the Senate Committee Of Education. We
spread before our readers u few facts en-
braced in the report-which is exceeding.
ly brief. II refers to the reports Of the
County Superintendents, some of whom
have not been very prompt or correct in
making their returns. l, speaks as fol-
lows in regard to the report Of the Super
intendent of Storey county, which no
doub. will make the little man of the
Quarto go into spasms:

We could extend these comparisons in
definitely, but we have furnished enough

our Public Schools; and i, should stimu-
late us to labor earnestly to bring them up

cessity to all classes.
We may have occasion to refer to this
subject again.
