AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
should the State Superintendent Of
Public Instruction be an Expe.
rienced Teacherl

IL seems strange that there could
exist any necessity for asking that
question, aud yet II Is undergoing dis.
cussion in Texas at this very time.
should the general of an army be an
experienced soldier? Should the
chief Justice of n court be an educated
lawyer? Should the chief medical
officer OF a brigade, division or CORPS
be highly skillful surgeon and phy
stefan? Should the foreman of N
printing Office be a well-trained
But why continue to ssk such illus
trative questions? No man OF int ELI.
gence can fail to answer each of them
IN the affirmative. To answer anyon,
IN the negative would, to say the least,
indicate very considerable obliquity OF
intellect.
What Is the practice in the different
states of the American Union?
The writer has taken the pains t.
inquire. He has heard from the edu
catioilal bureau at Washington, d. q.
and from the educational headquar
tiers OF every state except Delaware
| Maine, Minnesota, New Hamps. ire
North Carolina, Oregon, Virginia an,
West Virginia. The chief educational
officer Of the federal bureau, and O
each of the thirty states heard from
| except three, Is an experienced teacher
An examination of the reports of tn
various state superintendent show
that said officers have to advise and In

school buildings, the dimensions o
recitation rooms, lighting, heating
seating, ventilation, textbooks, appal

tails, familiarity with which can onl,
be- acquired by years of practical eX

CoLLINsvILLE, TEX, Aug. 15.-Our
grand Democratic rally and campaign
picnic that came Off to-day was the

tation of hearing speech from ex-
Gov. Hubbard brought many from
great distance. They were
lgrievously disappointed in not hear

giant speech from DE- Burton of Bios

dates, the excellent singing, bountiful
dinner aud the delightful music. dis
coursed by the Sherman Cornet band,
