willing to get down to hard work and
do lot of drudgery in this office, who
is progressive. We do not need man
who will look upon this Office as II sine
cure. and who will wear it as a crown
to his previous fifteen or twenty years
of teaching. 1t is argued by the
friends of one of the candidates that he
ought to have this Office because he has
been n candidate so often. Now accord
ing to this argument, ! am a candidate
for the Office of president of the U. s.

Finally some one asks what has this

dent? Nothing but announce himself.
Just so am candidate for the office Of
county superintendent for three success
sive terms. Finally some one asks
what has this fellow done to merit this
office? Nothing but announce myself,
according to the argument OF my
friends. AS Shakespeare says this Is
"too thin" There are II number of
other arguments brought out by the
friends OF the various candidates: but
they are all for the most part as shall
low as the above. For example one
says that a graduating class was never
established in his school until his ap-
pearance on the field. Now this is only
pleading that mans success as the
ground or reason why he should be
elected to the office of county superin-
tendent. But the same plea can be set
up in behalf OF every candidate, so then
the plea Of success must be eliminated,
or it must be made in behalf of all.
Every one of the candidates is gentle
man. Not a single word should be said
against any one Of them as men. They
are all good men, morally. But the
man who will give us the most energet-
ic, vigorous, and progressive admins
tration of this office, man who will
bring our schools to the highest state of
excellence, who will give the Office his
undivided attention. who will give the
examination of teachers the greatest
care, the visitation of the schools the
most time, and who will infuse new
blood, skilful organizing and executive
ability into our schools is Professor r..
B. Teitrick of Brockwayville. Elect
him and we can rest assured that our
public schools will be brought up to the
line by the side of those Of any other
