A decision was made lately by Judge
Criswell, of Venango Co, in case that
is attracting the attention OF the coun
| ty eoInmissir ners in nearly every coun-
ty in the State. The compulsory ed
ucation law of May 16, 1895, calls for
the enumeration of all children be
tween the ages Of and 13 years by the
county assessors and fixes the amount
they shall receive for the work, but
does not state from whom they shall re
ceive their. compensation. John H.
Mcpherson, assessor, brought suit
against Venango county to recover for
such work. Judge Criswell decided
that as the county pays assessors for
all other labors performed by them
they should also pay for the enumera
tion of the children.
