Miss Florence The entrance of | Burlingame in the race for county | auperintendent of schools gives the} people of Itasca county an opportun- ity to place a thoroughly competent educator at the head of their school | system. i Since the office of school superin- | tendent has been taken out of poli- | tics by making it non-partisan, the question that the voters have before them is the capability of the person to whom they will entrust the di- rection of their schools for the next two years. Miss Burlingame com~ Bines with a highly educated mind | a comprehensive grasp on the edu- eational] problems of northern Min- | nesota, gained through her many | years of instruction in its schools, 4 | spotless reputation and a zeal for | the advancement and ebtterment of | the school system throughout the country. | Educated in the rural schools of | the state she has been con-| mected with them, as pupil | and teacher, for over fifteen | years. The conditions, limitations | and possibilities of the school system | of northern Minnesota are familier | to her as they can only be to one who is devoting their life work to} the ideals of higher education for | the coming citizens of the state. In making their choice for county superintendent the citizens of the eounty should decide the question aoclely on the merits of the candidate | and place that one in office who can serve the schools the best and bring the largest measure of knowledeg to bear on the questions that must be | deGided in order that the schools shall come up to the proper standard sf educational It is an issue that should be decided strict- ly on the question of adequate ser- | vice in return for the salary paid, | taking into consideration the interests | of all the people of Itasca county and of ajl their schools. ieee eee | In honor of the 50th anniversary of | the outbreak and overcoming of the Sioux in 1286, The Fairfax Standard appeared last week in a 32-page ed- ition, which contained a wealth of interesting reading on the battle of Fort Ridgley and the pioneers of the days of Indian warfare.

I may add that I consider those years of eountry school teaching as the most yaluable part of my training. In 3896 I graduated from the state Nor- mal schoo] at St. Cloud, and in 1900 from the New York University. I ‘Bold an advanced Normal school di- ploma, which constitutes a life teachers certificate, the degree of Master of Pedagogy from the Uni- versity, and a state Professional cer- tificate of te first grade. Since Jan- uary 1, 1901 I have taught almost continuously in the public schools of northern Minnesota, and for the last six years at Grand Rapids. I am now seeking the office of county superintendent because I believe I whould find in it a wider field of activity and a means of identifying myself still more closely with the people among whom I have made my home; because having become @ prop erty owner and a permanent resi- dent of the county, I am more than ever interested in anything that makes for the welfare and healthful development of the county; and be- cause I believe that with my varied training and experience I could’ do much to help the schools, especially the rural schools, to play their part in thes development. Upon these grounds alone. training, experience, and professional attitude toward the work, I base any claims I may have to your consideration. Respectfully yours, FLORENCE BURLINGAME.

Stanton of Bemidji are en- deavoring to induce him to consent to his candidacy for chief justice of the supreme court in opposition to Justice C. M. Start. If the Bemidji the placing of his name on the non- partisan ballot will be circulated. In view of the fact that Judge Stanton has consistently refused to be considered in the light of a can- didate this year he will probably block the movement, but its very ex- istance is a tribute of magnitude. Judge Stanton has made an excellent record on the bench in the Fifteenth district. He has a wide acquaintance Itasca and Koo chiching counties, His interests are wholly in and for Northern Minnesota, and he through the state and has personal popularity exceeded by that of few men, eteteeeatentetetioiattete Selene Itasca Store News Special Offerings of Goods Needed for the Opening of School Low Priced Shoe.
