SCHOOLS.
We are justly proud of tie public
schools and State University of Ne
vada; we believe they should be fost-
cred and protected above all other in
situations, as upon them rests the per-
petulty of our Government and the
securities of our liberties. We are in
favor of such legislation as will in
crease the efficiency and raise the
standard of the public schools and
State University, until a thorough
education, without expense, is placed
within the reach OF every child in
Nevada.
We denounce in the strongest
terms the Constitutional amendment to
be submitted to the people at the en-
suing, election, providing for. the in
vestment of school moneys in other
securities than U. s. Government or
Nevada State bonds, and recommend
to the electors of this State that the
amendment referred to, which pro-
vides [among other thlngs] that our
school moneys may be invested in any
other bonds. than Nstional and Ne

feated, and our million OF schoyl mon
