The little city is complete in every
detail, is approximately fifteen feet

Bethlehem, situated on a hillside,
the model has the characters, points
of interest and the other significant
features of the city a mentioned in
the Bible. The setting Is Christmas
and the birth of Christ. The man.

OF education for t,le coming session is
practically" certain. The board discuss
ed question at considerable length at
its meeting here Monday but took no
formal action.
No truant officer was employed last
year for the reason that many of the
schools were crowded beyond capaci-
ty. However, with the additions that
have already been made in some sec
lions and will be made in others, the
board feels not ony that an officer
should be employed, but they are not
disposed to disregard the plain man.

an officer be elected There has been
some question raised as to the expendi.
ture on th69funds necessary for tru-

and it is the best sentiment of the
county that the compulsory school law
be enforced.
1t has come to the knowledge of
the board that because of not having
an attendance officer last session
there were a number of children out
of school who should have been in
school. This is a condition that they
are not going to permit to exist again.

CENSUS MAKES
NO CHANGES IN
ELECTION LAWS
REGISTRATION APPLIES TO ONLY
THREE DISTRICTS, SAYS AT
ToRNEY GENERAL. g.l4r6}
Mooted Question Since Change h'Enu'
neration Is Set at Rest by An Cpln-
lon From Attorney General Frank
M. Thompson.
CFrom Tuesdays Daily Herald)

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)
Notwithstanding the decided change
made in the population Of Maury coun-
ty by the federal census of last year,
the registration law of 1917, applying
registration to only three districts OF
the county. is still in full force and eff
feet and this law simply applies to the
three districts described in the act OF
1917. This is the substance OF an
opinion rendered to County Attorney
Pride Tomlinson by Hon. Frank M.
Thompson, attorney general of the
state.
1t will be recalled that by special
legislation passed when the county
Was redistricted the Dortch and regis.
tratio1 laWs we're made to apply to the
entire county regardless OF the limi.
tations IMPOSED upon the application
of these statutes when originally pass
ed But In 1917 the act was so amend
ed that only registration was required
in the third, seventh and ninth dis
tricts. The act repeating registration
except as to the three districts emu
merated was based on the population
Of the county by the census of 1910
and provided that the last reported
federal census should control, AS is
we'll known Maury cOuntys population
by the last census was some 5,00t
less than that by the census Of 1910
Therefore the inquiry of the attorney
general was made necessary.
AS TO whether or not the registra
ton will apply in the three districts
as q qualification to the voting in the
coming primary, is of course another
question and one that will have to be
decided by the county democratic
executive committee. 1t is believed
| that d meeting Of that committee vii
| be Held at an early date to reach de
clsion on this important question. i
is claimed, however, that under thu
primary act of 1901 registration viii
have to be required in the three dis
tricts
