FAIRFAX VOTE REGISTRARS
ARE CALLED INTO SESSION
Ballot Books to Be Purged After
Lacking Revision for Many
Years.

FAIRFAX. Va. August IA (SpeciaD
Benjamin r. hewitt, clerk Of the Fair
fax County electoral board, has asked
the registrars of the IS voting precincts
in Fairfax County to assemble at the
Court House, August a.. at 10 am, to
receive instructions in the purging OF
the registration books. While under
the law, the electoral board is required
to purge the books at definite pc
RODS, it has not been done in this
county since the new State constitu-
ton went into effect in 1902. All OF
the books are in bad shape, with names
carried of voters who died or moved
away many years ago.
This was revealed forcibly in the cam
paign last November, when for the first
time in years, there was Suf1cient in
terest or contest in the November cleo
tions to warrant any general canvass Of
the voting lists, or any contested regis
trations. New books are to be issued for
each precinct. A movement also is on
foot to present to the next State Legs
lature a bill for a general reregistration
throughout the State.

The "cost-per- child" analysis follows:
For 6,776 children in average enroll
ment In the white elementary schools
the operating cost was 1860.
For 1909 in the white high schools
the cost was $91.0l.
For 2,602 In the colored elementary
schools the cost was $23.70.
For 1873 In the colored high schools
the cost was $3.50.
The total average for the county per
child was $47.l1, as against $48.14.
The decrease is probably caused by an
increased enrolment. for the number Of
teachers. according to Supt. Orem.
Although the financial report is not
due at the State Department of Edu-
cation until September 1, the county
was able, through concerted effort of
its ONCE force, to compile the report
