mother was quite grieved, and during
the conversation which followed, she
said, 81 did not know there was such
person as Visiting Teacher connect
ed with the school system. I'm glad
to know it and wish to thank you
many, many times for calling to see
me today. l thoroughly appreciate
your work, your interest and the help
you have been today
The majority of home visits in
Kent county, which numbered .42S,
were to persuade parents to keep
their children in school regularly
though other things such as conduct,
scholarship, and home conditions had
quite share.
That the work of the Visiting
Teacher is succeeding is proven by
the figures taken from Miss Thomas
report.
School attendance in the State was
increased during the year 1920, just
22.2 per cent. In the year 1921 this
was increased by 81 per cent and the
present year 27 per cent, or a total
of 81 per cent in three years.
To bring this about, it was not
only necessary to visit the homes but
to interest the children themselves in
attending school regularly. Teams
formed with captains selected each
week. These captains selected their
helpers and so a personal touch was
given to the contest. The child-aatend-
ance-officials severely criticised their
chums for remaining out of schoo!
without legitimate reason.
To still further the interest, one
week during the year was selected to
be "Perfect Attendance Week."
Badges Awarded
Badges, starting with a color were
given as incentives, a different color
for each day the student attended, so
that the perfect attendance student
had badge of five colors at the end
of the week.
Then to interest the parents in the
schools and to have them get ac-
quainted with the teacher, there was
a special week for the parents to visit
the schools and observe the usual
routine of a day in school. The re.
suits were wonderful. In Kent county
there were 270 visits from fathers
TO from mothers and a total of%704
families were represented.
Regular school attendance is Of
great Importance to the taxpayers Of
the state from a financial standpoint

VISITING TEACHER
WORK IN STATE
How Cooperation Between
Home and School Is
Strengthened

How the Visiting Teacher of Kent
County has cut down truancy, inter-
ested the parents in their children's
education, and brought about big
economic saving to the State Treas
ury through inreased school attend
ance, is described by Miss Leila A.
Thomas in her recent report to the
State Board of Education. Incident
ally the work accomplished by Miss
Thomas in Kent County is being done
by the other Visiting Teachers OF
Sussex and New Castle counties.
These visiting teachers being made
possible through the foresight of the
Delaware School Auxiliary Associa-
ton.
The work of the Visiting Teacher is
based on the principle that in order
to educate the children, the home and
school must work together. Parents
must understand what the school is
trying to do in order to cooperate
with it. Teachers must understand
the child's home conditions in order
to know his educational needs.
The Visiting Teacher is the con-
Meeting link between the home and
the school; the schools representative
in the neighborhood and the neigh
borhood's representative in the school.
She visits the school to understand
their work and the homes of the
children needing assistance, in order
to establish friendly relation with
the parents to explain any difficulties,
and to enlist their cooperation.
In school system representing the
most advanced methods in education,
there is always the child who fails to
make the prescribed progress, gen.
orally because of poor attendance.
Then there are some who fail to
measure up to the expected standard
of behavior, and so every school has
a class termed difficult" These are
problems for the Visiting Teacher.
Hos To Be Tdctful
.. Truancy is problem which re-
quires much tact, for openly to accuse
any boy or girl of playing truant is
at once to arouse antagonism on the
part of the parents. Miss Thomas ex-
plains one case in detail as follows:
'On one occasion I was called to a
school on case of truancy more diff
fcult than any before because the
parents were entirely unaware of the
fact. The teacher explained that the
girl was habitual truant. 1t was
my duty as Visiting Teacher to go tc
the home of the girl and talk with the
mother. 1t is difficult to tell the par
ents their boy or girl, as the case may
be, has played truant and so the usual
question arises, How shall l break
the news?' Knowing the girl was
out of school I called, telling the
mother I was Visiting Teacher fo,
Kent county and being especially in.
terested in the progress of all the
boys and girls, wondered how her
girl was getting along since she had
been absent from school quite a BIZ
during the past two weeks.
Immediately the look on the
mothers face told the story-that the
absence from school was news, so
said, "May talk with your daughter
now?" The reply was: "She is a
school," Then came the discovery thai
the girl was really a truant. The

spends two and sometimes three years
in a grade the cost to the State is
twice as much. Thus the irregular
students elementary education has
cost about 5000. In many cases this
$3.50 could be saved.

ST. LOUIS.


st. Louis, Feb. 10.-Current bust
ness as q whole in the southeast
and southwest is dull but no EN-
phasis is placed here on that fact
for business is dull every year at
this time This dullness is far OF :
weighed in considering the signifi-
canoe of the conditions, by the
gradual sterilization of grain
prices, improved conditions in the
livestock industry and the firm con-
fidence among wool men all over
the west that wool is due for i
more prosperous period than has
bee nanticipated.
Tremendous activity is latent in
building construction. Architects.
contractors, manufactures and raw
material producers expect the
greatest comprehensive building
demand they have ever experienced.
They base this confidence on plans,
inquiries and financing OF projects
now in evidence. The only unsat's
factory phase of the construction
| industry is the resistance of the
! building trades to wage liquida-
| ton. There is growing resolu-
/ ton to apply drastic measures 20
| insure such reductions. Money is
/ very plentiful in this district Visit
| ing retailers, most of them from
| the southwest, are thronging this
market. They are buying conscr-
vatiyely on the assumption tn /
they will buy frequently during tbe
next six months. If there should
be sudden resumption OF con
struction as seems likely, mer'
chants everywhere will have shor
stocks and will be forced to buy
suddenly and heavily.
