children 10 work than for them to be
in school
The increased cost of living has
caused more mothers than formerly
to leave their homes and find work.
In many such homes the Oldest
school child OF the family Is ex-
pected to stay out of school and care
for the smaller children. Or often,
when a child from such home is
sent to school, because of lack OF
home supervision, he becomes per-
sistent truant.
"Truancy. however, in the terms in
which it has been thought of and de-
fined for many years. is not appliea-
bic to the majority OF absences OF
school children today. The greater
part of presentday absences is due
to the aforementioned conditions,
or illness of the child himself
indifferent, shiftless parents have
to be dealt with always. Much Of
our time is spent in working with
this class OF people. Many of these
parents are quite persistent ana III
genious in eyading the law. In a
large number of cases repeated visits
have had to be made to one home.
Some of the parents and children
were brought into juvenile court
more than once.
I'm addition to the attendance
work this department has charge OF
The Omaha Daily Bee Shoe fund.
which is collected by The Bee. Vol
untary subscriptions are sent to the
newspaper by generous hearted peo-
pie. All applications for shoes are
thoroughly investigated and strict
account is kept. Credit should be
extended to the teachers who give
their time to going to the depart
ment stores with the children and
seeing that they are properly fitted.
"All cases Of destruction of school
property have been investigated and
adjusted by this department. When
unable to collect damages the de-
partment brought the case into
juvenile court and damages were
collected there"

MARKED DESIRE

Truancy in its Strict Sense Is

senCes Due to Sick
ness or Work.

J. B. Carver, chief attendance Of
fcer of the public school system,
notes marked improvement in the
desire of foreign-born parents to
send their children to school.
1--WE have found that one-third
Ct our trouble was due to the for
e;gn-born parents failure to appre-
ciate the value of education to their
children" Mr.. Carver said.
He summarized the years work in
the following words:
The work of the attendance de-
partment has grown with the in
crease in population. Thi. was evil
denced in one district by the en-
trance OF ESQ negro children from the
south during the fall months. These
children have had little education
and not much inclination for more
education. Many other schools have
had a proportionate increase and
added problems in attendance. Some
schools have been confronted by the
problem Of children attempting to
leave school and 60 to work. The
parents, especially the foreign-born.
were inclined to believe that it is
more necessary and profitable for the
