AN OBSTINATE PARENT.
Percy Truby, a Mangaweka parent, has a very intelligent boy whose brain is too active for the curriculum of a State school. The parent has been previously fined for not sending his boy to school. He has flouted the Truant Inspector and Education Act and maintained he had a right to keep the boy at home —because the boy’s brain was too active. The parent, however, admitted that the boy had been reday, and even throughout ceiving lessons at home every the holidays. An unsympathetic Bench on Wednesday
fined the parent 20s and costs and informed him that if he neglected to send the lad in future he would be liable to a fine of 40s per week for every week the boy was absent and they intended to impose the full penalty. It is surprising that certain parents will run their heads against a brick wall.
