Truant Masters

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles
Herald: While our children are enjoyiny K
two more vacation weeks, it may not be
untimely to suggest a method by which
during the coming winter the street cor
ners of our more crowded wards may be
less frequented by truant lads and by
which. also, the judges in our court may
be spared so many commitments, for
petty larceny and similar offenses, to the
over-crowded state school at Whittier.
During the past winter, the writer has
taken pains to investigate the reasons
for truancy. In some few instances JUS
tifiable excuses were given, but the self
evident fact remained, that the majority y
of the children were on the street be-
cause they preferred marbles and PEN
ny-tossing to the stricter regime Of the
school room, and there was no law COM
pelling them to be there. Granting that
our present industrial school system
(for as yet the Sloyd equipment is mad.
equate) may be irksome to the growing
boy, one surely admits that its advan-
tages excel those offered by the street
corners of our down town districts.
If in Los Angeles education IS not COM
pulsory, may we not, for the pressing
need of the hour, have, as they do in the
east, conscientious truant masters? The
work of these men and women can be
easily accomplished in somewhat the
following manner: The homes Of the
more crowded districts can be visited
and census of the children of school
age taken. The opening week of school
this census can be compared with the
school enrolments in possession Of the
principals of the schools in the districts
visited. These comparisons will furnish
sufficient data for the truant masters.
May these masters not be empowered to
act as authorities from the school board
May they not insist upon school attend
ance except where good and sufficient
reasons are given? NJ B. F.

Running Too Much to Militancy

The increase of miitancy is to be stud
led as a sign of the times to come in con-
nection with other signs. But it is not to
be studied as an outgrowth and guar
antee of political or any other kind of
freedom. An increase of militancy is
certain in the long run to destroy both
political and individual freedom. His
tory does not teach any truth more
plainly or persistently than this.-Roch-

AS public sentiment upon the subject

against the radical injunctions issued
in the case of the striking coal miners.
1t should be borne in mind that not
withStanding the injustice of those in
functions they have caused no rebellion
or violent outbreak on the part of those
against whom they were directed. The
strikers have respected the courts while
they have protested against the action
of the Judges. This has helped them
with the public, and public sentiment
being known it is less likely that this
length of government by injunction will
not be again reached. Twenty years

In some Of the European countries,

ton that money is scarce, for when that
is the case it is the common practice
to advance rates, but it is otherwise
when money is plenty. The food sup
ply in Europe is so meagre that it is
necessary to practice the greatest
economy in living, and the advance of
rates may be caused in part to discour-
age buying in foreign countries. The
governments on the continent are ac-
customed to enforce prudence on the
part of their peoples. 1t is not strange
that Germany begins to feel the pinch
