Context

"In Saugatuck, the skating and ice boating on the little lake was tempting Monday and so large a percentage of the high school was absent in the afternoon that it caught the attention of County Commissioner Goodrich. But the law does not compel a student to attend high school. No matter how young a child is he cannot be compelled to attend school if he is past the eight grade." --- Holland City News/The Holland Sentinel, Thursday, Jan. 28, 1915.
