John H. Morton was the next commissioner of school funds; but before the expiration of his term of office, the office was abolished by law. The duties devolved upon the county judge, and so continued until the county court system was changed to the board of county supervisors, who have since managed the school funds, with the exception of those devoted to holding normal institutes, which matter is treated at length in its proper place.
