PARENTS WILL BE GUILTY OF
MISDEMEANOR IF DON’T SEND
CHILDREN TO SCHOOL.
Following is the compulsory at
tendance law, forcing the children to
attend the schools of the state, that
was passed by the legislature at the
session last summer. It will become
effective January Ist next:
An act to require school attend
ance of children for a minimum peri
od, and to provide for enforcement
of the same, and for other purposes:
Section 1. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
Georgia, that every parent, guardian
or other person having charge and‘
control of a child between the ages
of eight and fourteen years, who is
not exempted or excused as herein
after provided, shall cause the said
child to be enrolled in and to attend
continuously for four months of each
year a public school of the district
or of the city or town in which the
child resides; which period of attend
ance shall commence at the begin
ning of the first term of said school
in the year. Such attendance at a
public school shall not be required
where the child attends for the same
period some other school giving in
struction in the ordinary branches of
English education, or has completed
the fourth grade of school work as
prescrbed by the State Board of Ed
ucation, or where, because of pov
erty, the services of the child are nec
essary for the support of a parent or
other member of the child’s family
dpendent on such services, or where
the parents or persons standing in
dependent on such services, or whcrel
parental relation to the child are una
ble to provide the necessary hooks
and clothing for attending school,
and the same are not otherwise pro
vided, or where the mental or phys
ical condition of the child renders
such attendance impracticable or in
expedient, or where the child re
sides more than three miles from th
school house by the nearest traveled
route, or where, for other good rea
sons (the sufficiency of which shall
be determined by the board of educa
tion of the county or of the town in
which the child resides) the said
board excuses the child from such at
tendance, such boards being author
jzed to take into consideration the
seasons for agricultural labor and|
the need for such labor in exercising
their discretion as to the time for
which children in farming districts
shall be excused. Provided, that no
guardian shall be compelled to send
such child or children to school out
of any other than the funds belong
ing to the ward or wards. Tempor
rary absence of any child enrolled
as a pupil may be excused by the
principal or teacher in charge of the
school because of bad weather, death
in the child’s family, or other rea
sonable cause.
Sec. 2. Be it‘further enacted, that
any parent, guardian or other person
who has charge and control of a child
between the ages aforesaid, and who
willfully fails to comply with the
foregoing requirements shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and on con
vietion thereof shall be punished by
a fine not to exceed ten dollars for
the first offense, and not to exceed
twenty dollars for each subsequent
offense, said fines to include all costs;
but the court trying the case may, in

medidtely placed in attendance at a
school as aforesaid, and may finally
remit the -same if such attendance
has continued regularly for the num
ber of months hereinbefore preserib
ed for attendance. School attend
ance may be proved by an attested

prosecution is instituted, a bond in
,the penal sum of fifty dollars paya
'ble to the ordinary of the county,
with security to be approved by the
ordinary, conditioned that the said
person shall thenceforth faithfullyi
comply with the requirements of this
act as to the said child. Each day’s
wilful failure of a parent, guardian
or other person in charge and con
trol of a child as aforesaid, after the
expiration of ten days from such no-!
tice, to cause the child to attend |
school, when such attendance is re- |
quired by this act, shall constitute a'
separate offense. In prosecutions un- |
der this act the exemptions and ex-|
cuses herein provided for shall be’

by the accused, and need not be neg- |
ative in the indictment of accusation. I
