in his last official report to the Governor
and Legislature State Superintendent
Welcler speaks generally in high terms of
the efficiency of the schools throughout the
State. He points out, however instances in
which the educational system can be i'm
proved, and some of his suggestions seem
to commend themselves to the attention of
the public. Referring to the subject of
moral instruction, he says: =" To turn out
good, honest, ciean-living men and women
is that which should be, not merely ac-
knowledged, but felt to be the principal end
and aim of the public schools; that moth
ing should come before or be allowed to in
teriere with this good design: that intel
lectual education should be subordinated to
1t, ana that this instruction should be not
merely incidental. coming to the front on
all suitable occasions, but that it should
have Its regular. and frequent place on the
programme of exercises. 1t should never
be omitted or postponed in favor of any,
thing else"
In regard 10 the occasional complaints
that are urged by taxpayers of excessive
outlay for school purposes ($3072, 057 20 in
1881 ne says: If it should be thought
that the expenses of educating the Young
people of the State are large, it NAV be well
to reflect that it is largely due, in fact alto
gether due, to the great extent of the State
and the thinness of the population The
permanent interests of the commonwealth
require that all the children shall. have the
opportunities of free education, and that
ignoranc and vice shall, as far as may be.
be prevented from the schools. This makes
1t necessary to spread the network OF the
public instruction wherever there are anv
people. California has adopted a generous
AMI liberal policy in the matter, but not
more generous and liberal than wise

in the year 1880 the entire works were
| swept away. From the information OBJ
tanned from parties long familiar with the
locality, and from that acquired by per-
sonal examination, the Commissioners
were unwilling to hazard the States money
at the McCloud. Hydraulic and drift min
ing carried on upon the banks of the Little
Sacramento relieved the Commission of an
examination of the river. Knowing tina,
Commissioner B. B. Redding had been ia
vorably impressed with the opportunities
presented for a salmon hatchery on Pit
river, and that the salmon in vast num-
bers reached the foot OF Pit-river falls I"
tReport OF 1880, page so, distance of
about nine miles above the junction of
Hat creek with Pit river the Commission
ers determined to make an examination of
the Pit. The result was not favorable.
We then made a careful examination of
Hat creek from the falls to the mouth, dis
lance OF about five miles. We found that
the current of water of Hat creek, by
reason of its velocity, was projected nearly
across the sluggish water of Pit
We ascertained that the volume of water
OF the creek was regular, never varying in
hight more than ten inches. For the pur-
pose of ascertaining how prolific were the
| spring and fall runs of salmon in the creek.
we obtained statements from large num-
Der of old settlers and from a score of in
teiligent half-breed Indian fishermen, and
they each and all informed US that the runs
were always large, and often immense, and
that spawn enough could be obtained to
| supply half-dogen hatcheries Our first
examination was made in the last of
March; another was made in April-we
obtained additional and confirmatory state
ments as to the egg supply.
Being assured that spawn in abundance
could be obtained, on the Goth day of April
We selected the site and negotiated for the
land; and for the consideration of 81 the
premises and privileges were conveyed to
the State. The place selected is entirely
satisfactory to the Commissioners, and for
the following reason An assured sup
| ply of salmon eggs; abundance of pure,
cold water; absolute security from freshets;
convenient storage; reservoir sites; ex-
cellence of the SEEMING ground; abundance
of cord wood and building timber; ample
grade for water discharge, etc.
| The site is comely and healthy. An

A Visit to Oahu College.

The members of the Assembly visited the Bishop
Hall of Scientific Studies at Oahu College, on the
18th inst, being conveyed thither in busses placed
at their disposal by the Trustees of the Institution
On ARRIVING, tine honorable members were received
by Professor Merritt the President of the College
and they were invited to witness the performance
of the pupils of the Chemistry class under thu tu-
telage of Professor Van Slyke, who were engaged
in working out, in the laboratory, a problem of
the component parts, regarded the sulphates
class. The class numbered fourteen, about one
third being members of the gentler SEX and the
satisfactory results of their knowledge shown
by all, but one, of the number, presenting correct
answers. The laboratory is we'll lighted and ven
tiated, and Is amply provided with all the acids,
etc, necessary in chemical tests. From here the
party went to the Lecture room where experiments
were given in hydrogen and oxygen gases, by Miss
Dickson and Miss May Dillingham;. Later on
Prof. Van Slyke showed the great thermal power
OF an oxygen hydrogen blow pipe melting copper,
wrought iron and cast steel quickly. He also gave
an illustration of the Drummond light. No pre-
paration had been made to astonish the visitors,
therefore the experiments Were not as varied as
astounding as might have been presented.
An invitation from Mrs. Merritt to partake of
lunch was now given TO the company and, the
"great majority being present in force, the mo-
ton was carried and adjournment was had to the
Parlors. where, at the hands of the young ladies,
the Representatives received ample store of light
refreshment.
Departure was taken for town about l O'Clock,
the members arriving back again to partake in
their duties as legislators, at l:30.
