jquaintance in the district and
I since his admission to the prac

ia partnership with Hon. Sam A.

LAMBERT A CANDIDATE.
Prof. H. L. Lambert, principal
of the Swifton High School and
one of the most capable, ener
getic and porgressive young edu
cators of this section of Arkan
sas, has announced his candida
cy for school superintendent of
Jackson county and it is proba
ble that he will have no opposi
tion for the position.
Mr. Lambert has been teach
ing twelve years and holds a
first grade state license under
George B. Cook, our present
state superintendent of public
instruction. Mr. Lambert be
lieves that the county superin
tendent’s office should be in
Newport and if elected he ex
pects to move to this city and
make it his home, from which
all parts and schools of the
county are more accessible than
from any outside point.
Mr. Lambert has taught or
served as principal of schools at
Weldon, Grubbs and Swifton
and the people of these sections
know that his professional work
has been highly successful. He
is a natural teacher and along
with this native ability, he has
had that study and training in
the best school methods to make
him a very useful head of our
county school system.
The Independent feels that it
cannot endorse him too highly,
I
for he has all the elements for
splendid service in the better
ment of our county schools,
In character, he is clean and
conscientious, a man of convic
jtions and courage. He knows
how to deal with business as
I well as school problems and his
preparation for ami devotion to
his professional work cannot
help but make its impress upon
the schools of this county.
