TRUANT TRAPPERS
IN GRAMMAR SCHOOL
Three Boy Students at South
Central Building Probe the
Reasons for Rookie.
NOT MUCH LIKE OLD DAYS
By A. R. GRCH.


Morris Mclaughlin, Leo Fired aud
Allen Erickson, granted me an inter-
view the other day
Who are Morris McLauehl'n, Leo
Erie" and Allen Erickson You ask
Why, they're the juvenile truant OF
hCers down AT the South Central
school They are boys OF the Eighth
grade who have been appointed by
Miss Frances Gross, the principal, to
go out after children that don't ap-
pear at school and bring them in.
At the beginning Of the year there
used to be four or i've truants every
day. Now there are almost none.
I'VE know that if we stay out one
OF those boys will come TO our house
and get Us or tell our parents we
didn't come to school" the children
say.
Miss Gross called the three boy
down to her Office to see me. AiIer
we got acquainted they related some
thrilling experiences Of their cam
Pa'Sh asdlllSl II uaHlN
Their Experiences.
Once | went after a boy and
found him in an alley playing. SAID
Morris, earnestly And | told him
to come % school and he said he
dldl't want to, So went to grab
hold OF him and he hung on TO a tree
and | started to pull him loose and
he commenced TO cry. So | let him
go. But he came to school the next
day"
How's that for zeal in a good cause
Leo, who wears sweater, foot
ball shoes, long trousers and a pleas
ant grin, said he had eight on his list
one day.
Il went to one house once for
little girl" he said. But she said
she'd be late, but told her she'd
better come anyway So her sister
told her to come. But she began to
cry. Next day she came and she's
been coming ever since"
Allen is the only one of the young
officers who wears short pants. But
he Is a good officer just the same.
Once | went for a boy AID he
come to school," he related /.
$50 | told him he couldn't belong to
the basket ball team and he never
would learn anything if he didn't come
to school. He came then. | guess
he didn't want to lose out on the bas-
ket ball team"
In Olden Days.
In the olden days it was BOYS of
his very age who were always play
ng hockey" and giving their teachers
he most trouble.
1t is cunningly clever idea of the
modern school to give them the re-
possibility of seeing that others don't
10 this. 1t helps the school and it
lelps the boys. They are proud of
heir duty.
We do other things, too" said
.eo. Sometimes we ring the bell in
he morning and then go out and see
any children are coming and tell
hem to hurry in before we ring the
ardy bell"
yes" said Morris, "and at inter
MISSION we play the victrola for the
hildren to march out BY"
And" added Allen, I'VE cleaned
If the school ground too"
Miss Gross beamed upon the boys.
Very fine boys" l declared. Most
charitable boys"
And the three young officers filed
ut and tiptoed back to their room
wearing the satisfied grins Of men
Who have useful work to do and do
well

For Itching Scalp

You do not want slow treatment
for itching scalp when hair Is falling
and the dandruff germ Is killing the
hair roots. Delay means-no hair.
Get, at any drug store, bottle OF
zemc for 25c or 500 for extra large
size. Use as directed. for it does the
work quickly. 1t kills the dandruf
germ, nourishes the hair roots and i'm
mediately, stops itching scalp, It is
a pure, reliable, antiseptic liquid, is not
greasy, is easy to use and wifi not stain
Soaps and shampoos are harmful, as
hey contain alkali. The best thing to
use for scalp irritations Is reno. for I
is safe and also inexpensive.
