20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Ang. 10,1967, edition
The Compulsory School Attendance
Law was passed unanimously by the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors at the regular August meeting held Friday at which all members were present. Fifteen citizens were present in support of the school law which had not been in effect for the last ten years and was abolished as part of Massive Resistance. Many excellent points were made in favor of the law but the most succinct was that a literate population is necessary for proper functioning of a democratic form of government and is mandatory and possible. The motion to adopt the Compulsory School Attendance Law was made by L. H. Luttrell and seconded by Herbert Foster. They had sponsored the ordinance which was advertised for the public hearing.
