THE TEACHERS AUTHORITY.

The educational problem magnilics
with each process in its solution. AS we
group the known quantities. the un-
known appear more pretentious. AS the
authority of the teacher loses its old
time dignity. as she no longer is priv
ileged to do automatically whatever she
may think effective in discipline, the
complications of what she wishes, ought,
and has the legal right to do, multiply
There is no lady in America in any or
binary vocation who has such need of
knowing the law bearing upon her
rights and privileges as the teacher
There are such apparent intricacics of
ruling, such sharp determinations, that
the ordinary principles of good sense
are not sufficient. A well meaning
teacher may easily drift into disciplin-
airy circumstances in which she may
give rulings or do things in which the
law will not defend her. For illustra-
ton, the supreme court has always held
that the teacher, acting on the authority
of the school committee, MAJ Insist taat
the pupils be prompt and. REGULAR in
their attendance, and may punish. oven
to suspension or expulsion for avo a.
able absence or tardinn,s, that they b.
provided with hooks and the books drs-
ignated by the teacher on the authority
of the committee, but it does not hol,i
that the teacher can, on any authority,
insist that a child shall pursue every
study prescribed for his class To the
ordinary mind the distinction il so fine
that knowing her right to insist on the
first two points, she does not hesitate Ia
require the third II is here that teach
ers easily get themselves into trouble.
The points of law are simple. 10 be
late, TO be absent, or to have book by
different author does wrong to all
the other pupils, and he accepts the
privileges of the school with the under
standing that he is to require no more
than his proportion of attention directly
or indirectly. In the case of dropping
one study the ruling is that no injustice
is done the teacher or the other pupils
unless it leads to idlencss or mischief
This serves to illustrate the necessity
of a knowledge of the school laws, and
great discrimination in administration
under them. Not the laws only but all
the rulings of the courts under these
laws are important. They are not so
many rs one would think, neither are
they so intricate. They simply need to
be known.-JOnr,aat of Education.

UNCLE DANIEL.
How He Got Even With tho Wall-Strcct
boys on Oshkosh Stocks,


The blunder of q messenger boy in
the Stock Exchange a day or two ago,
by which an order intended for one
broker was given to another and the
operations of Il prominent speculator
exposed, recalls story that Wall-street
men love to tell of dcad-and-gone Uncle
Daniel Drew. Mr.. Drew was squeezed
one famous day by operators in North
west stock, and he laid down big pile
of money in losses. Not unnaturally
Mr.. Drew felt grievod, while other peO-
pie were correspondingly high-spiritcd
and happy. 1t was a great thing to
catch the willy Deacon mapping, and a
hundred jokes went the rounds in cele.
bration of his upsetting. Some of these
bits of humor fell upon Uncle Daniels
own ears, but he didn't seem to pay
much heed to comments that made all
the rest of Wall street laugh hilariously.
Some young men old enough to know
better even went so far as to accost him
personally and laugh in his face. Be.
hind the smile that lighted his face it is
barely possible that the recording angel
heard gritting of teeth, but the festive
brokers did not hear any such thing,
and they went on their way rejoicing
for many days. One evening big con-
gregatiOn of them were in an uptown
club, when all unexpected in marched
Uncle Daniel Drew. He had called
only for moment. he was hunting fol-
a man whom he did not find. 1t was
not an excessively warm night, but
Uncle Daniel seemed to be much over
heated, and two or three times he drew
out his big white handkerchief and
bathed his face in it; and finally out OF
his pocket with the handkerchief came
slip of white paper to float and circle
round till it settled at his feet on tho
floor. Mr.. Drew didn't notice that he
had lost anything; the speculative gen.
tlemen before him did, and the foot OF
one enterprising broker was big enough
to cover the slip of paper over rs it lay
there on the floor Mr.. Drew went out
The eager crowd gathered up the white
scrap, and this in the Wall-street kings
own unmistakable handwriting was
what they said: "Buy me all the Osh.
kOsh stock you can at any price you can
get it below par" Oshkosh was nj.
ready pretty high. Everybody was
agreeing that it was too high, and that
n tumble was inevitable, but the hand
writing of the millionaire operator
plainly exposed on that slip of paper
was sufficient to convince the eager
crowd in that club-room that night that
some new scheme must be afoot to send
it further skyward. Right through the
milestone they saw it all, and then and
there they made up q pool to buy 10000
or 80, 900 shares the next day. They did
and the man who sold it to them was
Daniel Drew. He blandly told them al
about it as they saw their money all
going to pot. Oshkosh declining dozen
points day. Mr.. Drew's handkerchief
exercise had been carefully planned

There is q rumor current that Mr.. ID.

probably return TO his old stamping
ground in Los Angeles at an early day.
The first orange train via the C. $. R'y

Orange shipments have experienced a
little check for the present, owing to
the crowded state of the markets at the
East and the damp airs prevailing here.
which render the fruit too wet for safe
handling. Next week there will prob
ably be big movement again.
For the season to date shipments of
oranges over all lines aggregate about
1876 cars for Riverside, an equal number
for the San Gabriel Valley-all points,
and 20 from Los Angeles, or total of
$40 cars. This is estimated to be about
a third of the crop. The trees are now
relieved of their overload, and there are
still three good months to market
the crop. At that rate nearly one hun
bred cars week will have to be moved.

At $40 last evening fire broke oui
in the residence of Mr.. Henry Niemey.

which the whole building was destroyed,
When the fire broke out Mr.. and Mrs.
Niemeyer were absent. Two of the
girls were sewing at the machine on
which a kerosene lamp was burning. By
some accident the lamp was upset and
the house set on fire by igniting the cur
tains on a window near by. The girl:
awakened a little brother who wa:
asleep in bed and got him out of The
house. They then gave the alarm. Tht
place is full two miles from the neares

had to take water from the zanja, ar
rived in time to save the adjoining
winery, but the residence was a tota
loss, which will amount to about $1,000

Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-02-25

The system of floating breakwaters is
now attracting great attention and
strong effort is being made to get a
large appropriation from Congress for
the purpose of making these break.
waters at Galveston, Texas. This sys-
TEN of making harbors of refuge is
strongly advocated by Sir Bedford
Prim, Rear Admiral in the British
Navy, who is also well known
as prominent advocate of the
Nicaragua Canal. Colonel w. E. Bay
lev, of this city, is in possession OF the
letters and arguments of the Admiral
which are very strong in favor OF the
system which he has seen tried success
fully in England, where the seas are
ruder than ON the shores Of Los Angeles
county.
If Congress entertains favorably the
proposition to make an appropriation to
Galveston harbor for the making of a
Greenway floating breakwater, that
BODY should be induced to increase the
appropriation sufficiently to construct
similar breakwater at Santa Monica
and Long Beach. The cost would be
very small, while the benefits would be
very great. Now is the time to agitate
the question. The remarkable growth
of the business Of Southern California
demands greater facilities for the shelter
of vessels. In yesterdays HERALD ap-
peared list of nineteen ships and barks
en- route to San Pedro. These vessels
and cargoes are worth about 81 800. 900
Besides, the steamers and local lumber
vessels are of still greater value. This
immense amount of property should be
afforded the most ample protection in
case of stormy weather or tempestuous
seas.
1t should also be borne in mind that
the number eff vessels bound for Los An-
geles ports is constantly increasing and
should be afforded ample harbor faciii-
ties. By the floating breakwater system
Santa Monica, San Pedro and Long
Beach could be made delightful and safe
harbors of refuge.
Such a result will decrease ocean
freights and vastly increase business by
sea- going vessels. The subject should be
brought at once before the people and
all its merits and dement's discussed.
