ANNUAL REPORTS
Report of the Attendance Officer
FOR THE YEAR 1913-1914
Mr. John D. Brooks, Supt. of Schools, and members of the School Board.
Dear Sirs :-
I hereby present the annual report of the Attendance Officer for the year ending June 30th., 1914.
Number of visits to schools 1261
Number of absences reported by teachers 1578
Number of parents notified 1578
Number of cases of truancy
146
Number of children returned to school from street 115
Number of truants returned to school from street 115
Number of complaints entered in court
7
Number placed on probation by the court
6
Number sentences by court 1
Number of visits to stores, factories, etc. 492
Number of certificates issued 70
Number of children illegally employed 7
Number of employers notified 7
I also assisted former Superintendent Willard in various ways which are too numerous to mention.
Every year my work is on the increase, as the State is continually making additional laws which mean more work. One of the new laws is that a minor must cither work or go to school until he or she is 16 years of age. Of course I find some who come under the class and it is a diffi- cult matter to force them to enter school after they have once left and gone to work.
Then again it is hard for the parents to procure proper clothing and shoes for the children so they can attend school and the charitable socie- ties had so many calls that I cannot get much from them to assist the parents.
This year when taking the School Census the State added more work by adding several new questions which take more time then it did before,
35
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
to obtain the information, also the age limit has been changed by the ad- dition of another year making it from five to sixteen years of age instead of five to fifteen, as it was formerly.
During the last year we have had a change in Superintendents as you all know, and I have had additional work during the time we were with- out one, also since the new Superintendent has been here I have assisted in things that I did not have to do before. So you see Gentlemen, my work is constantly growing.
Respectfully yours,
EDWARD H. PORTER, Attendance Officer.
Newburyport, Mass.
