TRUANCY LAW URGED
BY SUPT. 'BALLOU

The urgent need of an early pas
sage Of the Capper- Focht compulsory
school attendance bill for the District
OF Columbia was stressed by DR..
Frank w. Ballou. superintendent of
schools, at a luncheon held today by
the civic section of the Twentieth
Century Club, at the Women's City
Club.
This bill which was passed by the
Senate, but held up until too late by
the House last session, is of great i'm
portance to the District, DR.. Ballou
said, explaining the total inadequacy
of the present law.
DR.. Ballou laid emphasis on the
facts that under the present regula-
tions children can be out of school
three days out of four every week be-
fore the authorities can take hand;
that there is no standard of educa-
ton set. a pupil being able to stay in
the first grade until he is fourteen
and then stopping; that there is no
record of attendance. report of absent
pupils or proper census and statistics
of school children required under the
present laws. All these things and
other necessary adjustments are TAX
en- care of in the CapperFocht bill.
More truant officers and higher SAL
aries, he pointed out, are necessary
and incorporated in the proposed leg
islation.
1t has not been decided who is to
introduce the new bill in the present
session of Congress, Supt. Ballou said,
but the board Of education will take
the matter up and push its introduce
ton and passage as soon as it has
been approved by the budget bureau.
