Bio

Paris Express, Thursday, March 11, 1937 TEACHERS BIOGRAPHY Mr. J. N. Johnson, teacher of History and Introduction to Business in the local high school, was born at Delaware, Arkansas, a very small town. He lived on a farm through his childhood, and attended grammar in the rural schools. John W. Silas was his first teacher. Mr. Johnson was always very ambitious in his early school years. He attended high school at State Teachers College at Conway in the departments there. In high school he belonged to several clubs: the Historical Society, Glee Club, Band, and the Old Owl Society which later became known as a great fraternity known as Kappa Phi Sigma. He took the regular courses in high school. His "A" subjects were History, Science and Elementary Education. He received no diploma in high school since he was passed on into college work by passing an intelligence test where he finished his education. Mr. Johnson had four years of college work at State Teachers. He majored in Education and minored in Science and History. His "A" subjects in college were Science and History. His clubs were the same as those in high school. In 1927 he received his B. A. degree. At the time he was graduated from college he was the second oldest man to have been graduated from that college. [He was 44 years old.] In grammar school a man made a talk that influenced Mr. Johnson in choosing his career because he wanted to make something out of himself. He has been teaching school for twenty-nine years beginning in 1906. He first taught school at Short Mountain school house several miles west of town. All but seven years of his twenty-nine years have been taught in Logan county. During his vacation Mr. Johnson did nothing but work on the farm. He worked a part of his way through college by working on the State Teachers College farm and he was also principal of a student teachers school. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Johnson who are Scotch-Irish. There were seven children in the family. Mr. Johnson, being the oldest, taught all his brothers and sisters but one in school. His parents are still living on the old home place at Delaware. His family was a hard working one and proud of the fact. There are ten students in high school whose parents have gone to school to Mr. Johnson. At the close of this school year he will have ridden 32,800 miles on the bus to school.
