They arc Constituted Truan z \
for Counties.

The sheriff is going to have all that
ne and his deputies can do pretty soon.
Under the law as now i'm force since
the recent action of the legislature, the
sheriff and his deputies are constituted
truant officers. The county superin-
tendent of schools is directed bv the
law to report to the sheriff e'l the names
OF children of school age in the various
school districts of the county, who are
not attending schools. These names
are obtained in this manner: There is
an annual school census, showing the
names of all persons in the district of
school age, then there are the reports
of the various teachers made To the
superintendent soon after school opens,
with the names of the pupils enrolled.
The county superintendent then certifies
to the sheriff the names of the children
who. appear in the census but are not
on the lists as enrolled in some school.
The sheriff is authorized under the law
to proceed against the parents or guard
hans of all such children There are
hundreds of such cases in the county,
and it viii keep the officers busy for a
time when county superintendent turn
over to them the lists of such children,
from information now i'm his
hands. He will compare these lists
within short time, and turn them over
70 the sheriff, as he is directed to do by
the law Parents and guardians can
not give the excuse that they cannot
keep their children in school, as when
they give this excuse, that they have
no control over their children, such
are declared ineorrigible, and
committed to a state school. Parents
will therefore have the choice of keep
ing their children in school or having
them sent TO state institution There
are enough provisions to make the new
law an effective weapon in the hands Of
the county superintendent and sheriff
TO compel the school attendance of all
children of school age in the various
districts of the cnllnfv = EXCHANGE

this year, except the appropriations of
roads and bridges. Owning to the
tremendous damage suffered by the

mated that the state and county tax
will exceed that of last year by about
SIS, ,000 La addition to this the towns
have individually raised large amounts
for roads and bridges, which will make
taxes somewhat of a burden this year

In going through the proceedings, of
the board the CENSOR CLEANS a few
facts of general interest.
From the county treasurer's report
we obtain the following: Total amount
on hand $7903, ,62. OF this amount
