BOARD OF EDUCATION.

High School.

Suggestions In Relation tss the
High school.
The Board of Education met last night,
President Pomeroy in the Chair. and a
full Board and Superintendent Friesner
and MISREPRESENTATION Baker pres
ent.
Professor W. G. Jones, of the State
University, who was present, said that
the object OF his wish was to, examine
into the prospect and future of the High
Schools in the smaller towns, and see if
they were doing High School work, and
to lay before them a general basis Tor
such work as had been agreed upon by q
conference few weeks ago. By getting
them to adopt this basis, the general plan
would be systematized and the State
University would be available to all parts
of the State, without the necessity of the
pupils going to additional expense in pro-
curing the necessary tuition. He was
not prepared to offer any suggestions to
the Board, as he had not visited the High
School here. He advised that the course
of study should include all the subjects
upon which candidates for admission will
be examined, and next that the proper
instructors should be furnished. He
thought that the halliday sessions here
were a detriment. He said that there
are seven schools in the State where ex-
aminations for admission into the Uni
versity are not necessary. These places
are Sacramento, Stockton, San Francis
co, Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley.
Mr.. Ellis asked Professor Jones to tur,
nish the Principal of the High School
here with information as to the
standard required of the seven other
schools whose pupils are admitted.
The latter gentlemen said that there
was a number of schools in the northern
part of the State which complied with
the requirements, most of them being
near the University, and more or lesi
under the observance of that institution
AS regarded the course of study now
prevailing here, it had been found salts
factory.
Professor Clark said it was apparent
that the committee at the University
had not been satisfied with the worl
done, as shown by the examination pa
pers which had been sent up
from the fact that they had no
made the schools of the city on al
equality with those of the North. Tn
standard of the University had beel
raised from time to time, 30 that al
though the standard of the High Schoo
had been raised, yet it might perhap
J still be below that Of the University

Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-04-16

Professor Clark stated that he had al
ways urged the members of the senior
,:lass to try the examinations from the
University held here for the purpose of
encouraging them to come up to that
standard. The work OF the High School
had been approved elsewhere, Gradu.
ates were admitted without examination
at Wellesley, and the same privilege
would probably be granted at Smith,
Professor Jones said that not all grad
yates were supposed to bs admitted. but
only those who were recommended bv
the Principal. He promised to visit the
school, and in an official way inspect the
work.
On motion OF Mr.. Ellis voteof thanks
was rendered to Professor Jones for the
information given.
The Secretary then read a number of
communications The resignation of
Miss Mary E. Murdock OF the Breed
Street School was accepted. The

Sites reported that it had sold the old
Montgomery street school building for
$3.50. The money was ordered turned

schools and was not ready to report.
Further time granted.
The Committee on Credentials and
Qualification reported that it had sent
Miss Emma Stuart to the Breed Street
School, and that Miss Murphy had been
appointed in Miss Murdock's place. APP
proved.
The Committee on High School Mat
ters recommended that Mr.. Clark be re-
quested to furnish the Bcasd with list

A Lively Blaze.

The residence OF George W. Valpey, at
No. "a CASTELAR, street, caught fire last
night about o'clock, and before the fire
department arrived on the scene, the
light frame building was a mass of
flames. The cause was the overturning
of lamp, by accident, and Mrs. Yalpey,
who was in the room where the accident
occurred, hardly had tine to get out un-
injured. She has three children, who
were safely taken out by Mr.. Valpey, but
the mother did not know of this, and
she had to be held to prevent her return
to the interior of the burning building.
Very little of the furniture was saved !,
and it was estimated that the loss was
between 81 200 and 81 500.

Mexican Troops.

Three cars, containing 125 Mexi-
can soldiers and officers, arrived in
Southern California last night, en- route
to the lower country. The men carried
their full regimentals and equipments,
and are being transferred from Chihua-
hua to Lower California. The transfer is
not in any way connected with the
alleged filibustering scheme regarding
that part of the country, but is simply
an ordinary change of establishments.

exploded last night, completely wrecking

Cost OF Armies.

An Ingenious writer has been fgur-
ing out the comparative burden of the
national debts aud war expenditure OF
the chief European nations and that OF
the United States. Taking France
and England together, he shows that
they pay some $5O7, 600, 600 year on
tho public debt, and $40, 900, 600 for
army and navy, besides giving up TO
military service the productive energy
of 100000 able-bodied men. Estimst-
ing the value of this labor at 500
each, there is another $4,000, 600 to
be added to tho annual charge which
France and England pay fo- their
armies, navies and debts. This, it will
be seen, reaches the appalling total Of
$3.50, 600, 900 to be paid by n popula-
tion only % per cent. greater than that
of the United States, and one certainly
very much less able to bear such q
burden. As against this, we pay n
little moro than S15O,O00,O00 year
for army, navy and debt, leaving $780,
600, 900 year in our favor as COM
pared with France and England to-
gether. That, under such conditions,
this country must go ahead in the race
for world supremacy rs rapidly and a.
surely as European nations must fall
behind, needs no prophet to forctell.
MilitaIism and progress are not in
these DAYS convertible terms.

