B. Griffin, Coun ty superintendent of education, in an interview Wednesday. Mr. Grif fin added that some schools would close earlier than others in that week because certain holidays had been, or would be, taken by certain schools while others would not take the holidays. If bad weather happens to make the roads impassable this date will be moved up and the schools will have to delay their closing dates. Snow or rain can do much to coun ty roads in a few days and there have been instances where schools had to remain closed for a week or more. So far no schools have closed on account of bad roads. The city and county schools have all had successful school years dur ing the year that is now being brought to a close. School officials believe that a majority of the teach ers will come back next year and they hope that all principals will be favorable to re-election.
