and Witnesses Many Inter- ruptions of Games During School Hours.

OHN B. QUINN, chiet~ attendance officer, who is the bogie man to all the truant children of 8&t. Louis and ‘who is in charge of the en- forcement of the compulsory education law in the city. has compiled records ‘Tor the first 15 weeks that the law has Deen in force. With his staff of assistants he has worked so quietly that few St. Louis- ans outside of the families visited have an idea of the scope and benefits of the work.

More than 7500 cases of children who should attend, but had not attended school regularly, were investigated. ‘Truants were made to attend school, ehildren who attended irregulariy were made to realize their duty, many little boys and girls were taken from fac- tories and given the opportunity of an education, and hundreds of children of foreigh e@ktraction, who had only lived in St. Louis a few weeks or months and knew nothing of the chance they have for a free education, were ylaced in the schoolroom.

In the public schools for the frst Quarter there was an average attefd- -@nce of 68,102, an increase of 2932 over sart vear.

On account of the World's Fair, Mr. Quinn believes that there were muvore #ohoo! children in St. Louie last autumn than this past fall. The increased at- fendance is attributed by him to the thorough work of the attendance off- cers.

Kieney the Law’s Sponsor.

_ The law they work under was intro- @uced and fostered by State Senator Thomas E. Kinney, at the late General Astembly and approved April 11. It Tecuires the attendance at echool of all children under 4 years old, unless ex- oused by the attendance officer, and the Attendance of al] children over 14 years of age and under 16, unless the child is Msefully employed. - Quinn has four deputies. They are Dwyer, August Casali, Maxim ol and Albert W. Scott. colo: ed. ' deputies investigate on an aver- exe of to wases adav. Casali @nd Paswel speak a number of lan-

cost? We cant pay money. We are

too poor,’’ they say.

It takes a long while, at times, to ty that the schools are free to all children and that the children must at- tend if they are within the prescribed age. When this is made clear, as a rule, all objections vanish.

The joy these parents show when they learn that theit children may have the udvantages of an education is one of the rewards of the attendance officer's work.

A Polyglot Officer.

To work successfully with this polyg'ot population, the attendance officer musi be a mas.er of many tongues. Paswe! could qualify for the superintendency o: another tower of Babel. He spéaks eight languages fluenily and can under- stand and make himself understood in ;< number of dialects. This is of special importance working among the Greeks and Italians for among them the dig- leots are #o different that they amount almost to a separate language.

“We will go down In South St. Louis first,’ Paswel said, “I have a report of three neglected boys there who do not attend schvoi.”’

The boys—Andrew. Theodore andj Wil- lie Bentz—were not at their home, i7(s South Seventh street. “They run the streets, look for them there,” a neigt- bor said.

Paswel went to the alley. A crowd of boys saw and recognized him.

“Truant officer,"’ they yelledand secat- tered, like a covey of quails when the hawk swoops at them. Paswel pursued.

The chase led to a coal yard and there the Bentz boys were cornered. The big gate thrdugh which they had hoped to escape had been closed without thetr knowledge.

The First Capture. The attendance officer marshalled

them in line and, holding the two larger boys, took them to their home. The

father was away. Paswel declared his ukase.

“You must go to school tomorrow or to the House of Refuge. |

The boys promised to attend Pestaloz- zi School.

The next boy that was stopped showed a. clean bill. e attended 85. Peter and Paul School, but Was excused that aft- ernoon to go with his mother and buy a new school suit.

“Hey, gimme a match,”” commanded the 10-year-old, showing a_ cigarette stump to justify his request. Pawsel caught him, demanding the cigarette, for the attendance officers are a!so mentors to the boys they mect.

But the boy held back. Not until Paswel lectured him until tears came did the urchin relinquish his “smoke.”’

“Truant officer, truant officer,” two boys called from their perch In a lumber yard on South Third street.

Their courage was suspicious, aid not atternpt to run, nered them.

The child listened. wonderingly while she was being told that she would have to go to school fur five more years if she lived in St. Louis. An older sister. who joined her, was instructed to send Belle to Pestalozzi School. She gave her promise. Tlfe Osbornes live at 1806 South Second street.

HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK.

The of John A. McCall and the an- nouncement that Frederick A. Burnham will resign the presidency of the Mutual Reserve as soon as he can arrange restitution, mark the wind up of the in- surance investigation. Whether criminal prosecu- tions will follow remains to be seen. But that is not very important. The whole world knows the truth. We all know that for 20 years we have been blinded, gulled and bamboozled. The men we have been accustomed to respect as very kings of practical thought, constructive geniuses of a high order and pillars of society of unquestionable strength, turn out to be poor creatures with absolutely not one qualification for positions requiring real intellect and moral force and consistency. The Blair reputa- tion in St. Louis was not more hollow than the repu- tations of these unhappy men, who posed as great powers in the financial world. It is much to know the truth.

A committee appointed by the New York Cham- ber of Commerce reports to that body that publicity is the only weapon to combat “the spirit of sordid commercialism, which has clouded the judgment of those who have been the custodians of large and im- portant trusts, causing t#em to depart from the well trodden paths of rectitude and high honor, which heretofore has characterized our merchants and bankers, revealed by the recent imsurance in- vestigation.” As if to emphasize this the commit- tee concludes that no restrictive legislation can in- sure honest administration. This declaration is es- pecially noteworthy because it comes from the first, commercial body in the country, an organization of conservative men who are not in the habit of telling what they are doing. Legislation insures nothing; publicity insures everything; that is practically what this committee thinks of administrative ques- tions of finance. A man who is trusted will fall under temptation, no matter what the law says. But if his every act is watched he cannot make away with the trust funds.
