THEY MUST APPOINT.
County Commissioners Have No
Option in Truancy Matter.

I. L. Dayhoff, state superintendent of
public instruction, has decided that
county commissioners have no discre-
ton in the matter of appointing truancy
officers. He holds that the commission
ers have to confirm whoever the coun-
ty superintendent names.
The Shawnee county commissioners
have been aware since County Attorney
Hungate decided that the law must be
followed that there is little question as
to their right to do other than confirm
but the commissioners do not relish the
fact that Superintendent Wright named
George Bushong who is a Democrat.
The commissioners have postponed final
action until December IA and Wright
has threatened to bring mandamus
proceedings to compel the board to con-
firm his man.
