THE OAKLAND COLLEGE ScHooL.-In the
s. F. Times of June 18th the following no.
tice of our leading institution. the Oakland
College School, may be found:
As one of the most popular and useful
academies on the coast, the Oakland Col
| lege School deserves some special notice,
and there are few who will not be pleased to
learn something of its present condition,
while perusing an account ofits annual clos
ing exercises. 1t was founded in 1853, and
during the fifteen years of its existence, has
been continually progressing and enlarging,
not only in the AREA it covers, but in the
scope and general arrangement of its educa-
tional system. Its students are drawn from
every county in California, from Oregon,
Washington Territory, Nevada, Montana,
Arizona, Lower California, Mexico and the
Sandwich Islands. About two hundred and
fifty have been in attendance during the
past term, one hundred and fifty Of whom
are boarders. Each term new building or
enlargement is needed to furnish increased
accommodations, which are always con-
,rived in a commodious manner.
The school is divided into several district
visions. The young boys are well cared for
in the primary department, which is super
vised by c. c. Brier. The next higher is
called the junior, and still higher are the
senior classes. In the latter separate rooms
are provided for the students in the classical
course. Those are prepared for a regular
collegiate course, under the instruction of
Prof. Martin Kellogg, of the College of Cali
fornia, George Z. Beckwith, and F. II.
Whitworth. Many young men, however,
enter the institution who desire merely a
liberal business education without the claS-
sizes. These enter the senior English de-
partment, at the head of which are the Vice
Principal, F. NJ. Campbell, and the Associ
ate Principal, Rev. +. G. Beckwith-latcly
of San Francisco and Sacramento, and for
merly President ofthe Oahu College, Sand !
WITCH Islands. Here the course Of instruction
is in all the branches of English education
and in the modern languages, which are
made an integral part of the regular studies. !
Book keeping (single and double entry, sur
veying and engineering are taught SO TO
combine both theory and practice. fine
laboratory, connected with the College Of
California, is open to the students in chem
istry and assaying and a complete appara-
tus is used in connection with recitations
and lectures in natural philosophy. Pen
drawing, painting and music are
the specialtes Of four different teachers.
Specimens Of work in these studies are
shown which reveal much latent talent, es-
pecially among the Spanish-American boys
The Faculty consists Of twenty-one mem
oers. The Associate Principal, Rev. f. 6.
Beckwith. received a call to take thetPro-
'essorship Of Rhetoric in Williams College,
Massachusetts,, but praferring to work in
he State OF his adoption, he was perman-
entity located at Oakland. Mr.. L. W. Camp
1eli has been favOrably known to the public
or many years as a rigorous, untiring, capa
lie and judicious teacher.
The facilities, which are offered by large
md beautiful Fairgrounds, and delightful
climate, are well improved by the students.
A IL are distinguished BY erect and robust
.gures. Sickness is unknown, and good
appetite, together with good diet, make
hem all as happy and comfortable as If in
heir homes.
The examinations, which have been held
Turing the week, have been well attended by
isitors and educational critics. all of whom
DIN in the highest recommendation Of both
cholars and teachers. The systematic dis
ipline no where shows TO better advantage
han in the results of training, which are
rought TO view in these examinations, when
hree or four classes were being examined
I once in various departments. The i'm
etus, which must be given to academic in :
.ruction, BY the attention of the State being
rawn to the organization Of University
lust be felt greatly in the Oakland College
chool, whence, doubtless, a large number
f those who enter the University will be
rawn.
