all this
3a l-i-.i'.gy dab s of regular joafers
■’lat .are now lounging upon our
being supported by their
father. Mother or gambling acts
dr low lives of vice nature. Har-
/est time will come soon or late
and will gathe*’the tares, weich
will be burned by the Judge
Supreme. Many a Father and
Mother will spend night after
night in sleepless agony grieving
aver the wayward steps of an
mtrained, non educated, lazy
ambitionless boy, with the final
exclamation that they cannot
'mderstand why it is that he
^j^ould appear in ,a gamblers
or a drunken broil or harb-
■r^ed in a den of vice. This is not
