Annual report of the town officers of Wakefield Massachusetts : including the vital statistics for the year . s were at fault. In addition to the above there werequite a number of cases investigated, to which our attention was calledwithout notice from teachers or Superintendent of Schools (of whichno record was kept), a large majority of which proved upon investi-gation to be cases where the parents were wholly at fault. Of the 25cases of truancy two were taken before the courts. One was takenon probation in the lower court and the other was sentenced to thetruant school for the term of two years. An appeal was taken andbail furnished. The boy was then sent to a private institution inBoston. When the case was reached in the Superior Court he wastaken on probation with the understanding that if he gave furthertrouble he should be sentenced at the next term of court. We hadno further trouble. We desire to thank the Superintendent of Schools and teachers fortheir assistance and co-operation in our duties. Respectfully submitted, ALVIN L. VANNAH,R. F.
