tinuous study inasmuch as they
never know when they will be
put on the shelf. tits true that the
teachers must take examinations
and make certain grades. but we
find a teacher in one part Of the
county one year and in different
part the next. Certainly they
could give better service if allow
ed to remain with one school for
several years instead of being
shifted around. The present
county superintendent is ambitious
and will do everything in his pow
err to better the school conditions
Of the county, and perhaps he

In other counties announce
ments are being made for the
county offices. A primary will
most likely be held in Cooke coun-
ty and it will be an important one,
for a primary nomination has al
ways been considered equivalent
to an election in this county, with
one or two exceptions. The office of
sheriff, trustee, county court clerk,
circuit court clerk and registrar
must be filled. 1t has been said
and is generally admitted that with
one or two exceptions the court
house has a set of officials which
are a credit to the county. Partic-
ular Importance is attachedto the
offices of trustee and county court
clerk. John Holt will again be a
candidate for county court clerk
and it is probable that he will not
have opposition as he has made
an exceptionally good official and
is deserving Of reelection. Harri-
son Sexton, the trustee, has had the
office but four years and he, too,
has made splendid reputation
and his books are in such shape
that information concerning the
county's finances is easily obtain
able. Whether or not he will
have opposition has not been de-
termined, and if he should have
an opponent, Mr.. Sections friends
state that he has made such an
enviable reputation that he will
not have any fear of a contest.
