ried to a Scandinavian lady, he had,
in his family affairs, proven his loyal

His father came to America in lS43,

BIOGRAPHICAL.
Professor Lawrence was born Janu-
ary y, 1871, at Madison, Wisconsin.
His early education was acquired in
the public schools OF that place. Later
he was graduated by the University
of Wisconsin,, taking his B. L. degree.
In 1867 he did post graduate work
in the same institution.
He was married August %, 1900, to
Miss Gunda r.. Jacobson of Canton,
his assistant principal of the high
school of that place. Mrs. Lawrence
is graduate of the Madison, S. d.,
State Normal School. Therefore the
schools of Madison, Wisconsin, and Of
Madison, South Dakota, gave to US
the two educators who will in all pro-
liability lead In the educational
thought Of the state for the next two,
and possibly for the next four years.
To their union have been born two
boys--one nine and the other six years
Of age.
LAWRENCE THE EDUCATOR.
The best endorsement any man can
have is the longevity of his service
in a certain position or with a certain
firm. No words from his employers
can attest more truthfully to his
worth than the fact of his long con-
tinued employment by them.
Hotf has been city superintendent
at Mitchell for seven years. His pred
ecessor, the iamented Quigley, held
the same position for ten years.
Strachan has served for twenty con-
tinuous years as superintendent of the
Dead wood city schools; while Cook is

PROF. C. G. LAWRENCE.
Republican Candidate for State
Superintendent of Public
Instruction.

The following interesting sketch Of
Prof. Lawrence was written by Hon.
O. w. Coursey for the ArguS-L Leader
which we take great pleasure in re-
producing:
This year the republican party of
this state, by their selection made by
popular vote Of the party at the pri-
marieS held in June, presents to the
people Of South Dakota for endorse
ment by their ballots at the Novem-
Der election, as their candidate for
superintendent Of Public Instruction,
a man of sterling worth, endowed
with great natural talents, enriched
by education and experience-one
whose record as an advanced thinker
III the educational world and whose
activities in the superlative execution
of his ideals have already found con-
crete expression in the .SchOolS of
Lincoln county Prof. G. G.. Lawrence
of Canton.
LAW OF PROMOTION
superintendent is largely supervisory
of the work done by the various coun-
ty Superintendents, it is but natural
that an outgoing county superinten-
dent should aspire to the state posi-
tion. Fundamentally, a man cannot
inspire another man to do thing
which he himself has never done and
which the one whom he is directing
has reason to believe that the one
giving the instructions is perhaps not
able to do. The principle holds true
in every walk Of life. The successful
military commander is he who rose
from the ranks. The successful dis
trict superintendent formerly desig-
mated a ''presiding elderly is he who
has been successful preacher first.
The successful sales manager is the
man who was first successful sales
man. And so on through the various
activities of life.

The Canton switch-yartls were
crowded Monday morning by people
viewing the wreck Of two engines and
a caboose belonging to the Milwaukee
railroad. The wreck was caused by
a gravel train with two engines pull
ing it, running into q string of cars
standing on the south main track.
The atr-break failed to work and the
gravel train g ding at fair speed crash
ed into the caboose and wrecking that
and the head engine 80 that 1t will
never be Of much use except a. scrap
iron. No one was injured . the O.
boose was not occupied and both the
engineer and the fireman Of the 6rst
engine jumped, while the the two IL
the back stuck to their post and Luck
lily were uninjured. Canton, on the
whole, is very lucky on tho Wluo
proposition and It seems mtraculo
too, as there are trains in and ont - 4
all hours Of the day and night and e
is only thru good, careful work thAf

There are of course exceptions to
this. South Dakota had one rare ex-
ception to the rule in the services Of
Hon. 6. W. Nash, a former Superin-
tendent of Public instruction. Nash
was distinctly and decidedly college
man. He was college bred and had
taught only in college, without ever
having served day as county super
lntendent. (And by the way he too
hailed from Canton.) Yet he gave to
the state one of the most successful
administrations of her educational af-
fairs that she has ever enjoyed. In
fact Nash was so "large" and he filled
the office so full, that he could be
seen projecting out beyond it on all
sides of it. But, again we emphasize,
he was an exception

that at later age it longs to mix
mud pies and to cook; that its whole
tendency is one of physical usefulness;
that as soon as it enters school We be-
gin to educate 1t away from the use
of Its hands which should by their
economical use, earn its bread and
butter for life, and instill into II the
idea that its brain and not It's hands
were intended for use only, and that
the latter should not be soiled; that
the whole underlying scheme is,wroog.
Accordingly, for the past three
years he has carried on In Lincoln
county, in addition to his regular edu-
cational work, boys corn growing
contests and girls sewing and baking
clubs. True; South Dakota has
common school course of study which
by law county superintendents are
compelled to require their teachers to
follow. Lawrence abridged IL. Hs
went beyond It. he put domestic
science into his schools and demanded
that each teacher In the county give
to the girls In their respective schools
instruction for one and one-half hours
every Friday afternoon, in sewing and
preparing themselves for the respon-
sibilities Of practical and happy life;
while special instruction was given TO
the boys In the soil, the germanization
of cereals and the care they demand
through the period Of their growth,
in order to harvest a full crop; the
value Of birds as insect destroyers, etc
AS a climax he has arranged for
short course in Agriculture and Do
nestle Science to be held at Canton
In December Of this year by nix ex-
perts from the faculty Of the South
Dakota State college, at Brookings.
Such is the leadership and such Il
the man upon whom the eyes Of the
state will be centered after January
l, 1911. Talented, educated, sxper-
fenced, cultured, he brings to the pO-
sition an intellectual equipment that
bespeaks success, and 3 moral and
mental force that never knew defeat.

rounding outa quarter Of a century as
president Of the SpeartiSh Normal.
We perfect this line Of thought by
citing the record of him who consti-
tutes our theme. After teaching two
months in rural school in Wiscon-
sin, he was called to Augustana COL
lege, Canton, S. D., in 1894, where he
served four years on the faculty Of
that school, and then yielded to the
request Of the citizens of Canton to
become the head of their public
schools. He held the latter position
for eight consecutive years; and only
surrendered it in 1906 to become a
candidate for superintendent Of
schools in Lincoln county. He was
elected, and reelected in 1908.
Recapitulating, we give a resume;
two months teacher in a rural school;
four years d college professor; eight
years city superintendent; four years
county superintendent. Fine recordl
eh?
AS COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
1t was not until Lawrence entered
the county superintendent's office,
got out among the people of his coun-
ty and the educators of the state,
that his real work began to be known.
True; he. had attanded district and
state educational gatherings and had
read some able papers before them,
but the "bigness" of the fellow, aside
of his domineering six-foot-four stat
ure, had not comm anded general at
tention.
Entering upon his duties as super
intendent of Lincoln county, he took
one year to get his bearings and to
find out the necessities of his schools
Then, his convictions crystalized that
when a child comes into the world, it
begins to move and use its tiny hands;
that as soon as it is able to sit up, II
given blocks, it will begin to build;
