they stimulate a desire for regular
attendance If the home conditions
are fair and the neighborhood en-
vironment bad, there is chance or
developing truant tendencies. An
other startling fact Is that ninety
five per cent OF the parents OF truant
children do not possess an eighth
grade education.
Solution of the physical problems
of the truant are comparatively easy
as compared with the mentsl ones.
Improved home surroundings will do
much to change the life OF the young
err members of the family. Removing
the family from one neighborhood to
another has worked wonders with
some Of our boys. In one school they
were being reported two and three
times a week but when they enter
ed new school they became regular
in their attendance and fairly pro-
ficient in their studies. Other truant
groups have been cleared up by re-
moving the gang leader who was eX'
erting a bad influence over his COM
panions.

after the March vacation. A warrant
was drawn for her and given to Miss
Eva J. Stevens of the Wells building.
Miss Stevens reported the transac-

| solves Mental Propiem.
Solving the problem Of the men
tally atypical child in Keokuk will
| do much to solve the truant pro-
blem. One Of the real problems we
must face is that Of engaging the
| interest of this group in some line
of work that will be a benefit when
they are thrown on their own re-
sources The mentally atypical per-
son is almost invariably detriment,
If not menace, to his community.
His is the clouded or distorted VI
sion likely to be productive of the
criminal. This condition may be the
result of physical defects remediable
by a surgical operation, such as the
removal of adenoids and diseased
tonsils. In the mentally atypical
children showing no physical defects
likely to cause trouble, the problem
is one requiring the skill of spe-
cially trained teacher who should have
no other work than this. 1t would
be a long step forward If a room
could be established for care Of these
misfits.
Many Of the calls have been to
homes in which sickness was the
cause of absence and in few in
stances it was my good fortune 10
be able to discover the existence OF
conta gious diseases and report same
to the Board of Health who, without
delay, took the necessary precau-
lions. In other homes absence was
caused by lack of wearing apparel
due to the fact that the father was
not in regular employment. These
latter conditions, while coming I'M
der the observation of the truant Of
ficer can well be remedied through
the cooperation of existing philan-
thropic organizations.
