prominent positions in many Of our
colleges and other higher institutions


OF learning. Twice in this state
once on the democratic and once
on the republican ticket-have ladies
filled Che 41Mon OF state superin

-
Tabove lines are written to call
attellBion to the fact that it has long
been the policy OF this and other states
Of the Union to recognize the claims
OF women to y leading part in
the education Of our children. And
the article In pertinent at this time
for the reason that lady teacher OF
this county is before the republican
voters at the primary as "A candidate
for position in the republican col
umn Of the regular ticket at the No
vember election. She is lady we'll
worthy of election u the position.
She is one OF the very few persons in
the county who poSSeSs the Qualiti.
cations required OF a candidate by the
rigid educational law OF 1907 She Is
now teaching in the Hazelton graded
school. She is highly regarded by
every one who knows her, and, ii elect
ed, She will without doubt prove de.
voted and enthusiastic county superin-
tendent. We refer to Miss Jessie Il.
Sandidge.
Once in IL while We hear il said that
IA woman couldn't attend to the
duties of county superintendent in the
winter. Our reply is that 1T the
present time, in ten OF the thirty
nine counties of this state. women are
at the head of the county school
system. These counties are as follows:
Billings-Lydia NJ. Richards.
Cass-Mattie NJ. Davis.
Dickey-Mrs. G. NJ. Lowell.
Eddy-Grace b. Putnam.
Foster-Zerlina S. Eakin.
Griggs-Clara Feiring.
Kidder-Orra Hurd.
Oliver-Iva o. Jenness.
Pierce-Anna NJ. Peterson.
Wells-J0sie NJ. Paulson.
And it is well.known fact that a
low stage OF mercury in the weather.
measure has few terrors for the ladies
of the Missouri Slope when trip for
business or pleasure is found neces-
sary.
Take notice, reader, that in Cas-.
the leading county in the state in the
matter of education, . lady is superin-
tendent. Mrs. Davis has filled the
position term after term, and size is
coming before the primary without
opposition on the republican ticket.
We cannot remember the time
when. in the neighboring county of
kidder, a lady has not been county
superintendent The present incum-
bent, Miss Ora Hurd, and Miss Mamie
Portner, whom she succeeded, are
ladies' who have made fine regulations
for energy and ability in the superin-
tendent's ONCE
~
| The candidate opposed to Miss San
didge for the republican nomination
at the primary election is Prof. L. f.
Osgood, at present principal OF the
Linton public schools. but who has
failed to give general satisfaction to
the patrons of the school, and who
will be succeeded next term by Prof.
Williams, OF South Dakota. Mr..
Ogood has resided i'm Emmons county
about nine months. He has no per.
manent interests here nothing what.
ever to keep him here unless the vot-
erS Of this county should see lit to give
him AN office. And he has not been
in the county long enough tu be eli
gible as a candidate, were it not that
he came here from another part of
the state.
Miss Sandidge has resided here sew
eral years. Her parents and other
relatives are bona fidc settlers here,
living on their claim a few miles from
Linton.
We d" not believe that the republic
can voters OF Emmons county will, un-
der the circumstances. prefer. at the
primary TN the 18th OF next June, the
claims of Mr.. Osgrod to the claims OF
Miss Sandidge for the honorable and
important position OF county superin-
tendent Of schools.
