WOMEN MAY SERVE
ON COUNTY JURIES
On November 8 Judge Hassler and
Jury Commissioners Good and Jef-
fries will begin the selection of
jurors for next year from the names
of 1,100 persons to be included in
the drawing. It is admitted by the
officials that women are eligible for
jury duty, but how many names will
be placed in the wheel is an un-
answered question as yet.
One of the three is of the opinion
that the names of no women should
be placed in the wheel unless there is
positive assurance that they will
serve the week for which they are
drawn.
There will be some women’s names
go into the jury wheel, but the con-
sensus of opinion is that they will be
few in number, for women, as a rule,
will not want to serve with the
probability of being locked up with
nearly all men for hours,

SUPERINTENDENT FLEISCH
NOTIFIES TEACHERS
NEW LAWS GOVERNING
ENROLLMENT OF
CHILDREN
County Superintendent Fleischer
sent out notices to teachers, calling
their attention to new regulations of
the State Superintendent of Publie
Instruction, concerning the enroll-
ment of children.
Under the new rules attendance
averages will show a decline, the
method of computation being differ-
ent. If a child belongs in school the
beginning of a month and does not
appear for enrollment until the mid-
dle, the attendance average must be
computed from the first day when he
or she belonged there. For instance,
if a child should appear on the 15th
and would be present every day until
the end of the month its average
would not be 100 per cent. as hereto-
fore figured, but only 50 per cent.
The instructions sent out follow:
“In order to standardize and make
uniform the method of recording at-
tendance data in the schools of the
State, it is required that the follow-
ing regulations be observed:
“The teacher’s roll of pupils be- /
longing to her school shall contain /
the names of all children assigned to’
her school from the enumeration list
at the opening of the school by the
board of education, and such addi-
tions as may be made thereto during
the term, and no child’s name shall be
removed from the roll as belonging to
the school unless, upon investigation
by the local attendance bureau or the
proper school official, it shall be
found that the child.
1. Is deceased.
2. Has removed from the district.
3. Is enrolled in another school.
4. Is legally employed, upon a
general employment certificate.
5. Is 16 years of age or over and
as withdrawn from school.
6. Has been certified by the medi-
cal inspector as permanently in-
capaciated and not a fit subject for
education and training.
