in all your miserable life than you

you; it is the one desire Of my heart
at this moment to rid the earth Of
such a beast But I'll give you one
chance-just one. Don't you dare
call out or answer me. Do what / say.
Now step Blackjack along the table !;
that's it, a step at a time. Oh, I

on-yes, clear to that window; don't
lower those hands an inch until I say

you and pull up the sash--pull it up

Her eyes dilated with sudden aston
ishment and terror. She had caught
sight Of me, emerging from the black
shadow just behind her victim. Kirby
also perceived the quick change In the
face fronting him, read its expression
of fright, and sought to twist his head
so as to learn the truth. Yet before
he could accomplish this or his lips
could give utterance to a sound, my
hands closed on his throat crushing
him down to the sill, and throttling
him into silence between the wise of
my fingers.

Napoleon's hair was without a curl.
while Achilles and Ajax had very curly
locks. Black hair was not esteemed
by the Romans, and red hair was an

KEEPING KIDDIES
IN CITY SCHOOLS
Three Attendance Officers

Stay at Home
FAMILY COURT
MAY COME NEXT

Last February the Board Of Public
Education Of Wilmington adopted reso-
buttons to appoin' a chief compulsory
attendance officer and two assistants

tion in the local school system. and
achieved only after year, Of work upon
ihe part Of the board ana several civic
ORGANIZATIONS to stir up public opinion
10 support such a departure. In earlier
days. the police were the officials eX-
pected to aeEas truant officers. This
arrangement was soon found 90 be un-
fortunate, giving too much the idea
that the kiddies were being treated as
criminals. The police themselves did
not like the job, for this reason. For
a long period there was no truant Of
1cer. The teachers did what they
could to look after absentees. but they
were too busy with their routine school
work to be able to act as truant officers
n addition.
With the creation OF the Juvenile
Court, attention 10 school attendance
was given in the case Of juvenile court
cases put upon probation.
This left many children absentees un-
cared for, as fortunately not a big pro-
portion Of the little folks would get
into mischief sufficiently to bring them
to the attention Of the Juvenile Court.
In March, F. II. Bradbury, chief, and
his assistant compulsory education Of
flcers, Miss Elizabeth D. Hanson and
Mrs. Helen Megaw, took up their daily
duty Of caring for children absent from
schools Of the city without good rea-
son. In the brief number Of school
months since the attendance officers
have been in service, much valuable
help has been given by them. The at
tendance has been greatly benefited.
Perhaps a concrete case will give an
Idea Of what the attendance officers are
doing, and will also show how specially
appointed authorities can reach chill
dren who would very easily be over

sorry attendance officers were notified
through the Children's Bureau OF a boy
who had been out OF school for two
months. Mr. Bradbury found a pathetic
case. Domestic trouble had resulted I'm
separation OF the father and mother.
The 9-year-Old boy was boarding with
his father. Mr. Bradbury called al lne
address given and found the child in
his stocking feet. The landlady said that
the father had hidden the chlld's shoes
TO keep him from going out Naturally
he couldn't go TO school without shoes.
The chief attendance officer Informed
them that the law required that the
boy should so to school, so his shoes
Were found and he went or TO school
with the officer.
Indifference OF parents towards the
education OF their children Is given by
The officers as by far the most frequent
reason for non-attendance OF children
at school.
