Report Of the rrusns omcer.

Mr.. FL. p. White, Truant Officer, made his
annual report to the City Council last eve
ming. From it we gather the. following facts
The total number Of persons entitled to at
tend the schools in this city, between the ages
of and 81 years, is II, 023. OF these, 1852
are between the ages of A and 16 years. u
The whole number attending schools the
summer term was 1897; leaving 1925 who
did not belong to- any public school Making
all due allowances for those attending private
schools, and those engaged in some lawful
business, it leaves the number Of, probably,
1000 who do not belong to any school and are
not engaged in any lawful occupation; most
OF whom are left to grow up in ignorance, or
are learning lessons of vice in the streets. -
During the past year, Mr.. White has inves-
tigated over 300 cases of truancy. There have
been SO arrested and returned to the schools
to which they belonged. A larger number
have been induced to return to their several
schools, without being arrested. Seven, who
had previously been arrested three times, were
complained of to the Municipal Court as ha-
bitual truants, six of whom were sentenced to
the Reform School and one put upon proba-
ton.
1t is evident from the report of the officer,
that his duties have been very arduous. But
we believe he has performed them not only to
the satisfaction Of the School Committee and
teachers, but also Of parents. 4 M ~ =
