POLITICAL NOTICES ETC.

WE 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 10 our interest In the cause OF Edu.
cation beyond the limits Of our own county and
In a abort lime, the people of this State will be
caIIed mon 10 elect q State Superintendent OF
pubIIc Instruction, to whom will be committed
the interest of our Public Schools for the next
four wears. 1t IL Of the very highest importance
that the gentleman invested with TINS important
| position should be equal to Its great responsioii'
Ties: should be qualified by extensive attain
ments, high order Of mind, large experience IN
practical education; should be familiar with the
various systems Of instruction, OF tneir reia'ive
values; should be In the possession OF indoHit
able energy, Of zeal and enthusiasm; ana whose
habits and tastes should DO sucn az ' ~
Public School system throughout the State with
new life and Q higher standard OF excellence, ana
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, at the head OF tho storey county
Public School Department since Its organization
we have a gentleman possessing these qualihca'
tons In a p%re.eminent degree. With his genius
for organizing, his faculty for rapid execution.
we feel confident that Colonel Collins at the head
Of our Public School Department, would 30 press
Tic CLAIMS OF EuuCatlOu upOu INC puOliS Llihu eo
to awaken therein. at an early day, fresh enthu.
sIasm, and inspire II with new energy, efficiency
and attractiveness. 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 fRcili.
ties are, essentially, deficient. Many Of us rs
School Directors and School Teachers-by long
and intimate relations In School duties-have
witnessed his constant devotion and untiring
labors to build up and bring into popular favor
our Storey County Schools. Their present ex'
cellent condition and great efficiency speak for
Colonel Collins educational skill more eloqucntly
| than any words that we can employ. Such
| ability, energy and enthusiasm should have a
| wider Geld for labor than q single county. In
reIinauishing Colonel Collins AZ 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 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 u Con
| yention 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 VIC earnestly ask OF you
10 adopt such measures a. will secure his nomina-
| tion to that office.
Very respectfully, yours.
