Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the State of Arkansas: For the Years 1891 and 1892 Sir - I have the honor to transmit to you a series of exhibits and recommendations forming report of the Department of Public Instruction in relation to the education of the State for the biennium ending June 30, 1892.

Your course towards public education has been marked and manly, and your interest in the better education of our teachers has entitled you to a high place in the affection of educators and the people. One of the highest compliments to your administration is the fact that it witnessed a great educational awakening in the center of which you stood giving confidence, courage and power.
