Commissioner

General,

In verifying the rental accounts, sent in by the secretaries of the various charitable associations, in compliance with Circular No. 3, C.S. War Dept, Bureau &c, I have understood the words "average number of pupils" to mean the average daily attendance, as given in the monthly reports of the teachers, and that the $10.00/100 per month rental is to be paid only on those schools, and for those months, in which said average attendance was at least 30.

I would respectfully inquire whether my ruling is correct.

I am General
Very respectfully
Your obt. Servant
