MRS. CREENLEAF
ADVOCATES UNITY
in SCHOOL WORK

Mrs. Irene g. Grcenlcaf, candi-
date for the office of County Sup
crintendent of Schools strikes Il
Work, unity and economy
Mrs. Greenlcaf's meaning of
work is broader than just the per-
'formancc of the duties of the sup
clintcndent. She believes that the
teachers and supervisors should per-
form their work in a satisfactory
manner and promises to keep a re-
cord at the superintendent S office
where trustees may get a straight
forward opinion on the achieve
ments and capabilities of any teach
ers they might wish to employ. She
stand for strong rural supervisors
who will devote their entire time to
school activities. She believes that
each rural school should be close
lv supervised to the end that all
schools work along similar lines in
the grading of pupils and in fol-
lowing the course of study.
Unity has also broad sense in
Mrs. Gneenleaf S idea of its ap-
plication. She states that close CO.
operation between the districts III
the interchange of data, IDEAS, re-
cords, etc, would be great bcnc-
fit to all. She believes the trus
tees, superintendent and supervis-
orS should make Il united effort and
work along like lines because when
all is said and done the greatest
need is cooperation. She is for con
structivc trustees meetings. She
looks at at the country school svs-
TEN as a whole and is against one
district bidding against another or
any thing that might cause fric-
tion.
Included in her unity p rogram
] would be the exchange of mimco-
graph copies of work and sugges-
tions which could at all times be
supplemented by new ideas and sug-
gestions from the teachers them
selves. This would she states, help
; break the monotonv of school rou-
tine 50 deadly to teacher and pa
pill.
AS to economy. she believes not
only in saving wherever possible III
buying but in achieving economy
! by getting greater results from any
money expended. She is a strong
believer in IA well planned budget
and states she will insist upon
schools staying within legal bounds
and the amount of money allowed
! them.
Mrs. Gcrcnlcaf is campaigning
with IA thorough knowledge of I'M
pcrial valley schools gained through
a number of years of association
with the schools. This is her sixth
| year as clerk of the Alamo school
board and she has been on the Holt
Vile high school board for the
! past three years. She is mother
with two children in high school
and one in the Alamo elementary
school. She has formed her ideas
and ideals for which she stands
from close study and in her slo-
gan, "work, unity and economy -
| She has condensed the needs of I'm
pcrial county schools as she sees
/ them

SIMPSON BELIEVES
IN INDEPENDENCE
and SQUARE DEAL

The expression "a self made
man. has been weakened by over
usc,- but it is still the only express
sion available to describe the type
of man who has made his own way
to success, without help, and against
odds. Such man is John f. Simp-
son, candidate to the office Of
Judge of the supreme court.
Born on farm in Mississippi,
Simpson attended the country
schools, which were open at that
time only two months in winter and
two III summer; worked on the farm
and studied nights until the age Of
Is, when he obtained teacher S
certificate and became country
school teacher. From that age until
he was II Simpson, alternating with
his brothers, farmed, taught school
and attended school until the Young
cr members Of the family were able
to care for themselves.
Ip 1894 he had moved to Texas
and was admitted to the bar. He
then spent six years as county at
torncv in Young county, Texas, be
ing elected his last term without
opposition. In 1912 he was elected
as Il member of the state lcgisla
turc, and attended two sessions. 1t
was while serving upon the irriga-
tion committee of the assembly he
first became interested in Imperial
county, and its opportunities and in
1913 he moved here and commenced
the practice Of law in Holtvillc. He
was city attorney there from 1916
until 1923, when he moved to Ell
Centre and was appointed deputy
district attorney by Ernest II. Utley.
He has held the appointment since
that time, participating i'll many i'm
portant cases.
Judge Simpson believes in the
principal that the rights of all are
equal before the law; that every
case should be heard and determiu-
ed solely upon its merits, and that
certainty of the law rather than its
severity deters men from the com
