ANNIE M. CLISBY, Secretary. 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.
