(Continued from Ist page.) taught, is a great step in the right direc- tion, I believe in it, and I believe it is { the duty of school directors to see that it is enforced. I apprehend that in the country dis- tricts, there will be more difficulty in carrying it out, than there isin the towns and villages, for the reason that the population is scattered over a larger territory, and the knowledge that the children of such and such persons who have been returned by the coming within the law, is not in attend. ance 1s more difficult to obtain, more trouble to reach the secretary the board or the attendance officer. Fortunately, itis the few, and only the few you will have to deal with in your townships. The people being native born, thrifty and industrious, desire that their children shall obtain all the educa- tion they can, and they willingly keep them at school. The few who do not send, should be made do so. You will be met most frequently with the state. ment that the children do not have cloth es fit to go to school in. Then what are youtodo? 1 can only suggest, as a di- rector, I would omplain to the overseers of the poor, and insist that proper cloth- ing be furnished at the public expense Clothing too poor to go to school in, is too poor to wear at home The law is made to fit the ag communities. While the open six mouths, the compulsion reaches four. So if farm work done, and the lad between eight and thirteen can do anything, be ie excused from s« hool.

Clearly the teach er is to do the excusing in this instance, This assumes that the child has been in the school, and when once there, the excuse is to be made to the teacher ; and if it shall appear, for instance, that the child was sick, or there was sickness in the family, especially of some contagi. disease, the child did not have proper clothing, the cause is sufficient, and the child or children in that situation should not be reported secret who were fory excuse for which Here we are who is ne the mg Lu be to do section ous or If. however, the teacher has any dou as to the correctness of the for non-attendance, the matter should be re. ferred to the board The secretary or the attendance officer if there is one, of any hoard of directors, who willfully refuses or neglects to com. ply with the provisions of the act, shall reason : Le guilty of a misdemeanor and subject | to a fine of twenty-five dollars, | 1 now have gone fairly well over the | various provisions of this act of assembly, and while it may not be all we desire, it | | is a step in the right direction, and can | be enforced. It is not for us to spend | our time searching for difficulties and io. | consistencies in the law, or means toevade any of its provisions, We should get | down to real work. Men who are fitto be directors, will find remedies for most of the questions that arise under the law, | when they meet them. Few people in. | deed will want to punish directors for | trying to get their children to school. | To help you in carrying it out, a few | blanks for the use of the secretary and the teacher, would be very convenient, First one, called the ‘Secretary's Official Report.” On this, the secretary certifies to each teacher in the several districts of your township, the names of all child- ren whose age make them subjec the provisions of the law, Teacher's Official Monthly Report,” on which the teacher reports to the secre- tary the names of all children originally given to them by the secretary; and third, “The Secretary’s Official Notice of Ab- sence.’”’ This to be sent by the secretary to the parents or guardians, ete., notify ing him or them of the absence of child ren in their care. to | Second, “The | Fach of the notices have printed there- on the se tion of the law relating to the | duty of the secretary, the teacher and the | parent, They are convenient and cheap, and while doing duty are teaching every- one into whose hands they come what the law requires, and should be supplied | at the cost of the district. Blanks such as I have mentioned, can be obtained from H. G. Philips, Directors and Teach- ers Publishers, Williamsport Pa. : | i | i { I come now to another part of the ques. | tion under discussion, ing What are youdo to carry out the law ? - | No board or | school directors has the right to sit down, | and law say it cannot be carried out. upon the Statute books, and as men sworn to the faithful performance of is our duty, we must do whatever we can to | | as follows enforce the law both in letter and spirit I can only speak for the board to which I belong and say, so far, it has done all it reasonably could to carry out the pro- visions of this act of assembly. Being in a town, and the districts thick. | ) ly settled, the people within easy reach, I am of the opinion that in some way we have the advantage over the r districtz.
