these classes.
During the school year ending June
30, 1916, the schools were in session
an average Of t75 days. This is an
increase Of 6 days over the preceding
wear and Is days over 1910. Each day
90 out of every 100 pupils who were
enrolled were present at the school.
This regularity indicates that truancy
or willful neglect on the part OF par
ents is not widespread in Vermont,
vet both do exist and the administra-
ton of the truancy laws is very effec-
tive. A considerable number OF chill
dren who are required by law to be IN
school do not enter school. Many
teachers do not have confidence in the
willingness of local officers to en-
force the attendance laws and SO 40
not report cases of unlawful absence.
That they are justified in their beliei
is shown by the fact that for 1916 only
174 arrests followed 10,399 complaints
There is need of more strict enforce
ment of the attendance laws and a
more careful census of school children
The Board recommends that teachers,
principals and superintendent be re-
ouired to report truancy cases to the
Commissioner of Education and that
the execution of the laws be given tc
competent parole officers.
Section 1T of No. GA of the Acts Of
1915 provides that after the STATE
Board of Education has paid the ex'
penses of general administration, the

Lane. "has so large draft been MADE
on the natural resources of our coun-
try as during this year, and never De.
fore have the metals been extracteo
from these ores with less waste or
utiIizd to better advantage In advanc-
ing the general prosperity OF the
country. Even as written in the plaih
figures of 1916 production the wonder
ful record of our mines sets 1orth
degree of national industrial inde-
pcnocnce only hoped for few years
ago. =,
again copper stands out as the
hest illustration of how American
mines can meet world demand. Inc
output of nearly two billion pounds Oh
rhe red metal is double that OF ten
wears ago and its value is twice that
Of the copper produced in 1918. Add
to this the facts that in value copper
now contends with iron for first place
among the metals and that together
the amount of these two metals pro-
duced last year had value OF more
than one billion dollars and we have
measure of what this country can con-
tribute in useful metals.
"The output Of zinc from domesu'
ores increased last year 95,ooo tons
which makes a new record for ina
metal. the total value of spelter iron
