CHARLES NEWTON CANADAY - The county of Carroll numbers among its citizens many skillful physicians, lawyers of state repute, well-known business men of much more than local reputation: while proud of them, she is not lacking in others who have achieved distinction in callings requiring intellectual abilities of a high order. Among the latter, Charles Newton Canaday, the present able and popular superintendent of county schools, occupies a deservedly conspicuous place. No one is more entitled to the thoughtful consideration of a free and enlightened people than he who shapes and directs the minds of the young, adds to the value of their intellectual treasures and moulds their characters. This is pre-eminently the mission of the faithful and conscientous teacher and to such noble work has the life of Mr. Canaday been devoted. In his record, there is much that is commendable and his career forcibly illustrates what a life of energy can accomplish when plans are wisely laid and actions are governed by right principles, noble aims and high ideas. His actions have always been the result of conscientious thought, and when once convinced that his is right, no suggestion of policy or personal profit can swerve him from the course he has decided upon, and he is one of the leading citizens of a great county widely noted for the high order of its professional talent.
Superintendent Canaday is a Hoosier by birth, having first seen the light of day in Henry county, Indiana, on March 11 1861, and he is the scion of a sterling old family, being the son of John C. and Mary Ann (Shockley) Canaday, both natives of the same county in which he was born, and there they grew to maturity, were educated and married and became well established and popular in their community. The paternal grandfather, Charles C. Canaday, was born in Tennessee and from there he migrated to Indiana in an early day and there married Jane Frazier.
Superintendent Canaday was eight years old when his parents brought him to Carroll county, Missouri, in 1869, the family locating on a farm in the northern part of Hill township, near the Livingston county line, where they lived for five years, then moved to a farm in Leslie township, near Bogard Mound.
The son grew to maturity on the home farm and assisted with the general duties about the place, the free outdoor life resulting in a vigorous constitution and a clear healthy mind. His early education was obtained in the district schools and later in the Chillicothe Normal and the State Normal at Warrensburg. He also took a special correspondence course in Washington University, and by these efforts he became exceptionally well equipped for his life work and obtained his state teacher's life certificate. For a period of twelve years he taught in the district schools, three years in the Carrollton public schools, nine years in the Norborne public schools and five years as principal of the high school and four years as superintendent of the school. Thus for a period of twenty-eight years he has been actively engaged in teaching, all in Carroll county with the exception of three years in Gentry county, one year of this time being spent in the Stanberry high school and the other two as superintendent of the public school at King City. At the end of the first three years of his teaching he entered the mercantile business, establishing a store just south of Bogard Mound. About a year later the town of Bogard was located and he moved his store to the townsite, and thus was the first person to sell goods in the town of Bogard. Selling his stock of goods a few months later to William Mathieson, he re-entered the teacher's profession.
Carroll County has never had a more popular or efficient educator than Professor Canaday, his services always being in great demand. Always a student, he has kept fully abreast of the times in everything pertaining to his profession and ranks high in the list of public instructors in northern Missouri. His popularity as a teacher was evidence by his large majority in the race of county superintendent of schools on April 4, 1911, and he has made a most commendable start in the affairs of this important office, his fidelity to the duties of the same indicating the judgement of the people in his selection. His classes he entertains and instructs at the same time. His style is direct and forceful, free from redundancy, his perception keen and his analysis acute. His work in every department of education is characteristically practical, and in teaching, superintending and in devising or modifying the courses of study he possesses to a remarkable degree the sense of proportion and fitness. Continous application through a long period of years has given him a clear and comprehensive insight into the philosophy of education and the largest wisdom as to method and means of attainment of ends, while his steady growth in public favor wherever he has labored, and his popularity with teachers, pupils and patrons has won for him an educational standing second to none in this section of the state. He possesses that rare quality of personal magnetism and tact which render him popular with the young, and by entering into their spirit and pastimes, sympathizing with them in their troubles, listening to and settling their disputes and making their interests his own, his work as teacher among them is rendered easy.
The domestic life of Superintendent Canaday began on July 22, 1891, when he was united in marriage with Anna Carolina Gum, a lady of talent and culture, the daughter of James Franklin and Almira (Somerville) Gum, a fine old Southern family who many years ago moved from Virginia to near Hale, Missouri, where they became well known and well established. This union has been graced by the birth of two children, Ernest Franklin Canaday, born May 5, 1893, and Emmett John Canaday, whose birth occurred on August 27, 1902.
He has been a member of the Baptist church for a number of years and an active worker in the various congregations among which he has lived. For eight years he was president of the Sunday School Convention for the Missouri Valley Baptist Association and as such rendered most efficient services. A man of honest, earnest purpose, he has always worked assiduously to instill into the minds of the youths under his charge wholesome principles of living and high ideals. He is everywhere regarded as a wide-awake, enterprising man of the times, fully alive to the dignities and responsibilities of citizen-ship. Affable and earily approached, he commands the undivided respect of all with whom he comes into contact, and his friends are numbered only by the bounds and limits of his acquaintance and his career has been eminently creditable to himself and an honor to the community and the state.
