ALL PARENTS TO Be SWORN
School Census Enumerators Will Hsvs New
Duty This Year.
THEY MUST GET NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
Secretary Of School Board viii CIV
Enumeration Special Instruc-
lions and Rehenrsnls be-
fore Work Begins.

There Is to be some swearing done whez
the school census enumerators begin work
next month. Not profanity, but oath-tak-
ing. For the first time parents are to SOL
EMMY swear Tor AFFIRM that they are tell
ing the truth about their children-which
is commonly said to be a very hard thing
for a parent to do.
The eighteen enumerators, two for each
ward, are to begin any time after the FIRST
OF the month, but must complete their work
by the 26tn, receiving scents for each namo
they record. In 1890 the total was $50. 1855:
last year 1t was 3 0,15o. AS the states ap-
preparation to the city is practically $3.50
per name Secretary Burgess of the Board OF
Education is determined that none shall be
missed and for that reason is taking par
ticular pains with the preparations this
year.
He Is sending out notices now OF a meet
ing OF the enumerators to be held In his
office May 81, at which he proposes to school
them in the work. He will be Mr.. John
Jones, the head OF a large and growing fam
lily, proprietor of q boarding house and
guardian Of the children Of several deceased
friends. In this dual role he will pose for
the enumerators and require them to ask
him the questions that they expect to ask
those on whom they call. The census is
supposed to include the names OF all per-
sons married or single resident In the city
no matter how long. between the ages Of
5 and 21. Thus the enumerator must learn
from the head Of each household not only
how many children he has, but how many
boarders, servants and friends are under
his roof and the names Of any Rbsentees
who are there ordinarily.
Oath is Innovation.
The plan Of putting the parents under
oath is new and in anticipation Of possible
remonstrance the secretary has informed
the enumerators that they must report the
names of any who refuse to give the re-
quired information that he may have them
arrested and prosecuted. The form OF the
oath Is this: you do solemnly swear Cor
aflrm) that you will fully and truthfully
answer all questions that the law requires
you to answer in the matter Of census
enumeration. so help you Cod"
The enumerators, six Of whom are princi-
pals of schools and two teachers in the
eighth grade, will each have a small book
to carry while at work. From It the en-
tries are TO be copied into the large record
and also onto blank sheets for the county
superintendent. These books are ruled
into columns, the notations at the top OF
the columns being these: Names OF par
ents and guardians. names Of children and
persons between 8 and 21 years, name OF
state or county where child was born, date
Of birth (month. day. year,, school or place

G. N. Dietg, who has made several visits

tropical countries differ in many respects
from those with which our people are gem

cred to remoye the headquarters Of the

Three Managers Act.

At the meeting of the board of managers
which adopted the resolution calling for
the sale Of the Omaha property there we're
present members Fine, Frazer and Scott,
and they all voted in favor OF the plan,
giving as their reason that while the order
spends thousands OF dollars annually In
the city the people do not feciprocate, and
as proof Of their claim they said that many
OF the towns OF the country much smaller
than Omaha had more members in the
order and that the society was given more
attention by press and public. The recon-
mendatlon Of the board will not become
effective unless adopted by the executive
council and opinion in that body is divided.
The sovereign commander and the sover-
eign clerk, with some OF the other mem
bers of the council. are In favor OF holding
the building as an asset Of the emergency
fund and placing its returns in that fund.
building in this city. while some are in
favor OF adopting the report OF the board
OF managers. AS the members Of the
board OF managers are also members Of the
executive council there will not be wanting
support for the recommendation.
The council yesterday afternoon sepa-
rated Mississippi from jurisdiction f and
placed 1t in a separate jurisdiction to be
known as jurisdiction NJ. This was done as
the state has now 10, 900 members, which

The change is simply political and has no
