pointment to the United States mill
tary academy at West Point and grad
uated at that institution, receiving his
commission in the artillery. At the
outbreak of the civil war General Lee
resigned his commission in the United
States army and entered the confed-
eracy. He served the confederate
army in Virginia until after the battle
OF Antietam, when he was made
brigadier general and sent to Vicks-
burg.
General Lee played prominent
part in the siege of vicksburg, and
following the fall of that city was
taken prisoner. He was later ex-
changed and promoted to the rank of
major general, and ordered to the
southwest. He was subsequently as
signed to the army of the Tennessee,

eral Lee devoted himself to the edu-

Lee was unanimously chosen COM

was established in the schools.
That was five years ago; and it has
been the proud boast of Mr.. Sam
pliner that in hardly any particular
could the most advanced schools of
the country excel us in a curriculum
of studies.
One of the most active men in be-
half of the restoration of the kin
dergarten has been Mr.. Sampliner,
and his qualification is very great,
indeed, at the action of the board of
directors. Indeed, it was this that
determined his candidacy, as he felt

the other members of the board, con-
vince them that they should do what
they have now done. Nevertheless,
the satisfaction and qualification is
none the less pleasant to Mr.. Sam

DR.. Day had already complied with
the legal requirements as to the
nomination at the urgent request of
many citizens, but he did not. fully
consent TO enter the race until today.
DR.. Days sentiment was so thor
oughly in favor of the kindergarten
that he did not feel willing to op-
pose the board in its position against
the continuance of the kindergarten;
but, owing to the changed position
of the school board on the kindergar-
ten question and the elimination of
a strong portability of serious dis
agreements in the board work which
might detract from the best inter
ests of the school, DR.. Day has con-
sented to allow his name TO come
before the people in candidacy for
school director.
DR.. Day has resided in Grand
Junction a number of years and is
well known. He has at all times
shown an interest in movements that
were for the upbuilding of the city
and the community. If chosen as
director on the school board he would
no doubt give the interests of the
schools conscientious and careful at
tention and would prove satisfac-
tory official.
