For County Superintendent.


of Mrs. Carrie E. Money. Republiean
candidate for county superintendent.
was written by a former teacher in
the Denver schools who has spent the
past year in Otero county:
Someone said to a young girl the
other day: Electricity Is great
thing. isn't il? But don't understand
much about il even now" She an
swered: 20. it's very simple. You
just turn the switch and the light
comes on" As simple as that are
the duties of the county superintend-
cnt Of schools. You just put the right
person in the place and the work Is
done. No friction arises among the
directors and the patrons Of the var
ions districts. problems of tax levy
and new school houses are solved.
efficient teachers are found in the
school rooms. we1l-trained children
seems easy and natural and you hard
" take account of the quiet force at
the head OF affairs which controls the
situation. and foresees and prevents
difficulties. Did you ever think what
qualities are required for county
superintendent? Here are few OF
them. a broad culture which comes
from contact with the world and from
chucatior; n rcady-to-use. definite
knowledge OF the best thought in cd
ucational matters: n gracious. SYM
pathetic tact in dealing with people;
clean. sound Judgment: good exec
utive ability: constant. faithful. hon
est effort to do the right thing. There
arc many others. but these will serve
10 show that it is not easy to find
the right person for a position which
means 50 much in the right conduct
Of our schools. Such a person has.
however. been found and proved.
For the third time. Mrs. Money has
received the nomination: for the third
time the people stand ready to give
her their hearty support. She is
known and loved in school and home
in every district in the county. Her
natural ability and her training COM
hing to make her well fitted for the
work. She is eager and enthusiastic
in her chosen profession.
Mrs. Money is woman of strong
and charming personality. Go into
with an infectious enthusiasm that
sends you away feeling good. Her
teachers feel the inspiration and get
the benefit that comes from contact
with the bigger things in educational
work. She can make political
speech that counts. or she can bring
down the house by making silence
eloquent. She can make a graduation
address that does the young folks
good. She can conduct an institute
in such way that an uplit is felt
by instructors and teachers and car
ried away into the schools for their
bettcrmcnt throughout the year.
Mrs. Money has been well trained
for the work she has carried on so
successfully for four years. She has
had nine years actual experience in
teaching in rural, graded, and high
schools. This makes her familiar
with the real problems of the school
room and helpful in overcoming dif-
iculties. She did a High School
course in Claremont. Iowa. studied
in the Normal School in Winona.
