BRUMBAUCH MAN
FOR HIGH OFFICE
William Lauder Talks About the
Republican Who VIII Be
Named For Governorship

William Lauder. of Riddlesburg,
Board of Education, man thoroughly
acquainted with Superintendent Brum-
baugh and his executive capacity, in
recent interview has described DR..
Brumbaughs methods as an admins
traitor connected with the State Board
Of Education and in charge of the
public school system of Philadelphia,
controlling 5000 teachers, $4,000
pupils and plant worth $3O,000,000.
His description shows the type of
man who is now a candidate before
the people for the governorship of the
State.
"Brumbaugh is not a desk adminis-
traitor. He believes too much in
people to be content to push buttons
and handle rubber stamps. Always
he is seeking the personal touch with
the men and women who work with
him. No unexpected orders go out
from his office. If big thing is to
be done, he gathers his staff about
him and talks it over The idea is
never a small one or is it ever a
selfish one. In a short time he will
have the most reluctant opponent on
his side as an enthusiastic supporter.
He has large vision, sure insight
into the movement of events and an
intense conviction-amoun almost
to religious ferver, of the sacred task
of educating all the children of all the
people. 1t is always for the good of
the coming generation that he speaks.
of those who are now children but who
soon will be the men and women in
whose hands our destinies lie. Small
minded people become great by the
contact of his presence-they partake
of his own greatness and gather
strength from him."
