It is a pity that a full report, with the entire history of
each case and its disposition, of the Superintendent of Welfare cannot be
published. Unfortunately it deals with conditions that cannot be given
publicity owing to the unwarranted embarrassment it would bring. If it could be
done, the people of Franklin County would recognize the necessity of such work
and that in the future it promises to be one of the greatest works in our
State. Learn a little more about things before you criticize too much.
Everybody agrees that a parent who willfully refuses to send
his children to school when he has an opportunity to do so ought to be forced
to do so. The only question upon which the people differ is the method of
bringing about this justice to the child. Certainly a law cannot be made to
apply to a class. It is no law unless it applies to all alike. A start had to
be made. This year the records have been second and there is hardly any doubt
but that some of the inconveniences will be eliminated, since they have been
found. Let’s give it fair judgement. It will make us feel better.
