The office of superintendent of
public instruction is one Of the most
responsible in the county, touching
as it does the training of the rising
generation in the public schools Of
the county. w. o. Steen announces
today his candidacy for reelection
to this position. The schools have
prospered under his supervision
and he has fulfilled the duties with
distinct ability, unbounded enthus-
iasm and careful attention to de-
tail, which has placed our schools
among the best in the state. Poll
tics should not be considered In the
selection Of a county superintendent
and Mr.. Steen has 80 conducted
himself that denomination is prac-
tically an election. Almost everyone
regardless of politics is for Mr..
Steen and 1t is probable that he
will have no opposition at the
polls.
