Cne Measure Of Economy.

One step which the superintendent
has already taken toward economizing
the system is in placing teachers He
points out that many times by combin-
ing two small classes and transferring
the teacher OF one Of them to some
class that needed a teacher, the ap-
pointment Of a new teacher might
often be made unnecessary. He said
the easiest way would be to appoint a
new teacher for every class that was
organized, no matter how small, but
that this would not be an economical
way.

Attorney Claude o. Owen of counsel
for Smith attacked the indictment yes
terday and moved that the charges
against Smith be dismissed and that the
jury be instructed to render a verdict Of
not guilt on the ground that the in
dictment was not in accord with the lat

ruling that the jury in a murder trial
may qualify it's verdict.

there is variance between that statute
and the law under which the Smith in
dictment is drawn. Justice Anderson
