interest In the educational future Of this young
State, and our only apology for sending 1t at the
present time Is our interest In the cause Of Edu.

for the entire State.
In "a short time, the people OF this State VIII 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 years. 1t Is Of the very highest Importance
that the gentleman invested with this important

ments, high order Of mind, large experience In
practical education; should be fapillar 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 m 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,

teen months, ut the head Of the Storey County
| Public School Department since Its organization,
we have a gentleman possessing these qualiica'
tions In q pre.emlnent 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 10 press

than any words that we can employ. Such

think Storey county can offer no higher evidence
Of It's ~eevotion to the educational interests Of the
State.

the person thus designated Is usually elected to
that position. We feel confident that II q Con.

important position Of State Superintendent Of
Public Instruction, and we earnestly ask Of you
