The county superintendent at his
option may hold examination on
eny or all OF the dates arranged for

at nom many placese in his county the
examinations will be held In the
past there has been considerable
variation in the different counties
In some, all the candidates are re-
quired to come to the county seat
or some other central point in the
county In others, examinations
are held in each district or at such
central points as will accommodate
the greatest number Of candidates
The size and topography Ct the diff
fcrent counties varies so greatly
throughout the state that it is well
nigh impossible to establish a uni
form rule for all the counties. How
ever, no pupil will be deprived Of
the privilege of taking the examina-
ton on account Of the distance of the
place of the examination.

FOR RECEIVER IN VIRGINIA.
Brunswick Bank Adjusters Hope To
Get More Money

John s. Newman and Willard F.
Shafer, receivers, are having much
difficulty in liquidating the affairs of
the Brunswick Savings Bank
The latest obstacle is that number
Il notes representing indebtedn SIS to
the bank are held by persons living in
Virginia, in which State many CT the
depositors also live. Several of the
eepositors have attached notes held in
their State, claiming that these assets
are outside of the jurisdiction Of the
receivers, and thy are in a position to
make themselves preferred creditors.
This claim, if allowed by the Court,
will lessen the amount of the dividend
TO the ether stockholders. To thwart
this move application has been made
to the Court for the appointment OF an
auxiliary receiver in Virginia. The
receivers have decided to pay the first
iastallment to depositors as soon as
sufficient funds have been collected to
pay p cents on the dollar.
