Superintendent Cooper yesterday
wrote the following letter relative to
uniformity in text books:
Dear Sir: Yours of 24th inst. is
received this morning and commands
my close attention. I acknowledge
with pleasure the receipt of the invi-
tation to meet the teachers of Kauf-
man county on the 20th of June and
shall be very glad to do so if my of-
ficial engagements will allow. '
i am glad that you find so much to
commend in the graded register which
I have recently issued and note the
points you make in favor of such a
register as confirming my own judg-
ment. Your thoughts on the necessity of
uniformity in text books are weighty
and worthy of careful consideration.
This question is involved in much
difficulty and I am giving the matter
a good deal of serious thought; Be-
fore the issuance of my next report in
January next I expect to investigate
the experiments which have been
made in other states toward the sdIu-
tion of this question by persanal con-
ference with the school authorities of
these states whom I expect to meet
at the National Educational associa-
tion and by extensive coirespondence.
You are aware that there are a num-
ber of solutions which may be sum-
marized as follows :
1. District adoption.
2. County adoption.
3. State and district adoption of a
single uniform series.
4. State and district adoption Un-
der this system the state superintend-
ent recommends a number of series
and the district trustees adopt some
one of these series.
5. State publication as illustrated
by California.
6. State contract system as used in
Minnesota and more recently in In-
diana. 7. Free text books adopted in all
the large eastern cities and recom
mended by a large number of the
state superintendents as the best so-
lution of the question.
Something must be done. Tho want
of uniformity in single schools ren-
ders good teaching in many instances
a physical impossibility. Frequent
and unnecessary changes impose a
burden upon the poorest classes
which practically excludes many chil-
dren from the school room. If we
can eliminate the influence of alien
interests from the discussion and con
sideration of this question I have no
doubt that we shall reach a conclu-
sion which will materially aid in the
improvement of pur sehool system.
I am glad to receive letters from
thoughtful teachers like yourself on
matters relating to the development
of our school system and shall be glad
to hear from you again when you shall
feel disposed to write. Yours very
truly Oscar H. Cooper
State Sup't Public Instruction.
He also sent out the following
circular :

Austin Tex. January 27 1890. f
To County and Ex-Officio Superintend-
ents :
I am preparing a circular of instruc-
tion and advice to teachers pertain-
ing to the progress of public educa-
tion and the perfection of the public
school system. I want to reach every
certificated teacher in the state with
this circular and in order to do tins
it is very important that I should
have their names and postoffice ad
dresses. You are thereby earnestly
requested to send me as soon as con-
venient the names and addresses of
the certificated teachers.
The facilities of the department of
education for issuing and mailing cir-
culars are doubtless better than
yours and in order to save you
trouble and expense I will unpertake
to reach the teachers directly from
this department.
Pisa. be nromot in this matter. I
ask it of you that I may be able to
fulfill the duties imposed on the
state superintendent by that section
of the law which requires that "he
1011 advise and counsel" with all
school officers aud teachers "as to the
best methods of conducting pumic
schools." Very respectfully

taken in it all over the land.

ceived the following letter from one of
the leading horticulturists in the
United States and it will be observed
that he intends making an exhibit :

J. M. Boroughs. Chairman Committee on
Exhibits Austin Tex. :
My Dear Sir In reply to yours of
the 22d I am happy to note the earn-
est and systematic manner in which
Austin is handling the arrangements
for the entertainment of the American
Horticultural society while iu your
city.
Hon. L. L. Foster has done the
right thing in devoting the rooms of
agricultural department of the capitol
to an exhibition. By his ability and
foresight backed by the citizens of
Austin and the state at large Texas
will eclipse any other state in which
such a meeting has been held.
I shall endeavor to send in a dis-
play of nursery stock.
I shall also urge upon our citizens
to do all iu their power to aid the ex-
hibit. There has never before been
such a grand opportunity for Texas to
make herself known over the United
States to tho best class of cultivators
of the soil. Sincerely '
F. V. Munson.

