Prof. E.A. Retan Elected
County Superintendent of Schools by a Majority of Ten Votes Yesterday
 
Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the School Directors of Tioga county was held at the courthouse, in Wellsboro, for the purpose of electing a County Superintendent of Schools to succeed Prof. W.R. Longstreet, of Mansfield, whose term is about to expire, and who was a candidate for re-election. Prof. E.A. Retan, of Mansfield, was the other candidate for the office.
 
The meeting convened at two o'clock, the roll call showing 210 of the 240 directors of the county in attendance.
 
Hon. Charles Tubbs of Osceola, President of the School Directors Association of Tioga county, was unanimously elected Chairman of the convention. He thanked the Directors for the honor in a few well-chosen words.
 
Messrs. S.A. Weeks, of Elkland, and L.E. Knapp, of Westfield, were elected Secretaries. Mr. E.J. Tuttle, of Delmar, in nominating Prof. W.R. Longstreet for the office, made a few remarks in favor of his choice of candidates, saying that Mr. Longstreet performed the duties of his office for several terms in a manner beyond criticism and that he considered him eminently fitted for further incumbency of that office.
 
Mr. J.E. Hazlett, of Nelson, in nominating Prof. E.A. Retan, said many things in favor of this experienced teacher, who is held in the highest esteem throughout the county, and who possesses all the qualifications for an efficient Superintendent. The remarks of both the speakers were greeted with tremulous applause.
 
The election resulted in a victory for Prof. Retan by a majority of 10 votes, he receiving 110 to 100 for Prof. Longstreet. Prof. Retan was cheered to the echo when the result of the election was announced. His salary was fixed at $2,000., which is the same as has been paid for the past few years.
 
Prof. Longstreet has done splendid work for the schools of Tioga county and there is no reason why the Superintendent-elect cannot uphold the high standard set by his predecessor, as Prof. Retan is particularly well qualified for the office. His many friends congratulate him.

County Superintendent Longstreet has held the office four full terms and some months over, not quite thirteen years. He was first appointed to succeed Prof. Henry E. Raesly, who resigned. Prof. Longstreet has had high ideals at to the public schools and he has devoted himself to the faithful discharge of duty and has seen the grade of the schools and educational methods in Tioga county steadily advance. He retires with the respect and good will of the whole people.
 
Edmund Arnell Retan, who will assume the duties of the office of County Superintendent June 1st, is forty-seven years of age. He was born in Jackson township, April 26, 1864. He is the son of W.A. Retan. His father died when Edmund was three weeks old. Edmund began very young to look out for himself. He was educated in the Elmira high school and the Mansfield Normal School. He has taught in the public schools of this county for thirty years. He was principal of the schools at Morris Run and Tioga and for the last nine years in Mansfield. He has been interested in farming also and for several years has been a partner in the hardware firm of Strait & Retan, in Mansfield. He is in every sense a self-made man, and that he has the confidence of the public is attested by the vote he received yesterday.
 
Mr. Retan married about twenty-five years ago Miss Rena D. Cole, of Adrian, Mich. They have two children.
