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.

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 the Monmouth Daily Review reports it: "Many miles

of the plebeian road-drag. As a result the mail carriers
have found the task of making their rounds easier, and peo

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

lowing chant;
I.
Tell me not in broken measures,
Modern farming does not pay,
For a farm produces chickens,
And the hens do they not Iny?
Eggs are high and going higher
And the price is soaring fast.
Every time we get to market
It is higher than the last.
II. .
Not a C'jop but it produces
Every day an egg or two.
So each farmer gains hia millions
Kvcn though his eggs be few.
Ev'ry egg is very precious.
And the hens are held in awe;
When a hen begins to cackle
Then the farmer goes "Haw-haw."
