Teachers Examinations


In Santa Clara county there were so
applicants for certificates, Al ladies and
nine gentlemen. Only seven certifi-
Gates were granted; one first grade,
three second grade, and three third
grade. OF the examination in Placer
county, the Herald speaks as follows:
At the teachers examination, held
last week, there were five applicants
for certificates. All received the de-
sired document, but none higher than
third grade. The questions, it is said
were unusually hard. We hear much
complaining about the rigid restric-
tions Of the State Board in reference
to examinations. Under recent rules,
applicants are not only required to
answer certain per cent. of questions,
but must do it in certain time. This
is an arbitrary humbug. Some think
the State Board of Education are at
tempting to crowd out of the profession
all but Normal graduates. They, as a
class, ought to be superior teachers;
but if not the rule, certainly it is the
exception, that others are as good.

THE ALSO MILLS.
Phenix-like Raised from their Ashes
Again In Running Order.

1t will be remembered that on the
night of July 10th, 1874 the people of
Los Angeles were aroused by an alarm
of fire and turned out to find the Also
Mills enveloped in flames and soon
converted into a mass of ruins. The
loss to the owners and operators at the
time was estimated to be about $40, 900
and was but slightly covered by in
surance; but the injury entailed upon
the business interests of the commu
nifty in the destruction of the princi-
pal Touring mill of the county swelled
the actual loss to much larger figure.
Fortunately the walls of the building,
of substantial brick, withstood the
fury OF the flames and were not even
cracked by the intense heat and the
water thrown upon them. During
the past two months, workmen have
been busily engaged refurnishing the
Quilted walls with roofs, floors and
machinery, and the Also Mills stand
to-day as staunch as ever. The refit-
ting was done under the supervision
of Mr.. Thos. w. Irwin, and cost about
$4,000. New machinery throughout
of the most improved style was sup
piled, and the whole placed in cap-a-
pie order, with bins, elevators, boiling
machines, separators, etc., only to be
appreciated by practical miller. The
power for operating the mill is fur
,,te hxy in, oh
carries about 400 inches of water. A
Lafelle water wheel is used, operating
two run of stones and the other neces-
sary machinery. Mr.. G. R. Parker, a
man of large experience in the busi-
ness, is the miller in charge. Although
the mills were started up some two
weeks since, it cannot be said that
they were in full operation until the
beginning of this week. Thus far only
feed has been ground of mixed barley
and corn, but in few days the mills
will commence running on corn
almost exclusively, making an article
Of meal fully up to the old standard.
70 Messrs. o. w. Childs, j. G. Dow
ney and l. w. Hellman, the proprie-
tors of the mill property, belongs the
honor of rescuing our city from u
complete state of dependence upon
other sections for the immense guam
titles of -four and feed consumed in
Los Angeles. We trust that the Also
Mills will stand untouched by fire or
accident in the future, and prove a
nucleus around which other similar
enterprises will congregate to make
our city one of the chief manufacture
ing points of California.

The Wheeler Troupe.

The following notice of this troupe,
which will appear at Merced Theatre
on Saturday and Monday evenings, we
clip from the San Jose Mercury: "Ben
Wheeler's Comedy troupe gave their
last appearance for the present at the
Opera House last night to another
highly pleased audience. We say,
and in no sense of fulsome fiattery,
that this is one of the very best troupes
of the kind that ever visited San Jose.
AS q delineator of plantation eccen-
tricities we don't believe Petri has his
equal in America. Wheelers Irish
characters, also, are genuine touches
of true genius. Although a sort Of
variety performance, it is entirely
chaste and meritorious, and just the
kind to please the average audience
We hope they will find it in their way
to visit us again.

DIR. Gilman, President of the Uni
versity of California, has presented his
resignation to the Board of Regents.
1t is understood that he will be elected
President of a new University, in the
city of Baltimore, which has en-
dowment so ample that it will at once
take rank with our oldest colleges. The
Regents will find it difficult to procure
a man who can fill the place vacated
by DR.. Gilman. 1t is the most respon-
sible position in the State. Scores of
men suited for other positions can be
found where there is not one suited to
the Presidency of our great Occidental
University. A thousand interests de-
pend in some degree upon the choice
made by the Regents.

lust what the Los Angeles Teachers Do.

The New York Educational Journal
says: "If the teachers in larger schools
would take different education jour-
nails and exchange, it would be WE'LL"
We adopted this plan last year, with
results so satisfactory that it is con-
tinued for the year 1875; and in addi-
tion to the teachers each member of
the Board of Education takes jour
nal. Thus twenty-five of the best
educational papers in the United States
are deposited monthly in the Superin-
tendent's office, whence they can be
drawn by teachers and advanced pu-
pills. We heartily endorse the recon-
mendation of the New York Journal.
