DISTRICTS MUST REPORT.
School Census Must Be Paid or Funds

State Superintendent Dayhoff has
sent out a circular to the county
superintendents calling attention to
the fact that some OF the counties had
not complied with the new law con-
corning the school census. 1t states
that it is the opinion Of the attorney
general that the state auperintendent's
office may hold up the state school
money II this census is not taken and
this may probably be the action Of
that Office next year in any district
where the law is not complied with.
In Dickinson county there are still a
number of districts that b I'VE not Re :

Dyer is forbidden to report them in
which case the appropriation Of the
state school fund to these districts
will be withheld. The fund amounts
to about 45 cents for each pupil.

A true japanese will announce the
death of his nearest and dearest rela-
tive with a smile. It is contrary to the
first principles of native etiquette to
obtrude their sorrows upon others.
Forty-eight hours after death the
corpse is washed with warm water, the
cold water being first placed in q tub
and boiling water added, and for this
reason the japanese dislike to pour hot
water into cold for ordinary purposes.
