A vigorous plea for .compulsory school attendance laws in the South ern states is made by Villianm H. Hand, state high school inspector for South Carolina, in a bulletin just is sued by the United States bureau of education. After pointing out that the six states, still without compulsory laws-South Carolina, Georgia, Florida Alabama, Mississippi and Texas, and the four states with compulsory laws that apply only partially-Maryland, Virginia, Arkansas and Louisiana are all Southern states. Hand pre sents statistics showing that although illiteracy has been reduced rapidly in these states within the last two de cc.'s, they still have the highest per centage of illiteracy among the white population, "The oppolielts of compulsory edit eation insist that. the people wilI send 't'eir childrn to school without be ing obliged to do so, if only they are shown their duty and their obligation to the child'en.

Many are employed in the nerve-dulling and blood sapping et\ ironment. of the mills, receiving good wages as children in exchange for the vigor of manhood and training of mind as men ttand women; while thousatnds of others are r'oamblg the :s ieets andl country Ianes, tle ti'aininug grounds 'or idlers, vagarants and n emies of' the law, order and deveney.
