SCHOOL LAWS.
The Work of Revision Commenced by the
Superintendents Of the State.

The Work of Revision Commenced by the
Superintendents Of the State.
SACRAMENTO, Dec. 3.-The second Bien-
NAL Convention of the School Superinten-
dents of the State for the purpose of re-
vising the school laws, their recommended
tions to be reported to the Legislature, was
commenced in the chambers of the
Supreme Court yesterday State Super
intendent of Public instruction Hoitt,
by virtue of his position, called the conven-
ton 10 order. Superintendent Fisher of
Alameda was elected Secretary and Super
intendent Chapman of Santa Rosa and
Superintendent Greeley of Orange were
elected as assistants. On motion all the
county and city uperintendents-elec were
made honorary members of the convention.
j. w. Anderson, City Superintendent Of
iutendent of Public Instructon-elect, was
unanimously elected Vice-President of the
convention.
The Committee on School Bonds of the
Biennial Convention of County Superinten-
dents to-day reported that cities OF the fifth
class be included in the Municipal Corpora
tion Bill, with power to issue bonds for the
building of schOol-houses.
The report of the Committee on Grammar
Schools was received with great applause
and was as follows:
First-We find that In rare cases our schools
OF this class accomplish the obje CT OF the law.
namely, lit their pupils 10 enter the scientific
course of The Slate University.
Second We find that lhe financial aid given
by the Stale 10 such schools Is so small that the
additional teachers required cannot be secured
except at The expense OF the primary depart
nent OF the same school.
Third-We further md that there Is such
lack OF uniformity In lie grading OF such schools
as re- orted 10 the State Office that the apporlion
ment Of Grammar School Course Fund is unfair
and unjust.
Fourth-We find that the very designation OF
this class of schools Is obscure ana misleading
and that there is a widespread sentiment IN the
Stale that IL is Contrary the spirit of The Con-
stiIulion, which prohibits The use of the State
school money 10 sustain high schools.
Flfth-Ne believe that the results desired are
better ana more satisfactorily accomplished by a
law facilitating the OF gauiZstion of high schools
IN towns aud by tile co ieration of adjoining dis
tric1s, aud We therefore recommend That the
grammar school course be abolished aud proper
provisions be made for The organization Of high
schools.
SIXih-We recommend further that committee
be appointed consisting of the outgoing aud In
coming SupeTlnte ndenIs of Public Instruction,
whose duty II shall he 10 draft u bill providing
Tor such high schools. IRA Il. HoITT,

he returned somewhat under the infiu-
ence OF liquor, and after threatening
to kill every one on the place started for
the house. Bogard, armed with a rifle, or
dered him to keep away. He continued

gard fired. The bullet struck just

A DELUGED JAIL.
The Broadway Prison Flooded by the
Heavy Rain.

Heavy Rain.
The roof of the County Jail leaked like
sieve all Tuesday night, and the Heavy
rains flooded rooms, cells and offices. At
first water poured into tho Matron's room,
and soon trunks and small articles of fur
niture were floating about the floor. The
water quickly made its way through the
rotten flooring to the Office underneath,
carrying away parts of the ceiling and
making bad mess Of everything. Cell AZ
on the upper corridor was SO badly fiooded
that its prisoners had to be removed.
Twentyfour Chinese in the top cells were
drenched through blankets aud clothing,
and were taken to temporary quarters and
provided with dry clothes.
Bucket brigades of ten men each from
the cells were put to work mOpping and re-
moving the food until morning.
This scandalouS condition of the roof is
said TO be due 10 the carelessness of Super
visor Bush and his committee.
