There was no compulsory school attendance legislation in Florida before 1915 although the state Superintendent had recommended the adoption of such legislation as early as 1895. The legislation adopted in 1915 was a makeshift act with no adequate provisions for enforcement. It did not operate successfully except in a few scattered localities. In 1991, public sentiment demanded a statewide compulsory school attendance law. The 1919 law, as amended in 1923, remained substantially unchanged until the present school code was adopted in 1993. / "June, 1953." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: W. Edwards, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaf 33).
