CITY REPORTS.
Truant Omccr,s Report for 1s1a


To the Honorable City Council of Portland.
GENTLEMEN:-I herewith hand you my third
annual report for the year ending March LIST,
1873
1t gives me pleasure to say that in the de-
partment OF labor assigned me by you, l have
witnessed much improvement during the past
year. srss- .s
Up to the time when the small pox made its
unwelcome appearance in our city, there was a
constant and steady decrease in the number of
cards received from the teachers; at the same
time the number on our school registers was on
the increase, and, as l am assured by the teach
ers, and their reports show, the per cent of at
tendance never was better.
have continued to work on the same plan
adopted three years ago when 1 assumed the
duties of my present position.
The results OF another years experience, a
better and more extended acquaintance with
the parents of our troublesome boys, have been
most gratifying, and prove beyond doubt the
most effectual method of reaching boys in
clined to truancy, or any other form of wrong
doing is through the parents. -
We have IN our schools at the present time
of regular attendants-a large number, who
two years ago were reckoned among our worst
truants
In many cases think it would have been al
most impossible to have brought about this
pleasant result without first securing the CO.
operation of their parents.
While matters in the schools have thus been
improving 1t has afforded me more time to la
Dor in behalf of the non-attendants of which
we still have large number, who by the wish
and consent of their parents continue to labor
as milk boys. swill boys, mackerel packers,
boot-blacks, tenpin boys, GRAND, Office and
store boys.
Many of these having a distaste for study,
seek these various employments pu7posely to
avoid the school-room; and on account of the
carelessness, Indifference and ignorance of their
parents obtain their consent and encourage
ment.
Among this class / have been quite success
full; for, while could not reach them officially
on account of their being regularly employed,
l have induced the parents of many to See that
the course they were pursuing towards them
would bring about very unhappy results in the
future, and they have taken my advice, and
their children are in our schools quite regular
in their attendance.
Argument will not reach an however, and |
regret exceedingly that the friends of educa-
ton in our Legislature at its recent session
failed to secure the passage of the bill which
would have compelled such to have sent their
children to school part of the year at least
The receipts of cards from the teacher for
investigation during the past year have been
seven hundred and fifty-a falling off of three
hundred from last years report
have made two hundred and twelve arrests
and sent five to the State Reform School,
In concluding this report, would express
my gratitude for the cheerful support and co.
operation it has been my pleasure to receive
from all the teachers without exception
Respectfully submitted,

RossINIs BIRTH-DAY.-The eighty first an
niversary of the birthday of the composer
Rossini was properly noticed yesterday by the
Rossini Club, at their room in the City Build
ing, by concert more largely attended than
any previous one has been. The portrait and
the name of Rossini, together with this date of
his birth-February 90, 1792,-were encircled in
awreath of smilax. The ladies of the club pre-
sented very attractive appearance. The au-
dience was choice and appreciative, and enter
ed with sympathy into the spirit Of the music.
A beautiful floral harp, with basket and vase
OF exotic flowers stood upon the "Chickering
giand'; and by the by, the proceeds of this fine
concert just enabled the enterprising young la
dies to make their last payment upon the in
strument Zone thousand dollars we believe).
There were three selections from the works OF
the patron composer, la Fede, Una Voee,
and one from the opera Of ia Gazza Ladra,
and they were each finely rendered. Miss Ella
Lewis, ever popular sang from Lucia with her
admirable vigor, self-possession and correctness,
and she received an encore, The Agnus Del
from Concone, was all too short for its beautiful
pleading tones, and Mrs. bennett and Miss
Lewis gave repetition by significant request.
Miss Munger gave Una Voce, with delightful
clearness and fine expression, and all (incuding
the members of the Club gave her hearty en-
core which was richly deserved, as she made a
decided triumph. Mrs William Allen and Miss
Dyer, in their sonata Of Mozart and Misses
Jones and Blanchard, each sola upon the piano
forte, We're handsomely applauded. The over
trlre to La Gazza Ladra, by Mrs. Kotzschmar
and Miss Millett, was very beautifully played,
showing thorough proficiency and perfect time
by each indeed, Miss Millett, who accompan-
led all the pieces, except, of course, the solos
developed rare correctness and beautiful exc
cution in her playing, which made it very en-
joyable. We should not forget the trio in Eng
lish, Calm DER the CLASSY Lake, by Mrs. Gard
ner, Mrs. Farley and Miss Munger, which was
very sweet, and the remark was made by seve-
raj that they would have desired one more of
those English ballads which so reach the uni
versal heart by their touch of nature, making
the whole world akin. The concert closed with
the singing of the Venetians, by ten members
OF the club, which is pleasant, vivacious glee,
and was sung with suitable spirit and accent.
Only one more concert will be given by the club
during the present season, and that will occur
in May next. A larger room will be needed at
that time, as several had to occupy stage box,
in the way of seat, in the adjoining room.
