W’GHEE Candidate for Superintendent of County Schools Unostentatiously attending to his duties as assistani county superin- tendent of schoolg”for the past three years, practically little has become known to the general public of the work of J. C. McGhee, candidate for county superintendent, but in his capacity he has visited the most re- mote of the county schools and fa- miliarized himself with the condi- tions of the rural districts and their needs of country schools, and if elected would give to these schools the attention they deserve. Mr. McGhee has long been a resi- dent of Beltrami county and through- out the country is well known and commands the highest respect. For fourteen years he lived on a home- stead in Eckles township and is in- terested in the farmer and his prob- lems. He is also the secretary of the Bemidji Mutual Fire Insurance company, which he helped organize in 1914, and of which he has been the secretary, unanimously chosen, since its organization. He taught country schools fourteen years, which familiarizes him with their work, the lives and needs of country teachers and people. While holding down his homestead, he taught the home school seven years. From this little school he sent out seven teachers, among whom were some of the best of the county for several years. These girls were at the point of giving up further effort to gain an education when he became their teacher. As principal of a consolidated school, he tanght not only grade sub- jects, but fitted high school pupils York. ° The 100,000 members of the Amer- ica = First associatfon throughout Minnesota will receive within a few days copies of the famous Lichnow- sky memorandum. The guilt of Berlin in throwing the entire world into war in 1914, is proven in a 185 page book, printed in the original German, as written by the prince, with English translation. This famous document has caused much internal strife in Germany, where the original printed copies were seized by the police in Feb- ruary of this year. However, it was ‘ater printed in Sweden and the matter given to the world. 1t is the first time that the people of Minnesota have had an opportun- ity to get the real inside disclosures from Prince Lichnowsky, who was Had his advice been taken, instead, she might her, England, Russia, “The Lichnowsky memorandum subjects required for a teacher’s first grade certificate. While principal at Hendrum, his work was so thorough that two of his pupils were admitted to the Minnesota state university, twelve ,to the North Dakota state university, two to Macalister college, four to the Moorhead normal school, besidés a number to other educa- tional institutions. Among his for- mer pupils are a North Dakota state’s attorney, the superintendent of the Kenyon high school, bankers, editors and lawyers, all of whom give much of the credit of their success in life to the earnest, persistent efforts of J. €. McGhee. Mr. McGhee has also taken-a deep interest in the welfare of the Bemidji public schools and the educational work of the entire school system of the county. He has been helpful to the civic interests of his city and county and taken an interest in all movements that had to do with their advancement, and his worth is fully recognized. is slowly filtering through the minds said Robert W. Hargadine, secretary of the FIFTY DRAFTEES LEAVE TOMORROW FOR CAMP Fifty recruits will leave Bemidji tomorrow morning at 7:35 o’clock for Camp Forest, Ga., the quota compris- ing some of the original Class One.
