". personal interest In one OF the can.
dldates for state Superintendent Of
Free Schools that 1t must say few
words for Mr.. ". c. Tough. secretary
OF the Board OF Regents of the State
Normal Schools. who was here last
week In attendance at the meeting OF
the board. Hardly another man in
the State can lay claim to so many
points in his favor as peculiarly fit
ting him for the position. He has
been engaged in every phrase Of
school work from pupil and teacher
in the district school to principal Of
a State Normal. Being an editor, he
has strong political backing. and his
wide acquaintance In the state Is Of
the sort that counts.
Being very genial. progressive
and practical his candidacy will con-
tInue to grow in favor and unless all
signs fail he will have many. of the
leading educators and some strong pol
iticlans ready to go to the last ditch
in the fight for his nomination.
Mr.. Lough has crowded more into
the twenty years since he began
teaching than many men accomplish in
life time. He taught four years in
the country. was a county superlntend-
emit. attended four years at the SEM
mary at Buckhannon. two years at the
State University. taking the degrees
of A. B. and A. NJ, taught six years at
the Fairmont State Normal and for
three years has been editor of the Fair.
mont West virginian. In all these
capacities. he has made friends AMI
they want to see him put In position
to direct the school forces of the
State. In conversation with an Adver-
tiser man, Mr.. Tough said he did not
expect to announce himself as can
didate at the presnt, but If the school
people and other people of the State
wanted him to be State superintend-
ent, he would be glad to have the Of
fee. He said his heart was in tho
school work and that he would esteem
It a high honor. one worthy of any
young mans ambition, to serve his
State as superintendent Of It's free
schools. Mr.. Tough will undoubtedly
have strong following for the nomi.
nation in all parts of the State.

Huntington Herald.

It's a sort of truism that a man
who would teach others must first be
equipped with experience and complete
of his task. In other
words he must have his idea so clear
~ formulated in his own mind that
he can present 1t to others iii crys-
taIlized form. The man VINO is t. be
an educator must be educated in all
the term implies. He must be broad
and strong and kindly. He must be
effective. He must have personality.
All these requirements ut, too, the
man who will be elected as State su.
perlntendent OF Schools next fall.
There have been many names men
toned in this connection but in review

The election of Hon, Myron C.
Tough, of Falrmont, to the office of
State Superintendent of schools would
be due recognition of man of sterl-
ing worth, high education and fearless
honesty. We seldom have an oppor-
tunity OF putting such a capable man
in Office. Besides his fitness for
school work in all of its phases. there
is not in West Virginia man better
equipped for the duties Of a member
OF the Board of Public Works than is
MIR. Tough. His boom is timely one.

"The Telegram heartily agrees
with the Post in all It says about Mt.

right and advance the work and dig

and the cake ought to be passed
around to some other county. But,
II no other county wants It we favor
Lough's nomination by reclamation.
He is SO ably fitted for the place and
so useful to the party that we are
not quite sure of that we do not favor
the elimination of all the other coun.
ties any way for Tough OF Marion for
State superintendent.

The exuberant spirit In which The
Posts suggestion of NJ. c. Lough, edi.
tor of the Fairmont West virginian,
for State superintendent Of public
schools has been received by the pa
pers would seem to promise enough
buoyancy to support a good-sized
boom. The Posts suggestion has ey-
erywhere been recognized as in ac-
cordance with the general fitness OF
things.
If an experienced political obser-
yer like John Wallace were to so
over the State with a fne-toothed
garden rake. it would be hard for him
to find man better qualified for the
important work Of the ONCE. Mr..
Tough has had a look at our school
problems from many points Of view.
He has been a country school boy, a
county school teacher, a county su.
perlntendent. a university student, q
normal school Instructor, principal
and regent. In all of these positions
he has shown himself tireless, en-.
thuslastic, aggressive worker, always
accessible to ideas progressive but
reasonably Immune to the attacks OF
faddishness which SO often play havoc
with the brightest of our school men.
The State has need Of Just such a
man to carry on the good work in.
