Compulsory Education Triumph in Pennsylvania
The Farr bill establishing compulsory education in Pennsylvania is hailed as a victory for common sense. It declares education a right for all children and positions parental rights as secondary to the state’s duty to prepare responsible citizens. The Tribune credits local leaders and Lackawanna county supporters for this landmark act. Mayor Strong of New York is noted for smoothing political tensions, while Tioga’s autocrat is urged to harvest support against Byrnes’s tenure as superintendent.
