This being the year for the biennial
return to the department of public in
struction, for basis for the distribution
of one-third Of the state appropriation
to schools, of the number of children be
tween six and sixteen years of age, we
deem it advisable to call the attention
of school directors to the fact 1t would
be well if at least one member of tn,
board, or some one authorized by them
would call on the county commissioner
; and ascertain if their district has beer
properly credited with the number o
children to which it is entitled This il
: especially necessary in cases If indie
D pendent districts and those where a por
tion of one district has been attached t,
l another for school purposes only
