Therese F Connolly, Fordham University

Abstract

With the dawn of each new year a vast majority of the populace pause long enough to ponder upon past accomplishments as well as to formulate resolutions to overcome any recognized transgressions. Thus it is with the theme of this study wherein the writer plans to review a segment of achievement executed by the Bureau of Attendance, while also scrutinizing areas of possible defect. This latter statement does not imply the Bureau of Attendance is under any cloud of suspicion, but concurs with the adage, "nothing is perfect." Therefore, any improvement of service which may be developed as a result of this study will not only enhance the present high aims and standards of the Bureau of Attendance, but will also be a realization of one of the purposes in the field of research.
