Alaska Native Compulsory School Truant Law
The text states a federal compulsory school law for Alaska Natives aged eight to sixteen. Any guardian permitting a child to miss United States public school for five days is guilty of a misdemeanor with fines from five to twenty five dollars and costs, plus possible jail until payment. A truant officer may arrest during school hours without a warrant and report to the home and teacher, then swear out a complaint to the United States Commissioner for violations.
