To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALp:--
Enclosed please find So toward the Custer monu
mcnt In this connection permit me to inquire as to
tho cause all this trouble with the Indians Has 1t
not arisen from the silly sentiment held by some
people that this land Of North America originally be-
longed to the savages because they happened to
cupy tor, rather. very small portion OF -beforo
discovery by the white man? Why should our govern
ment contribute in any way to the red mans support
The New York herald., 1876-07-18

this was not so, his experience was exceedingly lin.
tied, and that he oyerreached by indian tactics
and hundreds Of valuable lives sacrificed thereby, will
astonish those alone who may have read his writings

DAYTON PUBLIC SCHOOL. - The
public school III Dayton, which is
presided over by Mrs. Swift, with
Miss Minnie Leslie as assistant, is in
very prosperous condition. Nearly
one hundred pupils are in attendance,
most of whom we're born and raised
in the town. The effect of pleasant
surroundings upon the children is no.
ticeable. The windows of the school
rooms are lined with beautiful ger
aniums, rhododendrons, oleanders
and other beautiful towering plants.
The walls of the school building are
covered with pictures, so that the
scholars unconsciously are acquiring,
day by day love, for the beautiful
in nature and art. The principal of
the school is a teacher Of experience
and is thoroughly interested in her
work. Miss Leslie, the teacher Of
the primary department, is getting
along very well in her efforts to teach
the young idea how to shoot. Our
reporter, who visited the school a
few days ago. was permitted to ex-
anime the scholars in the different
common English branches. and
found them we'll up in their studies.
Ii an orthographical contest, con-
dueted in writing, Master Charles
Ru!ison and Ida Rothschiid proved
to be the champion spoilers. The
people of Dayton have good reason
10 feel proud of their public school.

To THE LADIEs.-This is the sea,
son of the year for ladies to wear
light suits. Waterprocfs and other
heavy garments are now relegated
to the wardrobe, to be brought out
when the storms of another season
make them comfortable to wear.
With each change of season the dry
goods men have to get a different
Stock to supply the demand. Women
like to know as early as possible
what IS going to be Worn, so that
they can make arrangements to lie
reasonably within the rules of that
tickle thing, fashion. In dry goods,
AZ in everything else in the line of
trade, energetic, wide-awake dealers
always come to The surface, while
their slow competitors sink down to
the line of mediocrity. 1t is to live
establishment, whose managers are
active to the wants of their custom
ers, that ladies should go where they
are a shopping. Likewise of such
place it is profitable to read when
purchases are contemplated. There-
fore we make no bones to cali the
attention of our lady readers to the
firm Of A. Vaenberg g. Co., No. 80
South c street, Virginia, who have
just now on hand large stock Of
the finest kind of goods in the line
OF ladies' and children's wear. They
have just received from the markets
OF San Francisco the latest style, in
cloth and cut, of summer wear, COM
prising linen suits, parasols, hats, etc.
The firm do the fair thing by their
customers, aud have large trasle.
Those going to Virginia to make
purchases in their line could not do
better than to call and examine their
stock.

1.opuiar VIM Ignored.

The action Of the State Board or
Educstion on Saturday last, in ignor-
ing the. wishes of the people and
Of nearly all Che leaders IN educa-
tional affairs in this part of the codn.
try, is remarkable. Petitions were
presented signed by hundreds of the
most intelligent and iafuential resi-
dents of Storey, Lyon, Ormsby and
Washoe counties, asking the Board
to adopt the Pacific Cosst readers as
the lawful textbooks in that branch
Of study in the State. The press
spoke ont in plain terms in favor Of
the same change. Many professional
teachers and County superintendents
appeared personally at the meeting
and stated their reasons for preferring
the Pacific Coast readers to any
others. Notwithstanding this de-
cided, forcible aald unequivocal ex-
preston of public opinion, the Board
adopted the Sheldon series, by two
votes out Of the three. Mr.. Day
voted against it. Mr.. Kelly, the State
Superintendent, was firm in his
views from the beginning, as was
stated in THE TIxEs before the
Board met, and could not be influ-
enced in the rem otest degree by
those who are his peers in learning
and have had ten times his expert
cnce in school affairs. We incline to
the opinion that Mr.. Kelly has thus
thfswn away. bis chances for re-
election. His time expires next fall.
1t is good deal for a school superin-
tendcut, even, to take upon himself
to decide against so strong popular
will us he has done. He must have
assumed either that the sigaers of
the petitions and the gentlemen who
appeared personally to speak their
mind ON the matter were either
knaves or fools ~ were either in
fluenced in their action by illegiti-
mate means or were incompetent to
Judge of the merits of school books.
He must either heve thought that or
have been influenced himself in u
questionable way. There is no other
conclusion for one to arrive at in his
case. So that in view of these highly
probable facts, should Mr.. Kelly
again come before the people as
candidate tor the Office of Su-
preme Judge of School books and
arbiter of the educational institutions
Of the State, he viii; be entitled to an
overwhelming defeat He perhaps
does not hope fora second term. He
surely could not expect it after SO
fiagrant an official wrong as he up
pears TO have committed The Gov
crnor, we have reason to believe, did
not vote understandingly upon. the
question. He is honest enough. but
not altogether we'll qualified to
Judge of the merits of school books.
The State Board of Education ought
to be composed as in California, of
men who are professionally teachers,
and who are therefore qualified to act
for the benefit of the schools.
