The town or city director may himself be responsible for both or either of these departments or designate others to take up the various dutieo. Kach town or city director should tnake daily reports to the county director of the number of boys enrolled, and the number placed and the number for which applications have been received so that the county director can place the surp'.us in one community at work in other communities in the county where the supply does not equal the demand. The county director should make daily reports to the state director so that the surplus in one county can be sent to some other county where the demand exceeds the supply. In each locality the fact that boys can be emrlojed should be given all publicity possible so that the farmers will employ the boys. County directors should understand fir t there should always be a definite agreement, between the boy and the farmer a: to hours of work and wages. Boys may be placed in canneries when deemed advisable and m such cases competent boy leaders to look after their mof-al and physical welfare should be detailed to oversee units of twenty-five or more. All of the enrollment cards for a county or adopted division of territory should be filed with and retained by the county director, except in cities of 15.000 population or over where they are fled in the office of the city director. The town municipal director should keep a record of the same, address, age, parents' name, nature of occupation, and any other fact3 essential in connection with the enrollment.
