the Suffragists Declare

Mrs Norman D. r. Whitehouse,

effort to save the women's bills for
industrial reform.
Smiling mysteriously. women in Mrs.

what had called her back to the state
capital so soon after her devastating
visit on Monday, when many Senators
who opposed the bills found themselves
put through third degree. They said,
however, that, "the situation might
change" and that perhaps the protest
meeting called for Monday at Cooper
Union might be turned into a jubilee
at the eleventh hour.
Mrs. Whitehouse will speak at the
meeting, and Mrs. James Lees Laid
law, vice chairman of the Woman Suff-
rage Party, who presided over the des-
TIMES of the women's bills during
Mrs. Whitehouse's absence in Switzer-

these measures" said Mrs. Laidlaw
yesterday afternoon at the headquar-

Committee, 303 Fifth Avenue. IF they
obey the wishes of their constituency
in opposing the bill, what have they to
fear from publicity? If they disobey
the wishes of the voters who elected
them-why, then, they deserve pub
lcity. The present Legislature was
elected by women, as we'll as by men,
and one of the issues upon which wom-
en- were particularly insistent was that
of industrial reform.
The meeting, which is called for
Cooper Union on Monday. will be the
first assembly of indignant women
voters which the state has seen since
women were enfranchsed. Two mil

the twelve organizations which have

Growth Of Truant

Reported, Says Cllatfiela.
Blaming Many Shortages

Truancy is on the increase in the
public schools. With prospects Of a
larger truant list on its hands. the
Board of Education is unable to cone
with the situation and 200 committed
truants arc at liberty because Of lack
of parental schools
These facts were made public vester-
day by George II. Chatdeld, director of
statistics, bureau of attendance, who
said that his present force Of inspectors
cannot possibly handle the growing
''To begin with, we have been able to
care for only 500 of the 500 truants
committed last year." Mr. Chatfeld
said. ",Therc is one fairly adequate
parental school in Flushing. The one
IN Brooklyn is Il claptrap. In the mean
time, numbers of truants go unpun-
ished, and this condition is not good
for the morale of the pupils"
Bad habits have been on the increase.
Mr. Chatteld said. "Infantile PARALYSIS.
the Goa shortage and the Spanish in
f1uenza have kept children out of school
for long periods. At the end of few
weeks of absence they don't want to
90 back and often parents will not make
them 60"
Hardly have we got over these
handicaps," said Mr.. Chatfeld, "than
we were confronted with shortage of
teachers. We are now turning away
thousands of pupils because we cannot
care for them. Yet the law says that
they must be kept in school. Faced
with these conditions, the bureau of
attendance is expected to cover the
ground without sufficient inspectors.
PRINCIPALS arc constantly asking us to
investigate cases. There is more work
tc do and fewer men in comparison to
do 1t. New York is now behind Phila-
delphia and other American cities in
keeping absence records"
70 stop truancy it is essential, Mr.
Chattleld declared, to have more teach
ers, more attendance inspectors and
more facilities for caring for real
truants.
