Two Opinions.
Attorney General Guhsen. ia an
opinion, holds that all warrants OF
orders Issued by independent school
districts must be countersigned by
the county auditor aud county super
iuiendents: and ia another opinion
that teachers employed by independ
ent school disiricis must bold licenses
from the county supei intendeut or
other competent authority, aud that
the officers Of the independent school
districts themselves have no 9u,hori-
ty to issue teachers certificates.
The opinions we're rendered IL re
Spouse TO verbal inquiries from Miss
Msy Scott, state superintendent Of
public instruction. The attorney
general says:
Replying 20 your query Ia re
gard TO the 6scsl affairs Of independ-
eBt school districts. and particularly
with reference to the question whether
warrants drawn by the officers Of snch
districts must be countersigned by
the county auditor. UoGlA respect
fully refer you 70 sections loso aud
1912 Of the political code.
1t Is evident from the history Of
these sections and the amendments
that have at various times been made
Ia the Law relating 70 ibis subject,
that IL Was the iuteution oi the leg
islature to require all wsTrsuts or
orders, for wba ever purpose issued

I would say that there lie nothipE
10 the lsW which authorizes Officers
Of independent districts TO disregard
the requirements Of the state vhict
requires all teachers within the state
to have a certificate signed by The
county school superintendent with
the exception Of tbose holding certi

session has called attention to the
laws sound protection Of this rare
and beautiful bird all the year
round. To appreciate the kingish-
er's beauty it is not necessary inn
plicitly to believe the old legend that
it was originally a plain gray bird,
but, upon being let loose from the
ark, few toward the setting sun,
and had its back stained blue by the
sky and its lower plumage scorched
by the sun to gorgeous hues. No
doubt the Dorking boy meant to
keep his kingfsher alive, and not to
kill it, and use its dried body as a
charm against thunderbolts OF
moths, or to hang the body up so
that it might point with its bill ta
the winds quarter. Old beliefs
found all these uses for the kingfsh-

his mother saw him through the

told him if she saw him there again
she would have to whip him. He

PLEDGE.

"Pledga" is the word hal DR.. Muir
ray is now engaged in tracking down
for the pupo.es of his monumental
dictionary -aot pledge in the
pa~wnbroker's sense or the teetotal-
ler's either, but in its old-time con-
vivial signifcation-"Let me pledge
you in a glass of wine" Quotations
of the word in this aense are to be
found in Shakespeare and other old
authors, and they 60 as far back as
1851. Most photographers are con-
tent TO accept the anti-poison or
MISREPRESENTATION theory or tradi-
tion-that the drinker is safe for the
time being-but DR.. Murray wants
something more conclusive than
this. He will not be satisfied until
he has historical evidence as to the
nature of the pledge and what the
drinkers pledged themselves to.

HEART THAT DID NOT BEAT.

A certain young lady who is now
grown up and very digniied, was
once a very little girl with a big
curiosity bump. She lived in the
pretty little town of Franklin. This
little girl loved to get into the
kitchen and sniff around for goodies.
One day when a chicken was being
prepared for dinner, she climbed on
a chair and as far into the sink as a
very mdulgent cook would allow.
She watched the proceedings very
intently until the chickens heart
was removed. She then reached out
her hand for it and said:
"Annie, what is that?"
'That is the heart" was the re-
ply. She examined it very carefully
for a minute, then handed it back
saying: 'Please, Annie, show me
where the beat is"
