Trenton, Feb. 3:-Declaring that
a great educational waste is going
on in the schools of New Jersey be-
cause. of the large number Of UNI
trained teachers employed and be-
cause Of the lack of constructive
helpful, inspiring supervision, DR..
Calvin N. Kendall, State Commits
sioner of Education. submitted to
the State Board of Education, today,
a report reviewing school conditions
and presenting school needs.
! DR.. Kendall first told the board
that the education laws are not
properly enforced In many communi-
ties in the state. He showed that
n county superintendent reports
that one-fifth of the children are
not In school one half OF the time.
In n populous county in the north
ern part OF the state, only twenty of
the ~sixty-four districts employ at
tendance officers. Much of the poor
attendance Is caused by Illness OF
children and by ad weather condi-
ltions. which necessarily effect the
attendance of children In rural dis
tricts, and by other unavoidable rea-
sons, DIR. Kendall said. Still, he
continued, county superintendent
and others testify that a large part
OF tits could be avoided.
Duty to Provide For All
DR.. Kendall showed that 1t Is the
duty Of the state to provide a thor
ough and efficient system OF educa-
