FULL OF SYMPATHY FOR THE STRUGGLER

S. C. Ferrell, for Superintendent of « Public Instruction. Fine Intelligence, a gracious personality and wholesome comeliness of character are combined in Samuel C. Ferrell, the educator. Mr. Ferrell is strong among teachers and school workers in Indiana, and in his race for superintendent of public instruction, this year, it is predicted that the influence of county superintendents and instructors generally will be thrown in large measure to his cause. Mr. Ferrell’s many years as a district school teacher, as a high school teacher and princfpal, as a £ity superintendent at Shelbyville, and as a county superintendent iij Porter county, fit him to deal with pH phases of schogj work in the slate. His own experience—working his way through college, to his A. B. degree, before he was 21 years old —gives him the viewpoint of the aspiring student, and gived him to see the needs and the actualities of the school system. He has all the sympathy of the self-made man for the youth who is struggling upward towards success. Mr. Ferrell already is known widely as a helper of the young. As state superintendent he will widen that reputation in a most practical and beneficent way.
