On that ing will then receive a certificate of beginning of his troubles, lie will, so day every span. every woman and every child of and over the age of six- teen years, throughout the Dominion of Canada, will have to register. To this absolute rule there are a few ex- ceptions with which the generality of us have no personal concern. These exceptions comprise cloistered nuns; persons on active service belonging to the military or naval forces; insane persons and prisoners. Thereis a registrar for each dis- trict, and each district is divided in- to registration divisions correspond- ing, so far as may be, with the poll- ing divisions in use at the last Do- minion election. The registrar of each district has the services of a deputy registrar and ane or more assistant deputy regis- trars is appointed for each registra- tion division in. the quotient of one for every 420 of the population: Each of these deputy regstrars is to be competent and literate and one who writes legibly and neatly. As. not far short of 70,000 of such per- sons will be required for the 'whole Dominion. HOURS OF REGISTRATION Tine hours of registration will be between 7 a.m. and 10 p.na,' an the 22nd instant, between which : hours, every person, male or female,- not ex- cepted on the grounds mentioned a- bove, will have to regi tter at one or other of the places appointed for re- gistration. _.
