The New Type of TIuant Officer -
The old idea Of the truant officer
ias a Kid cop" is passing away, ac-
lc1rding to w. s. Deffenbaugh, of the
United States Bureau OF Education,
who has recently been in conference
with attendance officials from all
parts OF the United States. The new
Itruant officer. according to Mr.. Def
lfenbaugh, is man of entirely dif-
ferent type, quite frequently, in fact,
IA woman. In several cities large
percentage OF triant officers are col
ilege graduates; In othsr cities they
ARE men and " omen with experience
las social workers; but whether coll
llege graduates or not, they are re-
Quired to know and understand the
home conditions of school Children.
Attendance officers Of the new type
are interested in removing funds
mental causes OF truancy rather than
lin merely catching the offenders. The
chief cause OF the failure to obey att
tendance laws. according to the Ma
ltional League OF Comp ulsoty Educa-
ton officials is inadequate family
| life. Resolutions adopted at the
recent meeting OF this organization,
therefore, called for adequate and
uniform marriage and divorce laws
for the proteetion of childhood;
marriage licenses that will prevent
child marriages and prohibit the mar
riage Of persons physically, morally
and mentally unfit to wed" They
urge that the Juvenile courts be given
definite authority to place parents,
as well as children on probation for
ltruancy and delinqnency: they ask
better state supervision OF dependent
children; civil service for; all truant
| ofiicers: and the maintenance OF
parental schools, special rooms for
itruants and incorrigibles, and health
inspection OF schools as material fac
tors In child welfare.
The attendance officer OF the new
type Is to be a far better trained man
or woman and is to receive better
pay. Superintendents of some Of
the largest school systems In the
limited States Joined IN advocat tins
a minimum salary OF 500 per month
for twelve months in the year, in or.
der that the officer may be in con-
Fstant touch with the home conditions
of the boys and girls.
The United States Bureau Of Edu-
cation has agreed to cooperate with
the lea que Of compulsory attendance
lof1ciais In the collection of statistics
bearing on attendance problems. AS
part Of the movement for better at
tendance. II has been urged that q
permanent census bureau be estab.
llished and maintained in every city

.tical and scientific code Of laws per.

portant subject. An advance copy
of the bill which will be submitted

the high character OF the work and
the extent to which the boards re-
search for material and modern prac-
tice has been made.
The work OF Fthe preparation oil
