are Justly proud, not the least among
which is her splendid public school sys-
TEN. Without education no people, no
community, can hope to enjoy permanent
prosperity and happiness, for intelligence
is the very foundation of good govern
ment the promoter of welEorganized
and healthy condition of society. From
her earliest history, Sacramento has been
Justly celebrated for the eXcellency of hel
public schools and educational institutions
The first public schools in the State were
organized in this city, and were well fos-
tered and cared for by the pioneer settlers,
who were mostly men of higher order OF
intellectual advancement than those
who usually lead the advance guard
of civilization into the trackless forests
an search of homes. General Suffer, when
he decided the site of the city of Sacra-
mento. was not unmindful of the fact that
" education is the only interest worthy the
deep. controlling anxiety of the thoughtful
man -" for he set apart, here and there,
whole blocks and dedicated them to the
public schools. Those public squares have
been utilized as they were intended. ana
no monument to the memory OF public
benefactor could be more appropriate than
those large, commodious and architecture
ally beautiful educational edifices are to
the memory of General Suffer.
The pubiic-school buildings in Sacra-
mento are among the finest upon the coast,
and are ample to accommodate our
large and constantly-increasing population.
The corps of teachers Is unexcelled, Tor
oftheir number are some OF the best edu-
Gators that are found in any country.
Here the children of the poor are educated
ND to the highest point obtainable outside
of the first collegiate institutions OF our
land. and a certificate from our High
School is a passport, without examination,
to the State University of California. The
English language is taught IN all It's
branches. while German, French, Latin
and Greek are also taught by the best OF
professors. The schools were never IN a
better or more fourishing condition than
AT the present time. They are under the
MANAGEMENT and control of an efficient
Board of Education, and and eX-
cellent and wide-awake Superintendent,
Mr.. r. Beard, who has shown during his
