Petesch. dNMMpi CANDIDATES POR FOUR OPPICE0 TO ftE NOMINATED attached to any public work must ex­ pect criticism, but this ghould pot dampen their spirit. It should be the means of spurring them on to greater activity. He next turned his listeners' attention to the work with which he is connected and in which every man, woman and child should be deeply in­ terested, that of school work. He spoke of the rigid examinations which every teacher in the state must pass to place themselves . on the eligible list. He made perfectly clear to-everyone present the utter importance of the rural school of today, showing how the products of those schools are fast fill­ ing the high schools of the state and how in a few more years every high school in McHenry county would be far too sin all to accommodate those wishing to enter. This very condi­ tion, he explained, now confronts the city of Harvard. McHenry, he added, will be placed in the same position be­ fore another year or two have elapsed. In this the speaker was not well posted as ou|' high school is now overtaxed and will be unable to care' for the pupils who wfil wish to enter with the beginning of next September. He very much encouraged the establish­ ment of a township high school aud vividly set .forth the great good that could be accomplished in the estab­ lishment of such an institution. It would not only be the means of bring­ ing the residents of the village and rural districts in closer touch with each other, but would be a decided benefit to every child for miles around. The Plaijndealer will have more to say regarding the township high school in future issues. We would like very much to give Mr. Shelton's Bpeech in its entirety, but space will not allow such. Will venture to say, however, that no one who heard him is sorry fbr turning out and all feel that they have gained excellent knowledge concerning the working of a giant school system as that which has been inaugurated and is now in commission in this grand old state of ours. At the close of Mr. Shelton's speech the chairman called upon vnious ones present to express their Views on the things that came np for discussion. Just to add Mittle bit of humor to the meeting, Simon StoiTel and T. J. Walsh were once more called upon for re­ marks and everyone who has attended a meeting of the club knows what that meant. Before the meeting was adjourned it was decided to hold t he next and last meeting of the winter season on Tues­ day evening, April 7. Full line of household rubber goods. Petesch. V1. get it at a Small TOWN CAUCUS / The annual town caucus for the town of McHenry will be held at the village hall on Saturday afternoon of next week, March 21, at which time candi­ dates for four officers will be placed into nomination. The offices that become vacant this year are those of town clerk, assessor, collector and one highway commission­ er. Up to this time there isn't the slight­ est evidence of a fight being waged at the caucus. Charles B. Harmsen, who is the present town clerk, has an­ nounced his willingness to again be­ come a candidate for this office. Thui far he is without opposition. For assessor, John W. Kimball, now in office, is ready to make another run for the job. No one else has signified his intention of going after this office. The same applies to the offiees of collector and highway commissioner. The former office is now held by John Niesen and he is again out after the plum. John Boyle, whose term of highway commissioner expires, is again an aspirant for the office. He has proven himself a faithful and efficient public servant and we doubt if he will have any opposition. While "this is the present outlook there may be several candidates for each office by the time that caucus day rolls around. In past years there has always been a fight on for the office of collectori at-least, and it would not surprise us in the least if one or more candidates would come up before the tickets are printed on the day previous to the caucus. As has been the Custom in this town­ ship for some years past, the^tlckets for the caucus will be printed and paid for by the candidates whose names ap­ pear thereon. As the tickets are print­ ed the afternoon preceding the caucus everyone who wishes his or her name to appear thereon should make their wants known at The Plaindealer office no later than Friday noon, March 20. This will be the first time in the his­ tory of McHenry township that the women will be given an opportunity to vote and everyone Is anxious to learn just how much interest will be displayed by^the fair sex who have reached the age of twenty-one.
