Without a doubt this trip, so illogical and so recklessly extravagant, was due entirely to a boy's thirst for adventure. Color it as I may, the fact of my truancy remains. I longed to explore.
Andrew Drew, chairman of the Industrial Committee of the School Board, declared his conviction that "truancy is to be credited with nearly the whole of our juvenile criminality." But for years there seemed to be no way of convincing the New York School Board that the two had anything to do with one another.
Some time before this, loud calls from the house and faintly returned answers from the creek had apprized him of Bip's shameless truancy; but he was fully expecting the mountaineer to go with them until this very minute when he saw what character of vehicle stood before the house. He arose and crossed to her, casually asking: "Where's Dale?"
"Tell us another story " piped a high treble voice, " a story about the beautiful Princess who married the King." The demand was seconded by an immediate clamor of eager voices. The girl rose unsteadily and shook her head. For a moment she stood looking off over the miles of sea with her hands at her breast and her eyes clouded, oblivious of the small companions of her truancy.
It can be given out that she has gone to Maritzburg, and I shall tell her" Karyl smiled with a cynical humor "that I am over-weary with this task of Kingship, and that I shall join her within a few days for a brief truancy from the cares of state." "It may be the safest thing," reflected the officer. "It at least frees our minds of a burdensome anxiety." "I shall persuade her," declared Karyl.
Are you hearing me, Cornal?" he pressed, eager to compel something for the youth whose days were being wasted. "Speak to Miss Mary," was all the Cornal would say. "I have nothing to do with him, and John's heedless now, for he knows his plan for the army is useless." The dominie shook his head. "Man!" he cried. "I cannot even tell of his truancy there, for her heart's wrapped up in the youth.
Some of our investigations of course had no such untoward results, such as "An Intensive Study of Truancy" undertaken by a resident of Hull-House in connection with the compulsory education department of the Board of Education and the Visiting Nurses Association. The resident, Mrs.
He promised them safe-conduct to the reservation and assured them that their truancy would be overlooked, were they to come back now. He went on to tell of the rations which would be issued to them. He dwelt on that; he mentioned the leanness of their bodies and described at length the stores of food that were awaiting for them in the reservation warehouse.
But for the liveliest truancy, keep an eye out for red-haired and freckled lads, and make them your counselors! Lads so spotted and colored, I have found, are of unusual enterprise in knowing the best woodland paths and the loftiest views. A yellow-haired boy, being of paler wit, will suck his thumb upon a question. A touzled black exhibits a sulky absorption in his work.
A truce to this truancy, and method be my maxim: let us for a moment link our reasonings, and solder one stray rivet; man being a writing animal, there still remains the question, what is writing? And what, O what "how poor is he that hath not patience!" shall we predicate of the average viscera of circulating libraries? abominable viscera! isn't that the word, my young Hippocrates?
