Brother Tough would make capable

all that holds the Sentinel back from

that Taylor county has piece OF

nothing too good for Taylor at any

PhiIIppl Republican.

The friends of the former "boy SUI
perlntendent" of Barbour county. Mr..
NJ. C. Tough, are getting very much
in earnest in the matter of seeing him
made the nominee for State superin-
tendent of free schools and they are
not willing to have the honor of fur.
nishIng him go to another county.
Myron Carleton Tough was born on a
Barbour county farm and spent the
first seventeen years OF his life in
going to school four months in the
winter and working the remaining
eight months on the farm. At the age
of seventeen he had acquired sufficient
education to pass an examination and
teach school. After having taught a
term and saved enough money to at
tend summer school. this young far
mer boy made the old timers sit up
and take notice by passing the best
examination of any teacher in the
county and when only eighteen years
OF age he held the highest certificate
in the county That at once gave him
rank as leading scholar and his sue
cess as teacher put him in line for
promotion. so when the time for cleo.
ton of county superintendent of
schools came around, although young
Tough lacked something over a month
of being twenty-one years of age. he
was placed on the Republican ticket
and elected, the first Republican to
hold the office In Barbour for a period
of twenty years. While serving as
county superintendent. he entered the
West Virginia Conference Seminary of
Buckhannon from which institution he
graduated with high honors. After
his graduation there he taught teach
ers' normals In the county and was
principal of the graded school at Be-
lington Having visited all the schools
In Barbour county and stayed all night
at the homes of hundreds OF the coun-
try people and mingled with people of
all classes and conditions, it is no
wonder the citizens of Barbour county
have warm spot in their hearts for
this energetic and ambitious young
man. 1t is no wonder either that Bar
bour county wants share III the hon
or of asking for place for him on the
State ticket. So when the ticket maxi
ers are building, we ask that every
body remember NJ. C. Lough ''of Bar
bour," as candidate for State Super
intendent of Free Schools.

Words OF commentator from no

than the above from Carl Tough. Since
the time he was elected on the Repub-
lican ticket before he was 81 years of
age to be superintendent of schools of
Barbour county until the present time,
the writer has been watching with in

man in the educational and journals

were married we had the honor of per-

The Barbour county friends OF Mr..
NJ. c. Lough are glad to see his name
mentioned by many of the State pa.
pcrs as a probable candidate for State
Superintendent of Free Schools. Mr..
Tough is a Barbour county product.
He was born and reared on Bar
bour county farm and got his start in
life as a teacher in Barbour county
schools. He began teaching at the
age of seventeen and shortly before
he had reached his twenty.first birth
day, he was elected to the Office of
county superintendent. the first Re-
publican to fill that office in Barbour
for period of twenty years. Dur
ing his term of office he entered the
West Virginia Conference Seminary
at Buckhannon, graduating at that In
stituHon in 1894. Later he took thu
degrees of A. B. and A. NJ. from the
West Virginia University. He taught
in the Fairmont Normal School for
six years, serving for six months as
Acting Principal of that institution.
For several years lie was prominent
in the institute work of the State.
In 1903, Mr.. Lough resigned from
the Normal School work, although he
was elected Principal of the West
Liberty State Normal School. Later
he assisted in organizing the Falrmont
West vlrginian Publishing Company
and Is now editor OF one of the strong
papers of the state. Recognizing Mr..
Lough's worth as an educator, Cover

didates for State superintendent of
Free Schools that 1t must say few
words for Mr.. NJ. 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 rs 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
State Normal. Being an editor, he
has strong political backing. and his

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
iticians ready to go to the last ditch
in the fight for his nomination.
Mr.. Tough 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 superintend-
ent, 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 tho
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 II the school
people and other people of the State
wanted him to be State superintenl-
ent, he would be glad to have the Of
fee. He said his heart was in the
school work and that he would esteem
1t 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 a strong following for the nomi-
nation in all parts of the State.