The Living Vs. the Dead.
Special Correspondence to the Statesman'
Lockhabt Tex. January 25.
Editor Statesman :
Some weeks ago you said in sub-
stance that instead of building mon-
uments of marble over the bodies of
our dead heroes we should help the
living whom misfortune had thrown
upon our charity and then projeeded
to urge the claims of the Confederate
Soldiers' Home at Austin.
Every true Texan must admire the
zeal with which you advocate the
claims of that institution and with
you agree that our first duty is to
provide for the wants of the homeless
and helpless Confederate soldier.
Among the many defects
in our present State con
stitution it seems that no sub-
stantial aid can be given them
by appropriations from the treasury
and they cannot wait for a change in
the organic law. Many of them must
have relief now or never i
We should not discourage the erec-
tion of monuments to commemorate
the heroic deeds of those who have
made our history glorious. On the
contrary we think this has been too
long and shamefully neglected in
Texas.
No state in the union has such a
history. None can present such a list
of heroes and statesmen and no state
has done so little to honor its noble
dead.
Jefferson Davis belongs to the South
and his remains should find a resting
place tyt Richmond the capital of the
Southern Confederacy while every
Southern state should erect a monu-
ment to his memory at its capital suit-
ably inscribed.
In Texas such a monument should
stand up proudly beside one each
erected to the memory of Houston
Austin Rusk Albert Sidney Johnston
and a host of other heroes and states-
men and upon them all the youths of
Texas would look with profit and
pride.
No; let the marble shafts go up as
soon as possible but do not forget the
immediate and pressing necessities of
the old Confederate soldier.
The Statesman has made
many valuable suggestions and
if perfect success has not
crowned its efforts to swell the
fund sufficient to support the old vet-
erans the failure cannot be laid at its
door.
I cannot believe that there is a
lack of desire or ability in the people
of Texas to create at once a necessary
permanent fund for this purpose. In
my judgment concert of action is all
that is necessary to secure success. If
the people were requested to assemble
in the several counties on the same
day for the purpose of doing all they
can for the Home and were assured
that the movement was a general one
throughout the state they would re-
spond as they have never done be-
fore. 5
Let the press throughout the stat
and every Confederate camp in Texas
join in the appeal beginning with the
press and the John B. Hood camp at
Austin.
Appoint the fourth day of July for
the work a day that every true Con-
federate soldier should love to cele-
brate. Let us have a regular Fourth of
July celebration barbecue patriotic
speeches and reunions. Get the peo-
ple together let them talk the matter
over and the work will be done. Very
trily yours L. J. Storey.

