Mrs. H. A. French, 1874 Jackson
street, was unanimously Endorsed last
night by the North Topeka Civic club,
as a candidate for member of the
Topeka school board, to succeed the
late H. w. Bomgardner.
North Topeka has not been repre-
scented on the school board for a
number of years, and comprising as
it does. one-sixth of the population of
Topeka, the North side believes this
district is entitled to a representative
on the board.
Mrs. French is especially fitted for
this position as she has always taken
an active interest in school matters,
and has had experience in teaching,
having been a teacher before her mar
riage. The mother of a large family,
most of her children attending the city
schools, she is in close touch and SYM
indorsing her, the North Topeka Civic
club believes North Topeka interests
will be ably represented on the school
board by one who has the welfare of
the schools at heart. When the school
board meets to appoint a member to
fill the vacancy, a delegation of rep
resentative citizens of North Topeka
will be present to urge the appoint
ment of Mrs. French
