Modern Attendance
Dept. Boon To Child

With the opening of school It Is
timely that social agencies designed
TO- the benefit Of children be
brought to the attention Of parents
that they may take advantage Of
them.
One OF the special services OF the
Detroit Board of Education is the
attendance department, which was
organized to deal with school chill
dren between the ages of seven and
sixteen. The work of the depart
men th:s been expanded to meet
the needs Of those between Ave and
tWenty-one.
Attendance department officers
are no longer the Simon Legree
be irded villains who we're oft pic
tured catching boys playing hockey
and dragging them back 10 school
or parents for a sound 'thrashing
in days gone by. He is today a spe-
cially trained teacher who is in
te.ested primarily in children and
parents-their relationship TO each
other and TO the school, He works
with and between the home and
school and he is interested not only
in truancy Gas in days pasD but
ir all the adjustment problems that
confront children. He is a person
who takes special care TO see that
the child who needs glasses has
them; that those who need carfare
and lunch money get it; that chill
dren needing medical or dental
care receive it. He is interested in
children and will do all that he
possibly can to see that any special
problems the child may have are
worked out satisfactorily. -
Modern attendance officers do not
feel that their responsibility to the
child ends when the child leaves
thu doorstep They feel. rather, that
this responsibility extends out into
the larger areas OF his life and
home; and that without this close
that he as a sociologist
has failed. a.
BY and large IL has been found
that parents are willing TO coop
crate with the attendance officers,
except in specific instances. but that
they do not always know how best
10 do so.
Naturally. the fact that in many

homes not one but both parents are
working in defense industries has
multiplied many times the scope
and difficulty OF the problems that
face this department-as in other
social service agencies. Each day
the staff is studying and conducting
research to determine what methods
are best to combat and avert these
EMBELLISHMENTS and (all too often)
the resultant tragedies. With the
continued and intensified co-opera-
ton OF parents these teachers will
be rendered able 10 do an even bet
ter job. So. IL the time ever comes
when you can be Of assistance to
them. 1t is your duty TO do so.