THE QUEER.
A SUCK SCHEME FOB DISPOSING OF
COUNTERFEIT GREENBACKS.
Sheriff White Drops On to Highly Inter-
esting Circular from Noted
Counterfeiter.
The following circular is from Chas.
A. Wilson 1030 Adams street Hobo-
ken New Jersey. It fell into the
hands of Sheriff White and explains
itself.
My Dear Sir: I am desirous of ob-
taining a good shrewd agent in your
locality to handle my medicine. The
enclosure herewith gives all the infor-
mation that could be desired and ex-
plains itself:
An opportunity to make an inde-
pendent fortune like this has never
crossed your path before and in all
probabilities never will again as long
as you live. There is no reason whj
you should be a slave and toil all of
your life .for nothing. If you are
foolish enough to let a "golden chance"
like this pass you by all well and
good. If you are miserable and in
want of financial assistance now or
never is your time. In years to come
when you find your self sadly in want
of "coin" in order to keep body and
soul together you will have no one to
blame for your wretched existence
but yourself! This is .serious and
highly important food for though!
Your sober and earnest attention
should be given to every word in this
letter. A person without the "uni-
versal rudder" the Almighty Dollar
is thought but little of and is looked
upon as of no importance to the world.
Is'nt this true? I know whereof I
speak ; in former years I have drank
from the "bitter cup" myself. "A hint
to the wise is sufficient." .
If you have not the money to buy
my goods I would consent to your
taking some confidential friend in
with you who has ; provided of course
he is trustworthy and could keep the
secret. You could both then come
on together and make the deal. How-
ever you would be very foolish to take
anyone in with you if you could raise
enough money yourself.
If my business should suit you it
will be absolutely necessary for you to
come on here and see me in person.
I only deal face to face with my cus-
tomers. Experience has taught me
that this is the safest and most satis-
factory way for both. By your com-
ing on here you see what you are buy-
1 ing and I see who I am dealing with.
Consequently we both feei better sat-
isfied. I know it is quite a journey for you
to make but think of the tremendous
profits to be made with no risk com-
paratively speaking whatever. Now
as far as the expense is concerned I
always make a liberal allowance to
cover the same. Make up youi mind
to come on I know you will always
be thankful for your visit to me. You
will find me a square and honorable
white man in everv particular. When
you arrive here I will show you my en
tire stock from which you can make
your own selections. Then if my
goods are not all that I claim for
them and are not as fine as the en-
closure speaks of I will make you a
present of $1000 in gold and also pay
your traveling expenses both ways
What fairer could you ask? My prices
are as follows: $300 gets Three
Thousand ; $400 gets Five Thousand ;
$050 gets Ten thousand ; $1000 gets
Thirty Thousand. The more you in.
vest the cheaper you get the goods
The sizes run from "One" to"Twenty."
$300 worth of goods is positively the
very smallest amount I will sell under
any circumstances. If you will invest
$6a0 or more I will agree to give you
the exclusive Stata right. Now
should you wish to do business with
me you must obey the following in-
structions and do only as I tell you.
1. Don't as long as you live ever
write a letter to me until I give you
permission. If you do it will be re-
fused. See? I mean exactly what I
say; and furthermore all business re
lations between us will end.
2. If you wish to come on here and
see me send the following telegram
(remember telegram only will be re
ceived) and simply say: "bend in-
structions" then sign your name as
per "pass word" and number given
you.
Third On receipt of your telegram
I will send you full instructions how
to meet me and where to stop ; then
there will be no mistakes in finding
one another. In conclusion I wish
to say if you cannot come on here or
have not $300 to invest simply let the
matter drop until you hear Irom me
again. This will certainly occur be
fore the expiration of thirty days.
Now kindly allow me to caution you
again not to write letters; be patient
and wait until you hear from me.
You must be guided by my advice. If
you do you are bound to succeed. No
such thing as fail. Act squarej Be
true and honorable ! Do me no harm
and you will never regret it. i ou caii
make money faster and easier by
dealing in ' my goods than you ever
dreamed of before in your life. Won't
you try it? Yours sincerely in honor
and confidence "You Know."
With the circular was a clipping
purporting to have been cut from a
New York paper giving an account of
the stealing of plates from the treas
ury department. The article alleges
that Wilson stole the plates and prints
nis money irom inem. jno such MU
cle ever appeared in a newspaper and
it is a fraud gotten up to deceive.
Men who don t want to find them-
selves flat and square in the peniten-
tiary will do well to let Mr. Wilson
and his slick schemes alone.
BURGLARS AT WORK.
A Snceemf nl Raid Causes a Serious Loan to a
Poor Family.
Burglars have been working he
town for several nights now and they
have a desire to enter and rob private
residences only.
Some time night before last the
residence of Elder J. B. Pinkerton
was entered and $6 stolen.
s On the same night the residence of
a family in moderate circumstances
neai' Mr. Sam De Cordova's was en-
tered and nearly $100 of hard earn-
ings were carried off.
It behooves citizens to be on the
watch out about their premises and
officers of the police force should be
on the alert and promptly yank up
suspicious characters loafing around
premises where t hey have no business.

