Educational Investigation.

In examining the different branches
of her municipal government San
Francisco has probed mass of cor
ruption greater in quantity and more
offensive in quality than one unac-
auainted with the manner of doing
things in that city could suppose to ex-
ist. If there is anything pure, on
high moral standard, and entitled to
the name of respectability in a city it
should be her educational department.
The natural conclusion at which one
would arrive would be that school di-
rectors were selected from among the
moral, intelligent and educated class
of the community whose educational
affairs they were to govern. Yet San
San Francisco has not one of these and
does not the other. AS far back as we
can remember, and that is almost to
the day of her first school, San Fran
cisco has never selected her school di-
rectors for their moral character, their
intelligence or their education. In too
many instances they were Ward poll
ticians, men without means, reputa-
ton or education, whose chief busi-
ness was doing nothing or worse than
nothing. with majority, or even a
minority of such directors no sensible
person could expect the schools to be
we'll kept or the department properly
and economically managed. Only a
little while ago the charge was made
and proved that there were specula-
tions, rascality would be nearer the
word, in the purchasing departm ent
and it now turns out that teachers po-
sitions are sold through hotel waiter
who acts as broker between some of
the members and the applicants for
positions. The qualification of the
would-be teacher is not taken into ac-
count, and his or her adaptation for
the position is. not considered. The
hotel-waiter broker only requires that
the money or satisfactory notes shall
be forthcoming. 1t is within the
knowledge of many of San Francisco's s
people that in some instances teachers
have been employed whose moral
character was far from good. There
are some honest men and gentlemen
on the present Board, and if they are
permitted they will get down to the
bottom of the thing before the close of
the investigation now in progress. If
clear and thorough examination is
had discoveries will be made more
startling than those yet brought to the
hight. It AIiglIU iti5v Do VIII w ine,vire

Doing Good Work.

The HERALD has been earnest and
faithful in the task of disseminating
reliable information concerning South
ern California in general and of Los
Angeles valley in particular. Alto
gether, over ten thousand HERALD
pamphlets have been circulated within
the last eight months, and large pro-
portion of them have reached people
in the East. Besides these, many
hundred copies of each issue of the
WEEKLY HERALD are sent to the
other side of the continent. These are
read and reread by whole neighbor-
hoods and are the direct means of add
ing many hundreds to the population
of this part of the State. We are hear
ing from these pamphlets and papers
daily, and yesterday we received a let
ter from a gentleman in New York
city, from which we make the follow
ing extract:
EDITOR HERALD: have neglected
heretofore to acknowledge the receipt
of pamphlet, but it came safe to hand;

THE San Francisco Evening Post
has commenced issuing weekly on
terms that look very much like an
untried experiment. 1t is a double
sheet, and contains ga columns of
matter. The subscription price to the
Weekly Post is but one dollar per year,
and herein appears the experiment.
Unless the Post is able to purchase
paper cheaper than we are, the white
paper for fifty-two numbers of its
weekly will cost about one dollar and
forty cents. One dollar per year for
an eight page weekly is too cheap
too cheap to last long.
