An Effort to
Stop Truancy

a determined effort to prevent tru-
ancy is to be made by the school au-
tEorities of Watervile Since the
schools opened last week it has been
foucd that at least 900 children. who
ought t" he at school are absent. A
list Of the names of large number
OF these students was given to Tru-
ant Officer John p Baxter last week
ana he visited the home of every schol-
ar and notified the parents or guardi-
ans that these children must attend
school
The laws Of the State of Maine re-
gardin@ truanCy and the duties of tru-
ant officers are very plain and SUI
perintendent of Schools Herbert G.
Libby says they will be enforced to the
letter, The compulsory school age is
from seven to fifteen. No child under
the age of IA will be permitted to work
and those between the ages of II and
is must be provided with an age and
schooling certificate. which must be
signed by the superintendent of
schools. An employer engaging such a
boy or girl without these certificates
is liable to prosecution.
The law relating to the school age
is Section 40 of Chapter Is of the Re-
Ised Statutes. 1t reads: Every
child between the seventh and fifteenth
anniversaries of his birth and every
child between the fifteenth and sew
enth anniversaries, who cannot read
at sight and write legible simple sent
ences in the English language shall
attend some public school during the
time such school is in session, and
an absence therefrom of one-half day
or more shall be deemed a violation
Of this requirement: provided that
necessary absence may be excused by
