KENTUCKY SCHOOL LAW
A newly enacted state-wide compulsory school attendance law brings Tennessee into line with its neighbor Kentucky. Attendance at school is required of all between the ages of eight and fourteen and of all between fourteen and sixteen who are not “actively and regularly and lawfully” employed or who are unable to read and write. This new law takes from the map printed in The Survey of February 15 one of the five gray southern states that have had compulsory attendance only in certain counties.
