The idea that things should be
changed every time a chance
presents itself does find fertile
soil in the minds of the board of
education for the city schools.
It is well that the old teachers
and principals that would re-
main were elected for another
year, and the idea that they
should make better teachers
another year than last is a good
one.

WHILE we see in one paper
that the commencement ad-
dresses this year were up to the
former standard, another is
wondering if anything of special
benefit to the students has been
said in the sermons preached in
the many colleges during this
month.

THERE are six or more can
didates for the Office of governor
of this state and according to
their friends each one is the best
qualified man for the place.
North Carolina should feel proud
of the fact that she has so much
timber that make governors and
that so many of them are willing
to make the sacrifice.
