American. A lady who. because Of
her surroundings and mate ability,
has accomplished tI,oSe things that
are necessary for the training for the
needs Of the youthful mind and at the
same time one who, because of her
years Of experience. is able to mar
shal the teachers Of Fremont county
into uniform body for the develop
ment Of those who are In our city
schools.
With all Of Che above she will
bring to that office a refin ement and
q charm that will make the school
work pleasure instead Of an irksome
task as 1t is often considered by those
in school Miss Curran is typical
Coloradoan she WAS born In Denver
and educated during her earlier years
in the public schools of that city.
There she learned met hods and plans
that are acknowledged to be the equal
of any city in the country.
The methods of the country town
we all know are not as effective as
are those of the city for the reason
that country towns can not and do not
pay the prices that secure the best
talent Miss Carran being trained
in Denver has had every advantage
in acquiring methods that will Re
used in our schools should she be
elected.
After leaving the city high school
she entered the state normal; finish
cago university. rounding out teach
ers' course.
From that time, for IA years she
t,ugbt in Ell Paso and Fremont coun
es. The last two years have been
spent in Florence, where every one
knows her ability and and the pro-
gress that the children have made
under her instruction. Her extern
sive experience in rural districts fitly
qualities her for a know ledge Of the
needs Of our country schools. many of
which undoubtedly should be brought
up to a higher standard. She is

ed herself as we'll as her sisters.
While she is not unduly aggressive.
yet she holds consistent aud decided
views on all questions that affect the
public schools. She possesses courage
Of her convictions and is possessed of
u character of quiet determination and
conscientious carrying out of that
which she believes to be right. She
believes that the office of county su-
lperintendent is of such Importance to
all the people. that absolutely no 9TH
or consideration except that of person
al and educational quail fications for
the office ought to be entertained by
any voter. And Miss Currap dos
not ask for the support of the voters
of this county for any reason other
than her fitness for the uftice.
Duties of an Office in the service of
the people require tact and Judgment
~ we'll as technical knowledge aud
this Miss Curran possesses in Il g
greatest degree. We believe that
when the public can reward by ad.

whose ambition has ever been in the
direction of progress, who has car.
lied up the ladder by ability and
strength others who have been
battered, they ought to sanction aud
endorse by their approval at the
polls one who is capable and who
is willing to do that which is for
tile best interests OF our own chill.
dern. Such an endorsement is "A
constant incentive for our own little
ones to acquire an education and to
prepare themselves for the reward
which they have seen given to 9th.
