Compulsory School Attendance Aimed At Statewide Reform

The article notes bills to require parents to send children to school for twelve weeks annually, with cities needing such laws more than rural districts. It cites poverty, clothing and books as barriers and argues the state should ensure education for all children, even funding necessities from the school fund. It quotes Newton Bateman’s report showing 19 of 100 children school age not attending and 65 percent regular attendance, urging a remedy through compulsory education.
