from the Federal Bureau a report on
what has been done in the United

paying hockey from school.
What the birch rod and "keepings
in" after school could not do to rob
truancy of its romance and adventure,
the bureau has accomplished at one
stroke Cor at least at ane publication
by an itemized, indexed, tabulated and
destructive scientific study of truancy.
In bygone days the boy who skip

Truancy, it seems, is an obsession
and a symptom. The bureau has its
.ravages nicely calculated. 1t begins
at eight years, when a per cent OF
grades pupils are apt to play
hockey" and the ratio increases until
the epidemic hits pupils aged thirteen
years at the rate of 80 per cent. At
fourteen the plague ameliorates, and
only IA per cent of "delinquencies' is
reported, and at fifteen years the
ratio falls to a mere ) per cent.
The bureau has gone into the ma

mine the relation of race to truancy,
and it has made studies in various
grades. 1t wisely remarks, in one OF
these studies, "Of the cases studied,
ninety-five were boys and five were
