TO THE PUBLIC.

ME ADDRESS THIS CIRCULAR TO
w you, In the belief that you have an earnest
interest In the educational future Of this young
State. and our only apology for sending II at the
present time In our interest In the cause OF Edu.
cation beyond the limits Of our own county, and
for tho entire State.
In a short time, the people Of this State will be
called upon to elect q State Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, to whom will be committed
the Interest Of our Public Schools for the next
four years. 1t Is Of tho very highest Importance
that the gentleman invested with this important
position should be equal TO its great responsible
ties; should be qualified by extensive attain
ments, high order Of mind, large experience In
practical education; should DO familiar with the
various systems Of instruction, Of their relative
values; should be In the possession Of indomit'
able energy, Of zeal and enthusiasm; and whose
habits and tastes should be such as to invest our
Public School system throughout the State with
new life and q higher standard Of excellence, and
awaken on the part OF the public confidence and
hope on their behalf.
In tho Hon. John A. Collins. who has BEEN
with the exception OF an Interim OF about eigh'
teen months, at the head Of the Storey County
Public School Department since Its organization.
we have q gentleman possessing these qualiica'
tons In a pre- eminent degree. With his genius
for organizing, his faculty for rapid execution.
we feel confident that Colonel Collins at tine head
Of our Public School Department, would 30 press
the CLAIMS Of Education upon the public mind az
TO awaken therein. ut IN early day, fresh enthu-
slasm, and inspire II with new energy, efficiency
and attractiveness. This will elevate the char

cellent condition and great efficiency speak Tor
Colonel Collins educational skill more eloquently
than any words that we can employ. Such
ability, energy and enthusiasm should have a
wider field for labor than q single county. In
relinuuishing Colonel Collins as County School
SUPERINTENDENT for this advanced position, we
think Storey county can offer no higher evidences
Of its e~evotion TO the educational interests OF the
State.
In the Eastern States II Is now usual for the
State Educational Conventions. when a vacancy
for Superintendent Of Public Instruction occurs.
