The proposed measure provides that
''any child who shall be deemed to be
an habitual truant, an habitual absentee

sired. After commitment provision is
made for parole, discharge, and recon-
itent. If found to be ineorrigible, the
child is then to be committed TO the
state training school, The bill defines
habitual truants, habitual absentees and
habitual school offenders.

schools use the cottage system, each cot.

children under cottage father" and

a unit and supplies the much needed
family life for the children.
