SAYS LEGISLATURE PASSEDG00D LAWS Superintendent Asserts Benefits Will Come From School Acts.

TO CHANGE COURSE

Employers Must Sign Certificates if Child is Not in School.

'The recent session of the state lsgislature passed more legislation for the benefit of the public school system of the state than any other leg

islature for the past thirty yearB," said County Supt. C. O. Williams. "The time has passed when farmers and others can keep their children home from school on the grounds that their eyesight or hearing is bad.' The state now provides that all children shall be kept in school up to the age of sixteen years and schools for deaf and blind children will be maintained at the expense of the state where children desiring an education may remain until they are eighteen years of age and must remain until they are sixteen. The best law enacted by the legisature according to Mr. Williams is he Vocational training law. The law provides that in all schools in the tetate there shall be a domestic science and an agricultural department. Shop work and manual training is to fe optional with the schools. Course Changed Here. The course of study in all schools in jk Wayne county will necessarily be changed. The agricultural department jWill make the township schools more popular with the farmers, the local authorities believe. A certain amount of the vocational training is compulsory on the part of the students fthough a large per cent is optional. The courses taught in. various counties will vary and each county will accept vocational training If it applies to local conditions. In Wayne countj a specialty of agricultural and manfual training will be maintained. Strict Truancy Laws, i The truancy law provides that every child shall attend school up to the age of 16 years. The child may be permitted tp remain away from 'school providing a certificate can be obtained from a reputable physician stating that the child's health will not allow attendance. Any child between the ages of fourteen and sixteen years of age may be permitted to remain away from school If It la necessary for the child to sustain himself or members of his family. The permission to stop school must be obtained from the city, town or county superintendent. The child must receive a statement from his employer specifying the kind of work the child is to perform and what his hours at work are. The salary must -also be specified by the employer. Should the child for any reason be dismissed or quit the employment of the person for whom he is working It is the duty of the employer to notify the superintendent from whom permission was obtained for the child to stop school. No child under the age of sixteen years will be allowed to -stop school unless he or she has eomIpleted the work of the fifth grade.

The Servant Problem. There was but one cook in the intelligence (why do they call it that?) office, and two housewives were bidding for her services, with fire in their eyes. "Come and cook for me," said one, and you won't have to work on Thursdays and Sundays." "Cook for me," said the other, "and you won't have to make your own bed." "With me you can entertain your friends In the parlor." "I always give my servants my best clothes and wear the old ones." "You don't have to wash and wipe the dishes if you take the situation with me." The first housewife was desperate. "Come with me," she exclaimed, "and you won't have to cook." Kansas City Star.

Took Tim at His Word. "That cigar of yours," said the passenger with the chin beard, smiling genially, "has burned about half Its length down one side." "So?" frowned the man with the curled mustache, turning bis head slowly and looking at htm from bead to foot. "Well, that Is the way I like my cigars, sir." So when a spark from his cigar fell on the skirt of his new sixty dollar overcoat and proceeded to burn a bole In it the man with the cbin beard reflected, "Perhaps that's the way he likes his overcoats," and said nothing. Chicago Tribune.

A Distinction. "How do you pronounce the word p-a-p-a. Miss Jibley," asked Hlckenlooper "pup-paw or popper? 1 am writing an article on 'How American Girls Speak.' " "Why, I say pup-paw, of course." replied Miss Jibley. "1 want to distinguish my father from my fin nee. who Is my popper." Harper's Weekly. A Qonlu. "So yea Insist that your boy Josh Is a genius?" "Tea." replied Farmer CorntosseL "1 don't know exactly what a genius Is. But we've got to give some excuse for his not doin any regular work." Washiagtea Star.

SWAT THE FLY EARLY. "It takes ten days for fly eggs to become adult flies. Ten days of feeding intervenes between' the birth of the fly and its beginning to lay eggs. Each female fly lays 150 eggs at a time about every ten days and lives to lay six batches. It Is assumed that half the progeny are females. Now let us see what these facts work out in figures. Test the following figures, which are based on a . season when the flies begin to lay eggs. May 1: May 10 152 May 20 302 May 30 11,702 June 10 34.302 June 20 911,952 June 30 G,484,700 July 10 72,280.800 July 20 325,633,300 July 30 5,746,670,500 "This would equal about 143, 675 bushels of flies from one pair in three months. If we continue the breeding through August and September, the figure is 1,096.181,249,310,720,000,000,000.000 house flies."
