The Lancaster county commissioners face criticism for shirking the compulsory education duties. The loophole hinges on whether the Farr act specifies payment of assessors by warrants signed by the commissioners and concerns the per diem pay for enumerating children aged eight to thirteen in districts. The provision requires assessors to compile and certify lists for school principals, with compensation for up to ten days.
