Compulsory education drive gains Georgia backing

Five hundred yards of petition signatures from across the state support the State Federation of Womans Clubs push for a compulsory education law. Leaders Mrs. R. E. Park and Mrs. Warren Boyd oversee circulating petitions urging all affiliated clubs to canvass members. Critics list paternalism and cost, while supporters cite illiteracy rates and economic need. The proposed law would apply to children aged 5 to 14 attending at least 16 weeks yearly with exemptions for disability, distance, or valid excuses.
