ENUMERATION OF SCHOOL CHILDREN

Let Parent*, Guardian* and Enumerators Carefully Reitd t»»e Following Instruction* So That -rnmick C»untf May Secure a Hull and Complete Enumeration.

The last. General Assembly passed an act providing for a more careful enumeration of the school children of the State, by requiring it to be taken in a specific way and providing means to carry it in'o effect For many years it has been charared, and in many instances proven, iat in the large cities of the State, the enumeration has brfen padded and thus raised to the detriment and injury of the rural districts, s-naller towns and cities. The new law provides that the enumerator shall, if possible, see the head of each family, having children of school age, or at least one of the parents, shall take the name, age, and sex of each chl and have the parent sign the statement. In cities 'he enumerator must take, in addition to the above, the street and number.

There is an erroneous idea held by some parents that the more children they enumerate for school purposes, the greater will be their taxes for those purposes, when in fact just the reverse is true. The enumeration is taken solely for the purpose of distributing the State school revenues to the various school corporations of the State, with regard to tiie number of children to be taught in each therefore the greater the number of children enumerated the greater the amount of mouey any corporation or township will receive, and thereby lessen the auiouut of taxes to be raised by local levy.

On behalf of the school (fflcars of the county I ask every patron for your own benefit to as4sr. us in getting a full aud omplete enumeration of all unmarried persons between the ages of six and twenty-one ears, in the couLty. There are often persons under the age of twenty-one who have quit school and frequently parents neglect to enumerate them, thus robbing the township or corporation of the inojey which would be distributed, and increasing the local taxation to that extent.

TRANSFERS.

The Supreme Court of Indiata has recently decided that tiansfers are for one year only, and if not attended to ana renewed each year, the school privileges will lie in the corporation in which the parents reside. It would be well for all persons who have been transfered and have been sending to other townships or corporations than those in which they reside, if they wish to continue to do so, to see the Trustee of the township, and be transfered at once, or as soon after April 10th as possible

TO ENUMERATORS.

1 would urge upon enumerators the necessity of a thorough acquaintance with the law governing your work. It is short and can be mastered in a very little time. The Trustee will furnish you with a copy. I would also urge upon you the necessity of seeing the bead of each family or one of the parents at least, when it is possible. I would also suggest that you paste a copy of the following questions in the back of your field book, and that in taking the enumeration you refer to them, so that no one entitled to enumeration may be omitted.

QUESTIONS.

1. Have you any children between the ages of six (6) and twenty-one (31) years? 2 If you have give me the name, age i.nd sex of each, beginning with the oldest. 3. Do you have any children who have quit school or who are away attending school, or away from home for any other purposes, under the age of twenty one (21) and over six (6), not included in the above? If so give name, age and sex. 4. Are there any persons of school age living in your family, not included in the above!

5. If so, have they been or are they likely to be enumerated anywhere? 6. If not enumerated elsewhere, give me the name, age and sex of each. 7. Do you know of any child that has recently passed the age of six (6) and where there are no other children of school age? If so please direct me to the parents.

NOTES:—No married person of any age is entitled to be enumerated. By a strict obseryance of the above suggestions I think we shall b8 able to secure a complete and full enumeration.

A Change of Firms at Mohawk. Wilford Dobbins, formerly of this county, but who for a number of years has been living at Sabin, Minn., has returned and bought the general store of Adam F. Wilson at,,Mohawk. Mr. Dobbins is quite a clever gentleman and in addition to carrying a general line of dry goods, groceries, boots, shoes, etc., will carry a line of shelf hardware and farming implements. He brought with him a large stock of fine seed potatoes of his own raising in the Red River Valley. Mr. Dobbins desires to meet and renew his acquaintance with all his old friends.

Mr. A. F. Wilson has removed to the farm of the late Samuel Barnard which he purchrsed. U. S. Wilson will continue to reside in Mohawk and look after his business interests there.
