No. 32
RESUME OF SCHOOL LEGISLA
TION ENACTED THIS TEHM
The State School Department sends
us the following: We are enclosing
n resume of school legislation enacted
by the 50th General Assembly. This
possibly does not include everything
touching upon school matters, but
it does include all of the most im
portant measures, as follows:
Senate Bill No. 324, provides for
an increase in salary of 50 per cent
for County Superintendents through
out the State of Missouri. This bill
was signed by the Governor on
March 28, and carried an emergency
clause, therefore it was in effect at
the time of the election of the Coun
ty Superintendents on April 1.
Senate Bill No. 559. Passed and
signed at the same time as No. 324.
This bill effects St. Louis County
only, and fixes the salary of the
County Superintendent at $4,000
per year.
Senate Bill No 17. This is the
new Compulsory Attendance Law.
It provides that every child between
the ages of seven and fourteen shall
attend school regularly for the en
tire term, and between the ages of
fourteen and sixteen they must at
tend unless actually and regularly
engaged for at least sl. hours
each day in some useful employment
or service. As a'means of enforce
ment, this law provides for a county
attendance officer being selected by
the County Superintendent of schools,
placed under a bond of $1,000 and
being paid a salary not to exceed
$4.00 per day for each day actually
engaged in the discharge of his
duties and his actual expense in
curred. This attendance officer is appointed
for the entire county and has authori
ty to arrest and place in school,
children who are not in attendance.
He may bring action against the
parent or guardian in any court of
competent jurisdiction. Only chil
dren mentally or physically incapa
citated or who have completed com
mon school courses and receivod
certificate of graduation are exempt.
Teachers shall report non-attendance
direct to the County Superin
towns and cities may employ sepa
rate Attendance Officers and pay
them from the funds of the district,
otherwise the County Attendance
Officer will act In these districts.
This is considered the best Com
pulsory Attendance Law in any of
the States, and we see no reason
why this should not greatly increase
the attendance in this State, as it
is made the duty of the State Depart
ment of Education and of all school
officials as well, to enforce this law.
Senate Bill No. 335 provides for
the apportionment of school funds
upon the basis of the previous year's
attendance in case of an epidemic
huch as has existed this year. In
structions are going forward to
County Clerks and County Superin
tendents as to the method of carrying
out the provisions of this law.
House Bill No. 570 provides the
necessary appropriation for carrying
out the Smith-Hughes Act, estab
lishing Vocational Schools.
House Bill No. 571 provides for
part time schools, to be established
in any districts in' the rftate where
in there shall be issued and in full
force and effect not les than twenty-five
employmer-t certificates for
children under sKtean years of age.
This bill provides that such child
ren fchall attend these part time class
es for not less than four hours per
week for so long as the schools are
regularly in session in such districts.
When such schools shall have met the
standards of the Federal Act and the
standard established by the State
Board for Vocational Education, they
shall be entitled to share in the dis
tribution of the Federal funds avail
able under the provisions of the Fed
eral Act. The Compulsory Atten
dance Law applies to part time
schools.
Senate Bill No. 449 provides for
the legal creation of the existing Ne
gro Industrial Commission.
House Bill No. 414 permits the
State Superintendent of Schools to
pay to the Teacher-Training In
spector in the State Department a
maximum salary not to exceed $2,
500 00 per year.
House Bill No. 391 amends Sec
tion 10,797, Revised School Laws,
pertaining to tax levy for erecting
school houses by adding the follow
ing provision, namely, "when the pro
position to be voted on refers only to
repair or furnishing, or both repairs
and furnishing such school building
the proposition shall be doomed (o
have been carried at the election if
u majority of votes cast are cast in
favor of the proposition.
Senate Bills Nos. 378 and 482 pro
vide for the payment of tuition for
children attending high schools out
side of the district in which they re
side, in certain counties having a
population of eighty thousand or
more, and two hundred and fifty
thousand or more respectively.
House Bill No. 1009 provides for
an appeal from the diclsion of the
County Superintendent to the Judge
of the Circuit Ciurt in cases of re
voking certificates.
House Bill No. 48 provides for es
tablishing of schools in any district,
under certain conditions, for child
ren who are blind, deaf, crippled or
feeble-minded.
Joint and Concurrent Resolution
No 18 provides for the submission of
a constitutional amendment at the
next general election, allowing rural
districts to vote $1.00 for school pur
poses on precisely the same condi
tions that cities may vote $1.00.
Under provisions of House Bill
No 1071, the general appropriation
bill, the State Department of Educa
tion was given additional help in the
way of two Rural School Inspectors,
and an addition to the clerical force.
This, we feel, will be of material as
sistance to us in carrying out the
work of this department.

