PHONE 96 ALBANY, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3 MUST GO TO SCHOOL UNTIL 18 California has a new school law known as the compuls ory part time act which will become effective July 1, and whick extends the age of compulsory school attendance from 16 to 18 years for those hoys and girls who have not at that age completed -a high school course. Pupils between the ages of 16 and IS, however, are required to attend school only half time...They- are permitted to work part of the day if they wish, but they must spend at least four hours a day in school. Needless to say, the operation of this law will put back into the schools a great m-.my boys and girls who had previ ously stopped going to school. Many of them have left high school courses unfinished, and a surprising number have not even finished the elementary school course- The successful operation of the law requires solving a number of new problems. In the first place, employers of boys and girls between 16 and 18 years will have to co-operate with the school authorities in arranging the hours of work and hours of schooling satisfactorily to everybody con cerned. Unless a perfect arrangement is found it will prob ably be necessary to provide more part-time teachers than would be needed to teach the same number of pupils full time. Also, most of these boys and girls left the schools be cause they were not able to maintain the minimum standard of achievement required of each grade. They need a spec ial type of instruction and training. They do not fit into the the group teaching of the public schools, but seem to call for individual help and attention. The routine schooling would probably discourage these pupils and their extra two years would do them little good. It is important that only such subjects and such training be given as will better pre- fare them for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship, t should mean, too, that the school authorities look out for the pupil not only while he is in the class room, but in the work room as well. It is a big task for any group of edu cators, but if they can perform it successfully they will lead the way in solving one of the nation's baffling education problems. o r MAKING BAD ROADS GOOD Keeping the old roads in good condition while waiting for the new ones to be built is the task which farmers around Monmouth, 111., have set themselves this winter, and will continue during the spring, in spite of loosening frost and thaws.

As a result the mail carriers have found the task of making their rounds easier, and peo ple traveling to and from the city have been able to make the trip in quicker time than if property-owners along the roads had not done this work."

Poor Highway Work Tlie paving being done on the Pa cific highway in this district is not up to the old standard of work form erly required by the state highway commission, That is apparent to any one passing over the completed por tions of the road. The puvement on the Junction Cily-Eugeiic siretch, for instance, is much and shows traces of ruts already ami it has been traveled only a few weeks. Apparently the work is cf very inferior grade, cith'-r as to the material used, or the man ner in which it was put down. Eu gene Guard.

A PSALM OK FARM LIFE At the luncheon given by the Port land Ad Club to out-of-town buyers the Ad Club quartet rendered the fol lowing chant; I.
