The^ounty boar of education met Tuesday with a full membership present. In the new organidatlon Mr. R. P. Minter of Woolsey was elected president. Besides the regular business, the reports of the attendance for the months of March and April were dis cussed. Many pupils of th6 age un der which compulsory attendance is required did not attend and in some instances the teachers failed to re port these matters. It is the purpose of. the board to see that all comply with the law or suffer the penalties prescribed. The parents of those chil dren not complying with the law will be held' accountable at the close of the year. Too much indifference ex ists and the law is not respected as it should be. Rural Schools Not a Charity Organiza tion. Business men give to the pig clubs and other school interests as a mat ter of charity. This attitude is grow ing old and continues to hang on to us because we have not brought the school business up to where it must be a reckoning factor. It has not vi tally allied itself with other interests. It is behind, and in but few sections, if any, it it to now be found in the vanguard. If we couldl draw a picture of the interests of any county away in the background almost hidden by other businesses would be seen 1he school business. We’ve got to pick it up and set it down with the other leading interests of the country. We have not done this. We have been try ing to do it, but money, money—the commonest of all words in the profes sion and the most uncommon sub stance is lacking. Yes, woefully lack ing. Lacking because thousands of school men think their jobs are to ad- mister to the schools and not to get the finances. They say “Give us money" instead of going after it. We must break up this idea that the pub lic schools constitute a charity organ ization. They are an investment, and our failure to put in money will in crease the number of Bolsheviki, Redls and other godless organizations which, to some extent at least, men ace our government today.
