COVER ROUTE OF PROPOSED TRUCK TOUR

lt. C. Ridgway, the tour organizer. and Jerry Wolf, tour advance mm. left rriday to c'jvcr the entire route of tho trip to be made from April 23 to May 3 by the local truck dealers to demonstrate the u? of the truck on the farm. R J. .McGoo. the tour director, will remain in iSouth Uer.d to assist Ir. the completion of the arrangements that arc being made locally. Mr. Ilidgway and Mr. Wolf will meet with committees In the various towns to be visited cn the to.:r. These committers will plan full schedules of work for tho trucks to do when they arrive In those towns. It planned to hae the farmers submit lists of work that they desire to have the trucks do. John lineman, who ha-s been named as tour master, will afign the trucks to thn various tasks. Thousands of circulars will be sent out to the surrounding towns announcing the tour to the farmers of northern Indiana and southern Michigan within th- r.ext few days.

Glenn Trickel Is 14 years old. and is in the sixth grade at the Parley school. But Glenn does not want to go to school. Harry Trick! Is 10 years old. and he al-o dislikes to attend school. John Trlckf 1 Is employed at th Ptudebak'-r plant. H is the father of tho two boys, and he confesses his inability to keep th'm in school. The father was arraigned in city court Friday morning on a charge of failure to keep his children in school. He told Judcre Gilmer that he leases home- for work at 6 o'clock in the morning and does not got back home until 7 o'clock at night. Bchool authorities told Judge Gilmer that Glenn is a bright boy, nnd that something should be done to keep him in school. The school authorities say that the boy would rather work thnn attend school. Since school began for tho present

semeter in January, Glenn has been'

absent 4 3 das, and Harry 25 days out of 1")0 days. Mrs. Tricked, the boys' mother, tokrnhe school authorities that Glenn is beyond their control. Glenn told the school authorities the same thing. "What to do with Glenn is something that is worrying the school authorities. Ills teacher says that the boy has a good mind, and that to allow him to quit school at this time would be criminal. They do not believe that either he or his brother, Harry, should be allowed to stay out of school. Judge Gilmer appeared determined to fme the father in city court Friday. Deputy Pros. George A. Schock took the view that perhaps the

parents of the Loy can find some way in which to keep their children In school, and asked the court to continue the case for two weeks In order to trive the parent an opportunity. The father and mother and the two boys were ordered by Judge Gilmer to Appear In court two weeks from Saturday, May 1, and if at that time It is shown that the boys are regular attendants at their classes, and the prospects are good for their continued attendance, the case atrainst the father will probably be di?mis!ed. On the other hand, if the irregularity should continue, and it becomes apparent that the boys are beyond their parents' control, then the Judge may fine both parents, and order the children taken from them. The school authorities expressed themselves as anxious to find some method whereby- parents will be brought to the realization that it is for the benefit of their children to exert every effort to keep them in school without inoking the criminal statutes. However, they are determined that children of school age, where there is no valid reason for them not being in school, shall be regular attendants in their classes. Judge. Gilmer end Deputy Pros. Schock declaro that they will cooperate in every way with the school authorities for the best interests of the children. The case of Glenn and Harry Trickel is only one of numerous cases of like kind encountered by the school authorities. Tarents do not compel their children to attend school, and then they wonder why the law steps in and punishes them.
