The voters of Milwaukee county out
side of the cities of Milwaukee and
Wauwatosa will be called upon at the
coming election to vote for candidates
for the position of county superinten-
dent of schools. The legislature of
1903 enacted a law, placing the biennial
election of county superintendent at
the spring election in odd-numbered
years, thereby intending to remove
that office from the influence of parti-
san politics and to have the choice
based solely upon the merits of the
respective candidates. Il. ii. Everson,
principal of the graded school in dis
trict No. 5, town of Lake, has been
urged to become candidate for this
office and in his behalf we now ask
your earnest support.
The Importance of the superintend-
ency to the public school system of the
county can not be over-estimated. The
incumbent of the Office can exert a
great influence for betterment and inn
provements
The people have right to expect
from the county superintendent:
/. A well-directed administration of
the duties of the office;
2. A just, fair and unbiased conduct
of applications for teachers certificates;
3. Intelligent and helpful supervi-
sion of the schools of the county;
4. Ability and willingness to assist
boards of education in Misunderstanding
the affairs of their individual schools;
g. That he will so conduct himself
personally and officially as to retain
the respect and confidence of teachers,
and reflect credit upon the office.
Mr.. Everson is possessed of all these
qualifications. He has had experience,
both as teacher III the classroom and
as supervisor of the work of other
teachers. He is a graduate of the
Whitewater Normal school, attended
the State University, and for the past
five years has been principal of the
state graded school, No. 5, in the town
of Lake, conceded to be, under his adj
ministration, one of the best schools in
the county. He is 80 years of age, resi-
dent and taxpayer of that part of the
county from which the superintendent
is elected and from which are derived
the taxes by which his salary and other
expenses of maintaining the office are
paid.
