APPENDIX.
TRUANCY REPORT.
TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :-
It gives me pleasure to submit the report of my work as Truant Officer for 1902.
During the past year there have been reported thirty- six cases of truancy, of which thirty were boys and six were girls. Four have been reported a second time, and two a third time. This shows a marked decrease in the number of truants over the previous year.
It is pleasing to state that it has not been necessary to send anyone to the truant school this year. Every case of truancy reported has been promptly attended to and many times children have been found about the streets and sent to school. The factories have been visited and the list of em- ployees inspected.
I take pride in seeing that children are in school. I know how important it is that boys and girls should get an « education. They do not always realize this and must be forced to attend. The time will come when they will be glad that they were obliged to attend school regularly.
I wish to express my thanks to the School Committee, Teachers and Superintendent for their appreciation of my efforts.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT S. GARLAND,
TRUANT OFFICER.
