For people to keep their chil¬
dren out of school during pay

was employed and a salary fixed
based upon the number of chil¬

school. To keep a child out. dur¬
ing the pay term and then crowd
the school when the free term is
open places a hardship upon these
who senci during the entire term.
It takes U3 all to build a good
