States mails, are being printed rapidly in

rbe Admission Of Chinese Into Our
public schools.

Public
rbare are two little China boys in Eureka
.bout ten or eleven years old. They speak
very good English-about as good as that
Of the white boys whom they play ball and
marbles with on the streets. II is not I'M
likely that they were born in this country.
a. they speak our mother tongue almost
entirely without foreign accent. The boys
and their parents, or those who stand to
.hem In that relation, are anxious to have
them attend the public schools. They say
thew will dress them entirely In the Caucs-
alan style OF clothes, SO as to have them
differ AZ little as possible in personal APP
nesrsnce from the other scholars, the
rh;ta children, The little Cinnamon, OF
conrse. retain their cues. The Board OF
School Trustees have agreed to admit these
bows to school. We are not aware That
dis has ever been done before in Eureka,
though elsewherein the State; or that there
has ever been such an application TO the
BOARD Of Trustees OF this schoo district.
There has been some doubt as to the legal
iy Of admitting China children into the
public schools Of Nevada, but the question
has been decided in their favor by the
present Schoolmaster General, Mr.. Young.
As to the policy Of receiving them into the
public schools, there seems to be no
we'll grounded objection. II is our
boast that public education in
the United States is like salvation, free to
all, to be had without money aud without
price. There is little danger to white
children from sitting in a room and recit-
ing in a class with one or two clean, we'll
dressed China children. While the latter
are deriving the advantages proposed by
the public school system, the former. per-
hsps, may be stimulated by their presence
and emulation to greater efforts. The
two boys referred TO are very we'll behaved
and unusually bright. II will be interest
ing to observe their progress and note
their stand among the white boys and
girls. There are q few Chinese and
Japanese pupils in several OF the first-class
colleges OF the United States who are very
clever students; and within the last 10
years a number have graduated from these
colleges with considerable distinction. We
shall see how the experiment works in
