R different reasons it has seem-ed
bQgt to the committee in
I charge of the campaign that
1 is being conducted for new
members of the Hershey Young Men's
Christian Association, to'"extend the
length of the campaign. The new date
that has been set for the close is
Wednesday, February 7th. The an-nual
meeting of the association and
the general social time that had been
planned for Saturday of- this week has
been postponed until the later date,
February 7th.
Since the thermometers that indicate
the standing of the two teams, have
been put up in the Y. M. C. A; rooms,
interest has been added to the cam-paign.
At present Murrie's team have
their thermometer standing at 21,
while Clark's team have theirs run up
to 10. These numbers by no means
indicate the number of applications
that have been* signed, for a large
number are yet in the hands of . the
men who have secured them and will
not be turned in until the latter part
of the campaign.
The doors of the association will be
thrown open to the public at the meet-ing
that will be held on Wednesday of
next week. There will be exhibition
apparatus work in the gymnasium and
a general social time in addition to the
annual meeting of the association at
Which the reports of the officers Will
be read.

Shall the School Law
Be Enforced
Parents In Philadelphia Under Arrest. Deny
Township Board Getting After Local Gases
B
" IN Tuesday of last week, seven
parents of truant school chil-dren,
in Philadelphia were
. 1 sent to the county prison for
five days and sixteen others were forced
to pay a fine of $2.50 each. This is the
way the Philadelphia school authorities
are enforcing the law regarding truancy
of . school children. Similiar reports
come from . other parts of the. state
where parents have been allowing their
children to be absent from school.
The New School CJode makes the par-ent
directly responsible for the child's
attendance at school. It requires that
every child between' the ages of eight
and sixteen years shall attend school
for seventy per cent, of the days of the
school year, unless prevented by sick-ness
or other disability. Children be-tween
the ages of fourteen anil sixteen
years who are engaged in regular em-ployment
during school hours, are ex-empt
from attendance providing they
can -read and write intelligently •and
hold legally issued employment certifi-cates.
: Another provision of the new
law makes it obligatory upon the mem-bers
of the school boards and the teach-ers
to enforce the law under penalty of
$25.00 fine or imprisonment for thirty
days.
During the past few weeks there have
been a number of cases of truancy; re-ported
to the Derry township School
Board. A truant officer has been ap-pointed
and has full power to make ar-rests.
It is the intention of the Board
to do their duty in enforcing- the: law
and to-require attendance at school of
all children coming under its provisions.
