Report OF School &c Commissioner.

Hon: L. Roy D. B own, state COM
missioner f common schools, filed his
annual report ~i'h the Governor Dec.
30. On the suhjtc, Cf county schools
he says that with the exception ,f the
compare lively few township die. icls in
which superintenden's or principals are
employed, the condition OF the schools
in these district is far from being salts
actory. He attributes this to the pres
ept school law under wi ich be says no
township boad tf educa,ion has SUI
ici Mt suthoriiy to enforce the rules and
regulatiois for the government Of the
schools under their control. which they
have sworn TO prescribe. He says the
same NAV be Truly said OF courses OF
study, and he says further: 1T is not
strange therefore, that these boards in 9
large mai ,ri,y of cases have entirely neg
!. cted to prescribe rules or establish
cou ses,f study. The law should he
SO modified aud improved as 10 define
clearly the relations existing among
teachers, directors in sub districts and
low. ship boards OF education. X spon.
s,hi' ,ty in school management should
be Fixed somewhere.
On the subj Ct OF special districts be
says there is no longer any reason for
their existence. He holds that all the
schools in any township should be con-
troled ny a single Loard Of education
p.s.,ssing Sufficient authority to secure
uniformity in rules and regulations,
sourses of study, Textbooks and school
management. The commissioner is o
| strong advocate of township board and
township super, ision, and expresses bis
views on the su' G, at lergth. :
He ea,s the city schools sre The bes'
schools in The s'a'e, which is mainly du,
TO their efficient supervision. He il
greatly in favor, FIR the same reason, OF
boards OF educs,ion small in number:
and elected at q general eltc ION insteso
If by war.le, and thinks that three mem
hers in board is sufiicient in city q
less. than thirty thousand inhabitants
He Is also in favor OF state board q
education, wi b authority to decide wha
is a high school, a normal school, CO.
lepe or a university. He cOmmends th'
institutions Of learning in the state anG
ssys that 0 10 State university is on q
better footing than the other two.
He thinks there should be hxeC

TIE speech OF Senator BFcK in the
Senate week before last is interpreted by
the Republican press as an attack upon
the administration. But 1t was nothing
OF the kind. The Senator found that he
was unable to agree with the President
and his officials on the currency and
roinage questions. and he proceeded re-
spec,iully and plainly to state the reasons
why be could not agree, and to point out
q remedy which he recommended a. Q
substitute for the policy proposed II
was in no sense personal attack on the
administration. He expressly said thai
upon oil questions, except that OF silver
and the payment Of the pubic debt, be
heartily agreed with the President. whom
be complimented by saying. that "no

COMMENTS ON VARIOUS TOPICS.

IT is apparent that the financial policy
proposed bv the administration is not 10
harmony with the views OF decided
majority OF the Democratic party. This
Is 10 be regretted, not onIv because the
policy is wrong, but also for the reason
hat the criticism which is very likel, to
he made by Democrats IN and out OF
Congress is apt to be construed ss an
attack on the administration.
But sound, honest criticism ought not
to be 90 construed. Freedom OF speech
is right guaranteed to every citizen.
and Democ-at has just as much right
to differ with the present administration
on matter Of policy as any body else
In fact. the Democrats have always dis
PLAYED greater independence 10 this re-
gard than have members of any other
party. 1t is part Of their training, and
no one will better appreciate the exercise
Of the right OF fair, legitimate criticism
in members OF his own party than will

The Terrell Times, perceiving a strong
popular citrrent running in favor of Prof
Collier for superintendent of public
instruction, goes out of It's way TO attack
him in its editorial department. The
editorial charges that Mr. Collier is "an
open opponent OF the State university
and so expressed himself in Galveston
News interview, aud that therefore eve
must expect him, If elected, to make war
on the university" Now had the Times
been unbiased aud DESTROYS of dong the
fair thing it would have published MIR.
Golfers interview and not msrepre-
Seuted him by mlsstating its con
tents. The Times further saws
MIR. Collier is an old teacher.
dominated by old ideas, and, being asso-
clated with private school, looks with
disfayor on the efforts OF the state at high
or education For these reasons the
Times thinks Mr.. Collier is not tit to be
at the head of the public schools Of the
state. "No man interested in building
up a private SCHOOL," is ilt to be in
charge of the public schools, concludes
our Terrell contemporary. The Times
is coaching Terrell candidate, aud pos
| sibly thinks the best way to advance It's
claimant Is to misrcpresent opponents
1t is certain that Mr.. Golfers friends
for he himself is not asking an election,
IN his case it Is the Office seeking the man
arc nos going to engage in war of
mud-slinging. lie will stand or fail on
his own merits, and his opponents will
be treated as gentlemen
AS to Mr.. Golfers position towards
the University, he has been it's earnest
advocate always, as the capstone to an
educational system beginning with the
public schools and advancing through
the nigh school, academic, COLLEGIATE,
law, medicine, etc He helped to formu-
late the bill inauguratina the uniyers.
ity lie has done everything In his
power To make it n success His in
terview alluded TO In the News was a
criticism urging that the Institution be
made u state university indeed. not a
nigh school for the people OF Austin
and sinecure for a score of hIpb.
priced professors.
At to qualifications Mr.. Collier ia nm OLD
teacher, knowing all the old methods II
is true, but he is not mossback who
never advances He is thoroughly pos,ed
on the management and methods of the
public schools in this country and Europe.
lie brings all that is good la old methods
to what Is approved IN the new, and is
thus exc ptionally equipped for managing
our public schools.
Mr. Collier is interested In building nm
private school, therefore, reasons the
the Times, he Will, II put at the head Of
public education, prostitute his oAlce To
pull down the school system OF the state
In order to build up his private school
The Times Is badly run for an argument
when II descends TO this kind of stuff
The insinuation implied needs no answer
TO honorable men. There is one fact
though, that may be stated here: Prof
Collier has turned out more teachers for
the public common schools than any
other educator ia Texas, not exceptjnS
the normal professor at Huntsville.
