Supprintindints Office; an the best
developed case in the hull shtate is
over there in Barnes COonty where
Teddy named Minnie j. Nelson hes
been Country Sooprintindint fer IL
or thirteen years. She's on the job
ivry mint Nv the day studying the
welfare NV her shkools; an she's a
skOol- woman, iyry inch, frum the
crooWn NV her .fOine head to the tip
Nv her cOmmOn-sense shoes. Barnes
County ranks first in the ixcellince Nv
