Miss Whedon has returned

 Miss Whedon has returned from Institute work at Denver, Colorado.

 Progress of Miss Herey's Candidacy for State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

 Miss Sarah Whedon has recently returned from Denver, Colo., where she had charge of the English department in the Teachers' Institute conducted there this summer by Miss Emma Herey, county superintendent of schools.

 The convention at which the nomination of the state superintendent of schools will be made has not yet been called. Miss Whedon says that at the time she left great enthusiasm over the respective candidates on both sides prevailed. Miss Herey, who, as previously stated in the Argus is a candidate, is very popular and has many staunch friends who recognize her worth and ability, but the present superintendent may be re-elected, she having also enthusiastic friends and being only one year in office. The republican daily has spoken in favorable terms of Miss Herey and she has also many people on that side who think she is the right person for the nomination. Miss Whedon speaks in the highest terms of Miss Herey. The institute that she has conducted the past summer was one of the best examples possible that could be shown of the fine school work she is doing in Denver. The institute, Miss Whedon says, was not merely to cram teachers for the purpose of securing certificates, but the real educational and cultural aim was the chief result sought. The institute was conducted along original lines and was an ideal summer school. Miss Herey is one of the most progressive educators in the west and has the true methods and instincts of the ideal teacher. A brilliant future has been deservedly opened to her and even if she is not elected this time, it can be considered by her a great honor that her name has been brought up for nomination. Her term as county supertatendent has not yet expired and it is said that the salary of state superintendent is not much more than that of county superintendent.
