SUPERINTENDENT GARR IS AFTER TRUANTS tTulfllltng Whnt He Proclaimed in His Annual Report Submitted Last June Two Arrests Made Saturday ' and Moie Likely to Follow. In his tiiinuut report, HUliinlttcd to the jchnol board at Its meeting In July. City Jbiperlnlcndolit of Schools -Klinor : 15. Chirr dciill with the enforcement of the ctiiutii1foiy education at;t, as fol lows: "Never holme In tlilH school district whs such an aggressive policy pursued leading to tlir enforcement of the com pulsory t'ditoatloii act. The fact that at the beginning of tliu lust term there was an increase of only twenty-seven 'over the coriesponillng month of the prec'edlng' term, while at the close of the previous term there wax an Increase of 1!W over the number at the close of the previous term, should be at least some evidence of what was ticcom; pllshed In this respect and also afford some encouragement of what can be accomplished If the proper methods are Bin-sued. "No employer of child labor should keep In his employ children below the uge of li! years, who are not able to read and write the Kngllsh language Intelligently us the law reiiulres. Eni ployprs and parents should be more considerate for the future welfare of the children. Children should be kept In school until they have at least a fair understanding of the Kngllsh branches; in fact, their1 are very few cases where children should be allowed to discon tinue at school before having completed the grammar grade work. 1 earnestly time the strict enforcement of the law in Its entirety the ensuing school term." Superintendent (larr Is now carrying out the threat or promise Implied In this portion of his report. Xotwlth tandlng the numerous notltieatlons to parents and the arrests made during this term, there Is a noticeable disposi tion among certain parents to disre gard the law ;md the friendly winn ings from the superintendent. This tendency has grown so of late that patience has ceased to be 11 virtue with Sir. fSarr, and he has inaugurated n movement against tmrents that he firmly proposes to carry on with vigor and perseverance until this lax spirit be broken. The first step in this awakened move ment was on Saturday, when Truant Oflicer .loseph Maunloii anested .John Santanna and John Harris, of the Bel mont section, ami took them before Alderman linker, of the First ward, on charges of truancy. As indicated, there are a number of parents who persist In Ignoring the law, whose elreunistniiet's, It is claimed, per mit them keeping tlielr children at school. It the steps that have been taken fall to bring an Immediate re sponse, prosecutions will fallow and will be carried on unrelentingly and with no thought of leniency where It is established that there Is either woeful indifference or willful disrezard. Tru ancy must cease, Is the ultimatum of Superintendent fJarr. and with the aid of Truant Oflicer Mannlon and the power of the law this edict will become rffeelive. Hehrueder, the extensive contractor, of Sci Hilton, has the coniraot, somewhat of n departure from Ills methods, and will hustle the construction, It will be a boon to Oarbondale miners when the breaker will have been completed. The Coalbrook breaker Is woefully Inade quate, full time being virtually out of the itiicstlon, FROJI FORMER HOME. Tribute to Late of Syracuse Paper John L. Goliands.