ARBOR DAY.
Suggestions That an Arbor Day Association
Be Formed. ''
It was freely suggested yesterday
that it will be well to organize an
Arbor Day association in"Austin and
Travis county. Why not? . They
have them elsewhere in Texas and
in some of the great prairie states
they are state institutions and of
great value. Such associations are
of great value to Texas. One will be
of value to Austin and Travis county
and as the state has fixed an "Arbor
day" it will be eminently proper for
an association to organize here to
properly observe it. At least such a
suggestion was made yesterday.

IMPORTANCE OF FORESTRY.
A Cordial Invitation Extended the Various
Arbor Day Associations.
At a meeting of the bpard of trade
yesterday the question of forestry
came up and after some discussion
the following resolution was adopted :
Recognizing the importance of forestry
and all matters relating thereto and desir-
ing to encourage stich be it
Resolved That the Austin board of trade
hereby extends a cordial invitation to the
members of the various Arbor Day associa-
tions in Texas and all others interested in
the subject of forestry to meet in Austin
during the session of the American Horti-
cultural society to be held in this city on
February 17 18. 19 20 and 21 for the pur-
pose of organizing a State Forestry associa-
tion. All state papers friendly to this
movement are requested to publish
this resolution. The subject of forest
planting on plains and prairies will be
one of the main features of discussion
at the convention of the above named
horticultural society.

The Confederate Home.
To the Editor of the Statesman :
It has been suggested more than
once by The Statesman that if every
adult person in Austin who is able to
ao so wouia conwiouie iu me
Home fund the financial result would
be most gratifying. Dear men and
women of the Capitol City the writer
of this has lived among you for many
years and has never known you to
fail when asked for help and the
endowment of the Confederate Home
surely lies as near to our hearts as any
chanty .women ever worked for or men
contributed to.
Now we all know this eudowment
fund is but a mite compared with
what it should be and must be before
Texas can provide a home for her
needy disabled old soldiers.
The suggestiou of The Statesman
is a simple and a good one that every
adult in Austin who can possibly spare
so much donate $1 to the Home
fund.
Seeing - how much could bo ac
complished by this simple method
other towns would adopt the same
plan and the aggregated result would
be ample endowment for the Home
and no one perceptably taxed.
Let us make such an effort without
further delay rememleing that the
time we spend in procrastination is
long enough for much suffering among
those who look to the Home lor
refuge and comfort inj their helpless
old age. M.

