v. T. Thayer, Supt., of Ashland, Wis,
Schools, Praises his Work at that Place

Every voter is interested in good
schools and need for efficient and
well prepared men to direct the admin
istration of our schools is sometimes
felt. The democrats this year have
candidate for county superintendent,
! who posses every qualification which
the position demands Grangeville,
whose school has found in Professor
John j. Staley an exceptionally able
man, needs no introduction nor recon-
mendations for his record here has
established his great teaching ability.
The following letter received from
the Board of Education of Ashland,
Wisconsin, where Mr.. Staley taught be-
fore coming to Idaho, gives a splendid
testimonial of his character and worth
as teacher and man, and will please
his admirers here in Grangeville and
interest the men and women who will
east a vote this fall to elect a county
superintendent. The letter is on file
in this office and is as follows:
Ashland, Wisconsin.
August Is, 1914.
Dear Sir:
Your letter regarding Mr.. Staley has
been forwarded to me while ON nv
vacation but I hasten to reply that I
may be of assistance.
believe the people of Idaho
County have rare opportunity pre-
scented to them in the candidacy of Mr..
Staley as county superintendent. His
experience qualities him for this posi-
ton in every respect. He has been a
teacher in the grades of both rural and
city schools and will give the county
the benefits of his practical experience
upon the firing line. He has served as
principal of both common schools and
high schools and has thus first hand
contact with the problems of both, and
the best method for their solution. Mr.
Staley has had practical business ex-
perience which is granted to few educa.
tors. Finally, he has received his
education in one of the strongest pre.
paratory schools of Wisconsin. is
graduate of one of the most thoroupb
OF the eastern colleges and has pursued
advanced special work in the Uniyer
sity of Wisconsin.
I have been personally acoua;nted
with Mr.. Staley for number of wears.
| have seen him in the class room and
have witnessed his success as an ad.
ministrator. In both he has been most
successful. Few teachers equal him
in skill. He combines the qualities of
natural teacher. AS a principal he
possesses the confidence and respect of
his teachers. He is NATURAL leader
and his wide experience makes possible.
most valuable aid to the STRUGGLING
teacher.
Mr.. Staley is a man of the h;obes+
Ideals, commanding personality and
striking personal appearance. From
my personal acquaintance with Mr.
Staley l feel that I can recommend
him as teacher of unusual success n
skillful administrator of both city and
country schools, a man of pract;ca,
business experience, and above all as
man with the highest ideals and per-
sonal standards in whom may be en-.
trusted task or responsibility with
the absolute assurance that he will
perform his duties faithfully and well
and conscientiously.
Very truly yours,
Y. T. Thayer, superintendant.n
