Date Child Becomes
Six Years Old
For several years the North Caro
na School law has decreed that a
hild must be six yfears old on or be
jre October 1 before he can be en
jlled in the public schools. The last
ession of the General Assembly
ranged that law and gave the State
Oard of Education the power to set
date other than October 1 if the
' Oard thought advisable.
Last Thursday the State Board of
Iducation met and changed the date
pom October 1 to October 15. The
attorney General has ruled that any
laid bom on October 16 will be six
| ears of age on October 15.
I f This fall any child will be enrolled

ills on October or prior to that date. |
Children whose birth date comes be

; ot attend pre-school clinic. Superin
gfepdent John A. Holmes states that it
•pll be necessary for every child to
resent an immunization certificate
efore he or she can be enrolled in
' he Edenton city schools. The State
3W requires every child to have im
munization from whooping cough,
iphtheria and smallpox. The super
ntendent urges parents who expect
o enroll their children in the first
rade in September to see their family
hysician or go to the Health Depart
i lent in the Bank of Edenton. This
lust be done before the child can be
nrolled in school.
