the following summary Oh tne amendments " the
Sch0Ol Law:
l. Teachers certificates and all claims against the
Free School Fund must be sworn to by persons
presenting the claims All Trustees are authorized
and required to administer oaths, iree OF cnarse,
to persons by whom such claims are presented.
2. The same person cannot act rs trustee ana
Teacher Of public school. "x - ~.
8. The law authorizing, the levy OF District
School Tax has been repealed
4. The compensation allowed County Schooi COM
missioners is three dollars day for the Time act-
ally employed provided the number OF days IN
| each and every year for which said compensation
shall be allowed shall In no case exceed one hum
dred days, except in the County Of Charleston.
where the number of days shall not exceed one
| hundred and fifty.
This is the year In which the Trustees are requi.
| red to make, or to have made, an enumeration OF
all children between the ages OF SIX ard sixteen
years The District school Tax hayfng been aDoi-
ished, there Is no fund from which the trustees
| can be paid Tor this w1rk. Iney are, however,
earnestly requested TO maze the enumeration. Inc
work Is not onerous and it Is Of the utmostimpor-
tance that 1t should be done. Without the infor-
nation thus obtained, 1t will be Impossible for Inc
Legislature at the regular session TO make correct
estimate upon which 70 Dase the app[opllauon iof
free schools for the next year. At hye cents per
capita, which has heretofore Deen alomeo lor this
| enumeration, the expense OF making ~, assuming
| that the school population Is about what 1t was In
1875, would be nearly $4,000 The saving Of this;
amount will surely be, to all Trustees who really
desire to promote the interests OF tho public:
