Many of them go to school for only a few months in the year, compulsory education laws either being laxly enforced or else altogether lacking. A very small percentage of the children of the farm ever complete eight grades of schooling, and not a large proportion finish more than half of this amount. This leaves the child who has to depend on the rural school greatly handicapped in education.
They think so... so" Johanna hesitated for a word "so laxly on earnest subjects. And it is telling on Ephie Look, for instance, at Mr. Dove! I don't want to say anything against him, in particular. He is really more serious than the rest. But for some time now, he has been making himself ridiculous," Johanna had blushed for Dove on the occasion of his last visit.
He thought it was the gray dawn, and sought to roll over on his rock bed away from the sheltering embrace of Blake. The engineer was still deep in profound slumber. His big arm slipped laxly from across the moving man's breast. The change of position wrung a groan from Ashton. Every muscle in his body was cramped, every bruise stiff and sore.
The point that Mr. Direck had made about the barn rankled in his thoughts. His barn was a barn no longer, his farmyard held no cattle; he was just living laxly in the buildings that ancient needs had made, he was living on the accumulated prosperity of former times, the spendthrift heir of toiling generations.

He was living the fulfilment of his dreams in exile, lounging in the stern in the ancient clothes he had purchased, his feet stretched comfortably before him in their broken shoes, one foot upon a thwart, the other hanging overside so laxly that occasional ripples lapped the run-over heel.
Darco stared a moment, for the young man's beard and moustache were fully grown, and they disguised him. 'Oh! he said at last. 'Id is Armstronk. How do you do? He held out his hand somewhat laxly, but Paul took it in both his and wrung it fervently. 'I can't tell you how glad I am to see you.
