BISHOP WILL SEEK
THE OFFICE AGAIN
Truant Officer, Who Recent
ly Resigned, to Ask Re
appointment.
BOARD MEETING TO-DAY
Matter of Placing New Law
in Effect Referred to
Committee.
BOARD MEETING TO-DAY

George Bishop, truant officer in
Wayne county, has reconsidered his
resignation recently handed to the
township trustees, and is a candidate
for re-appointment. This statement
was made by Superintendent Williams
at the meeting of the county board
of education this morning, at which
time the officials discussed the voca-
tional law, the truancy law and other
legislation recently enacted.
The board Is composed of presidents
of boards of education of the various
corporations in Wayne county with the
three members of the board, Superin-
tendent Williams being president.
The date set for the fall opening
of the school of Wayne county is Sep
tember s, 1913. This includes all the
schools in the county, and is the same
date set for the opening of the Rich
mond city schools. Two days vaca-
ton will be given at Thanksgiving and
two weeks at Christmas.
DR.. c. /. Stotelmeyer trustees of
Jefferson township, reported on the
settlement of the plans for the up
keep and improvement of school build
ings and grounds. Several suggestions
made probably will be put into effect
soon.
The vocational law provides for va
rious subjects to be taught in the
city. town and township schools which
are considered practical. These sub
jects are agriculture, domestic science
and manual training. The Jaw was dis
cussed today, and is considered one
of the bost beneficial laws ever en-
acted for the good of the schools. The
committee to which the law was re-
ferred will take up the matter of de-
Gliding on a system for placing the law
into effect in Wayne county and re-
port at the meeting next Monday. At
this time the board will select a tru-
ant officer.
1t is believed by the officials of JEFF
ferson and Jackson township that two
truant officers are needed in this coun-
ty. According to the recent laws en-
acted relative to truancy, it will be
optional whether or not two men are
retained in this county. II is believed
by some of the officials that one tru-
ant officer should be hired to have
charge of the work in Richmond, and
the other should do the corporation
work outside of this city as well as
the township school work There was
a varied opinion among several of the
trustees on this subject. One trustee
reported that in his township there
was but one case where truant Of
ficer was needed during the last four
years A similar condition is said to
exist in several townships. The mat
ter will be settled at the next regular
meeting Of the boaI
