The AtchisOn Champion says: One
Of the most important bills introduced
during the present session of the legis-
iature is IAN act supplementary TO an
act entitled 'An act for the regulation
and support of common Schools APP
proved May, 1861, chapter 92, of the re-
vised laws of 1868" and which was Of

tendent and the president. Of the state

Of text books for the use of the com

and compiled. when finished. 'The
text books, so selected and compiled,
shall be used in all the common schools
of the state. and no superintendent or
teacher shall require the use of any

state. it is provided, shall copyright
such books when so compiled and Sc

shall be free to print, publish and sell
the same.
The object OF Mr.. Grimes bill is TO
prevent the numerous changes of school
books bv school boards, superintcnd-
cnts and teachers. There changes cost
the people of the state immense sums
every year, and serve no good purpose.
II is charged, aud believed by many,
that such changes are often made be-
cause the authorities ordering them
receive 4 percentage on the sales OF
books. Whether this is true or not, 1T
is true that the burden thus imposed
upon parents Is unnecessary, unrcason-
able. and often outrageous. Very Of
ten the books ordered are inferior to
those formerly in use, aud still more
frequently is it the case that no inn
provemcnt is made by the changes.
Some steps should be taken to prevent
these frequent changes, by the adop-
ton of senator Grimes bill, or an act
similar in character that will accom- :

The Conference and Education.

We take the following extract from
the report on Education adopted by
the Los Angeles Conference at its last
session at Carpenteria.
Our conference is confined within q
territory which is comparatively new,
yet filling up with an intelligent, in
dustrious population. The church
must keep pace with the moral and
educational wants of the masses, if
she would prove true to her trust. AS
to her educational work we are glad to
report q rapid and healthy progress.
She already has two schools under her
control both of which are prosperous
and doing good work.
The Los Nietos Collegiate Institute,
located at Los Nietos is enjoying con-
siderable prosperity, having matricu-
lated fifty-seven students during the
session, fifteen of which are from
abroad The Principal, Rev. s. M.
Adams and his competent assistants
are doing faithful and efficient work
in building up the school.
Resolved, That the prosperity Of the
Collegiate Institute located at Los
Nietos, gives us unfeigned pleasure
and that we heartily recommend it to
the confidence and patronage of an
enlightened public.

Another Grand Land Project.

BY reference to our advertising col
umns it will be seen that another
large land company has been formed,
something after the style of the Lom-
poe Company to divide and sell in
small tracts the Centinela, ranch Of
%, 600 acres, commencing about three
and half miles west of Los Angeles
and extending to the ocean. The of
ficers of the company are F. Z. f.
Temple, President; j. S. Slauson,
Treasurer, and w. H. J. Brooks. See
retary. The tract lies in u fine valley
with rolling hills to temper the sea
breeze, and climate as uneXceptlon-
able as that of our own city. The
land is fertile and, it is said, capable
of producing a crop without irriga-
ton. The Centinela creek runs
through the tract and furnishes an
abundance of pure spring water. The
land will be divided into five, ten,
twenty and forty acre farms and sold
to actual settlers on reasonable terms.
The sale will be by auction, commence
ing on Monday, January Is, 1873, and
continuing five days. This project
will offer fine opportunities to men or
limited means who desire to settle in
Southern California and devote them
selves to farming. We commend a
careful perusal of the advertisement
by all who have an eye to such an ad-
yantaGeous Investment.

She scolds me just as she used to do,

All the neighbors have had their word;
''Twas better TO PERISH some of'm say,

"Your wife," said l, "hath Gods good care
And his remedies-light and water and air.
All the doctors, without n doubt,
Couldn't have cured Mrs Rogers without"

Belle Boyd.

The Atlanta Georgia. NeWs of Sun
day, November Sth, says: :Whatever
may be the literary abilities of the
lady who is lecturing throughout the
country as Belle Boyd, it is quite GER
tain that she is not the once famous
Confederate spy. Poor Belle Boyd's
stormy career wound up in Califor--
MIA lunatic asalum two years ago, and
the telegraph at the time brought us
the news of her death. The editor of
this paper was personally acquainted
with Belle Boyd, and yesterday he
called upon the lady claiming to be
her and found an entirely different
person. Belle was a tall woman, with
blue eyes and light hair, while the
lady in question is short, with black
hair and eyes,and, ungallant as it may
seem, we are forced to say that she
must be at least fifteen years older
than Belle Byod would have been had
she been living. In short, the pre-
tended Belle Boyd is an imposter, and
should not be encouraged by our peo-
pie. 1t is cruel, this attempt to drag
from her grave in California the poor
woman whose many faults were more
than atoned for in her tragic end, and
whose unwomanly career deserves for
giveness and forgetfulness in it's really
ardent and patriotic devotion to the
South.

American" After ''Young Teacher" Again.

! EDITOR HERALD: We must ac-
knowledge that we were rather disap-
pointed with Young Teachers eX-
planation, as he only refers to couple
of treaties, in which we fail to see any
reference with regard to the liberation
of the Christian religion upon Ameri-
can soil; and finishes up by talking
about logic. We were not aware be-
! fore that his article contained any
great amount oflogic.
| This is the first time we have ever
heard that any ministers of religion
| had "besieged the halls of legislation
| to have Christ recognized as % ruler
among nations.n The ministers we
have been so fortunate as to hear
| have been content to recognize Him
as a spiritual ruler.
Now, if the Republic of the United
| Stetes is not a Christian Republic, and
| the people living under this Govern
ment do not constitute q Christian
| Nation, we will be much obliged to
him if he will be so kind as to tell us
what they are. If he will read the
Declaration of Independence lie will
find that the last paragraph reads
thus: "And, for the support of this
declaration, with firm reliance on
the prote elton of Divine Providence,
we mutually pledge to each other our
lives, our fortunes, and our sacred
honor.n
We should like to know upon whose
protection those brave old patriots
relied if not upon that of the Chris
tian's God? If we have no religion as
nation, why is the Bible kept upon
the Presidential desk, and in all the
halls of Government? Why is perjury
any more a crime after an oath being
sworn upon this book than any other?
Why does the Government furnish
chaplains for our navy, army and
prisons? Why is it that the United
States offers its protection to every
creed, except that it is based upon
Christian liberality instead of bigoted
sectarianism.
"Young Teacher seems to have
wandered from the most important
part of the subject, which was the
right to introduce morals into our
public schools; and we still maintain
our t1osrItion that the Christian re-
ligion has right to introduce its
code of morals into our free schools.
If "Young Teacher can find any bet
ter morality than that contained in
the Bible let him produce it.
If he throws out morality will he
as readily throw out immortality? 1t
is the lack of morality in our educa-
tional and moral circles that has pro-
duced the hoodlum element which is
sweeping over our land with such ter
rifle force, and taking with it
many who might have been an honor
instead of q disgrace to the name they
bear.
1t is our opinion that the teachers
of to-day have it in their power to
check this tidal wave, sweeping up
from the sea of immortality into the
minds of their pupils-morals. And
they need not stand in any fear that
any official of the United States will
interfere with their duties upon the
very flimsy excuse, that they have no
right to introduce morals into the free
schools.
