Compulsory
School Attendance
Oliver G. Boe, Superintendent
of the Nome Public School, an
nounced today that according to
the law:
* . , i , •
“All children of sound mind
who live within 2 miles of the
school and are between the ages
of 7 to 16 must attend school
until the age of 16 is reached or
until eighth grade has been com
pleted. Absence from school is
termed a violation of this section.
“The responsibility for such
violation falls on the PARENT or
any other person having posses
sion or control of the child. The
violation is classified as a mis
demeanor, the parent being liable
to fine or imprisonment in the
Federal jail.”
Mr. Boe said it is the duty of
the superintendent to report all
such violations to the proper au
thorities.
He further stated: “I find it
necesary to bring these matters
before the public because there
are a number of children in Nome,
between the ages stated, who are
not attending school regularly, if
at all. I trust that no drastic action
will be necessary, but I do re
quest that all parents cooperate
with me by seeing to it that their
children are in school every day,
unless ill.”
The amount of money the school
gets from the Territory is based
on enrollment, which gives us an
other reason for wanting good at
tendance. The poorer the enroll
ment, the higher local taxes will
be. So it is to the advantage of
all that the children of Nome at
tend school regularly.
Mrs. A. Brunnell, well-known
resident of Nome for many years,
who sold her home here recently,
left last evening for Seattle where
she will make her home near her
daughter, Mrs. Bill Kelsey. Albert
Brunnell. her son, accompanied
her. She leaves behind two daugh
ters, Mrs. Jack Dowd and Mrs.
Nels Swanberg, Jr., and several
grandchildren.
