Finds Favor Among PrOmi-

County Superintendent Lawrence
has already received letters of con-
graduation from many prominent ed
ucators In the state pledging their
support and expressing a desire to see
him elected state superintendent.
All recognize his fitness and the ne
cessity for q vigorous, progressive edu-
Gator succeeding State S%uperinten-
dent Ustrud.
Prof. Lawrence has made more pro-
gress In general and specific lines OF
education than any other prominent
educator In the state, and his work
among the rural schools has won for
him the esteem of every mar and
woman who wants to make the home
attractive for the boys and girls.
Corn growing for the boys and domes-
tic science for the girls In our rural
schools has opened a new life for the
country youth. Other counties have
followed the example set by Lincoln
and Minnehaha Is following close in
corn growing.
Prof. Lawrence Is the man needed
1t Pierre to set In motion his progress
sive educational ideas throughout the
state. These new educational fea-
lures are getting recognition In all
colleges not rOck-ribbed In old fogy-
