County Superintendent N. G.
Layton was a visitor in the city
Tuesday. The judge is looking up
the reason why so many children
do not attend school. According
to the last school census there were
IKS children in this district of
school age and at present the aver
age attendance is hardly 100
pupils. There is something radi
cally wrong somewhere and this
move by Mr. Layton will undoubt
edly develop some good results.
Arizona has very few residents
who are not able to send their
children to school, while the great
majority are far more able to do so
than the people of some of the
eastern states. Possibly the fact
that money can be made more eas
ily here has something to do
with this non-attendance, but what
is money compared with even the
commonest school education? Send
your children to school, there is
plenty of time for them to gather
in the sheckles later on.
The show at the rink last Satur
day night, aside from the views
bhown by the kinetoscope, was one
of the "punkest of the punk."
How some people get the idea that
they have talent in the theatrical
line is a mystery. Manager Silver
nail, as well as the good people of
the town, was imposed upon and it
is needless to say that the next
troupe of the Burton fc Baker var
iety that stops over will receive a
cold reception.
The new buildings belonging to
Poison Bros, and Jas. Walsh are
being rapidly completed and though
work on them was begun fully a
month after some of the others, at
present it appears as if they would
be ready for occupancy first.
Superintendent's Notice.
From monthly reports coming
from the different school districts,
it appears that about 45 per cent
of the children enumerated in the
last school census reports, for some
reason, are not taking advantage
of trying to get a public school
education.
This is not as it should be. Par
ents are standing in their own light
when they neglect this important
matter, when education is so cheap
and the facilities so much better
than when some of the older gener
ations had to walk from two to four
miles every day and sit on the flat
side of a rail in the "Old Log School
House" and many of those same
people who labored under those
disadvantages are now among the
brightest people of the times.
A little sacrifice on the part of
parents, while their children are of
school age, will not be regretted in
after years.
There is a compulsory school law
on the statute books which will be
put into operation in the near fu
ture, if it is found to be necessary.
This law does not apply to parents
who absolutely need the services of
their children to help sustain the
family, or who through sickness or
poverty are unable to send their
boys and girls to school, but it does
apply to those who are able and re
fuse or neglect the opportunity.
This does not apply to any one dis
trict, but all, alike.
N. G. Layton,
County Superintendent.
