TO THE TEACHERS AND VOTERS
OF MARSHALL COUNTY: Il:
We believe it to be our duty as
teachers and as citizens and voters OF
this county, having the interests OF
the boys and girls and the schools al
heart, to support the candidacy OF
David johnson for reelection to the
office of County Superintendent of
School for. the following reasons:
T. His qualifications are superior tc
those Of his opponent.
2. He has thorough and intimate
knowledge Of rural school problems
and how to meet and solve them
gained by experience both as teacher
and superintendent. III
8. His election as member of the
State Reading Circle Board where he
has served for several years and as
president of that board for one year
is an indication and evidence that he
is recognized as an educator of SUI
perior intelligence and judgment. 1t
is the duty Of this board to select the
reading circle books for the profess
sional improvement of the rural teach
ers Of the state. =.
a. He has served as President Of
the Northwest Minnesota Educational
Association and is always active in
the councils of that organization
which is further evidence that he is
a recognized, progressive educational
leader. ..'.
5. He has spent all his life, thus
far, in school work and is still a
young man.
6. The Marshall County Teachers
Association, under his leadership, has
become one of the most active and
progressive organizations of rural
teachers in the state; which is evil
dence that he has fulfilled the letter
and spirit Of the State Law which
says that one of his duties is to ZEN
courage teachers associations"
z. Under his leadership Reading
Circle Clubs have been established in
nearly every section of the county for
the professional improvement Of teach

8. The ontmhly news letter is sent
out to rural teachers from his Office

to bind them together as solid work
ing body and has given them the Op-
portunity to become, themselves, lead

ress.
9. Pupils from Marshall County
rural schools won the pennant for the
best spelling team in the Spelling Con-
test with pupils from eleven counties
contesting last year. For several
years our contestants have won honors
in these contests. Our CONTESTANTS
were trained and selected under the
direction of our County Superintend-
ent.
10. Under his direction athletics
have been introduced into the rural
schools of the county. This has put
more life land enthusiasm into all OF
the rural school work and makes Tor
a healthier, happier rural community
life. '.
We have taught in the rural schools
of this county and prefer to Work
here because we have here the oppor-
unity of cooperating with wise ana
efficient county superintendent i'll
building a better education for the
children under our charge. we pc
lieye that this is no time to expert
ment with an inexperienced and I'M
tried executive but a time to keep
trained and efficient man in the work
This appeal is made without any
solicitation OF suggestion from the
present County Superintendent. 1t IS
a voluntary move on our part and IS
made only because we feel very
strongly that it will be for the best
interests Of the boys and girls that
County Superintendent David Johnson
be retained in his present position.
