November thirteenth is being
looked forward to with much in
terest on account of the fact that
the county superintendent will be
able to meet all of the teachers In
the county on that day.
Remember that it is not alwa!
the best teacher who gives uni.
formly high grades to her pupils.
When we. find a set OF reports
where the grades are all above
ninety per cent, we develop q
strong suspicion that something is
wrong with said teacher.
There are still quite a few
teachers in the county, that have
not sent in their certificates foI
registration. For the most part,
the offenders are residents of the
county Please bear in mind thai
every certificate must be reg ster'
ed with the county superintendent
each year. .,..

They were perfectly satisfied, they
said, TO have Thaw remain In the

be denied.
Thaw's attorneys had agreed at a
