ent of Schools.
Since the qualifications of the many
candidates for the office of Superintend-
ent of Schools, who have come out
since Mrs. Anderson first announced
her candidacy, have been the subject
of much comment, it might not be out
of place to re-state some of the facts
with regard to Mrs. Anderson's equip
ment.
AS girl she was student for three
years at the Western College for wom-
on at Oxford, Ohio, both in college and
in the musical department, and gradu-
ating in the musical course from there.
She taught for one year in the rural
schools of Fremont county, Iowa, be-
fore her marriage.
Fourteen years ago, Major Anderson
and his family came to Hot Springs
and eight years ago this fall Major
Anderson died. Mrs. Anderson at once
applied for and secured a position in
the schools of this place, and has been
in active work ever since.
She is an enthusiastic teacher, al
ways advancing in her work and has
never missed summer in studying in
the Black Hills Institute, the summer
school of both Des Moines and Lin coin,
or attending the county institute. Eff
cheney, up-to date methods. and length
of service should count for much when
there is an office at the disposal of the
people which involves the standard and
welfare of the rural schools. \ woman
of such strong personality .and higt
ideals cannot fail to raise the STANDARD
of excellence of the schools of thi:
county.

The Politician.

Will Chamberlain in.the Vermillion
Republican: People have mingled
feeling of confidence and,dread for the
politician. With the great politicians
those of state wide or national reputa-
tion, the average citizen does not come
much in contact. They are far away
vocies rather than entities. Influences
more than personalities, to the com
mon throng. The army of politicians
is judged, therefore, mainly by the
small nubbini of the breed-the man
who seldom aspires beyond the coun-
ty pie counter. While generally from
our very best families, county politi-
clans think of self first and country
afterward. This need not imply that
they will be unfaithful to their trust
if they are granted, but that they are
not cast in mould of high attainment.

Edinburah,s Old Musician.

George Croal, who celebrated his
95th birthday recently, is Edinburgh's s
oldest musician and enjoys the dis
tinction of having conversed with Sir
Walter Scott. He is, indeed, probably
the only survivor of those who heard
him avow his authorship of the WAY
erly" novels. The occasion was a
theatrical fund dinner, and Mr.. Croal
recalls the suppressed eagerness of
the historic announcement. OF all the
singers he has heard in his long life
he most admires Catalini, who died
in 1S49. In recent times, he says,
only Patti at her best has rivaled
her.
