Phone 79 -J A. N. MELTON ASKS ANOTHER TERM AS SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT The choice made bj the voters ih the s^ljpction of the county superin­ tendent at this November election must necessarily aff*>ct directly the progress.of theaehoo)s of our county. The educational importance of this office is evinced by the enrollment of 6,500 pupils annually and the employ­ ment of 300 teachers in the 132 school districts of this county. The aggre gate cost of maintaining these schools approximates $260,000.00. The vouch ers issued in the expenditure of thi. money is audited in the office of the county superintendent each year. A. M. Shelton, the present county superintendent, candidate for re-elee- tion on the Republican ticket, has held this office one term of four years to the eminent satisfaction of the teachers and patronsof ths schools. He hasdevot- ed his entire time and attention to thr advancement of the schools, and the boyi and girls in McHenry county are to br congratulated upon thejimproved schoo) opportunities. Among the more not able improvements brought thru hif efforts are as follows: A uniform system of text books, re ducing the cost of education to the parents and increasing the efficiency of the schools to the pupils. A uniform course of study fop all schools, outlipiqg the work of the adopted books month by month. Up­ on this outline is based all question* for examination from his office. Forty-one^chools have received the O. K. of the state's superintendent, thereby giving excellent rating to our Gounty thruout the state and securing the best physical conditions for our local pupilq. Introduction of training classes for young teachers, whereby all beginning teachers are instructed in school or­ ganization six months before starting to teach and again during their first six months of actual teaching. Recognition of the practical value of spelling thru the organization of spell­ ing contests in the local schools and townships, from which are chosen del­ egates to the county spelling match each year. Provided supplementary reading from the proceeds of the township exercises held each spring. Many of the pupils now read six books during their first year in school. Mr. Shelton wss raised on a farm and understands farming conditions. His sympathy with rural life has been demonstrated by his activities for both the interest of the boys and girls of the farm and of the dairy farmer. He attended the rural schools and later graduated from a local high school. After completing the method work of oi*r state normal he entered the Uni­ versity of Illinois at Champaign, where he was graduated in 1003. A state cer­ tificate was granted him after he suc­ cessfully passed an ^examination in twenty-one subjects. As a teadher in rural and village schools, as superin­ tendent of the Crystal Lake schools for eight years and county superin­ tendent for four years he has a valu­ able fund of school experiences. The above record would seem suffi­ cient for him to lay claim to the office he now holds upon a qualification that makes him the head of the schools of our county, not only legally but also educationally. Mr. Shelton has the respect and con­ fidence of our teachers and patrons and he has received considerable rec­ ognition throughout the state. He has served on important educational committees of the state organizations and has contributed to the leading educational magazines. He has spoken before teachers' meetings in many counties and has recently been ap­ pointed one of the examiners to prepare questions and grade papers of candi­ dates for certificates under the new law. The recognition from State Superintendent Blair is both deserving and commendatory. Aside froqi the valuable co-operation in our county educational system, Mr. Shelton is able to give material aid to our gradu­ ates and teachers when they leave the county for better positions. We pre­ dict Mr. Shelton's return to this im­ portant office and The Plaindealer takes pleasure in indorsing his candi­ dacy.

TERRA COTTA WORKMAN HAS UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE HERE SATURDAY NIGHT John Moraviez, who first came to this vicinity last spring as an employe of the gas company, met with an ex­ perience here last Saturday night which made him a poorer, but wiser man. It seems that the foreigner came to McHenry from Crystal Lake, where he has been making his home since his employment in the Terra Cotta fac­ tory. While here he visited one or more of our thirst emporiums and not having made arrangements for the night's lodging he accepted the seem ingly kind hospitality of Pete Meyers to spend the night with him. Upon arising from the night's slum bers Moraviez discovered that he was short several dollars which he was able to account for the night previous. He immediately accused "Neider- meyer," as he is more commonly known about town, of having robbed him of the money. Among the miss­ ing money was a ten dollar bill and in order to shield the accused from pub­ licity and trouble the foreigner offered to give Meyers a certain portion of the money if he would return the balance. Meyers, it is alleged, refused the prop­ osition aod while denying his guilt be it is said, returned to the kvictim' laborer four dollars and some change. Not satisfied with this the laborer had a warrant sworn out for the arrest of Meyers and when hauled into court on Monday morning the evidence was sufficiently strong against the accused to warrant Police Magistrate J. W. Kimball to turn him over to the grand jury for further investigation, the court placing his bonds at $500. Be­ ing unable to furnish the bond, Sheriff Henderson of Woodstock was notified, who, in company with Circuit Clerk Theo. Hamer, came over from the county seat and took the prisoner to Woodstock, where he is now confined in the county jail to await the action of the grand jury.
