TRUANT OFFICER

It may be possible that a county
truant officer will have to be APP
pointed by G. E. Plat, superintend-
ent-elect of county schools in Mer-
Ger county.
At least it will If the county
board of supervisors endorse the
law which was passed by the state
legislature at its last session.
This measure provides for a
compulsory attendance office to be
named in each county by the coun-
ty superintendent, the salary of this
official being fixed by the county
board.
Action is expected at the next
meeting of the supervisors follow
ing which Mr.. Plat probably will
make the appointment The new
superintendent is giving the matter
little thought until it is satisfac-
torily adjusted by the board.
That there will be a scarcity Of
teachers in the county schools this
year is the prediction of State Su-
perintendent Blair in a letter dis
cussing school legislation as passed
by the last general assembly sent
to county school heads throughout
the state. In this connection he
encourages all graduates of recog-
nized high schools to enter exam
nations for second grtde teachers
certificates.
