PARENTAL AUTHORITY.
Tho parent of a lad who was charged at Auckland with failing to attmd drill, stated that his son had absented himself under his instructions. The father claimed that the Act was subversive of parental authority. Such contention of course, absurd, 'i. law is made to be observed, and a parent who exercises his parental authority to create a breach of the h•••> is himself morally and legally eulp-. able. There are a good many parents who would keep their children from school if tho compulsory clause's of tliu Education Act did not compel attendance. Is it more subversive of parental authority to compel a boy to attend drill than it is to compel him to attend school?
