HAVE COMPULSORY MEI1HCE IT WR, JOYNER'S CONSTRUCTION HAS THE APPROVAL OF THE ATTORNEY; GENERAL. VVHAT HE SAYS ABOUT LAW The State Superintendent More Rhet- orica? in Statement, Pernaps, But - Not Less Emphatic in His Construc tion of the School Law. KaleiKh. That North Carolina has a state-wide compulsory school attend- anee law that is effective and not one that is optional with the county boards of education is tue construction that Hon. J. Y. Joyner, slate superintend ent of public instruction, puts on th compulsory attendance, law, passed by the recent legislature, which was reported to have been so amended a; to leave the whole matter of com pulsory attendance optional with the county boards. Mr. Joyner's construction has - the approval of the attorney general. He reported that the amendment that war reported to have the effect of leaving the application of the law optiona' , with the county school boards really permits the boards to make changes in the machinery for attaining the at tendance of all the children of the school ages prescribed; but prescribe? that " this attendance of the childrer for the four months of each year must be enforced. In other words, the county boards can change the ma chinery for attaining attendance, but are none the less required to enforce this compulsory attendance. Furthermore, insistance on the par? if a board of county school commis sioners that the whole matter is op tkmal with them, it is intimated, might result in the whole amendmen' being thrown out as unconstitutional, in that the legislature could not dele sate legislative power to the county boards. Therefore the machinery to compulsory attendance prescribed li the act would have to apply. Edgecombe Teachers Meet. A very interesting and instructive meeting of the Edgecombe Teachers" Association was held at Tarboro re cently. This being a meeting of mucl importance, owing largely to tlu schedule address of Prof. X. V. Judd -county superintendent of Wake, thr teachers of the county attended in large numbers. Professor Judd's sub ject wai; "Conservation" and he dem onstrated his ability to handle it in r very creditable manner. The keynote of his address was social service, and the possibilities of the teacher as p ntolder of the character of pupils, and the development of their dormant pow ers was ably set forth.

A Confederate soldier holding a thir ty dollar pension and now serving j terra in the penitentiary, will doubt less lose his stipend uhder the attor ney general's interpretation of the law. The Confederate is Charles Hon cycutf, of Yancey county, a man ir Ihe peTenties, who was convicted last year of a crime that called for fivf years in the penitentiary. Treasurer Benjamin R.
