OPPOSED TO SCHOOL
Young Negro Brought Before
Juvenile Court Today
For Truancy.
GIVEN SEVERE LECTURE

Irwin Lloyd. colored. who has been
allowed to become shiftless vagabond
at the age Of eleven, was brought be-
fore Judge Fox of the Juvenile court
this morning by truant officer George
Bishop. The boy has refused to a.
tend the Whitewater school and all ef.
forts on the part Of the teachers and
Mr.. Bishop have been unsuccessful IN
to date.
Judge Fox advised the youth that it
would be wise for him to be less head.
strong and attend school regularly or
else he would have to send him to
Plainfield Reform school, where re-
strictions are very severe. The boy
has been living part of the time with
relatives.
Mr.. Bishop stated this morning that
this was the first boy this year against
whom he has had to use such strenuous
methods in order to compel attendance
at school. There are a number of 9TH
er youths who are very nearly as
headstrong and opposed to attending
school. and action may be taken in
their cases similar to that taken this
morning.
