TO THE SCHOOL PATRONS OF OWEN COUNTY

The compulsory school law of the State of Indiana
provides that all parents, guardians or other persons
having control or charge of any child or children
between the ages  of seven (7) and fourteen (14)
years inclusive shall be required to send such child
or children to a public, private or parochial school
or to two or all of these schools each school year,
for a term or period not less than that of the public
schools of the School Corporation where the child or
children reside.
Provided further that no child in good mental and 
physical condition shall for any cause, any rule or 
law to the contrary, be precluded from attending
schools when such school is in session. Since from
the School Statistics of Owen County for last year
we find such a great loss sustained by the taxpayers
of Owen county on account of non-attendance and 
tardiness of school children in the county, it therefore
behooves us as patrons to see to it that the children
are kept in school.
