DR.. VIM. Bishop, OfSalina, who has
been q resident Of Kansas twenty
three years, and prominent eduea-

Many Of the Kansas papers are zeal
ously advocating the nomination Of
Prof VIM. Bishop as a candidate for
the Ofiice Of Superintendent Of Public
Instruction OF that State. DR.. Bishop
served for two years as Instructor in
Greek in this institution. He was
next called to a prOfessOrship in Han
over College, Indiana. Latterly he
has been identified with the public
school interests Of Kansas, manifest
jng much executive ability. His en-
dowments and training give him a
liberal and at the same time practical
view Of all educational affairs. Illi-
nois College furnished Illinois her
most distinguished Superintendent of
Public Instruction In the person Of
Hon. Newton BatemRn. May she do
the same for Kansas in the person Of
DIR. VIM. Bishop.
