FRIDAY JULY 18. 1913
On another page of the JOUR
NAL you will find published the
Compulsory School attendance Act
as passed by the General Assembly
of 1913. This act and the six
months school term act were passed
largely by reason of the pressure of
public clamor and public sentement
that was brought to bear upon the,
members of the Legislature. Both
are excellent laws and have been
needed in this state for a number
of years. But as is usual, it is nec
esrary, in order that the best effects
may be obtained, that they be
strictly inforced and backed up by
public sentement There is not a
child in Jackson County that can
not nnder ordinary circumstances
attend the schools. If parents either
negligently or wilfully allow their
children to abent themselves from
school then it is clearly within the
province of the state to see to it
that the parents are forced to send
their chii ren to school, and under
the compulsory school attendance
act is that under it no child com
ing within the ages specified is al
lowed to miss more than three days
from school in any month unless
he has a valid excuse. No child
These questions will be given in
full in the Journal and we give only
a brief outline now so that the peo
ple may begin to think about them.

EXPLANATION OF PREMIUMS
OFFERED AT WOMEN'S IVST1T01ES
The following explanation in re
gard to the premiums that we are
offering to the girls and women liv
ing, on the farm for the best; exhib
its of bread and school lunches at
women's institutes may be of value
to the would be exhibitors.
The .school lunch exhibit is open
to women over 18 years of age only.
This ruling will be strictly adhered
to. In either exhibit the exhib
itor must sign a statement,
giving name, postoffice address and
ae. whether she is over or' under
18, stating that she made the bread
or prepared or prepared the lunch,
place this information in an envel
ope, seal it and place with the ex
hibit By this means the judge can
be sure of getting the name and
address of the exhibitor.
The school lunch is deserving of
more consideration than many pa
rents give it. Childhood is an im
pressionable age and great care
should be exercised as to the in
fluences that are brought to bear on
the child during this critical period
in its life. Influences that to us
grown people seen small may leave
an impression with children' through
out their lives. For this reason we
j should be exceedingly careful as to
the kind of influences that surround
our children. Cleanliness and neat
ness should be among the early im-
the child. The school iuiicn is a
good means of impressing the child
with these habits, or perhaps I
might say virtues, for they are vir
tues. The school lunch should have
three characteristics, appetizing,
nourishing, and easily digested. A
normal child of school age requires
considerable food to meet the de-
