OF SCHULzAND
THILENIUS
Calls up Memories of School
Book Deal and Speaks of
Queer Transactions
FROM CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE
Gives Detailed Account of Good
Things Accomplished by the
Present Board
GOOD MEN SHOULD NOT HELP
TO DEFEAT GOOD CAUSES.


The defeat of Schulz, Thilenius,
or Haas no matter by whom could
be claimed as victory for the forces
that put through the famous book
deal of 1912. Do you remember it?
1t may be safely said that the
voters have not forgotten the book
deal and other queer transactions
which happened more than n year
ago. They still think as they did
when those transactions became known.
Every man who was on the wrong
side of the text book question two
years ago, is now against Schulz and
Thilenius.
Teachers in the schools of Cape
Girardeau are not now elected be-
cause of favoritism or political trades.
Good teachers are not dismissed for
spite or revenge under present man
agement.
We need on our board of Educa-
ton such men as Thienius and
Schulz have proved themselves to be.
Haas will match well with them.
How can the voters show that they
approve the magnificent work of
the present board of education? How
about unanimous reelection of
Schulz and Thilenius?

approval of the work of Thilenius
and Schulz by the election by a
great majority, of Walker and Nuss-
baum. This time they can show
their approval of all four by the
reelection of Thilenius and Schulz.
Nowadays, the superintendent does
the work for which he is employed
and paid. The school board does
what school board is expected to
do. The result is shown in good
schools rapidly getting better. How
do you like it?
As a matter of course, teachers
and principals know rather more
about text books and other teaching
appliances than most other people,
whose attention is not directed that
way. Schulz and Thilenius and Haas
will not attempt to select text books
and school-room supplies without
the advice of competent people,
anymore than they would try to
make the plans for our great new
nighschool building without the as
sistance of an architect.
Everybody who is opposed to
straight, sensible business methods
in the management of our school
affairs is now against Thilenius and
Schulz
The members of the present board |
have given much tine and thought |
to the matter of erecting our new
buildings. In this work they have |
had the assistance of the best archi-
tects in the country. They have
definite ideas as to what these build |
ings can and should be. The con-
tracts for construction must be let |
within few weeks. Can n new man,
no matter how well prepared generally, |
take up the work at this point with
advantage to the people of Cape
Everybody had the same invita-
on to attend the mass meeting that
nominated Haas, Thilenius and Schulz
Everyone who was there had equal
voice in picking the candidates. Not |
an unfair thing was done in that
Three clean, capable men
we're chosen. Isn't it your duty as
well as your pleasure to support the
nominees of that meeting2 Or do
you prefer self-nominated candidates.
Maybe you like them to come sud-
denly at the last minute without
knowing the forces behind them.