She Got the Needle After All.

Nineteen years ngo this month q
woman residing hero accidentally
pushed needle into hcr breast. Sho
had been sewing on fino muslin and
she pushed the peint Of tho needle
through the lapel of her basque while
she inquired the cause Of quarrel bo-
tween two children who were playing
near by. In u paroxysm of tears tho
Younger child threw herself into the
arms of tho lady, and as she did 80 tho
needle was pushed so far ont Of sight
that only the eye waa visible. A quick
movement to rescue it resulted in m
entire disappearance of the fine bit of
steel. No Inconvenience was expert
cnced and tho incident was entirely
forgotten. A fcw evenings ago the
woman, who had carried the needle
about her for so many years, was
awakened out of sound sleep by n
peculiar pricking sensation in the
throat. Rising up in bed she began to
cough. The prickirg became more
severe but the sharp substance ap-
peared to be rising in her throat.
Thrusting her fingers down as far as
possible, she caught hold of an object
and drew it out. it was tho needle
that had been journcying about under
the surface for nineteen years. apgS-

Our Far Alaskan Citizens.

A writer familiar with the uncivil-
lied EsquimauX of far Northern Alas
ka says that they are the most abject
beings ho ever saw. They neither wash
nor comb their hair, and they wear
dirty, filthy garments year in and year
out. EsquimnuX means raw fish
eater;" their diet is chiefly fish and
game, kept until it is in q state Of pu-
trefaction, when to them it is most de-
licious. Raw blubber of the whale is
great delicacy. Their manner of eat
ing is dog like. Fixing their teeth in
piece of blubher, with dull knife
they saw off the portion which tho
mouth will not admit. Tho men hunt
and fish, while all other work is done
by tho women. They know nothing
Of marriage vows; they cohabit. sopa-
rate and tako new partners Mt pleasure,
one man often having q succession OF
wives. The old-time custom of tattoo
ing the face, arms and breast is still
practiced. The women wear ivory
studs in tho lower lip in which is in
serted their sewing for convent
enco when not in uso. Tho men also
have these apertures with hone Or ivory
studs in their ears, in which rings arc
inserted. This same fashion prevails
largely in Southeastern Alaska. "Out
of the fashion, out of the world" is rs
true of them as of us. There is much
caste among them, aud it would be
hard to find more conservative and
conventional people. e.-Sitha 1(dShd3l.

A USEFUL PREPARATION.

A very useful and simple preparation
that have found beneficial to the plants
is made by mixing two pecks of sheep
manure, one peck of SCOT and two quarts
of guano in hogshead of rain water
Smaller amounts can be made by mixing
the ingredients in the same proportion.
The mixture should be stirred up thor
oughly for day or two and then quart
of quick-lime thrown in. The mixture
will then be ready for use. Weak and
tender plants should be treated with an
application OF this manure about once a
week during the towering period.
Strong, healthy plants can stand ar ap-
piication every day or two, but it is usu-
ally safer to dilute it with onc-third of
clear water when such frequent applica-
tions are made. Orchids, roses, hcaths
and other flowers will show marked i'm
provcment, both in the growth of the
wooded stalks and in the production of
flowers and foliage. AS soon as the
Towering period is over the applications
should cease. If kept up the plants will
be unduly stimulated and their growth
retarded in the end. Amateurs always
have tendency to go to extremes in MS
ing such strong solutions. - Washington

ANTIDoTE FOR ANTS.

tried several methods to prevent ants
molesting bees, and found the following
far the most satisfactory: BY use of
crowbar make hole in the middle of the
anthill down to the bottom, which is
easily found by the more open or less
compact earth. Then turn into this hole
n gill of bisulphide of carbon, and fill and
crowd down with earth. AS the liquid
is very volatile, and cannot pass out of
the now compactly filled hole, it quickly
evaporates and kills all the ants. III clay
be near, always use this to crowd into the
hole, as it is more impcrvious than is sand,
though by firmly pressing with the foot
the sand can be made to hold the liquid.
Kerosene may be used instead of the car
bon, but it is far less effective. So, too,
of carbolic acid. BY means of syrup, SO
covered by gauzc that bees alc excluded,
the ants can be trapped in great numbers
and destroyed. Ihave often done this,
snd by adding Paris green have poisoned
the ants.-Ne0 York Tribune.
