It waa formerly 11. Acting under Supt. Monro, attendar.ee officers began the work of enforcing the new law which is not generally understood by employers and parents. The officers are Carl Griffin and Miss Irene Van Slyke and they are associated in their work with Fred Barrows, director of vocational education in the schools. There are between T.SOO and 8.000 chu-dr.-. under the new school ajre limit, according to tho census.

herein, every child between the aces of ' and IS years shall attend public school, or other school taught la the Errrlish language which la opea to state and local Inspection. 3. Any child over 14 and under 16 who has completed the work of the first eight grades of the public school or Its equivalent nicy be permitted to withdraw from school upon the Issuing to such child of a lawful employment certificate. Am- child so permitted to withdraw shl return to school within five days 8 'tor the termination of the employment for which the certlllcate was :seu ?d. (3). "Any child attending the public srh"'-"! who has not completed the sixth grade by the age of 1 years may be re , ulred to attend part-time school or a soecial full time school. (4). o minor under H shall be employed or remitted to work In painful occupation other than farm labor or domestic service. It shall be unlawful for any firm or corporation to employ any minor of school age to work during school ho.:rs It shall be unlawful for any f.rm or corporation to" employ any minor between the ages of 14 rind IS to work without a. certificate from the school authorities. 3.

ESCPXiOTE&S' CEMmCATE The task of enforcing these laws has ben made easier by the recent census anJ a card index compiled by the attendonce officers. As a result of the work of the attendance officers in tho next few weeks scores of children will ic forced Into school who have heretofore escape-d attenCon. Tho certificates to employers are Issied by Vocational Director B.irroww only after the minor passes a physical examination. It is believed the attendance at the. hljrh school which Incorporates -the Sth grade will far exceed 1 -' before the end of this month. Work on ie ad

rushed to relieve congestion. Supt. Monroe said that the

public school system would be at wori; tomorrow. Heretofore the first week has been wasted In the delay of getting text books, he said, but under a no.-.? ruling of the school board the text books are being sold at the school build inii at the rates f.xed by law. The superintendent has also issued a price list for second hand text books in good condition and asks pupils to turn in oil text books on the purchase price of J;ew. the second hand books to be sold.

Coal Dealers, Hammond, Ind.

uenuemen: We have read and talked a good deal of a buyers' strike the coal dealer has been no exception to this, yhile we know that the consumers have continued to delay their buying to such an extent that it now appears that the situation may become very alarming in the next 30 days, we believe that the dealers have done all in their power to move some tonnage, bdt have, except to a smdl extent, failed in their task. The figures of 25 to 30 running time for operators since April 1, protray this. The Bituminous Coal production of the country is about 52,000,000 tons behind the normal annual production. It is necessary that some immediate action be taken so that we will net go bto the? winter unprepared. You are aware, no doubt, as in the past, that the first cold spell will empty your yards. We know that the railroads are not equipped to handle the demand for tonnage that will follow and this will again caust a repetition of last year, at which time we had a sellers' market. It is our suggestion that we all make one last effort to bring to the minds of the consumers the situation as it confronts the dealers and operators. With this in mind, we urge you to bring this fact to the attention of your coal buyers. Very truly yours, E. H. IRWIN, General Sales Manager. O'GARA COAL COMPANY, Chicago, 111.
