School Attendance 
My 17-year-old son was sick and out 
of school six days. He was suspended 
because he did not bring excuse. Does 
he have to take excuse at this age? Can 
I keep him out to help me? If so what 
excuse could I give? w. a. b. 
It is the duty of every person, in the 
relation of parent to a child within the 
schoo 1 age and in the proper physical and 
mental condition, to cause such child to 
attend instruction as follows: In cities 
and school districts having a population 
of 5,000 or above, every child between 
six and 16 years of age, tinless an em¬ 
ployment certificate has been issued and 
he is regularly employed. Elsewhere 
every child between eight and 16 years 
unless such child shall have received an 
employment certificate and is regularly 
employed thereunder. N. X. 
Joint Tenancy 
Not long ago I noticed a reply in The 
E. N.-Y. in regard to a joint deed of real 
estate in New York State which stated 
“A joint deed of real estate gave the sur¬ 
viving party the real estate.’’ Is the law 
the same in Connecticut regarding this 
matter? The land, stock and tools are to 
be deeded to two brothers; would the sur¬ 
viving brother hold all? Could not the 
stock and tools be orally given to them, 
and the deed be worded to their heirs 
forever, and be so half would go to the 
heirs? H. j. s. 
Connecticut. 
A conveyance to “John Doe and Rich, 
ard Roe” is a conveyance as tenants in 
common ; that is each owns an undivided 
one-half interest, and upon the death of 
either their intei’est passes to their de¬ 
scendants. A conveyance to “John Doe 
and Richard Roe as joint tenants” passes 
the title to the survivor.
