a most satisfactory manner and this
is the best recommendation for her
election that can be offered Her pro-

following recommendations:
"TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:

woman and teacher of fine abilities.
have known her for some ten years,
during five of which she was associat-
ed with me as teacher of a seventh
grade in the Hawthorne school in this
city. She served in a very difficult
position there with entire satisfaction
and although number of years have
elapsed since that time, I recall very
distinctly the regret with which her
decision to retire from our teaching
corps was received.
"She was thoroughly qualified by
education as we'll as in spirit and per-
sonal qualities. Her work was of
the best. Had she remained with us
! she would now be one of our super
vising principals. She has the quail
ties of leadership, and take pleasure
in commencing her to the favor of
those seeking persons possessing these
qualities for educational positions re-
quiring such.
Very sincerely,
W. E. HOOVER"

Because of such qualifications as
these mentioned, Miss Johonnott was
selected to serve as deputy in the Of

in Valley county. All who had the
privilege of becoming acquainted with
her school work praised her highly
the county superintendent, the tru

the school, as we'll as the children.
