MISS MAYME MOLLOY
Democratic Candidate for County
Superintendent of Schools
In the selection of candidate for
the superintendency of the county
rural schools, the democrats feel that
they are especially fortunate in being
able to present one who is in every
way qualified to succeed the present
county superintendent who for person
al reasons could not accept nomina-
ton, and who, had she done SO, would
have in all probability been unopposed,
so much has she contributed to the
present success and high standard of
the country schools of the county. We
believe that Miss Molloy has the ex-
perience, the tact and the executive
ability to continue the work for the
schools that has been done by the SUI
perintendents of recent years. While
graduate of city school, and sue
cessful teacher in city graded schools,
she has had several years experience
in country school work and knows
thoroughly the needs of the county
schools, the best methods of imparting
instruction to the children, knows the
problems of business administration
the school officers must meet and solve,
knows and appreciates with ready
sympathy the difficulties and discour,
agements that confront the country
school teacher, and because. of this
knowledge would be tower of
strength and helpfulness to pupils.
teachers and school officers.
Miss Molloy graduated in 1898 from
the Grand Rapids, Wis, High School
where she pursued a course in normal
training, and Immediately thereafter
taught in the rural schools for two
years, did graded school work at Pitts
vile, Wis, for two years, and in the
state graded school at Babcock, Wis,
for II years, leaving there in 1903 to
come to Chester to assist in the care
of an invalid mother, since deceased.
During the past four years she has
done school work in the rural schools of
Chester, where her school methods and
success are we'll known and highly ap-
preciated.
That her school work is eminently
satisfactory is shown by the following
voluntary testimonials she holds:
Otto j. Leu, county superintendent
of schools of Wood Co., says: "Miss
Molloy taught under my supervision
for about four years and during that
time she proved herself to be one of
the strongest primary teachers in the
county. School boards will make no
mistake in hiring Miss Molloy."
r. S. Goodhue, principal of the
Pittsville schools writes as follows:
miss Mayme Molloy taught the
second and third grades for two con-
secutive years in a graded school Of
the First Class at Pittsville, under my
supervision. She did excellent work
for US. Her methods of instruction
and discipline were good. l shall be
glad to furnish any further informa-
ton
Arthur Frederick Oakley, of Sherry,
Wis, says: miss Wayne Molloy
taught last year under my supervision
in the State Graded school at Bah
cock. In this work she was very sue
cesstul, both as an instructor and as a
disciplinarian, While insisting upon
thorough work and maintaining per-
feet order, her manner was such as to
win the affection of her pupils and
command the respectful parents
L. E. Colvin, clerk of the Pittsville
school board writes: "Miss Mayme
Molloy has been employed in our
schools for the past two years, and
have found her to be good earnest
worker and lady in every respect"
With such hearty endorsements as
the foregoing which show that Miss
Molloy possesses all the qualities nee
essary in a good superintendent of
schools, you will make no mistake in
voting next November for Miss Molloy
for superintendent of our rural schools.
