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 1t at the
present time " our interest In the cause OF E'u.
cation beyond the limits Of our own county, and
for the entire State. g.
In a short time. the people Of this state Will be
called upon to elect a State superintendent OF
Public Instruction, to whom will be committed
the interest of our Public Schools for the next
four wears. II IL Of the very highest Importance
that the gentleman invested with this Important
position should be equal to Its great responsloih'
ties; should be qualified by extensive attain
ments, high order Of mind. large experience IN
practical education; should BE- familiar WIN the
various systems Of instruction, Of their relative
values; should be in the possession OF indomlt'
able energy, of zeal and enthusiasIn; ana whose
habits and tastes should be such as to invest our
Public School system throughout the State Win
new life and 4 higher standard OF excellence, and
awaken on the part of the public confidence ana
hope on their behalf.
In the 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 n gentleman possessing these qualihca'
tons in a pre.eminent degree. With his genius
for organizing. his faculty for rapid execution,
we feel conf tent that Colonel Collins at the head
ofour Public School Department, would so press
the CLAIMS of Education upon the public mind as
10 awaken therein. at IN early day, fresh enthu'
slasm, and inspire II with new energy, etticiency
and attractivcness. 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.
ties are, essentially, deficient. Many of us. AS
School Directors and School Teachers-Oy long
and intimate relations In School duties-have
witnessed his constant devotion aud untiring
- ALL -I HtVW into nnnlA avn
our Storey County Schools. Their present ex-
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 n
wider field for labor than "A single county. In
r.linouishiug Colonel Collins Us County School
Superintendent for this advanced position, we
think Storey county can offer no higher evidence
Of its eevotion TO the educational interests Of the
State.
In the Eastern States II IL now usual for the
State Educational Conventions. when IA vacancy
for superintendent Of Public Instruction occurs,
20 designate the proper person tor that office, and
the person thus designated Is usually elected 10
that position. We feel confident that II a Con
v.ntion 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 .lsk of you
70 adopt such measures IN will secure his nominA-
ton TO tina, Office.
Very respectfully. yours.
