There was a time in the country's
history when military enumerators,
becked by bayonets, went out among
the people to take compulsory sery-
ice census. Today, under the principle
of universal liability to service, the ex-
ecution of the law is put into the
hands of the people.

army bill and the presidents proclama-
ton Hereunder have been coincident
All persons within the age limits pre-
scribed are required to present them
selves for registration at the customary
voting places in the voting precincts
in which they have their permanent

chief of registration therein. The ma
chinery of registration in each county
is in charge of the sheriff, the county
clerk, and the county physician, act
ing ex officiO, unless a different board
shall be announced by the governor. In
cities containing populations of more
than 10000, the registration will be
under the control of the mayor and Sc
lected boards of registration. In order
that the designated county and city
officials, and the people generally, can
get clear understanding of the cen
sus methods the following brief out
line is given:
The sheriffs, or other designated Off
Gals, Immediately upon receiving no
tice from the governor, shall appoint
registrars for each voting precinct.
Apportionment of Registrars.
The proportion of registrars shall be
one for each 10 persons to be regis
tered. Each age to be registered will
comprise about per cent of the popu-
lation.
If, for instance, all men between
nineteen and twenty-five years of age,
inclusive are to be registered, the reg

per cent of the precinct population.
