Wrth such a record rt rs not hard to belreve that at the rrpe old age of leadershrp of lrttle Iohnnre Smrth In fact rt was very unusual when Iohnnre was not frrst rn any contest At the country spellrng bees experrenced spellers were called rn to try to down hrm as a spellrng champron M Jw- -21426 U I f fl' thrrteen he passed a teachers exammatron whrch gave h1m the rrght to teach rn grade schools of that day Soon after a teacher resrgned rn a nearby school and lrttle Iohn Smrth at the age of thrrteen was hrred to teach at Soon Iohn saw the need of more trarrnng rf he were to serve the com munrty rn whrch he lrved and enrolled rn the Augusta Normal School Soon after graduatron at the age of seventeen he accepted a posrtron at Green Grove Ohro There hrs fame as a teacher spread and both chrldren and parents were rnsprred to seek hrgher educatron Nerghborrng communrtres heard of Iohn and the followmg year he was offered a posrtron rn New Harrrsburg at double hrs salary There the story was repeated Among those who beheved rn Iohn Smrth s teachrngs was a shy young lady who later became hrs wrfe and has been constantly at hrs srde durrng all these years In hrs quest for knowledge Iohn Smrth went to Chro Northern Unrversrty where he soon became outstandrng as a student and athlete As a debater few have equaled hrm there for clarrty of strength and eloquence of delrvery 4-ffl Whrle vrsrtrng rn Youngstown after graduatrng wrth honors from Ohro Northern Iohn had a burnrrrg desrre to enter other frelds law at Ada Whrle he dreamed of pleadrng cases before the Supreme Court and warted for the trarn he was suddenly awakened from hrs dreams by a call from the statron announcer that was destrned to change the whole course of hrs lrfe Trarns to Allrance Akron Mansfreld Ada two hours late At that very moment an acquarntance from the Churchrll Schools greeted hrm wrth the statement that he was the very man for whom they were lookrng to take charge of therr schools l Page Eight l 0 A W, . - .
