Prof. r. A. Armstrong for state super

Prot. r. A. Armstrong as being a
man eminently fitted for the office
of State Superintendent of Free
Schools:
"This is no position for tyro.
This is no time for experiment. We
need scholar deeply learned, thor
oughly disciplined and practical,
tried and capable, at the head OF

strong is such man. His past is
prophetic of his future. The exam
pie of his life is inspiring to the
young and his character wins conf
dence from all.

the responsibilities of the Office could
not be placed upon man more cap
able of fulfilling them
