Superintendent- Elect Chilcott
Young man chosen to oversee the
work of county' s schools who is emi-
nently fitted and qualified for this im-
portant task, still another of our bril-
liant young educators who gives prom-
ise of a bright future.
The man whom the people of Jew-
ell County have called to the important
office of county superintendent is by
no means a stranger to those interested
in the advancement of our schools. His
vote last fall was a splendid endorse-
ment of his career as a Jewell County
teacher for the past ten years. They
knew him as a boy, as a student, and
finally as a teacher and hence their
confidence in him was unlimited. It is
safe to say that he will give a tone, a
character, and a zeal to that office
never known before in the history of
the county.
Born in Pennsylvania, yet he is es-
sentially a product of the environment
of Jewell County, having moved here
in 1879 with his parents. As a boy, he
attended Unity School on the comer of
his father' s farm. Later he attended the
Mankato High School and began his
most successful career as a teacher at
Rose Hill, Sinclair Township, where
he remained three years and could have
remained till now had not opportuni-
ties offered him positions where his
skill and Christian influence would
command greater monetary returns.
In 1891 he entered the Salina Nor-
mal University to fit himself the better
for his chosen profession. In 1895 he
began the regular four year Latin course
at the State Normal where after two
years' interruption, he graduated last
June. During these two years he had
charge of the Webber schools, a posi-
tion which he filled to the universal
satisfaction of the patrons. That his
work of an educator has been of the
highest order is attested by the una-
nimity of his support from those sec-
tions both in the convention and at the
polls. His endorsement, too, at Ran-
dall, where he was chosen principle

attacks resulted in extensive death and
destruction, triggering major U.S. ini-
tiatives to combat terrorism and defin-
ing the presidency of George W. Bush.
More than 3,000 people were killed
during the attacks in New York City
and Washington, D.C., includingmore
than 300 police officers and firefighters.
The 2,977 confirmed victims of
September 11,2001 included innocent
victims from more than 90 countries.
The youngest victim was two-year-old
Christie Hanson. The oldest victim wa3
85-year-old Robert Grant Norton.
3,251 children lost a parent on that day.
All of the innocent victims were

elling to see friends and family...going
on vacation....or trying to protect lives
and property.
We will never forget the men,
women and children who lost their
lives; those brave people who gave
their lives and the heroes who re-
sponded to the emergency.
Mankato VFW Auxiliary has asked
area residents to pause and remember
all of the people affected by the events
that took place 15 years ago, Septem-
ber 11,2001.
