ATTENDANCE OFFICER CHOSEN.
At a meeting held Friday the coun
ty board of education, acting under
the terms of the recently enacted com
pulsory education law, selected Mr.
Pierce Timmerman if Pleasant Lane
as attendance officer for Edr.efield
county. It will be his duty to see that
all children who should attend school
under the compulsory school attend
ance law attend at least four consec
utive months of the school term. The
board acted wisely and well in select
ing Mr. Timmerman. We believe he
will do his full duty without fear or
favor. The extent to which the com
pulsory school attendance law is ef
fective and accomplishes the purpose
in Edgefield county for which it was
enacted, depends largely upon the
manner in which Mr. TimmerPian dis
charges his duty. The trustees and
patrons should give him their full co
operation.
