him into political wrangles to the
detriment of schools; the time neces-
sarily consumed in campaign for re-
election is lost to the schools; the ex-
pense of the campaign cuts down the
remuneration to a point where a capa-
ble man will not enter into a cam-
paign; the desirable qualifications for
the office do rot carry with them
vote-getting ability, resulting gener-
ally in the election of the less desir-
able man; a good superintendent must
be lost to a county generally after
two terms of service; choice of super-
intendents is limited only to those
who offer t0 make the campaign; and
there are a number of other reasons
suggested.
The proposed law would permit the
county superintendent to be employed
like the city superintendent is em-
ployed, for ability, efficiency and oth-
er qualifications, and the county board
is not limited to the county in its se-
Jetcion, but may go anywhere in the
state.

FOLLOWS HER TO REMAIN UHILD
A A D RECONCILIATION IS
EFFECTED.
By Associated Press
Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 12.—When
Fred Robinson, a Roth, Okla., farmer,
came to Fort Worth Sunday and found
his wife in a home on Fifth avenue,
and Walter Brown, with whom she
had eloped, in jail on a charge of
burglary, he not only forgave ids wife
and arranged to take her back to Ok-
lahoma. but also went to the county
jail, talked to Brown, and after ex-
pressing sympathy with him, gave
him some loose change.
Brown and Mrs. Robinson left Ok-
lahoma City together last fall, while
Robinson was away from home. They
took Mrs. Robinson’s baby with them.
When Robinson learned of the elope-
ment, he sold his property and started
out to search for her. Recently he
learned Brown was in Fort Worth and
Sunday morning he came here. With
the aid of Sheriff Rea, he located
Brown in the county jail and his wife
at the home of Mrs. J. A. Williams,
1S15 Fifth avenue, where she was em-
ployed.
When he saw his wife, Robinson
clasped her in his arms, though he
had dec lared he was looking only for
the child and never expotced to have
anything to do with Mrs. Robinson
again.
*1 know that this is the only wrong
step she has ever taken,” he said. "We
will go to some place where we ar»-
not known, and start life anew.”
Before the two left Fort Worth,
Robinson went to the county jail and
asked to see Brown.
"I just want to see what he looks
like. 1 have no desire to harm him
now,” he explained.
■ Brown came to the front of his cell
and told Robinson he was sorry for
what he had done. Learning that the
man had no friends in Fort Worth,
and was penniless, Robinson said he
would not make it any harder for
him, and taking several coins from
his pocket, handed them to the pris-
oner.
The Robinsons left for Oklahoma
Sunday night. Brown will stay in Jail
until his case Is Investigated by the
grand Jury. He Is accused of enter-
ing a residence in Riverside.
