ALBANY, May %, 1878.
TO ahe Editor ef che 0gegoniaa.
In your issue Of the 9th inst some uns
writing over The nom de plume Of ''yeritas, .
not content with hurling his shafts Of inysc-
tive against las he terms hinl the paid at
torney" of Bancroft & Co., tries to leave the
impression upon your readers that Hon. T.
]. Sites, the nominee for superintendent Of
Public instruction., was one Of the ones who
advocated the introduction Of the Pacific
Coast Series" into our public schools.
This insinuation was made either through
gross ignorance of the facts in the case or in.
tentionally, to place MIR Sites in a false pe-
sition in the eyesoi the people of the State.
The last Is the most natural conclusion, since
your correspondent claims to base all his in
formation on ''very reliable sources. In the
zeal he displays in sounding the praises OF
Prof. Powell, he evidently fOrgets the most
reliable sources OF information attainable, and
contents himself with hearsay evidence
alone
This indeed seems little strange-not to
say blatneworthy-in ono who pretenis to
feel such deep interest in the educational
affairs of the state. Why did not 'Ycritas'
consult the records of the superintendent e
public instruction at Salem before he entered
upon the discussion of subject of such inn
portance TO the people? Had he put himself
to that trouble, he would have found-his
reliable sources" TO the contrary notwith-
standing that at the same time the law WAS
passed introducing the Pacific Coast Series
into our schools, MIR, Sites was superinten-
dent Of Linn county; that the blank sent him
by tn superintendent of public obstruction
to be filed out with the series Of books ht
preferred and desired, nolrhsre made mention
of Pacific Coast Series, but Mr.. Sites lso
to speak, "vsted unanimously" against then
introduction and use. This is a matter OF
record, but ''Veritas," in his blind zeal or
gross ignorance, forgets the fact aud trusts
merely TO the information of others.
Again We state for the edifieatiOn Of ''Ver- |
itas, that Mr. Sites voted against the whole
Pacific Coast Series when the question came
before the superintendents OF several counties
As to the qualifications of Mr.. Sites for the
Office to which he has been nominated, we
have nothing to say--they speak for them
selves in palmer and more glowing terms than
we can command. The eininet success he
achieved as q principal and teacher, and the
satisfaction he gave the people OF
Linn county both as teacher and school SUI
perintsndent for many years are a sufficient
guarantee Of his ability 10 successfully man
age and promote the educational interests oi
the State.
In conclusion we would suggest to 'sVeri- |
tas" the propriety Of examining the records |
in future as being usually considered source
of reliable information in matters Of public in
terest

That mueh-talked-of excursion to Portland
comes off tomorrow, and viii no doubt be a
grand affair. There is much more comfort in
such an excursion as this will be than making
the round trip to Roseburg and back in one
day. Rem .mber that You viii have six hours
in Portland, and viii arrive at home by 9
o'clock in the evening. The fare has been
put down to 8 for the rOund trip, SO that all
can go. Don't bay tiekes and then fail to be
on hand promptly at $50 tomorrow morning.
That would be needless waste of money.
