that county. Until the last few years, she lived
on a farm.

She is a graduate of the State University
and has taught in the grade and high schools.
In 1905, she became a candidate for Superintendent
of Schools of Chase County. Her success
and her unusual ability as a teacher were
rewarded by a two to one majority on a close
county ticket. At the second term, she had no
opposition and out of 1214 votes cast, she
received all but 29. The present year, after
four elections, is her seventh continuous year
as Superintendent of Chase County. In addition
to her official duties, Miss Arnold has
written two text-books. Her ``Civics and
Citizenship'' in 1912 was adopted as the state
text-book on civil government for use in the
public schools of Kansas. It is being used by
a large number of womens' clubs. Many
outlines for club work on civic subjects have come
from Miss Arnold's pen. Her second textbook,
``A History of Kansas,'' the first book printed
under the new State Publication Law, has
also been adopted by the text-book commission.

Miss Arnold is considered one of the foremost
educational leaders of the state.
