Too Many Studies.

In almost every educational journal
there are articles concerning the eX-
isting course of studies in many public
schools. Little by little additions
have been made, until all intelligent
teachers acknowledge it is impossible
to comply with the requirements of
the law without danger OF serious in
jury to the pupils. In many cities the
physicians have entered their protests
against the wholesale injury, and, in
some cases, " slaughter of the inno-
cents.n The Chicago Teacher ridcules
the too prevalent custom in the follow
ing strong languages:
"In view of the impossibility of
teaching elementary studies, in conse-
quence of the addition to the district
school course of SO many higher
branches, it is now proposed that
school boards should have the chill
dren born able to read, write and
cipher to the rule of three. In this
way sufficient time might be gained
to instruct in botany, geometry, nat
ural philosophy, astronomy, German,
geology, domestic economy, social sci
ence, meterology, mineralogy, agri
culture, manufacture, mining, COM
merce, history, political economy,
music, drawing, philology, the fine
arts, bellies lettres, and the other stud
les absolutely necessary to fit a boy to
be shoemaker, or a girl to be n mill
liner.n
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-01-07
Or. Carr's Opinion.

In q communication to the Rural
Press describing his recent visit to
Southern California, the Doctor refers
to our educational interests in the fol-
lowing complimentary terms: Los
Angeles county is admirably adapted
for the tablishment of a noble agri-
cultural school, and it is not saying
too much to prophesy, that in a very
few years hundreds of young persons
from less genial climates will be seek
ing its advantages for practical with
theoretic instruction. The schools l
visited, the teachers | met, show how
strong the public sentiment is becom-
ing in respect to the new education.
The Teachers Institute was well at
tended. Superintendent Peck need not
fear a comparison with Alameda or
any other county, for he holds juris-
diction over some of the best educa-
tional material of the State. Nor has
DR.. Lucky less reason to rejoice in
good work, faithfully done. Whether
we look at this part of the State from
the Changers or educational stand
point, the banner of Hope waves over

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
Edited by the Teachers of the Public Schools
of Los Angeles county,
Report OF the Commissioner of Education,
1873.

We are indebted to Hon. John
Eaton, Commissioner, for copy of
his valuable report. 1t embraces
matters of great interest to all who
take pleasure in comparing the educa-
tional statistics of different States,
Territories and Nations. 1t is eX-
ceedingly gratifying to know that the
inestimable blessings of free public
schools are now acknowledged in every
section of country. Frequent extracts
will be made from this work, in order
that the readers of the HERALD may
know what progress has been made in
our own country and in foreign ma
tionS.
Considering the great good that has
been accomplished by the Bureau of
Education, it is surprising that Con-
gress refused to increase the appropri-
alton for its support, and astonishing
that such a man as Hon. Frank Here
ford, of West Virginia, could move to
withhold any appropriation, thus vir-
tually abolishing one of the most use
full departments of the Government

VASQUEZ.
The Bandit Pleads mot Guiliy''-Tle
Trial in Progress.

The trial of Tiburcio Vasquez, the
noted bandit, arrested near this city
in May last, was commenced on Tues
day morning, in the District Court of
Santa Clara county, at San Jose. The
charge preferred against Vasquez was
the murder of Davidson, on the Goth
of August, 1873, at Snyders store, in
Tres Pinos. Vasquez, previous to the
calling of the case, had instructed his
counsel to make strenuous effort for
a continuance, ON the ground of the
absence of important testimony for
the defense. One of the absent wit
nesses is Chavis-a villain who is
wanted for more purposes than to tes-
tify on behalf of his quandam chief.
Judge Belden presided. Attorney
General Love appeared for the prose-
cution, with Thos. Bodley, of Santa
Clara, and w. f.. Lovett and n. G.
Briggs, of Hollister. Judge G. B.
Darwin was retained by the defense,
but retired from the case, and the
prisoners counsel consisted of j. A.
Moulton and p. B. Tully, of Gilroy,
and gentleman from Santa Clara.
The day was consumed in obtaining a
jury and in argument on continu-
ance, which was requested by Tully
on account of the recent retirement of
Darwin. The continuance was denied.
About half-past S P. NJ. the jury was
obtained, about seventy having been
examined. The indictment was read
to them, charging Vasquez, Chavis,
Moreno and Gonzales with murder.
Vasquez pleaded "not guilty." Yes
terday morning the examination COM
menced, butInothingaof Importance,
up to latest advices, had been elected.
Sheriff Rowland left here for San
Jose on Tuesday morning.
