CHILDREN'S WELFARE,
NOT USE OF FORCE,
IS ATTENDANCE IDEA

Public school attendance activities
in Indiana are taking on a new form
of procedure, according to Miss
Blanche Merry, state attendance Off
GER, who was in Richmond Thursday
consulting with Superintendent w G.
Bate relative to the selection of a
city attendance official.
The old idea of every absent child
being a truant is wrong" said Miss
Merry Under the attendance law
passed at the last session of the leg
islature no child will be called or
considered a truant until he or she
has been declared so by court
Instead of the truant officer of for
mer days, according to Miss Merry.
the new plan provides for an attend
ance official whose duty will be to
assist students and parents in ma king
it possible for the child to stay in
school. The welfare of the individual
child is the object, rather than the
forcing of attendance, she said.
Only city and county school super
intendents will have the power to ex-
cuse child from classes under the
law. Teachers will hand in daily re-
ports of their absentees. The list will
be divided into three groups-those
whose absence is questioned, those
who the superintendent knows to be
absent because of illness or other
good causes, and those who the su
perintendent knows is absent without
cause.
To Smooth Obstacles.
Students absent without cause, and
those whom the superintendent cues
| tons, will be looked up by the at
! tendance official Under no circum.
stances 1t it the idea to hint at corr.
pulsory attendance. The purpose is
to help the student over any Difficult
ties interfering with steady attend
ance.
In one case cited by Miss Merry.
! the county attendance Official, lady
arranged for clothing to be sent to a
needy family in which illness had ap
j peared. This policy of assistance ard
! cooperation, Miss Merry said is to be
strictly followed in every county il
| Indiana
Attendance officers are being pro
vided for every county, and for every
city where the school enumeration is
1000 or more. A. A. Lindley has beer
appointed attendance officer fol
Wayne county. The city school board
! is soon to make an appointment of 1
/ city attendance officer.
Miss Merry, as state attendance of
ficer, is visiting school superintend
ents in cities and counties of Indians
with the purpose of helping in organi
cation work. She is enthusiastic
about the attendance work. and be
lieves the new method will insure fol
better and more helpful training fol
