NELSON The People’s Candidate for the Office of Sup- erintendent of Public Instruction Miss Nielson was born in the good educational state of Michigan, in the city of Jackson, but in early childhood came with her parents to Barnes County, North Dakota, where she has since resided. She has enjoyed all the ‘delights of pioneer life on a North Dakota prairie farm, and knows the trials and hardships of our early settlers. She educated in the rural schools of Barnes County, the public schools of Valley City, and the state universities of North Dakota and Michigan. Her education is not all derived from schools and books. She has acquired’much from travel, from life, and from contact with people who were in posse sion of the information she needed in her work. She probably knows mc : people who have a contri- bution to make to education than any othe: rson in North Dakota. Early in life she taught the home school 1 ‘evart Township (the town- ship was named for her grandfather) her ru: t school training extending through two years during’ summer terms. A..2r attendance at the State University she was employed in the schools of Valley City for thirteen years, beginning in the fifth grade and finishing her teaching career as one of the most hofiored high school teachers ever employed in the city. She was head of the Science Department of the Valley City High School for a num- ber of years. A city superintendent under whom Miss Nielson taught for nine years says of her, “She attained a varied experience and not only has her experi- ence shown that she has the resource to handle little children as well as young men and women, but also the power to handle young men and women as well as little children I know of no other statement that- would mean more for a teacher. She is one of those strong, womanly, vigorous, and active enthusiasts, self-reliant and courageous, whose powers are..so much greater than her tasks demand that the burden of her work never becomes a dead weight. She has much power in reserve and impresses one with the fact that she is easily master of the situation. She is not merely ‘an educator, but a teacher, in school and out, and a moulder of character as well. She not only has the faculty of interesting pupils in school, but in any scheme for improvement. She understands the needs of pupils and how to realize their needs. ; She is conscientiously devoted to duty. She is a genial co-worker and is ever ready for advice or direction from those in authority, and is one of those people whom you can put in charge of an undertaking and leave it * with her, knowing that it will be accomplished.” She resigned her high school position to become a candidate for the office of County Superintendent of Schools. She was triumphantly elected and has continued to serve in that capacity up to the present time, com- pleting her sixth term and twelfth year January 1st, next, as educational leader in a county, that has always been a pace setter in education. More times than otherwise she has been elected without opposition, \invfact after the first election has only ‘had opposition once, and now after a term of service longer than any other present superintendent ,voluntarily surrendered her-office for the purpose of advanced study. Her plans have been disrupted by the unsought endorseemnt of two important state political organizations. As a teacher in the public schools she had already shown capacity for leadership. It remained for the office of County Superintendent to offer her opportunity for the development and exercise of her superlative powers of leadership and organization. She has come to be recognized as one of the State’s ablest educational leaders and superintendents. She has long been prominrenk: in the movement for consolidation and standardization of rural schools. Her first term’s work was devoted to the beautification of buildings and grounds. The improvement of rural schools is not a theoretical or academic question with her. She has been. right in the 1d, organizing the people and leading them in the difficult work of con- solidating schools in a county that‘ has what is known as the “district” system, Barnes County’s open country consolidated school buildings have been commented upon by national educators as conforming to their national standards, Under her guidance there has been developed a type of building adapted to the rural: school conditions. Seven of these modern buildings having gymnasium, auditorium, running water, toilet, modern lighting plant and drinking water fountain, have been erected in the open country besides four other graded schools in the open country. She knows teachers and good teaching and has surrounded herself by an able corps. The one-room school has not been neglected. It has been improved in material equipment and in method. The community spirit has been awakened in every district,.Thg num- ber of children finishing their eighth grade work has been many times mul- tiplied. She was the first to conceive and carry out the county play day. This is an event in which the school children of the county are assembled at the county seat for an annual festival of athletic contests, plays and games. is a recreation day for old and young. The chief feature is usually a proces- sion of the business and institutional life of the county. It is a day set apart in Barnes County in honor of education and ‘is the largest assembly in Barnes County throughout the year, In-this and all other phases of her work she has shown statesmanlike ability in securing the cooperation and enthusiastic support of all classes of people in behalf of education. In the larger work of the State she has always been an active participant —a consistent member and attendant of the State Educational Association, and ever since its creation a member of the Association’s Executive Com- mittee. She has been a member of. the State Board of Education on appoint- ment of the Governor. She was for years on the Executive Board of the largest summer school in the Northwest. She has organized and conducted her own teachers’ institutes and officers’ conventions. She has hrought to the state for work in these meetings, some of the Nation's most expert ed- ucators. The educational awakening in Barnes County has attracted the at- tention of publicists and other educators throughout the country. Such has been the success of her work in her own county that she has frequently been called to other countries to ‘lead in the management ot teachers’ institutes and conferences, and to other states for addresses/at educational meetings. In all of her general work she is aggressive, yet tactful and constructive. But her activ! are not limited to the educational field alone. Her ability is recognized and utilized in behalf of the great woman's movement. From the first she has been actve in promoting club work but equally active in securing the help of women’s clubs in Barnes County in her educational work and propaganda. Among other ways, they have assisted in the estab- lishment ofa traveling art gallery and a traveling county victrola, For four years she was president of the Federated Clubs of the State—a position which has still further tested and proved her ability as a leader and constructive executive. She is also prominent in the national councils of the Women’s Federated Clubs and is frequently a contributor to their programs. When the Liberty Loan required a sure leader to secure the cooperation of the women of the state, her ability as an enthusiastic leader and efficient organizer singled her out at once and the national authorities placed her in control in North Dakota. The success of the women’s participation in these loans is further testimony to her ability to dispatch public affairs. Her train- ing as a teacher in rural and urban schools, as County Superintendent of Schools, as conductor of institutions, and as a leader ard admnistrator of public business, together with her broad knowledge of the needs of education in the State, all fit her admirably for the position of Superintendent of Public Instruction for which her fellow citizens are presenting her.