SCHOOL 'MATTERS.
AN
ADDRESS
LOVE
BY SUPERINTENDENT
OF NAVARRO
COUNTY.
How Can Superintendents Have Influence
. Among Politician Without Them-
selves Becoming; Politicians.
The state superintendent of educa-
tion has just issued tha proceedings of
the Superintendents' association and
they contain an address by Superin
tendent Love of Navaro county the
sentiments of which aro timely. He
says:
In the discussion of this question it
is first necessary to define the word
politician. In its true and etymologi-
cal sense it means one who is versed
in the science of government one
devoted to and who advocates such
measures as he is convinced will be
for the welfare of his country and pro
mote the intelligence and mor-
ality of its citizens. In the common
acceptation of the term it means one
. . j . .
wno is uevoteu io tne auvancemeni
of a particular party one given to
artifice and intrigue. To be a poli
tician of the one kind is honorable is
commendable is an absolute neces
sity if we would not be nonentities in
the world of action. To be a poli;
tician of the other kind is to say the
least not very commendable.
It is an evident fact that school
teachers especially superintendents
who are bv virtue of their position
leaders in educational matters must
study to develop the school system of
our countrv. The people look to them
for guidance in this matter It is
their duty to formulate methods
and measures calculated to ad-
vance the school interests of
our country . ana it men
becomes their duty to advocate such
measures to the fullest extent of their
ability. But you ask the question
are they not thereby making politi
cians of themselves?" I answer they
are. They are politicians in one sense
in the true sense of the word. But
who oan afford not to be a politician
in this sense ! They need not be pol
iticians in the less reputable meaning
of the word.
Whether they aro to be classed
with the more or less reputable class
depends upon the means employed to
gain their object. And here lies the
gist of our subject : "How can super-
intendents influence politicians with-
out themselves becoming politicians?"
In the light of what has lust been
said it cannot be done and yet it can
be done.
If we undertake to influence legisla
tion in any way we advocate certain
measures and become to that extent
politicians; but we can still lend our
influence in that direction and yet
not become politicians in the other
sense of the term.
I have said that the people look to
the county and city superintendents
and especially t3 the state superin
tendent to suggest needed reforms
They are in a better position to know
what would improve the condition of
our schools than anyone else and by
making it their special study it is pre
sumable they are conversant with
the defects of our school system and
are better able to make wise sugges
tions lb then becomes not only their
privilege but their duty to labor and
labor with a zeal worthy of the cause
they represent for the success of such
measures as will improve the condi
tion of our schools.
There must of necessity be a har
monious action on the part of the en
tire body of superintendents. Ihey
should take counsel together and
agree upon some plan must Drmg
their united forces to bear upon the
same proposition. Slight differences
of opinion must be waived and all
unite as far as possible in advocating
such measures as may be agreed
upon.
There should be an executive com
mittee appointed by this body whose
duty it should be to represent the
ideas and desires of the association
before the legislature and at such
other times and places as may be
proper.
This association should endeavor to
discuss proposed reforms in order that
free expression of sentiment may be
had and the executive committee
should be thoroughly posted in that
respect and reflect the sentiments of
the association on all points with
which they deal.
I do not believe that our taw as
sociation or our county associations
deal sufficiently with these matfra.
believe that a subject Scaling vitn
our school system as a i-litem should
be on the programme oi every asso-
ciation and county institute.
While in many respects wo have a
good school system yet in many
other respects it is far surpassed by
some of our bister states tturpns
ingly few of our teachers know any
thing about the school systems of
other states have no comparisons
made with our own and really know
but very little of the machinery of our
own system.
City and county superintendents
could do veiy much in this way by en
couraging an inquiry into the systems
of other states lecturing on our own
system pointing out the good as well
as the evil
The most effectual way to influence
politicians is to first influence or edu
cate public opinion in the direction
vou wish. Superintendents can do
this in many ways. I have found no

. I find by experience that when we tlu
wish to carry any point indirect agen-
cies are . generally more potent than
direct. It is my opinion that super-
intendents can accomplish many de-
fired results through a judicious use
oi the local press.
The fatal error with many of us is
our fear of being stigmatized as poli-
ticians. We too frequently shirk our
duty by not expressing our opinions
freely on subjects of vital importance.
We fear the unpopular side of the
question and thus in our fear of be-
coming politicians of the more com-
mendable class we for policy sake re-
main silent and as a result become
politicians in tho more objectionable
sense and in the common acceptation
of the term.
The idea is that we should map out
a policy and continue to work in that
direction. I think the history of the
Ohio teachers' association in "their ef-
forts to obtain a State superintendent
or Commissioner as they term it
would prove profitable to all of us.
In order to convince the people and
the legislature of the benefits to be
derived from such an office the associ-
ation assumed the responsibility of
appointing a state commissioner
whose duty it should be to visit the
different counties inspect their
schools make suggestions organize
county institutes lecture the teachers
and the people ; in short to use every
means to awaken an interest in edu-
cational matters.
The State association had to main-
tain by gratuitous contributions this
office for several years. But it event
ually bore fruit and the people after
seeing the benefits to be derived de-
manded of the legislature the creation
by law of the office of state superin-
tendent. And though the school sys-
tem of the State is not today what it
should be yet it is indebted to this
move for its present advancement.
