The letter follows: "’“'Dear Mr- Griffin: “As a friend and as a public offi cial. you will have my cooperation in your new position as executive secre tary of the State School Commission”. “As you know, I was and am of the opinion that the office of execu tive secretary of the State School Commission should be occupied by one thoroughly trained in school ad ministration. This opinion is not in any sense directed at you personally. My opinions on public matteis aie never personal or based upon per sonalities. “I know you as a sincere, clean, honest and able man. Nor do I doubt for a moment the genuineness of your interest in the schools and in the chil dren of the state. “It therefore is my privilege as well as my duty to wish you every success in this responsible undeitak ing.

You know me well enough to know that my pledge ot cooperation is not empty gesture. It. means that you may count bn my aid at any time.” The position taken by Dr. Mc- Donald is the same taken by most of the school men of the state, who have maintained that the head of the school commi-ssion should be a train ed school man, rather than a layman. Many have also maintained that a majority of the members of the school commission should be trained school men, that is, superintendents, While the General Assmbly was in session, a strong effort was made by some of the school forces, with the backing of the lobby maintained Dy the North Carolina Education Asso ciation, to reorganize the school com mission and make the State superin tendent of public instruction its chair man instead of the lieutenant gover. nor, and also to give the chairman the power to name the executive secre tary. The school forces were so sure this plan was going through that It became known that a certain county superitnendent had been promised the job as secretary.

So it set up first the old board of equalization, which was later changed into the State School Com mission, to act as a sort of miniature Budget Bureau for the spending of school funds. For, contrary to tne prevailing impression, the school com. mission has .no authority over any thing except the spending ( ,f school money or matters connected with the spending, qf school funds.

SHEPARD — . ■ i ■— MASTERING BRIDGE (12) AN OPENING bid of two of a suit should show 9 safe playing tricks with a single biddable suit, 8 play ing tricks with two biddable suits and 7 playing tricks with three bid dable suits. The precise number of quick tricks held is unimportant. Die total number of tricky rhat the bidder should win in his own hand Is the \it a 1 point. While players state that an opening bid of two of a suit Insures game, that cannot be «trictly true Nearly every hand re quires some assistance to go game. In ease declarer’s partner has a few •op honors there may be a slam. Last Thursday evening 1 held the North hand in a duplicate game.

Play went as follows: North led the 4 of clubs. The “rule of eleven” showed declarer void of the suit Dummy’s 9 covered and the Q was ruffed. West led the Q of hearts and North won his first trick. He led his J of clubs. Again West ruffed. The J and Ace of hearts went on the next trick. Dummy ruffed. West ruffed a diamond. Dummy ruffed a heart and South overruffed with his Ace. winning the second defensive trick. The remain ing seven tricks belonged to West he having left 3 top trumps'and 4 established hearts. Declarer could ruff either a diamond or club return lead, pull trumps, then run off his hearts. In case a trump was led back the same result could be ac complished.
