TO the Editor OF tho Gazette.
1t can but be gratifying to the numer-
Gus friends OF Prof. John Collier to
watch the increasing favor with which his
name Is mentioned as the canvass for
state superintendent proceeds. A rep
resentatiye In the present Texas legisla-
tnre remarked 10 the writer recently, In
urging the name Of John Collier for super
lntendent that the character OF students
that he had turned out was argument un-
answerable OF his splendid educational
ability. He said that none Of them, so
far as he had been able TO discover, were
Inferior men or women. The recent
newspaper attack upon Prof Collier as
an opponent OF free schools aud unyer-
sity, based solely upon the fact that he
had a private school which state institu-
lions might antagonize and injure, was
boomerang, falling far In the rear OF the
point from which II was thrown. Taking
this same narrow view, we would CON
cludc that, being minister, his school Ia
UNCONVENTIONAL and sectarian, which, so
far from being true, Is entirely the re-
verse, as proved by the fact that at the
state association In 1883, long before his
name had been metioned for state super
intendent, he was chosen 10 answer the
late Dr., Crane, then perhaps the most
formidable champion Of UNCONVENTIONAL
education in this big state. This same
association promptly chose him for their
president at a time when a number OF
prominent men were named for the
position
Doubtless, to-day, one OF the most
serious embarrassments In the govern
ment OF Texas is her different aud varied
interests caused by her unnatural pro-
portions. This, the present boast Of
Texas, viii one day be it's bane-.''a pre-
dlction and not threat" This trouble
holds In no department Of the state
government with more embarrassing diill'
entities than that Of the public schools,
and so long as we have II 10 contend with

opportunities ofkuowiDg ourvarled wants.
To MI this requirement we venture TO
say that there Is not character in Texas

sessed by John Collier
This, with his splendid success ia
