MUST ENFORCE UM Supt. Jovner Rules That Boards Can't Evade Compulsory Law. FOR THE SCHOOLS And the Attorney General Con curs With Dr. Joynerin Con struction of l aw. Raleigh, March 28.—Hon. J. Y. Jovner, State superintendent of public instruction, makes an important ruling as to the force and effect of the compulsory school attendance act of the recent Legislature. It follows : "A conservative State-wide complsory attendance law was passed by the General Assembly of 1913, requiring attendance for four months continuously each year of all children be tween the ages of eight and twelve years, allowing reason able exceptions and providing inexpensive machinery for its enforcement. The following amendment to this bill was adopted and made section 11 of the act : "The board of education of each county shall have the power at their regular meeting held in July of each year and there after at any regular meeting to make such rules and regula tions as they may deem best to secure the attendance of all children between the ages of eight and twelve years upon the schools of the county, and such rules and regulations, when ap proved bv the superintendent of public schools and posted at the court house door and at the door of each public school house in the county, shall supersede any provisions of this act in con flict therewith." "On account of a natural mis construction by the press of the Stata in its reports of the mean ing and effect of this amendment, erromss there is a widespread but opinion that any county board of education can. at its pleasure, set aside and practically nullify this act. In my opinion, the amendment does not by any means nullify the act. It is still obligatory upon every county to provide for compulsory attend ance: in fact the amendment itself states its purpose to be "to secure the attendance of all j children Letv\e?n the ages of eight and twelve years upon the schools of the county." No county board of education, there tore, is authorized to adopt any rn es or regulation different from ttie provisions of the act thai will riot secure such attend ance. I'his amendment which is made section 11 of the ac* must tie eo. strued vit i th i tlier secri'»iis of the act so that all may stan 1 together if pos sible. and so as to accomplish its clearly state I purpose of secur ing tie attendance of al! child ren between the ages of eight and twelve year, upon the s -ho !s of ihe count*'. "In my oj.i i m therefore it is i learl v an enabling instead of a disabling section of the act applicab e or ly to the machinery tor the enforcement of tha law fir securing compulsory at t -ndance, allowing discis sion in the modification of this machinery so as to meet the different conditions in dif ferent counties, but conferring no power upon the county board to revoke or annul the general and fundamental provisions of the law as set forth in the four 1) for Results Esi-1885 O KOYSTERSFERTILIZERJ Chickens 11 Cents Per Pound. Boyles Mercantile Co.,ft N c: sections thereof, or to defeat the purpose of law as clearly set ! forth therein reaffirmed and | emphasized and in the amend-1 ment itself "to secure the at- ■ j tendance of all children between j the ages of eight and twelve' years upon the schools of the county. "If the purpose and effect of this amendment should be con strued to authorize the county boards of education to annul a law passed by the general as- j i sembly, and in effect enact ' another law in lieu thereof, then the amendment would de facto confer legislative power upon the county board of educa tion and would therefore bej clearly unconstitutional. It would sjem to be clear that the amendment is not to destroy the ! law but to give flexibility to i its administration. This is my construction of this i law. In this construction the attorney general concurs. Underj section 4090 of the Revisal 1905 all school officers in the various counties are required to acceptj the state superintendent's con ' struction of the school laws. "Therefore this construction of compulsory attendance law will hold until overruled by the courts of North Carolina. The purpose of the whole act to secure attendance of all children be tween the ages of eight and twelve years is so clear and the provisions of the compulsory at tendance law are so moderate, reasonable and conservative that I earnestly hope and believe that most of the county boards of | education will fipd it unnecessary ; and undesirable to make any; material change in them, and will co-operate heartily in the enforcement of the law practical ly unchanged."

A FRIEND. I ; "I suit'ered with rheumatism j ; for two years and could not get! my right hand to my mouth for I that length of time," writes Lee 1 L. Chapman. Mapleton, lowa. I"I suffered terrible pain so I j could not sleep or lie still at night. Five years ago I began using Chamberlain's Liniment 1 and in two months I was well I and have not suffered with rheu matism since." For sale by all r dealers. I . i Mr. Thos. Petree, of Walnut Cove, spent Tuesday night here. It Paid Guilford. In the fact that since bonds were issued in Guilford, pro perty in that county has shown an increase in value to the amount of more than 300 per cent, the good roads advocates are finding an argument that counts. The income from taxes in Guilford was $72,000 in 1902. It is now $261,000. And good roads did it. This is simply a case of history repaating itself. -Charlotte Observer. Mr. J. N.
