Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 124, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 May 1911 — Candidates for Superintendency Of The Jasper County Schools. [ARTICLE]

Candidates for Superintendency Of The Jasper County Schools.

The candidates for the place of county school superintendent are busy. The county board of education, which meets Monday, June sth, will make a selection. There are thirteeh trustees and it will be necessary, for seven to unite on one candidate to elect. The candidates are, so far as learned, Ernest Lamson, L. H. Hamlltop, Ross Dean, Homer Arnold and J. C. Dickerson. * ' * Mr. Lamson has been the county* superintendent for the past four years and is running for re-election on his record. Mr. Hamilton held the office for ten years prior to four years ago. Since that time he 1 has been engaged in other work. He is anxious to get back into educational pursuits and his candidacy is said to have been induced by trustees who knew of his former work with the schools. Ross Dean is a student of well known ability and has made a success in his chosen profession. He secured a college education by alternately teaching and going to Indiana University and his work as the head of the department of history in-the Rensselaer schools has proven him an able teacher, and he meets up to every requirement of good citizenship as do the other candidates for the office.

Homer Arnold is a Barkley township boy, who has taught school and gone to college and who is a high class young* man and would make a good superintendent. J. C. Dickerson is one of the ablest of the candidates, having had long and successful years of experience. The fact that he has been in Jasper county only two years will probably operate against him. Superintendent Sterrett, of the Wheatfield schools, is also said by some to be a candidate. He taught school in Rensselaer several years ago and his work gave general satisfaction. He is credited with improving the grade of the Wheatfield schools and with helping materially to make‘s it a commissioned school. With these able candidates it looks like the county board of education would be able to get a good head for the schools of the county, no matter where their choice fell.

Delphi physicians have entered into an agreement not to give prescriptions for liquor under any circumstances. This seems to explode the claim that liquor is needed as a medicine. If druggists would now do the same it would be easy to line up the bootleggers.

Homer Arnold, son of Charles Arnold, of Barkley township, will be home from Marion Friday, where he has been attending normal. He has had considerable experience as a school teacher, has made a 60 months’ license and is devoted to the cause of education. He is one of the candidates for county school superintendent. ■ * .Pft Diaz has postponed hik resignation another day. This caused a riot and the police had to Are into a howling mob that paraded the streets. Diaz relinquishes his office with a -reluctance that fulfills the old saying: “Officeholders seldom die and never resign.’*

Frank Randle came over from Monon this morning to see his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Randle. He is traveling on the road now. Mrs. Randle has been staying at Monon since the severe sickness of her father, Eli Wood. He is some better now but not yet out of danger.

The government has sanctioned the establishment of two or three branch employment bureaus, with fat salaries for the manager and his secretary. Another new office is that of chief of the bureau of inspection. The chief has several assistants. The economic governor is filling jobs with faithful democrats, and the taxpayer is the “goat.” ?
