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 Is our interest In the cause Of Edu.
cation beyond the limits Of our own county, and
for the 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 DO committed
| the interest Of our Public Schools for the next
four years. 1t Ii Of the very highest Importance
that the gentleman invested with this important
position should be equal to Its great responsible.

| ments, high order Of mind, large experience In
practical education; should be familiar with the

values; should DO in the possession ofindomit.
able energy, Of zeal and enthusiasm; and whose
habits and tastes should be such az 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 the Hon. John A. Collins, who has been,
with the exception Of an interim Of about eigh.
teen months, az the head Of the Storey County
| Public School Department since Its organization.
| we have a gentleman possessing these qualifica'
lions In a p~re.emlnent degree. With his genius
for organizing, his faculty for rapid execution.
| we feel confident that Colonel Collins at the head
ofour Public School Department, would 30 press
the LAIMs Of Education upon the public mind AZ
| to awaken therein. at an carly day, fresh enthu'
| siasm, and inspire II with new energy, efficiency
and attractlyeness. This will elevate the char.
| acter Of our population, and make our State a
| more desirable place of residence for those fami.
lies who will not reside where educational facili.'
tics are, essentially, deficient. Many OF us AZ
School Directors and School Teachers-by long

| cellent condition and great efficiency speak for
| Colonel Collins educational skill more eloquently
than any words that we can employ. Such
ability, energy and enthusiasm should have Il
| wider field for labor than q single county. In
| relinquIshing Colonel Collins ~ County School
| Superintendent for this advanced position, VIC
think Storey county can offer no higher evidence
Of its ~eevotion to the educational interests Of the
State.
In the Eastern States It IL now usual for the
State Educational Conventions, when q vacancy
| for Superintendent of Public Instruction occurs.
to designate the proper person for that office, and
| the person thus designated Is usually elected to
| that position, We feel confident that II O Con
| vention Of School Officers, Teachers, and friends
| Of Public Schools were assembled, Colonel Col
Inns would be almost unanimously named for the
| important position Of State Superintendent Of
| Public Instruction, and we earnestly ask Of you
TO adopt such measures As will secure his nomina-
tion TO that office.
Very respectfully, yours.
