The school board of New York city ]
has a woman truant officer who is Shin
ingly efficient. She is Mrs. Mary e. /
Alger. a young and decidedly healthy
woman. She has proved especially val |
liable in running in and returning to
home and school boys who have be-
come fascinated with dime novel tramp
life and attempt to join vagabond =,
bands. Lately she performed a really
daring and dramatic exploit. At the
head of 20 policemen she raided a
freight train on the New York Central
road and captured nine truant school
boys. as well as the tramps with whom
they were running away. Mrs. Alger
herself collared an 1S-year-old boy and
dragged him from his hiding place. The
police remained in concealment till the
woman unearthed the game. The game
did not suspect her of being an officer
and so was taken unawares.
