TruaHt Officers Rannrt

Town School Committee. Gentlemen.
 This month most of the work of the truant officer has been done in con Junction with the enumerating. He has, however, in addition written one letter and made seven personal visits.
 The enumeration showed that there are in town 1880 children between the ages Of and Is. This is an increase ot 5T over last year and of l45 over two years ago.
 Children begin to draw the state money at 1 years of age, but are not compelled 10 attend school until they are | Of the children under years of age III are mol yet in school.
 Children may leave school at14if they can pass the ltest given by the state board. Of those over If years, l29 have already left school.
 Last year there were on the list lOl children b years of age. They were this year beyond the required age and so were lost 10 the census list, but their places were filed by the 137 who have become years of age. Of these 187, 43 are found in school. The other 94 are considered by their parents as too young to attend.
 This year there are l2S children l5 years of age and 124 who are IA years old. Of the l5 year gods 52 attend school and 76 are at work, and of the l4 year olds T are in school and B at work. This shows that when children get to be 14 about 10 percent drop out and go to work, while when they reach the age of b about 50 percent leave for work.
 On the enumeration list six pupils were reported as not in school from lack Of clothing. They are now all at- tending without the aid of charity.
 Six children also reported as attend ing the grade schools beyond the lim- its of the town. Eight were going to the Trade School and ten to Miss Rob- 1nson's priVate school, 56 were in the High, 59 in the Sth grade, 15 in the Gary, 10 at Putnam Heights, l9 at East Putnam, D at the Sawyer, 110 at the Smith Street, SPA at the Israel Put nam, TOP at St. Mary's.
 These are the numbers in the various schools as reported by the parents and are not always in exact accord with the school registers but they serve to give good idea of the situation.
 Of those who failed to secure perma. nent certificates all but one are now at- tending school. One rather than com- ply with the law preferred to move out of the state.
 Respectfully submitted,
 Lewis E. Battey.

Promoiionist and

Like Suggestion

The editorial published in the
Bulletin on Friday in regard to
the Stockton Invasion brought out
one of the strongest features of pub
licity that has been presented" said
A. p. Taylor, secretary of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee, today
IF the Stockton boys care enough
about broadening their education to
raise campaign for funds to bring
them to Hawaii. it stands to reason
that other schools will do the same
thing. Romance thrtves in all insti-
tutions. and youth has always looked
toward strange lands 1t is certain
that the parents of the students will
look kindly to any plan that will give
the boys broader view of life.
The staging of great meet in Ho-
nolulu would give Hawaii wonderful
publicity The advantage gained
along educational and athletic lines
would be worth much to the high
schools of the nation and to Hawaii.
II would mean new field of publicity
that could not be reached in any othe
way. Stockton accomplished what j
set out to do, and other schools can
also feel the lure of Aloha Land" he

ed the idea as set forth in the edito-
rial, believing it to be one Of the best
means Of publicity yet suggested,
'lf one school can do it, others
can,'' he said this morning. All that
is needed is to bring the idea to the
attention of the various schools and
If this Is done have no doubt it will
result in Honolulu and the Hawaiian
islands becoming the mecca for the
Western schools, as Washington, ID.
C., is to the Eastern schools.
The expenses of the trip of course
would be higher. but the Stockton
boys raised the necessary amount for
their visit. Youth always wants 10 see

such trip would certainly more than