The first fatality of the swimming
season occurred yesterday afternoon
about three o'clock when L. B. Holt
Jr., fourteen year old son of Luther
B. Holt, former grocer of this city,
was drowned while in bathing with
a bevy of youths at this favorite
swimming hole. He had attempted
to follow one of the smaller boys
who had swam across the Chute, be
came exhausted as he neared the op
posite bank and sank in water about
fifteen feet deep in spite of the efforts
of Herman Friderich, one of his
companions, who endeavored to res
cue him.
Word of the tragedy was soon
brought to the city and a number of
people went to the Chute, which is
situated about four miles below the
city, and his body was finally lo
cated and brought to the surface by
Jeff Rogers, after diving several
times -in search of it. The deceas
ed lad was unusually heavy for his
age, weigntng uuout iys pounds, we
are told, and it was with some dif
ficulty that his body was brought to
the surface.
Young Holt had been employed
at the post office as special deliv
ery carrier since the school term
closed and was an industrious and
likable boy of whom everybody thot
well. His death cast a gloom over
his youthful associates here and
comes as an especially hard blow to
his parents and other members of the
fondly, to whom It was so unexpect
ed and apparently un-calledlfor.
The fatal occurrence probably will
have a tendency to discourage the
practice of bathing at this deep and
nlore or less dangerous place, too.
Funeral services have been set for
this (Tuesday) afternoon at the home
of the family on West Sixth street,
conducted by the Baptist minister,
Rev. W. H. Setzer, after which inter
ment will be at Little Prairie Ceme

In addition to the above mention
ed bills, a bill requiring common
school districts to pay high school
school tuition where no high school
is provided in their district, failed
of passage, as did a bill empowering
That Much Assured.
A somewhat Impecunious youns fel-
' low rashly engaged himself to a charm-
I ing young thing, who shortly after the
I excitement had subsided hogan to
i evince doubts. Said he: "How long,
dearie, do you tl.ir..: -vo shall bave to
be engaged?" "Well, sweetheart," said
the young man cheerily, "I have
enough money to last for si- month"
I think."

ley were united in matromony Mon
day evening by Rev. Newsom. It was
a quiet affair, only two of Miss Da
ley's friends being present, Miss Nan
nie Mitchell and Fred Thornell.
The Herald join their many good
friends in extending congratulations
The first of a three-game series
between Caruthersville and the Mem
phis Goodbars was played on tho Ca
ruthersville diamond Sunday and re
sulted in a cleanup for tho local
crew by a score of seven to four.
Despite the rather high score, thi3
has been -declared one of the very
beat games ever played In Caruth
ersville and it was witnessed by the
largest crowd of the season so far,
there being just a few under six hun
dred spectators there, and of this
number almost two hundred were
present from this city.
The Goodbars are leading tho city
league in Memphis this year and they
comprise some of the best players
in and around Memphis. This an
nouncement that this would bo one
of the best games ever played in
Caruthersville was made in perfect
good faith and developments show
ed that the assumption was correct.
Patterson pitched a good game for
Caruthersville and his support was
never better Likewise Bcnham de
livered good stuff from the Mound
for the visitors, getting more strike
outs, even, than did "Pat," but his
crew could not co-ordinate their
work so well as did Reiney's men, it
seems, for they secured nine hits to
Caruthersville's eight. Out of tho
eight Caruthersville netted seven
runs, whereas, Memphis could only
pull four over the plate to show for
her nine hits.
Sensational fielding by Manuel
and Collenberger saved the day for
Reiney's troop, seventeen chances
without an error being their part in
copping off the series for "Cap." How
ever, It was by no means an error
less game, for Caruthersville stack
ed up four mistakes to Goodbarsr
five. All in all, it was a rippin' good
game and the fans felt repaid for
the time and money spent in watch
ing it. Next Sunday's will bo just as
good, possibly better, and if the
Goodbars should happen to come off
first best the test game on the follow
ing Sunday will draw some crowd, it
weathercondltlons should not hap
pen to prevent.
The following is the box score and
summary of victory No. 1 in the
series:
