SCOTTSDALE. Sept 8. All chil
dren' in this district between the age
of eight and 16 must attend school
the full nine months. Principal L. O.
DuRoss stated yesterday. The last
legislature passed the present law
and the state officers want it en
forced. This law does not excuse
anyone coming within the age limits
unless they are excused by the
school board. -
Now that tha government Is going
to help finance the picking of cotton
for . the farmers of the district
through the cotton growers' associa
tion there is no excuse for anyone
keeping their children oua of school
to work. An attendance officer will
be appointed, to have full power to
enforce the law, but It Is hoped he
will have no occasion to enforce it
In this district.

domestic science in the grades and
