County School Notes.
BY supt. G. G. Elites.

We have been called upon u
make an unusual number of ap'
pointments of school officers this
month on account of removals
from the different districts. In
many instances, the outgoing Of
ficials have resigned to take up re-
sidence in western states.
.D There are seventeen telegraph
cables stretched across the Allan
tic Ocean, while there are but two
across the Pacific.
There were ten applicants for
First Grade certificates at the exa-
mination last week, and also one
applicant for a Provisional State.
We hope every one of these appli-
cants will be successful.
We notice that several schools
in the vicinity of Avon are prepa-
ring evening entertainments to be
given soon.
Statistics tell us that England
sends out goods every year to the
amount of fifty dollars per capita
while she receives into her couE-
try goods amounting to sixty dol
lars per capita.
Elsie Crow, of District No. 40,
has recently been awarded a forty
four month diploma, This means
that thus far during her school
life, she has forty-four months OF
perfect attendance.
The physical organism requires
recreation of some sort at stated
interval, but there is grave danger
that teachers may overdo the re-
creation idea. No teacher should
ever think of rehiring at night
without having added something to
he stock and store of knowledge.
English farmers lead and others
in the production of wheat per IL
ere. The German farmer is tw,
bushels short of being equal, while
the French farmer fails eleven
bushes below, and the Austrian
farmer comes next with twelve be-
low. The American farmer falls
eighteen bushels below the average
of his English neighbor, and the
Russian fails within twenty lone
bushels of coming up to the Eng
lishman If our figures are cor
rect for the average yield, and
Russia produces nine bushels per
acre, what will the others pro-
duce?
Cooperation is an essential in
all progress everywhere, and no.
where more so than in school mat
ters. This idea is being we'll work
ed out in Highlands Districts No.
SO. During the present year the
Board has purchased a twelve
inch hanging globe, which by the
way is the most satisfactory globe
to place in schoolroom; a good
water cooler; wire basket for
holding waste paper; good sup
ply of industrial material, includ.
ing raffia, bristol board, construc,
tion paper, and alphabet cards; q
new photograph; new shades anc
sash curtains. The room has beer
repapered and the woodwork
given a touch of fresh paint. Tel
new seats of the single type varie

to the health and comfort Of tn,
pupils, the windows have been e
quipped with storm sashes. Tt

TWO CITED TO SHOW CAUSE.
Courts Action on Petitions by
Wives for Maintenance.

Justice Gould of the District Supreme
Court today issued rule on Horace 3.
Fryer to show cause July 81 why he
should not be compelled to pay alimony
to his wife, Rose L. Fryer The courts
order is based on a petition for main
tenance filed by Mrs. Fryer, in which
she says that her husband has a salary
of $40 per week, but has not contribut-
ed to her support for nearly seven
years. She says they We're married June
s, 1889, and she alleges he deserted
her September Is. 1909. Mrs Fryer
admits that her husband supports the
child, who lives with her. She is repre-
scented by Attorney Crandal Mackey.
Justice Gould also cited Henry K.
Craig to show cause why he should not
pay temporary alimony to his wife,
Marie w. Craig. Mrs. Craig has filed
suit for limited divorce in which she
charges desertion and failure of ade-
quate support She tells the court of
her marriage at Baltimore. June 9, 1909,
and that she has one child. She asserts
that her husband deserted her in 1912
and has contributed but little to her
support, and has recently stopped max
ing these payments. Attorney Robert
E. Mattingly appears for the wife.

Mr.. GREGORY NOT IN RACE
FOR BENCH NOMINATION
Attorney General Eliminates Him
self From Consideration for the
q. S. Supreme Court.

Attorney General Gregory has elimi-
mated himself from nomination to the
Supreme Court bench to fill the va
cancy made by the retirement of
Charles E. Hughes by stating that his
connection with cases pending before
the court disqualifies him from sitting
on number of important cases if he
should be named to that bench, at the
same time expressing the opinion that
there is little likelihood that he will
be selected. The disqualification re-
ferred to, Mr.. Gregory stated, is one of
the reasons why Il think my appoint
ment would be bad one"
Since Mr.. Gregory no longer appears
to be at the head Of the presidential
list for this vacancy the name of SEN
ator Walsh of Montana has sprung to
the front. Mr.. Walsh is highly regard
ed as lawyer by the President, but it
is not believed he will name Mr.. Walsh.
the principal reason being that the
democrats may be pushed close for con-
troll of the Senate after the November
election and Senator Walsh has nearly
three years to serve. His retirement
from the Senate would make another
vacancy for the republicans to fight for.
