'1 ho Truancy I'mlilem.
The Scrauton Tribune comes out with a
new solution of the truancy problem under
tho Compulsory Education law. It appears
that in Lancaster an investigation proved
that thu parents of a uumbor of truants wore
too poor to clotho their children piupcrly lor
school and a system of collections from well-to-do
persons has been inaugurated to
secure clothing for tho needy. This is one
way to overcome tho ditlirulty, and n second
is for the state to prouilo not only frcu
schools and freo books, but free lunches and
free clothing for the destitute. This
would bo paternalism run mad, so thu
Tribune comes to the front with the
suggestion that "there is no rea
son why the pupils already in our
schools should not bo converted, outside of
school hours, iuto a volunteer army of can
vassers for tho benefit of othor children who
do not by reason of poverty now attend the
public schools." There Is every reasou why
schoolchildren should not bo used for such u
purpono. It seems to be a fad of tho day
that when anything Is needed, from a battle
ship to a church organ, tho school children
aro exploited. Teaching children to beg for
purposes of all kinds is not conducivo to tho
best elements of citizenship. Moreover,
children are sont to school to bo taught and
educated, and to organize them lutu can
vassers would bo wrong in principle and
application.
