ing the canse Of education sener-
I ally throughout the Territory.
The law reduiues that the COM
missi0nsr furnish Information re-
garding other than district schools.
IL Is necessary, Therefore, that the
superintendeuts do their utmost TO
hunt out every school other than
district schools within his superin-
/ tendency, and report the same TO
the commissioner, giving the name
and postofiice address OF principal,
also whether such school be denOmi-
national or not. 1 sent out blanks
Tor this purpose this spring, and the
county superiDtendents generally
n once supplied the necessary in
formation. Here AMI there, however,
a Superintendent had a lack ofiuter-
st generally in the subject Of edUca-
ton, aud made only imperfect re-
ports. There are schools in various
cities and tOwns,an int country,
which are not connected with any
church. These should he reported
also. Ii Is very difficult task for
the commissioner 70 obtain the
necessary information from church
officials or ministers. Some
OF them are very willing, hut
others seem careless and Indifferent.
The last biennial report Of the COM
missioner viii show how imperfect
were the dates a. 10 the denOmiua-
tional schools, and IL showed tie
great need Of the commissioner not
depending for information entirely
upon church official or ministers.
1 hope, therefore, that every super
intendenJ viii make Il his business
during the year 10 learn the neces-
saTY facts in reEHrl, TO every private
school, whetheE the same be de-
n0minational or not
IL IL desirable that each OF you
acknowledge sleTeceipt u all blanks
ami other documents that you may
receive FROM the, commissioner.

whether you receive them or not.

ter j. very ia-ge, the allotment is
divided in lw9 % more packages.
IL the number and kind Of blanks
received be stated. the commission
er viii know whether what was sent Z
was received of not. Immedi-
ately upon the discovery Of the
lack Of any bllniss, it will be a favor
to me il YOU wiliimmediateIy notify

kind Of blanks Btedgd. This should
never be delayej,as I am sometimes Z
