JUNIOR YEAR BOOK, Richard Selby. The subject of this sketch was born at an early period of his existence in Moultrie county, Illinois, on a farm near the borders of the Okaw, a branch of the Kaskaskia. His parents died when he was yet a mere child, but he remained on a farm with relatives until he was fourteen years old, when he entered the Livingston, Illinois, schools from which he graduated, being one of its first graduating class. His early education was further gained in the Indianapolis high school, Central Normal college and DePauw University. His career as a teacher began in 1885 and has been continuous except a year spent at the Illinois State Normal University from which institution he graduated with the class of 1902. In addition to the preparation for teaching already mentioned, Mr. Selby has taken special courses in biology, and school organization and management at the University of Illinois. In 1897 he was one of three successful applicants out of a class of 55, to receive a life state certificate. He occupied several important positions as principal of schools in Central Illinois, and from 1894 to 1900 was principal of the Manteno schools. In 1901, he was chosen superintendent of the Onarga, Illinois, schools by the unanimous vote of the board of education, was unanimously re-elected in 1902, and again in 1903; but was called to a wider field of labor, as superintendent of the Momence Union Schools by the unanimous vote of the Board of Education of that city. R. E. SELBY, Supt.
