The Winslow mail. (Winslow, Ariz.) 1893-1926, 1924-10-31

Why should several children have to
travel miles and miles to attend
school in another district than his
own, simply to save the taxpayers at
large a few dollars? Have you MOTTO
ed any appreciate decrease in your
taxes? If in the years to come, our
communities show by their illiteracv
and lawlessness the result of our
present day false economy, who will
be responsible?
1--WE as taxpayers must consider not
only the present but the future we'll
fare of our communities. Look, there
fore, / say to our schools. AS we
make our homes and surroundings the
very best we can for our children, so
should our efforts extend themselves
to include neighborhood and COM
munity welfare.
who is the better able to rightfully
judge community's needs? One who
has grown up with it, or one who
comes in and has only a superficial
knowledge? / have lived in this coun-
ty many years. Have taught in the
smallest as we'll as the largest schools
here. Have been teacher and princi-
pal. Have had rural patrons as we'll
as town, and therefore l say I am
better qualified to know the needs of
our schools. Does twenty-three years
experience in the schools of your
county count for naught? Who, ask
you, is more competent to fill the posi-
ton for which / ask your support?
81 have always been able to cooper
ate with school patrons and always
have had their cooperation. Harmony
has always existed among my teach
ers and pupils Ask them Children
will tell you the truth about these
things whether done consciously or
not.
81 have always done my best, wheth-
err it is in the church, lodgeroom or
club. My help has always been de-
pended upon. You can depend upon
me. Will you?
"If you wish courteous, efficient and
prompt service in the office of the
county superintendent of schools of
this county, vote for me will help
get It,
s 1.-TWO years ago, the campaign for
county school superintendent was one
in which the successful candidate, who
is again my opponent, dealt largely
in covert whisperings, insinuatiOns
and 1nnuendOeS. She has begun this
campaign in the same way All who
know me, know I have never engaged
in what is commonly known as mud
singing. During the last election |
ignored these things and whatever at
tention / give them now is done, not
because of any desire on my part, but
entirely in self defense.
"The office of county superintendent
should be above such petty and un-
fair tactics. 1t should be recognized
as an office where only merit and facts
count.
You had two years of my admins
tration. You have now had two years
under my opponent.
"Ask people who have had dealings
with that office during both admin
istratiOns. 1 am willing that the vOt-
ers should be guided by their verdict.
Il have reasonable assurance that
at least 80 per cent of the teachers
and school boards of the county are
going to vote for me- They know
the situation. Ask them.
IF you want this office run in a
business-like manner, so a few min
utes business can be transacted with
out wasting two or three hours of
time;
So that teachers and others having
business there will always be treated
with courtesy;
by one who can work in harmony
with teachers and school authorities;
by one whose books were always
balanced by the state examiners in
two days instead of ten or fifteen
days;
by one who is capable, without out
side help of balancing her own books
at the end of each month;
'By one who believes in, and prom
ises to practice openness and fair play
in the administration of the office;
Then 1 solicit your support
Il do not make any claims to being
infallible nor to being superhuman in
ability, but do assure you, if elected,
to give you all my time in earnest,
devoted service to this county, in
which I have lived and taught for the
past tWenty-three years"
