Mrs. Money Has Proved Herse'f
the Right Person for the Place
by Four Years of Faithful
and Efficient Service.

The following biographical sketch
was written by teacher In the Den

Some one said to "A young girl the

stand much about it, even now. She
answered, 80. its simple. Nuu Just

II the county superintendent Of
schools. You just put TIE night per
son in the place and the work Is done
NJ friction arises among .hc direct
brS and the patrons of the various
districts, problems of tax levy and
new school houses are solved. ell
cient teachers are found in the scho"I
rooms. wcll-traiued children become
helpful citizens. Everything seems
easy and natural and you hardly take
account OF the quiet force al the head
OF affairs which controls the ion.

1t is not often an editor gets what
lie asks for, or even what's coming To
him, but there is an exceptional case
in the state OF Illinois, The editor in
the following language invited his
readers to hand in items Of interest:
You will greatly aid in making the
-- newsy paper by sending
us accounts OF social affairs and when
darling baby comes to bless your
homes, send IL in" The appeal for
news brought results at once. When
the editor went to the cool OF his
sunctum one morning, lie found a pair
OF rosy.cheeked babies tucked in II
basket which rested on the step of the
newspaper Office. The editor is Ger
tainly TO be congratulated for his
ability to get news in the concrete. "
