ANNOUNCES FOR
COUNTY SURVEYOR
Through the medium of the col
umns of this paper I take the liberty j
to announce my candidacy for the of-'
fice of surveyor of Jackson county,
Arkansas. I sincerely trust that I j
may have the vote and support of the I
people of my home county, at the i
coming primary, and if elected I prom-1
ise to discharge the duties of this j
important office in an honorable
manner to the very best of my abil-!
ity.
I was reared in this county (as ev
ery voter knows) and have spent my ;
past life here, receiving my literary
training in the schools of the state. I j
was reared in the country and spent
eight years teaching in the public j
schools in the various parts of the j
county. I am now serving my second j
term as county superintendent of i
schools of this county, a position'
which I was indeed proud to be hon-1
ored with. While I realize that I j
have not reached perfection by any
means, through the co-operation of
teachers and patrons, in the advance
ment of education in Arkansas, Jack
son county has always been accredit
ed with doing her part. The follow
ing is a comparison of my first and i
last annual reports to the state su- |
perintendent of public instruction:
June 30, 1915—Length of school
term, 113 days; June 30, 1917, 1-10
days.
June 30, 1915—The first grade
teachers were of the total number
employed, 56 per cent; June 30, 1917,
70 per cent.
June 30, 1915— Average salary
paid to First grade teachers, $58.35;
June 30, 1917, $61.00.
June 30, 1917—Balance on hand (on
7 mill basis), $28,955.18; June 30,
1917, $43,068.21.
I am indeed proud of what I have
been able to contribute to the educa
tional welfare of our county and the
teaching profession shall always
have my highest admiration. I love
children and delight in discharging
the duties of teachers, but owing
to the financial support which is ne- j
cessary to support my family, it is
necessary for me to engage in other
business.
I hope to meet all the voters in
person but should I perchance miss
you, your vote and friendship will be j
highly appreciated the same as had
I been able to have given you a card
and shaken your hand.
E. H. Bowman.
