There was a time in the country's
history when military enumerators,
becked by bayonets, went cut among
the people TO take a compulsory serv-
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.
The approval Of the new national
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
homes, on day which the president
will announce
The governor of each state is the
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 a clear understanding of the CEN
sus methods the following brief out
line is given:
-. i
cials, Immediately upon receiving no.
tire from the governor. shall appoint
registrars for each voting precinct.

lation.
If, for instance, all men between
nineteen and twenty-five years Of age,
inclusive. are to be registered. the reg
istrar would have to enroll about
per cent of the precinct population.
1t is desirable to accept the services
of competent volunteer registrars to
serve without compensation. All reg
istrars must be sworn.
The voting place in each precinct
must be prepared for registration. Full
printed instructions covering every de-
tail of registration viii be in the hands
of sheriffs and mayors on the fifth day
