State Superintendent Bryan Dies
Of Apoplexy.

State Superintendent of Schools,
R. B. Bryan was stricken with ap-
poplexy while working on his fruit
ranch near Wapato last Friday and
remained unconscious until his
death at North Yakima Monday,
which occurred at St. Elizabeth 8
Hospital.
Mr.. Bryan was practically the
founder of the educational system
of this state. He was it's first super
intendent of public instruction and
laid the foundation on which the
present educational structure is be-
ing erected. Much Of the legislation
on school matters originated with
him and his energy, executive abil-
ity and enthusiasm in his work have
shaped the course of teaching in
Washington. Save for a period OF
six years after his first term, he has
been at the head of the state work
in his department since Washington
was a terriory.
