shall be practical teacher; who shall
supervision, and shsil hold his o!fice
Tor three yssrs, and shall receive an
annual salary of $1,000. payable quar-
terly, from which he shalt deFray all
travelling and Incidental expenses.
4 We recommend that the six
district superintendent, with the sec
Rotary Of the State Board of Eiu-
cation, be constituted the board of
supervision for the State, with power
to prescribe regulations relating to tn
examination of teachers, the orgauiza-
ton, eradsuon and general msnsgr-
ment Of schools, not inconsistent wi
the law or the regulations of the State
| Board of Eiuclton. Sad board OF
supervision shall hold their meetings
at the capital, and msj0rity shall
constitute u quorum, but two-thIrds
vote OF the members present shall be
necessary to make or alter any reguls-
| ton.
s. The several district superintend-
ents shall appoint in each of the coun-
ties under their jurisdiction a school
examiner, who shall be q practical
teacher in good rePute, whose duty il
! shall be 10 examine all persons desir
| ing q certificate of competency to
teach, hold county institutes, perform
sll the duties relating to the public
| schools which have heretofore devolved
upon the county judge, and such other
duties as may be prescribed 10y the dis
trict superintendent.
Q. We recommend that the county
! treasurer be allowed one-half of one
per cent. for receiving and dIsbursing
the public school funds. We recon-
mend this plan of supervision for two
reasons: First, Because some form OF
| supervision is essential TO au 6fficient
system of public schools. In proof OF
this truth we beg leave to refer you Ia
the remarks made on this subject n
| the excellent report OF Hon. o n.
Hollingswotth, secretary of the Board
Of L lucauon, page 80. Second, b .-
cause this form Of supervision through
district superintendent, whose culIes
nearly correspond with those of State
superintendent IN smaller States and
county examiners in each county.
whose duues nearly coincide with
those OF county superintendent, COM
bines economy with the highest degree
of efficiency which we believe attaina
BILE a. present.
We invite your consideration of the
following comparison of the expense
Of the present plan and of the proposed
system of supervision. Under the pres

hand, partial supervision is extrava-

numbers as thst we have no ad, qustc

" authorized TO say SO, but l feel as
suTed, from what l do know, that the
able snd esteemed commander of the
United S.ates's forces in Texas,
Gen. Ord, will attest the fsct
that our frontier battalion has
been OF most essential service IL
aiding him with bis forces to give Us
protection and that it is stillnecessary.
The reasons Tor this are numerous, and
we'll known TO those who are at all ac-
| quaiuted with the subject.
Under these circumstances | respect

agent, with a conditional fee, 20 act

members of Congress, in the prosecu-
tion of this claim together with all our
other claims, before the Congress oi

Ard for our immediate and future
protection and sell-iefense, against
these public enemies within our own
State, I respectfully recomRend thai
law be passed. making it u felony for
these Indians and all those cc-3perat-
ing with them, or having them in
charge under pretense of hunting, to
come and be found within the limits
OF this State, with such heavy penal
ties as will probably keep them out Of ii
in the future. with the addition of a
pu lie declaration, justified by expert
ence OF many years, that these Indians
are public enemies Of the Texas pe0-
Pile, whenever they are fould within
the limits of the State. We have DO
| right 10 make treaties with them, and
they would not observe them if we
had. They are not citizens of the
United States, nor are they CITIZENS
of foreign nations, st peace with the
United States; and if the State should
prohibit their coming within its limits,
the United States would not. as it i,
presumed, claim any right to protect
them within this State. Such dec.
laratiOn would not be, nor be designed
10 be declaration of war, as it is de-
MED to the States by the Constitution
of the United States, but fixing by
law of the status of these wild savazes
when found within this S ate, witt
reference to our own citizens accord
ing to the existing fact, evidenced by
their barbarities and p.under for aget
past, as well as now.

dered, had not the policy of Throck-
morton saved this pitiful remnant by
. timely loan to railroads of $4,000 per
mile to all roads constructed in Texas
pflor to the war. This much has been SO
far saved, but how long it may remain
in safety is not told. II may again
pass into the hands of the State and
may then go just as did the $4,000, :
900. To show that this very PROPOSE
tion Is true, what is known as the su-
gar road, from Houston to Columbia, on
the Brszos, owed the State in 1878
$500. 900 Of tins very borrowed money.
The road went down and
was sold by the State at a great sacri-
fee, leaving the State indebted to the
still sacred" school fund about 1915, :
600. II only remained for the Legis-
lAture to declare this ''debt of
doubtful validity" no debt at all, and
again the sacred" school fund, without
any mercy, was robbed of a vast sum OF
money. Truly We may denominate
such conduct robbery, and history
In these instances will certainly be re-
peated. The opportunity is all that is

"rHE SACRED 50 HoOL FUND.

Senator Terrell addressed the Senate
Tuesday on the bill to provide for the
sale Of public school lands, and his
amendment, requiring valuation of
the school lands by the county COM
missioners' court before sales could be
made, on the approval of their yalua-
ton by the Governor. He argued that
the school lands would be sacrificed
unless some means were adopted to as
certain their true value. He was ap-
prehensive OF destruction of the fund
under any system which contemplated
a sale, and wanted checks which the
bill did not contain. His amendment
also required classification by the
commissioners courts into pasture and
arabic lands, and provided for an in
teIchange of titles between the State
aud tho holders of sections of pasture
land granted to corporations, so that
solid bodies might so be thrown to-
gether, and thus facilitate sales and in
crease values. 1t is proper enough that
Senator Terrell would see safeguards
thrown around the sale of these lands,
which it seems the Legislature will
provide for. The STATESMAN was
long ago most decided IN its express
sions upon this vital subject, long in
fact before Judge Roberts was dream
ed of as Governor of Texas, and years
before, as its chief executive, he rec
commended such sale. In spite of his
deliberate opinion and the support of
large body of Legislators we are con-
WINGED that the act alternating these
lands will be one of the sadest
pages of Texas history. This
bill directs that the money
arising therefrom shall be converted
into bonds and placed in the State
Treasury to yield a revenue for the
''sacred" school fund. How sacred
this fund has been kept, in such shape,
Is shown by the course of the State
government with the $40, 900 of
indemnity money paid to the State for
school purposes. This vast sum, in

the practice without e%ncountering certain

Matt Carpenter is doing it. You observe
