Governor Porter has appointed J. B.
Killebrew Commissioner Of Agr!cuIt uro
statistics and Mines, and Leon Trous-
dale Superintendent of Public Schools
Every one who has read "KIIIebrew' >
Resources of Tennessee must be sat-
isfied that Col. KilIebrew is the man for
the place, MIR. Trousdale is well known
here, but as to his qualifications for the
position to which Gov Porter has as
signed him, we know nothing persona :
", If he is a practical school man and
his attainments come within the pur>
view of the law creating his Office, WE
at least know nothing of lis reputation
in that regard The new Superinten-
dent will have fine field for the exer-
else of whatever school abilities he pos
sesses, and if he succeeds under the
circumstances, he viii be entitled to all
the more credit, in rs much as the school
fund is insufficient to properly sustain q
system as it should be, and the law, as
construed by his predecessor, serves the
purpose of gripping the private schools
Of the country, without being able to
build up popular public system. and
as consequence four>ffths Of the peo>
pie regard the system, as it stands, a
failure and an absolute detriment to the
progress of education.

say that he is now attracting more of
the attention of the public mind than
