Father jailed for defying school attendance order in county
Pate FRO age sent to Arthur H Jenkins of Albin was arrested after noon by Sheriff Pannett on a warrant from Judge D. L. Weems of the county juvenile court for refusing to send his children to school. Jenkins defied the judge and warned he would not obey the school law, with the case marking a rare local enforcement of compulsory education. The two children attend Bryarly school near the Williams farm. Jenkins claims pupil actions could demoralize his children. The statute allows magistrates to commit a recalcitrant parent to jail but specifies no duration, prompting questions about indefinite confinement. The matter is the first such local case in years and contrasts with a religious-home schooling precedent where imprisonment followed but release occurred later.
