CULPEPER, Va., November 13.— The compulsory school law of Vir- ginia is being tested in Culpeper in the case of Tom Hand, well known resident of this town, and the Com- monwealth of Virginia. Some time ago Mr. Hand was sum- moned before Judge Charles E. Reams, jr., of the Juvenile and Do- mestic’ Court, for not_sending his 13-year-old son, Tom, jr., to school. Mr. Hand is understood to have said that he had not sent him because he was & very handy boy and useful to himself, and is also said to have added that he had no idea of sending him. Seeing that the ouflook for any toncession on the part of the parent ‘was rather hazy, the matter was re- ferred to the Circuit Court, in ses- sion here on Priday, with Judge A. T. Browning presiding, and again Mr. Hand was summoned to show cause why the boy should not attend school. Acting as his own counsel, Mr. Hand statéd to the court that he considered the compulsory education law a “fool law,” and added that he had no intention of obeying it. He was thereupon fined $15 for contempt of court. Refusing to pay this fine or to allow any friends to pay it for hllT he was lodged in the county . : ‘There he has been visited by numerous business and family friends, all freely offering to pay his fine and all being emphatically refused this favor. He states that he considers hlm.!el! unjustly treated, as the lad ing taught at home by an elde'r sister and his mother, and that he will stay in jail until he dies be- fore paying the fine. Meantime the boy is still absent from school.
