Teacher in Missouri 1925-1972. Popplewell taught in the area public schools and the St. Joseph Junior College. Gives critique of City: "St. Joseph during the long era of Rip Van Winkle was a closed Society the long dominane of the Democratic Party, in effect closed out any participation by Republicans. Many worthy citizen who could have contributed much to the betterment of local government, rarely made the effort. One--party government with the same old faces at County office windows, year after year, provided one of the sorriest cases of County Government in Missouri". 300 copies printed.
